I was deeply saddened recently to hear the news of the little boy who died from choking on a grape. Unfortunately though, this isn’t an isolated incident as children choking on food is more common than you think. 40% of parents asked by St John Ambulance have witnessed their baby choking, with almost four-fifths not knowing what to do in such a situation. We may be one of those parents that thinks “Oh it will never happen to my children”, but what if it did? Would you know how to deal with a choking incident? I must admit, before this …
Moving on & new beginnings
Other than a random three or four posts over the last couple of weeks, you may or may not have noticed that I have been a bit AWOL from blogging (again – that’s twice this year!). The reason being – we moved house, and it has been a completely different lifestyle change for us. We’ve moved into what was my in laws house; so we have gone from a small 2 bed flat in a town, surrounded by what I can only describe as ‘unsavoury’ neighbours who we have had endless problems with over the last year, to a large …
Recipe/Tutorial – ‘Home Sweet Home’ Victoria sponge celebration cake #GBBOBloggers2015
So the Bake Off final. Everybody reading this must have watched it, right? I knew who I wanted to win (Nadiya), though I think they all made amazing showstoppers!

I knew I was going with a showstopper classic British cake, and I had a few ideas before I actually took inspiration from a …
Slimming World weigh in #35 – the one where my butt gets kicked
You may I have noticed I have been absent from blog weigh ins again for the last few weeks. There are reasons for this which I will update on in another blog post soon, but now I am finally getting back into the swing of things – blog wise anyway – I thought I better post my latest one! The last few weeks have been difficult in all honesty, with some big life changes happening and I have not been totally on plan. We’ve had meals out, takeaways, and I’ve been snacking on biscuits and chocolates. I have really tried …
Review – Thomas & Friends My First Rail Rollers Spiral Station
Both boys are at that age now where they are starting to share – and argue – over toys; though they have plenty to be going along with they always want what the other has, of course! N has only just really started showing an interest in cartoon characters and will play with anything, though he is really into J’s old toys now rather than his baby ones – well I suppose he is a fully fledged toddler now rather than a baby! He was recently asked to review this brilliant toddler toy, perfect for newly instated toddlers! It is part …
