Millionaire shortbread bars.
Millionaire shortbread bar’s are my ultimate guilty pleasures.
With a lovely crumbly shortbread layer on the bottom, a sweet homemade caramel layer in the middle which oozes when eating them and a thin chocolatey layer on top these millionaire shortbread bars are always a massive hit with whoever tries them.
What you need for these yummy bars:
160g plain flour.
60g caster sugar.
215g butter.

20 Halloween costume ideas for children.
Hello everyone! So Halloween is just round the corner now, and if you are like me I love dressing my son up for Halloween, however I can never really experiment with his costumes, because he wants to be a skeleton every year, but I plan on trying to dress my youngest up differently every year (until he tells me what he want’s to be) ~ This year will be his first Halloween and my step-dad has…

38 Weeks pregnant.
Only 9 days to go! (unless little one decides to come earlier).
About baby this week:
If you don’t know already, can you tell if you’re carrying a boy or a girl? One hint may come from the size of your baby – boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls. Babies at week 39 weigh between 3kg and 3.2kg and continue to build the fat stores that will help regulate body temperature after birth.
Your…

This week has been another tough one, my son had another one of his fits, so we are now waiting on a date for an MRI scan.
My pelvis has got even worse, and I am really struggling with it. So I am really counting down the days now.
One stressful week!

36 Weeks? Where has the time gone?
The last week has been a bit of a struggle with my pelvis, I am in agony most of the time, especially when I am trying to move around in bed, I don’t know if this is due to baby being in my pelvis area, but I never felt like this with my son. It feels just like the baby is going to fall out of me! Strange.

So this week was a good one, we found out the cesarean date ~ Which will be the 16th of next month. Very nerve wracking!
About baby this week:
Your baby now weighs about 2.4kg and measures around 46cm from head to toe. His elbows, feet or head may protrude from your stomach when he stretches and squirms about. Soon, as the wall of your uterus (womb) and your belly stretch thinner and let in more…

The countdown can begin!
After many weeks of wondering when and how I will be giving birth, the decision was kind of took out of my hands when I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes.
I have had to schedule a Cesarean section, since I am unable to go too far over 39 weeks. However, if I go into natural labour before then I am able to give natural birth an attempt (which I wouldn’t really mind to be honest).
I find it…

The shark in the dark by Peter Bently.
The shark in the dark by Peter Bently.
A mean, greedy shark thinks it’s funny to be a bully to the small fish, that is until the smart squid comes up with a plan to get the shark to never bother them again.
When the shark comes out from the deep dark sea, he tries to get the fishes to get in his belly for his tea.
My review:
Peter Bently has made a very imaginative book with a brilliant anti-bullying backdrop to it, it makes a…

Yesterday was a bit of a nightmare. I had a consultation appointment at the hospital, which I was expecting to find out when I am having baby. However, there wasn’t really any need for this appointment since I will be seeing the same consultant at my diabetes consultation appointment tomorrow, so I had a wasted trip over to the hospital. It actually took longer to get there.
So fingers crossed I…

Yesterday, me, my husband and my son had a very fun day out. We went to Thomas Land for the first time (well, me and my husband’s first time anyway).
Thomas Land is located in Drayton Manor theme park which is in Tamworth, Staffordshire. The travel time was just enough from where we live (it took us about 1 hour and 15 minutes. There are tons of parking available, so when it is at its most busy, there shouldn’t be a problem with parking the car.
We arrived at the park at about 9:40am ish (park opened at 9.30) and wasn’t busy, so because we had pre-brought our tickets and printed them off at home, we was able to go straight to the turnstiles with no one in front of us and was straight into the park (massive bonus with a very excited 5-year-old).
The first thing that you come to (which will be on your left) is the entrance to Thomas Land, which is perfect for little legs, so they don’t have far too walk.
(Please note, the pictures for the rides are from google maps since I was unable to take my own).
There was a massive variety of rides, that are perfect for children, all the rides have a height chart for you to check your child’s height before actually queuing for the ride (which would save a lot of time for you). Most rides have a minimum height requirement, but for the majority of them, if they are under this, you are still able to take them on, but they will have to sit on your lap. There is also an indoor play area, however we wasn’t too bothered about that since we was more interested in the outdoor rides.
After walking round the main part of Thomas Land and having our packed lunch, we took a ride on the train to get to farmer McColl’s farm, which had a few animals, which unfortunately we couldn’t actually see most of the birds because of how overgrown the plants were inside of the pens (unsure whether it was supposed to be like this ~ However it really let it down. There was a discover Thomas exhibition which featured a table top train track with working trains.
Also in this area was the Dino trail, which with a dinosaur loving five-year old, he loved it! Shame it wasn’t a little bigger, but we still loved it none the less.
We then took a gentle walk back to the main park (which only took about 5 minutes tops, with a few stops to look at the animals that were on the way back.
We fancied a little treat from one of the little cafe’s on the park, so we decided to stop off at Station buffet. Me and my husband had a Shmoo milkshake each, which cost £2.40 each, (with no toppings ~ since they cost 55p each extra), our son had a white magnum cost £2.10, so overall, fairly expensive, but I didn’t expect it to be cheap. We had a little problem when paying, since I tried to pay with a note, only to be asked ‘do you have any change, or you can pay by card since I don’t have enough change.’ This did annoy me a little since you would think they would have enough change, so in the end I had to pay by card, but we did enjoy the treats so that made up for it.
After that, my husband son went on to the Winston’s whistle-stop tours. Which they had to queue for about half an hour or more for, for it to only last roughly 1~2 minutes, so my husband wasn’t that impressed, however, this is the only ride that we had to queue for a very long time, so we just put it down to it was the most popular ride.
By this time, it was roughly 4pm, and we hadn’t had anything to eat since about 11.30, so we thought we would have some dinner in the burger kitchen since it was right next to Winston’s whistle-stop tours, and was recommended to us from relatives. This was a very reasonably priced restaurant for being at a theme park. me and my husband had one of the 1/4 pounder cheese burger meals each ~ Which came with chips and drink and cost £6.95 and our son had a children’s 4 chicken nugget meal which came with chips and a juice drink and cost £4.95, he also wanted a slush, so he had a regular sized slush with cost £2.20, so the whole meal was a total of £21.05 which we found to be very reasonable.
The burgers were tasty, you could tell they was handmade, since they wasn’t very round, but I loved this. The chips were very tasty and crispy, our son’s chicken nuggets were proper chicken nuggets, not like the one’s you get from McDonald’s, and he loved them. We loved this restaurant, and will definitely be eating here when we next go.
By the time we finished eating our food, it was roughly 5pm (rides are due to shut at 5.30pm). So we let our son go onto Lady’s carousel since there was no line, and he was the only one on there. We then decided to go back onto the train to go back to McColl’s farm to have one last look at some of the animals, plus our son loved the train the first time, and the queue was very small for the train, once we finished that side, it was about 5.30pm ish so we decided to get the train back (since it was now Thomas and we had only rode on rosie).
After the fun filled day of our son going on nearly every single ride and had some scrummy food, it was unfortunatly time to leave. We enjoyed ourselves the whole day and we can’t wait to go back!
Our Funday at Thomas Land. Yesterday, me, my husband and my son had a very fun day out. We went to Thomas Land for the first time (well, me and my husband's first time anyway).

Another uneventful week really, me and my son have been having fun in his first couple of weeks of his summer holiday, we have been painting, playing with play-dough and we have a trip to Thomas Land planned.
I haven’t got any appointments until the 9th, which is the first time in a long time that I have gone over a week without an appointment, so the next week isn’t going to be that busy either,…

How to make homemade play-dough.
After the massive success of the homemade paint that we made yesterday, I thought that we would try and make play-dough which is totally toxic free.
Play-dough is normally banned from our house because it being so annoying with getting in every nook and cranny and finding hard play-dough shoved into toys, so we put a ban on it.
However, I thought I would give homemade play-dough a chance and I…

How to make your own toxic free paint.
So, I do have to admit I am one of the mummy’s that don’t really like my son playing with paint, for one I have a phobia of him being near chemicals, and two, because of the mess it normally makes.
However, I thought this summer holiday, I would try out homemade paint which I can be comfortable with him using that (even though he is five) if he was to accidentally put any in his mouth he wouldn’t…

I have had quite an uneventful week really, not much has happened, I have a growth scan today, and will probably be the last time I see little man until he is here.
I am really struggling with my sleeping now, since he thinks night time is a good time to practice karate and making me need the loo. So I think my body will be more than ready for the broken sleep once he is here.

10 Things you should never say to a pregnant woman.
We’ve all done it, we sometimes say stuff and then think “why on earth did I say that?”. Or have been on the receiving end of an awkward conversation.
You are probably more than likely to receive such annoying conversations when you are pregnant. Sometimes it can be a stranger passing by and you over hear them, or someone may say it directly. It can be quite frustrating if you’re ever on the…
