Slime, it’s been the big hit of 2017 really hasn’t it? The sticky hit. We’ve caught the bug and have been working our way through Slime Recipes with help from our good friend Dr How from Science Wows Ultimate Slime Guide . Not content with sticky, disgusting, slimey slime the…
It’s back! The “Week in Dinners” series has always been pretty popular on the blog but I often forget about what we’ve eaten or just forget to write it down. We can all get a bit stale on the dinner inspiration and what the kids will actually eat. Sometimes…
Last September I received the Happy Pear Cookbook to review and having loved the their healthy Caramel Slices and seeing Jill from Properfud raving about their healthy version of Twix bars I had to check them out. Jill was right, these are magnificent. And all they contain is fruit…

I’ve written about the chaos that can ensue when I bring my children to the supermarket, the running up and down the aisles and the general mayhem. One of the things that they beg for are the bags of cookies in the bakery aisle as you go in, the smell…
