I'm Moving - Come With Me
Well since I started this blog just over three months ago it has been a whirlwind.
I have shared a lot of thoughts, some well written (I hope) some rubbish (I’m learning). I have had comments from lots of lovely people, learnt what people seem to enjoy reading and made lots of lovely new followers.
I also seem to have veered wildly off my original path of talking about parenting which is why I’m…

Popcorn – what’s not to love, tasty, filling and low in calories. So imagine how excited I was to open my review box of popcorn from Tommy Tucker and discover all these goodies.
This is Tommy Tuckers new Thomas Tucker Flavoured range. Already well established for their popcorn and candy floss in cinemas throughout the UK. Tommy Tucker have recently launched this range of more grown up flavours…

Growing Up - The 5 Things I Miss Most Now My kids Are getting Older
Like every year when my kids birthdays roll around I find myself wallowing in nostalgia and asking myself, where has the time gone? As they turn 9 and 11 this week the scary reality is hitting, that although not quite teenagers they are definitely not my babies anymore.
While there are certain bits of their younger days I definitely don’t miss; changing nappies, sleepless nights, potty training…

I'm No Supermum - Whatever Facebook Says
Ok I have a confession to make… I will never make mum of the year. This will come to no shock to my close family and friends but it may be something of a surprise to my facebook friends and colleagues.
I have something of a reputation at work and through facebook of being “the arty one” or “the creative one” because of what I get up to with my kids. This reputation comes from the endless and no…

Aberdeen Butteries - So Bad But So good
It must be a couple of years ago now that I attended a bread making course at the wonderful Lets Cook Scotland. On the day we made many breads including soda breads and foccacia, the host on the day also made some Aberdeen Butteries for us to take home.
For anyone who has not had an Aberdeen Buttery before I found this description which I think sums them up quite well, “The best way to describe…

A Marriage breakdown As Told By Facebook
A Marriage breakdown As Told By Facebook
One of my favourite pastimes is reading my facebook thread and making comments such as “who cares?” when someone posts another picture of their dinner or their kids winning a medal for writing/walking/singing (delete as necessary). Posts such as “so tired,” or “fed up” also drive me to shout stop moaning at my computer screen. Mr B gently reminds me that I don’t have to actually read these posts…

The Time Capsule - Time For A Spruce Up?
Yesterday my daughter asked if we could go swimming today. Feeling revived from my lovely reflexology session earlier in the day I agreed.
We have a swimming pool in our home town, unfortunately as it does not contain; flumes, wave pools or rapid rivers the kids do not class this as a proper outing to the swimming so we have to travel further afield.
For a long time we went to and loved (and…

Reflections on Reflexology
Way back at Christmas time my daughter was lucky enough to win a prize in her Guide group Christmas raffle. She was most excited when she received a sealed envelope, thinking it may contain cinema, bowling or crazy golf tickets. No such luck for her it contained a voucher for a 45 minute reflexology session. Good for me though as she kindly donated it to her mum.
Fast forward 4 months and I have…

Feeling Puzzled - Ravensburger Wembley Dreams Jigsaw Puzzle Review
I have fond memories of doing jigsaw puzzles when I lived at my mum and dad’s home. My mum went through a big jigsaw phase and there was often a puzzle lying out on a table in the living room. Each member of the family would stop as they passed through and place a piece or two in the correct place, the ultimate goal being to place the final missing puzzle piece.
In recent years my puzzles have…

They Call It Puppy Love - But Should We Encourage It?
Just last week my lovely sister took her niece and nephew (aka my kids) out to lunch at a local garden centre. As kids do they managed to get her to agree to buying them something. The interesting thing was that neither picked something for themselves. My daughter picked a cupcake shaped bath bomb as a gift for her best friend.
And James? The store stocks all sorts of boys toys from footballs to…

Here Comes The Sun And The Hayfever - AllergieBLOCK Review
Many years ago I didn’t really believe in hay fever, that is to say I thought people were making a bit of a fuss about nothing. What’s not to enjoy about the start of summer, the smell of freshly cut grass, crops growing in the fields?
That was before I had my son James and by the age of 5 it was clear he suffered from hay fever in a BIG way. The first thing we noticed was his eyes. From about…

Celebrating National Stop Snoring Week
Today (20th April) marks the start of National Stop Snoring week. Snoring and my desire for it to stop are something which readers of my earlier post “Learning to live with it, err him” will know all about.
Mr B is a snorer of epic proportion, his night time nasal noises are famed amongst friends he has stayed with (even in separate rooms he doesn’t go unheard).
This weekend Mr B had a well…

Mini’s, Maxi’s and MOT’s – Will I Ever Pass First Time?
Driving to work yesterday I heard about a Which Car surveyon the radio detailing the most reliable and unreliable makes of cars. I listened intently and was delighted not to fall into the top 3 most unreliable, maybe this year would be different after all. Because this was  a day I have come to dread every year, it’s not my annual smear test or dentists check up, but my MOT, and I was on my way…

Garden Games - Great Ideas For Fun In The Sun
The sun is shining (a rare occurrence in this part of the world,) and my son is currently out in the back garden killing zombies with the boy from down the road. The zombies are pieces of cardboard and the weapons, water pistols. It is making me smile to see how much fun they are having with just  the simplest of things. Though if my nearly dry washing get’s soaked I won’t  be smiling.

Kelpies and Climbing Frames - Day Out At Helix Park
Well today was another typically wild and windy Scottish spring day but we braved the wind and headed to Helix Park in Falkirk, home of the two 30 metre high steel Kelpie’s constructed in 2013. I have a soft spot for Kelpies after being enthralled by Frances Mary Hendry’s – Quest for a Kelpie at primary school (if you haven’t read it, do so now.)
On arrival you have the choice of parking for…
