Howdy Peeps! Apparently it's summer... (Not that you can tell outside) so for toddler group I was looking for some summer inspiration. I found the website Happiness is Homemade and found some cute crafts, including little plastic cup pineapples. You can paint the outside of cups yellow but I actually found some yellow ones in [...]
Howdy Friday Peeps! Have you got a 3-day-weekend ahead? We're excited here! Anyhoo, I realise I haven't shared a recipe in aaaaaaaaaaaaages (sorry about that) but I have a good reason: I am no longer the only cook in the house! My daughter has been developing her skills in her catering lessons at school and [...]
Helloooo Monday Peeps! As it's a mere 10 weeks until Christmas 😊🎉🎄🎅 I thought I'd share these cheap and simple crafts with you... The tree on the left is made entirely of buttons hot-glued to some thin card. You arrange green buttons or beads in a triangle and add a yellow one to the top [...]

I wouldn't exactly call this a recipe post (it requires 4 cold ingredients arranged on a plate) but I thought I would share my version. Caprese Salad usually contains Mozzarella, Tomatoes and Basil (layered) [...]
`Happy Windsday Peeps! The title says it all really, I've seen a lot of blogs this week that have recipes for 'sharing' food...y'know, the good stuff that's too big for 1 person but too informal for a proper party; the stuff you'd share with your bestie and produce if the kids brought friends home. 🙂 [...]

I was watching Youtube videos on the subject and they recommended these 'cook once' meals...so you do all the prep one day and eat for several...kind of [...]
Morning Tuesday Peeps! I know lots of people who are on the move at the minute and it's said to be one of the most stressful things we can do. So here are my top tips for keeping it as calm and cheap as possible. Clear out: If you're even thinking about moving, have a [...]
Morning Peeps! Three weeks today is Christmas Eve! So if you have people you want to make gifts for, or kids to entertain, you can have a go at making these little chums!

Afternoon Peeps! Bonus post for you today... I was talking to the teenager about stuff we learned (or tried to learn) last Christmas. I remembered a recipe for Rice Krispie treat trees.... you make them green and cone-shaped and stick them on a Rolo trunk and decorate. Easy as that. 🎄 Then a while ago [...]
