Everyone loves sausages right? They are one of the few things I can guarantee that Toby and Gabe will eat! Actually though, I’m not a big fan of pork sausages so I usually have chicken sausages that my mum gets from her local butchers – they only make them once a week though, and often sell out. So when I was invited to the launch of the new Richmond chicken sausages I was keen to see if they could compete with the ones I usually get, and with the added bonus of being able to just pick them up in the supermarket!

I can’t believe it’s time for another Siblings post already. I said last month that not much had changed between Toby and Gabe and this month is more of the same. They still love each other like nothing on earth, and still spend half their time fighting and squabbling. Read more
As some of you may know before I had Gabe I was working as a Modern Languages teacher – I taught French and Spanish in secondary schools before we moved back to the north west from Scotland. Had we stayed in Scotland I probably would have gone back to work after my maternity leave finished when Gabe was one. But moving house changed things, and we’re now two years on and I still haven’t gone back to teaching. It’s seems it’s time to make a decision. Read more
Crikey, 20 weeks through the year already! The last few months just seem to have flown by, it’s only a couple of weeks to half term now, and after that we’ll be on the countdown to the summer holidays! At least the weather seems to have been getting a bit more summery lately too! Read more

Our feet are, quite literally, the foundation of our everyday life. But far too often, we’ll take them for granted – that is until we develop blisters, sores, unexplained pains or, heaven-forbid, a bunion or two!
But it’s really easy to take care of these precious assets (regardless of how ET-like your toes may be!).
So, here are some top tips on how you can keep your feet looking and feeling great: Read more
OK, OK, I know we’re almost a third of the way through May already (and I’m always late with these posts) but I’ve only just got round to writing this post about my likes and loves from April. It was a super busy month for us with lots of trips away which meant lots of things for me to like! Read more

They say a workman is only as good as his, or her, tools, and this is no less true than when you’re doing work around your home and garden.
From choosing the right footwear to arming yourself with all the right equipment, this must-have list of tools should have you finding yourself well on your way to DIY perfection – in the home and garden. Having lived on my own for 8 years before I met Barry I amassed quite a collection of DIY and gardening equipment but if you’re just starting out in your own home then this is the list for you!

Well after last weekend when we didn’t have the best of times this last week has been much calmer. Gabe went into preschool without any tears all week and Toby had a happy week at school too. Both boys had good swimming lessons too so it’s been a much better week all round really. Read more
Last year, just after my 39th birthday I decided I had had enough of being overweight, unfit, tired and generally pretty fed up with my body and how I felt about myself. I even wrote a poem about it! I’ve been writing various updates about my ‘Fit by 40’ mission for the last year, and so with just 23 days until the big 4-0 I thought I’d give you another little update about where I’m at just now.
