In my late 30s, I’m a devoted mum to two wonderful boys who are both autistic—a unique aspect that makes them different, not less. I also share my home with my husband and Barney, my lovable Frenchie x Beagle.

The Health Benefits of Red Meat

For plenty of years, people have accused red meat of being bad for your health for not one but a plethora of reasons. Many of those who were once meat lovers and proud carnivores have even bought into the statements that highlight the negative traits of red meat and as a result, they converted to veganism and resorted to a diet that consisted of vegetables, fruits and anything but red meat. The question that still stands is: is red meat really bad for you as many have portrayed it to be? Is it really something that should be cut out …

Receiving the December Degustabox was like receiving an early Christmas present full of surprises. Only this particular present, I had to share. As usual, I was keen to tuck in as soon as it arrived!

Photo by Christine Roy on Unsplash Though the title says, as much as I would love to travel around the world in 2018, it most definitely is not going to happen. In fact, we haven’t even travelled out of the UK for almost ten years. So the boys have never been abroad, but I would love to broaden their travel horizons and give them some amazing experiences. Even myself, I’ve only been as far as the Canary Islands, and that’s when I was a teenager.

Festivity with Prestige Flowers | Review

One of my favourite sights in my house is a bunch of flowers on display. I think it’s such a welcoming sight for guests, and you can’t beat the smell of a fresh bunch. I don’t get bought flowers very often (hint, hint, Husband), so I usually buy them myself. Alternatively, I make my own display with cuttings from the wildflowers in the garden. My usual floral display around Christmas time is a poinsettia plant. I just love the colourful reds and golds of the festive season. A few weeks ago though, the lovely people at Prestige Flowers sent me a bunch …
