Breville Hot Cup – What WE Say…
I’ve been trying to write a review of the Breville Hot Cup for days and I’ve found it really hard. Because I assume you want to know more than “It’s great! Buy one!” But it really is great. And it’s really simple too, so there’s actually not that much to say. It arrived, I took it out of the box and, because I’m impatient, went for the “Quick Start” instruction card rather...
Neal’s Yard Baby Barrier Cream. EVERY house needs it.
Honestly – I’m a bit of a bore on this. Neal’s Yard Baby Barrier Cream is one of my top ‘new baby’ gifts; this little blue pot is an essential in any house. Most Mum’s prefer anything that goes near their babies to be as additive-free as possible. So it’s no surprise that we love the Neal’s Yard range either! Natural products, beautifully packaged… of course we love them. But...
5 Essential Tips for Reluctant Readers (or ‘how do I get my child to love reading and books?!’)

The Angel Abergavenny – A Surprising Family Dinner
Stepping through the doors into the Angel Hotel’s grand Oak Room restaurant with its marble pillars and interesting art, the subdued air muffled by the thick linens and heavy glassware on the tables, I’ll admit I quailed a little.I’d brought my children to eat here? Honestly – this was not the kind of restaurant I’d normally choose as a family dinner location. On a quiet city break for the two of us on a...
Looking for food at Old Trafford? Let us introduce you to Cafe Football.
Lat weekend we were headed for our first ever stay in Manchester. I’ll admit, I was pretty excited – not only was it a kids-free night out, but also my first ever football match (we were going to see the SoccerAid match). We were travelling up from Dorset on the Sunday of the match, so knowing time would be tight we decided the best thing would be to drop our bags at the hotel, and head straight for food at Old...
If you want me, I’ll be in bed with Nora | The Nora Mattress from Wayfair.
Have you seen the new Nora Mattress from Wayfair.co.uk? It’s the all new, affordable premium foam mattress-in-a-box. And I’ll be honest. When they asked if we’d like to review it I didn’t leap up and down and say yes immediately. Even though our mattress is almost as old as our 11yr old daughter. Even though my husband has a deep-seated enmity with our ancient memory foam mattress topper and the way it...
