Our favourite five – June | Farms, Parks, and Gardens

by StaceyUpdated on May 16, 2024July 4, 2016

So another month has passed in a blur – where does the time go?! It doesn’t feel like summer as it’s supposed to be. Due to the horrendous weather, we have spent more time indoors than outdoors in the last month. On the few sunny days we have had, though, we have enjoyed ourselves outside doing some things featured in our favourite five for June 🙂 (Though I am a little late as I haven’t had any motivation recently, or I’ve been super tired – both have probably gone hand in hand actually!).

The DOT Digital Oven Thermometer | Review

by StaceyUpdated on June 20, 2016June 21, 2016

We are definitely meat lovers in our house; don’t get me wrong, we do eat the odd veggie meal, but the majority of our meals involve cooking meat. I find my oven can be a bit temperamental with its temperature, and cooking times tend to vary so I can never depend on that alone to ensure meat is cooked. Obviously this is very important with meat such as poultry, and unless it is cut into like I used to do, then it’s hard to tell if it is properly cooked. That was, until I was introduced to The DOT Digital Oven …

Happily by Sophie Tanner | Book review

by StaceyUpdated on June 16, 2016June 17, 2016

I have to admit I was quite curious about the main subject of this book, Happily by Sophie Tanner – self marriage – as I had never heard of such a thing previously and I must admit I thought it was a bit odd… How far will you go for your Happily Ever After? Chloe Usher’s had enough of being asked why she’s ‘still single’; people can’t seem to understand why she’s not freaking out about the slippery slope to spinsterhood. But, as far as Chloe’s concerned, life is sweet; she’s happy, she loves her job, her friends and her …

Messy Apron from Messy Me | Review

by StaceyUpdated on June 14, 2016June 14, 2016

Both of my boys love getting crafty – they especially love getting messy with paint but they always get their clothes dirty and sometimes paint is difficult to get off! Jacob didn’t used to like doing so, but for a while now he has worn an apron whilst doing messy crafts at nursery so when we were asked if we would like to review a product from Messy Me, I knew that it would have to be the Messy Apron. A stylish and practical apron for children, aged 3-5 years (approx.) Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth using mild soapy detergent if …

Urban Armor Gear iPad Mini case | Review

by StaceyUpdated on May 25, 2016May 24, 2016

Nowadays, most people I know own a tablet in some form or another. The kids & I all have Kindle Fire’s, but my husband has an iPad Mini. It is our second iPad in 5 years so they have turned out to be quite bulletproof. That is, until Jacob got hold of it last year in a temper and the screen cracked! After getting it fixed, was when I realised that we actually needed some hardcore protection for it, so hubby was rather excited when we were offered the chance to review this Urban Armor Gear iPad Mini folio case. Feather-light …
