This week we've had decorators in. They've been painting walls, ceilings, doors, skirting boards, window sills and stair banister. Nightmare! The house is upside down ....and there are a lot of things in wrong places! I'm looking forward to trying to return to the slightest bit of organisation that we had. Have you ever had [...]

Fun at Home
Lately we have been pretty busy. Here, there and everywhere. So today we stayed at home. We have done some puzzles, read books.... I bought these books from Home Bargains the other day and kids enjoyed them today. A nice, cheap, non-sugary treat that kept them entertained for ages! Bonus! We also played some games. [...]

Keeping Fit Together
So.... by "keeping fit together" I mean the kids keeping fit and we are trying to get fit again! I've always been pretty active with sports and dancing, but 4 kids and 3 c-sections later.....I am nowhere near as fit as I want to be. It's pretty tricky finding time to exercise and prepare meals [...]
Monkeying Around
So after a not so great week we decided that we were going to have a fun Saturday! We took a trip to Trentham Monkey Forest. Â We had a school class bear with us too, so of course we had to show him a good time! The 'to do' list went out of the window [...]
The Lake District
Last year we took a last minute trip to the the Lake District. We went online and found a cool little Hobbit Hole to stay in at The Quiet Site. It was so much fun! The kids absolutely LOVED it! It was a great experience for all of us. Inside was very basic; a bathroom, [...]

Here is what you'll need: 6oz of butter (at room temp) 3oz of caster sugar 9oz of plain flour 1 tsp of cinnamon (optional and to taste) A big bowl [...]
