This month my Foodie Penpals parcel came from the lovely Marjan all the way over in The Netherlands! I always love receiving my parcel from overseas as it means I get to try to local foods that I probably wouldn’t get the chance to otherwise. The parcel made me smile straight away when I opened it to this gorgeous postcard with a glimpse of The Netherlands. I have visited a few times and I forgot how beautiful it was. I’ve also never tried any regional foods from there! First up were these cheese biscuits – quite like ones we get …

Foodie Penpals – February reveal
Right, so I am a lot late with my reveal for February’s foodie penpals. My labour started on reveal date and I hadn’t written this post by then, and I have still been trying to find my feet as a mummy of two and finding time for blogging (must find some kind of routine!). Anyway, here it is – better late than never?! My parcel for February came from the lovely Carol from Wales who blogs over at Corpulent Capers. As ever, I was excited and eager to see what was in my parcel – especially as I told her in …
Review – Organix Winter Warmers range
Since we started weaning little man we have used the Organix brand – even now he especially loves the cheese & herb puffs; well he loves anything that tastes of cheese really!

On their website Organix state: Our Unique No Junk Promise guarantees our foods are made with nothing but the best-quality organic ingredients. When buying ready made meals from brands, I think that …
Review: Baker Days letterbox cake
Baker Days are a company situated on the edge of Sherwood Forest, and as you can probably tell by the name, they bake! They produce party cakes, personalised cakes, photo cakes, cupcakes, and now through innovation, they can even deliver you a cake through your letterbox! That’s right, nobody has to be in to receive it, and it can be waiting for the recipient when they get home. I have seen lots of talk about these cakes on social media and have been lusting after one myself, so I was thrilled when I was asked if I would like to try …
Foodie Penpals – July reveal
Sorry, I’m a little late with my reveal for July; I’ve had such a lot going on in the last week and have not found time to open my parcel, let alone write my post. Anyway, my parcel this month came from the lovely Kelly in Scotland. I received my parcel a little late this month as Kelly was going away, and I had so much going on that I replied late, so I had to wait until she came back – though it was my fault, not hers! It was worth the wait anyway, as always though I haven’t …
