Targus Newport 15″ Laptop Backpack
The search is over, I have found THE perfect backpack. The Targus Newport Navy Backpack is the ultimate travel, laptop and every day bag that will suit any lifestyle. Whether you are a busy working mother, a student or a stay-at-home mum who craves a little luxury when out and about. Since becoming a mum I thought my days of pretty handbags and stylish backpacks were over, I was doomed to a life of chunky unattractive Changing Bags to accommodate nappies, wipes, snack, clothes and all the other parent paraphernalia that goes along with having children. Yes, I did buy a changing bag when the children were little but I…

Mum’s Crock-Pot Pulled BBQ Chicken Recipe
Mum’s Slow Cooked Pulled BBQ Chicken – what a mouthful, and it really was! I’ve been trying out some new slow cooker recipes as I love the convenience of putting ingredients into the slow cooker, switching it on and letting it do the work. When Crock-Pot got in touch to see if I wanted to review the Crock-Pot Lift & Serve Digital Slow Cooker, I was very excited. I’m a busy mum of 2, running a household, dashing here there and everywhere, I just don’t have the energy to faff about in the kitchen making fancy meals. Today I’m sharing my really easy peasy, minimal no effort Pulled BBQ Chicken.…

Weekend Adventures – Driving Lesson & Mother’s Day
My weekend kick started on Friday night, I went out for dinner with a couple of my mummy friends. It was lovely to have a chit chat out of the playground, enjoy a glass (or two) or wine and munch on our dinner without having to share our food or entertain little people. Saturday I know I moan about the weather a lot but, I am so ridiculously fed up with the miserable rain and dull days we have at the moment. They do nothing for my mood, I don’t want to leave the house and I’ve got frizzy hair all the time – grrrrr! Anyway, it was pouring down…

Mummy, But A New Me
They say motherhood changes you and I absolutely agree. Since becoming a mum I have become a better version of me and I’m starting to enter a new stage of parenthood. During the early years I had no idea what the heck I was doing, I would read books, listen to friends advice and copy other mums. But nothing can prepare you for raising your own child, I was putting all these silly things into place because I thought I had to, I thought by this stage I should be doing this and my baby should be doing that, ugh! Looking back I really wish I just listened to my…

It Has Been Amazing!
I’m sat here with the gorgeous sun shining in the blue sky, you would think it was around 3pm it is not it is 7pm. I am so happy that we have entered into spring but I’m not happy that we have lost an hour and on Mother’s Day of all days. However, I have had the most amazing day. It has probably been the best Mother’s Day since becoming a mum. I started the day at 7am (6am really) with my little Charlie Bear, I left Mr K and Amelie snoozing, when they woke I was greeted with beaming little faces from the children they were so excited to say…
