Pommito Mocktail Recipe
We’re slowly inching to what should be the summer months, June, July and August although so far we haven’t seen much heat! However, I remain ever hopeful and it hasn’t stopped me preparing for summer as far as every day life goes. One of my favourite things about the warmer weather is the sort of food and drink us Brits tend to turn to, we swap soups and roast dinners for salads and barbeques, we tend to order more fruity cider and cocktails while out in beer gardens. Appletiser has recently released a new flavour to go along with their original “Appletiser” and “Apple and Pomegranate” this is “Apple and…

My Favourite Purchases from Florida, April 2015
As I mentioned before heading out to Florida I had a bit of cash that was purely for spending. At the end of the day I didn’t end up having as much as I thought as food cost way more than I budgeted! But I still managed to pick up some gorgeous bits and I wanted to share my particular favourites with you all today. First up, my favourite purchase from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is the wand I picked up. It’s from Ollivanders and is an Ivy wand. I like to believe that if I was in Harry Potter my wand would be Ivy with a unicorn…

How to Fake Confidence
When I came back from the states, I had a bit of an identity crisis. Looking back on it, almost 6 weeks later, I know there were a lot of factors that resulted in me sliding back into the black pit of hopelessness. But as a mother, every time I do end up here again, I don’t have the option of crawling back under my quilt and spending the day there. Yes, I take naps whenever I can (mainly because when I feel like this, my insomnia is particularly bad) but I don’t get a “day off” pursay. So instead, I fake it. I’ve had to fake confidence in myself…

A Night in with Primula Dips
As I’ve made it rather clear now, I rarely ever have a night out. 95% of the time I’m in the house on a Saturday night, 1% i’m out of the country, 1% I have friends staying and the other 2% is the nights I spend at my best friend Bee‘s house. If I’m honest, Saturday nights are just as dull as any other night of the week. I rarely drink, because it feels super sad buying a bottle of wine I know I’ll drink myself.. and not even as a pre-drink. If you want to know the truth, I usually work. So when Primula offered me the chance to…

5 Great Gift Ideas for Father’s Day*
SOME LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE You may or may not be aware that next month is Fathers Day! As I’m saving hard I’m already on the look out for the right sort of gift to get my old man. It’s so hard when he’s been a dad for 27 years, he has EVERYTHING! Last month was his birthday and I resorted to buying him something while I was in the US! My dad doesn’t have any hobbies really (aside from the pub or falling asleep at the TV) which makes it really hard to buy for him. He doesn’t play sports, or read, or…

Walt Disney World April 2015, Day 7 – Magic Kingdom
I’ve taken a little bit of a break from my holiday diary as none of my readers seemed to be finding them of interest. But as I really want to have a reminder of what we got up to, I’m going to continue. Day 7, only three to go. We spent all of our 7th day in our favourite park, Magic Kingdom. I have to admit that the Sunday signaled the beginning of 4 very magical days. I mean our whole holiday was magical but by the Sunday, we really were rolling in pixie dust! Here’s what we got up to; We started the morning at Be Our Guest for…
