The Valentine’s – or not – Gift Guide
Some people love Valentine’s Day – it’s an excuse to up the ante on the romantic stakes and forces people to focus on their relationship, even if it’s just for one day. Other people – like cynical old me – think it’s a load of makey up rubbish that’s about over priced set menus […]
Hot Whiskey Smoked BBQ Salmon
Most people don’t bbq fish choosing instead to go with bbq meat packs from the supermarket or butcher or even using frozen burgers and sausages. To me this is a real shame because a bbq can be used to cook so much more and better food that doesn’t really cost much more and sometimes even […]
Dormeo Memory Plus Mattress Review
SO MANY of you have been asking how we got on with the Dormeo Memory Plus mattress that I ordered online a few months ago – the full review is finally here! I wanted to wait a while before posting it on here because I really don’t think you’d be able to properly judge […]
Mixed Berry Drink
You will love this and it is dead easy to make so why not give it a go, I bet the kids would love to help out. Buy a tub of Ice cream and make delicious desserts for them and you of course. Simply fill a strong glass or bowl with ice cream then half […]
Grey & Blush Kids’ Bedroom Inspiration
Nine times out of 10, I end up being squashed between three children in my bed at night. Don’t get me wrong: co-sleeping has worked wonders for us over the years and I’m enjoying bedtime snuggles as much as I can before I become public enemy number one with my children. But I have […]
Homemade Smoked Bacon & Cheese Burgers
This is one of the first recipes I posted and the one dish that is responsible for me posting my recipes online in the first place. Use the cheaper mince with the higher fat content to make them as it make a far nicer burger than the steak mince with little fat. The fat falls […]
Sweet Vegetable Soup
As always, I generally don’t bother making soup unless I think there’s a chance the kids will eat it. That, unfortunately, means nothing like lentils or barley and not a lump or bump in sight. So I always try to come up with a combo of flavours they’ll enjoy while at the same time […]
The House So Far…
Well guys, I promised you a house update with some photos and here it is. Apologies for the quality of the photos – it was such a bright and sunny day on site that I couldn’t actually see what I was shooting. I realised after that I should have been holding my phone the other […]
Learn to Be Organised like a Pro
I bumped into the lovely Sarah Reynolds from Organised Chaos at the Ideal Home Show at Halloween and I was in awe of how simple she made being organised sound. I vaguely remember feeling pulled together once upon a time. But since having kids, I feel like I’ve been chasing my tail and […]
Review: Wet and Dry Grinder by Andrew James Worldwide
I posted on Facebook a while ago about a new toy I got online on the Andrew James Worldwide website. (I had to use Parcel Motel for delivery as they don’t offer delivery to Ireland, which is ironic, given the name of the site!) and a few of you contacted me at the time […]
