With a greedy toddler & baby in this house, who never stop eating (well obviously they do at some point, but it doesn’t feel like it!), I have to make sure that I’ve got plenty of snacks and the like for them as one of them will be wanting food at practically every point in the day. The lovelies at Organix recently sent us a box of goodies for J & N to try out. In the goody box, we received: multigrain mini cereal puffs (RRP £2.49) apple rice cakes (RRP £1.19) vanilla multigrain hearts (RRP £1.99) banana, peach & …

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
On Thursday evening we went to see the town Christmas lights being turned on. We attempted it for the first time with J last year but it didn’t go very well in the end – we were running a little late so we were half way down the high street when they went on (so missed the countdown and bits before) and then they had fireworks which J was terrified of and just cried at so we left! It was much more successful this year though. We left in good time as we knew it would be very busy, not …
Christmas magic, dinosaurs, and playground fun
On Monday we visited Brigg Garden Centre as they now have their huge Christmas shop open and it was a tradition we had to visit with my mother-in-law before she passed away.

They usually have some kind of magical display in their Christmas Land and …
Getting back into employment
My first ever job was when I was at college – I wanted some extra money so I could “keep up” with my friends, have nights out, just have a little more independence. It was at a very well-known supermarket, working in the staff canteen. I worked there for a year before I moved away to go to University. For a long while I didn’t have a job and just lived off of my student loan, but over Christmas was the time when everybody needed that bit of extra cash, so I found employment in a well-known pub chain. I …
A rainbow Naming Day
Last week was little man N’s Naming Day. One of the meanings of his name is ‘rainbow’ and he is our rainbow baby, so that was the obvious theme! I had been planning for ages and made a few things myself. I love getting creative when it comes to parties as I think it’s so much more appreciated, and I feel like I myself have gotten so much more out of it. I was getting myself in a flap in the couple of weeks before as I kept getting people saying they could no longer come, then half of the …
