I really like Satay sauce but I had no idea how easy it was to make it at home, and even better it uses ingredients that I always have in the cupboard (and fruit bowl). This is enough for one dinner for two adults and three children in our house.…
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…

Things are busy, crazy busy this Christmas, and I’m not sure why. (OK it might be the fact that I have a six month old baby and two small boys). Despite having started my shopping in early November I’m not yet finished. The only presents that have been wrapped are…
