We found out we were going to Camp bestival only 2 weeks before it started. Eeek, I thought I must write lists, I must plan this is huge!Due to the short notice my husband was unable to come due to his work schedule so I asked my friend Christina to come along with me and the kids. We left at 6.30am on the Thursday morning and it took 6 hours to get to Lulworth. Getting on site was pretty painless and once parked up we loaded up the trollies. I suggested we set up camp near where the boutique ...

Review – I want to ride my Micro trike
Matilda is a very strong willed, independent 3 year old. On a daily basis she tell me “I’m a big girl mummy” and is always insistent she can do anything and everything. This is not a bad thing. I like the fact she has her own mind but sometimes when shopping and in busy places I could do with her being close to me. Not striding off at her own pace to do her own thing. This is where the micro trike has been invaluable. Not really keen on going in a buggy anymore but she is very unsure about ...
Finding the time – giveaway and review of Jord watch
I was recently contacted by Jord watches and asked to review and run a giveaway contest. I will often accept items for family, friends and the children but I’ve never actually accepted something for myself before so I thought why not? Treat myself for a change to a new woman’s watch and it’s a lovely competition to be able to share. I can’t actually remember the last time I bought something for myself. We went out to a evening wedding the other night and it was lovely to be able to take time ...
Canvas Champ review and Giveaway
We spend so much time with cameras to hand now. It’s so easy to take a picture and store them away. My parents have shelves and shelves of photo albums but I maybe have one knocking about. When I was recently contacted by a brand called canvas champ and asked if I would be interested in receiving a free 12x8 personalised canvas I thought it was a great opportunity to get a picture actually printed for a change. The first thing I thought about was which picture I should use. Like most people I ...
Trekker BBQ – review and giveaway
I love a BBQ, we all do. Given the choice the children (and Penny the dog) would have bbq every day. Any excuse to be outside. Combine that with being an enthusiastic carnivore a good BBQ ticks all of the boxes. We were looking for a gas BBQ that we could take away with us on caravanning holidays. We’ve got an external gas connector on the van so a portable compact BBQ works for us. The Trekker by Outback ticked all of the boxes. It comes with two sets of legs, one for table top use, and a ...
Fruit, juice and Lolly pops
A favourite way to spend some time in the Summer holidays for my children is fruit picking. I actually really enjoy it too and you can find so many farms now that have parks, cafes and animals as well as the fruit picking so you can really make a day of it. It costs very little but it can easily fill a day. The other option is to go wild and pick from your garden or the fields. We have so many blackberries around us, plenty to share with all the wildlife. What ever fruit you pick be it from a ...
