As you may have gathered from all the recipes here on the blog, we love cooking and baking in our house and the boys love getting stuck in too. Baking cookies is their favourite, of course, but recently they’ve both also been taking an interest in helping to cook meals for dinner. So it was […] Read more…
Happy Museum Monday! Today I have the last museum from our trip to Japan this past February to share with you, and it’s the Anpanman Museum in Yokohama. Who is Anpanman, I hear you ask? Well, the Japanese are known to make cute cartoon characters out of pretty much anything, so it won’t surprise you […] Read more…
My kids are pretty good when it comes to eating vegetables. Most vegetables they like outright, some though they only like in certain ways e.g. only raw or only as soup (I think it’s a texture thing). Spinach is one of the vegetables that falls in to the latter category. My spinach and Parmesan dumplings […] Read more…
Last month I attended the annual BlogOn conference in Manchester. Little did I know, that besides inspirational talks, great conversations with brands and other bloggers, and an epic goodie bag, I would also come away winning a free fitting and pair of shoe from Hotter Shoes as part of their ‘Hotter Fit Fortnight’. Since this […] Read more…
Happy Museum Monday! Today’s pick isn’t technically a museum, but it includes museum-like exhibits so I’m going to let it count. We visited the ‘Bisophäre Potsdam’ a couple years ago when we were living in Berlin. It’s located in the city of Potsdam, in the state of Brandenburg, which is right next door to Berlin. […] Read more…
With all the rainy weather we’ve been having recently, we’ve been spending a lot of time at our local library so I thought I’d do another round up what library books we have been reading recently. We discovered some really good ones! If you enjoyed the video, I’d be really grateful if you would subscribe […] Read more…
We’ve been trying to cut down on our consumption of refined sugar lately, and while we’re doing okay with snacks and baking (lots of excuses to try new sugar free cookie & cake recipes!), one thing we’ve struggled with is jam. We eat muesli, granola or porridge most mornings – we love us some oats […] Read more…
A wee while ago I shared a preview of Wallace & Gromit’s Musical Marvels, which has been touring the UK since mid May. We had been gifted tickets to go and see this, in return for an honest review, and this past weekend, the big day finally arrived and we were off to the Usher […] Read more…
Happy Museum Monday! We’re heading back to Sweden with this week’s recommendation. Our trip to Gothenburg (or Göteborg, as it’s known in Sweden) a couple years ago is one of my favourite family holidays to date, and the host of family friendly museums in Gothenburg were a big part of that. I’ve previously shared our […] Read more…
We’ve gotten in to a really bad habit recently of packing ready made snacks in to my son’s school bag in the mornings – oat bars, yogurt raisins, fruit leather, that kind of thing. It was meant to be a once a week treat, but it’s kind of taken over and while they are mostly […] Read more…
