Hubby & I both love Mexican food and although I do love cooking from scratch, sometimes it’s nice to be able to just throw something together from a packet when I’m feeling tired or lazy, and especially when it’s from a brand like Old El Paso. We have used quite a few products from Old El Paso before but we were sent the following items to review, the majority of which I have not tried before: crispy chicken mix chilli seasoning mix wholewheat tortilla wraps corn tortilla wraps squeezy soured cream squeezy red jalapeno relish We hadn’t had fajitas for a …

Portable North Pole 2014 – #IBelievePNP
Last year was the first year in which we used the Portable North Pole and though J wasn’t really too aware of Santa last year, he was absolutely mesmerised by it so I couldn’t wait to do it again this year now he is much more aware. And of course, it is N’s first year; though he’s not at all aware of Santa but it’s lovely for them to both have one and start the tradition with him. The video is really easy to create and literally takes just a few minutes to input all the information to truly personalise it for …

You can’t beat some salt & vinegar on a plate of chips but another thing I really love is salt & pepper on chips. There’s also just something about sea salt that makes it extra tasty, and peppercorns I also prefer to ground pepper. I’ve always had separate salt & pepper mills but I was recently offered the chance to try this Fresko Duo Salt & Pepper Mill & Grinder from Ozeri which: is made of the highest quality stainless steel …
Review – Hobbycraft wooden advent calendar
Even as adults, hubby & I still tend to have a chocolate advent calendar – you know, we’re still big kids! We’ve forfeited them this year though as we both eat enough chocolate as it is. For the last couple of years I’ve really fancied a wooden advent calendar (either pre-made or DIY) but have just never got around to getting one. I was recently given the opportunity to review a DIY wooden advent calendar from Hobbycraft so I excitedly jumped at the chance as I haven’t gotten crafty since last Christmas! I received a tree shaped advent calendar and some …
