Saucony Virrata – review
Let me start off by saying… I am no runner. I have started the Couch to 5K programme twice – last year I stopped at week 3, fearful for my heart (it’s not good when you can feel your pulse bulging in your neck, and you may actually have wet yourself, is it?). But this year, accompanying the husband on his Road To Good Health, I have managed to stick with it all the way to week 9. But – on the cross-trainer. It...
Spotted! GORGEOUS yellow enamel mugs – and they’re only £4!
I WANT these mugs for my road trip. How can you possibly be uncheered drinking your morning coffee out of one of these gobsmackingly cheerful beauties? Love love LOVE them – the yellow speckled enamel mugs were spotted over at Utility, my brand shiny new find, a home of all things wonderful. The mugs are 8cm high, 8cm diameter – and the unbelievably brilliant price of just FOUR POUNDS EACH!
Introducing Blue the Calamity – the family rottweiler who just gets… broken.

There are a few permissions you need to grant – nothing that caused me undue...

It’s the LittleStuff #GoProAdventures Show. Careful. This camera may change your life.
A few weeks ago we were invited by GoPro to take part in a blogger’s challenge. Five families were invited; all working to complete a set of ten challenges using their new GoPro kit. And the winner? Oh, they get to go to the GoPro Mountain Games in Colorado next summer… *squeak* We’re a pretty outdoors kind of family anyway; we spend as much time as we possibly can clambering up far-too-high hills and mountains to...
