Toddler Bedroom Transformation – Paw Patrol
You may have already read my blog post on us buying our first house and it being the first time we have had our own house to do up. Well as I already mentioned, it is a new build so everything was white/cream and bare when we moved in. We have been slowly putting our own stamp on each room and one of the rooms that really bugged me was our little man’s room. He used to have a lovely little nursery in his old house even though it was rented and just all cream, but with his furniture and bedding it all looked nice and worked together. When we…

Have Fun This Summer Holiday Without Breaking The Bank 2016
The Summer holidays for kids means no school for 6 weeks and lotsss of fun. However it can be quite stressful for us parents, as it can mean expensive trips out and always trying to think of lots of things to do. The top attractions can be ridiculously expensive and aside from your local freebies/cheap days out such as parks, museums and farms it really can be difficult to come up with other ideas. I have put together another list this year of fun things that should be available to most people depending on where they live and how far you can travel. Some great ways to go to some of the best attractions…

ThaiKhun at Intu Metro Centre Review
The Intu Metro Centre is a huge local shopping mall in Gateshead that has lots of shops, restaurants and entertainment including an IMAX ODEON cinema. You can read more about the shopping centre in a blog post here. They are always introducing new shops and restaurants to the centre and I decided to visit last month after hearing a lot of new places to eat had opened up. One new restaurant in particular caught my eye, called Thaikhun and after reading the menu and having a little peak inside at the decor I just had to try it out. I went for the first time with my mum whilst on…

PokemonGO – Are You Sitting on a GO-ld Mine?
You may have heard recently of a new app/game called PokemonGO which already has a lot of people completely hooked. For those of you who don’t know, it basically has you out trying to catch Pokemon, using your phone. You can see on a map when there are Pokemon nearby and people will travel and drive all over to catch them. When you come in close contact with one on the map, you can use your camera to ‘see it’ and attempt to catch it. Although it might seem like a rather pointless game it is getting people moving which I guess is a good thing. It’s feeling like the…

ShopaholicUK.com – Monroe Lace Midi & Beatriz Co-ord Review
If you haven’t already checked out my other blog post about Shopaholic UK yet and their fantastic bandage dresses then make sure to have a read of my other post here. You will see that I am a huge fan of them and was absolutely delighted to be given the opportunity to review for them again. Waiting for the items to arrive, I was like a little child at Christmas. I decided to choose two very different items from last time to show the range and choice of what they had to offer. It was a very difficult task trying to choose just two, I remember having about 5 people involved in the…

25 Years Young! But Feeling Old!
Last week was my Birthday. It was a crazy busy week, especially as it was my Birthday, My dad’s 50th and also a big event that my mum’s company was organising. I barely had time to fit my little Birthday in, but that didn’t mean my Mr hadn’t put the effort in. Starting the day before on the Sunday baking with my two boys and making my Birthday cake and cookies. On my actual Birthday had also organised a lovely day for me starting with breakfast and fizz in bed, afternoon tea at Patisserie Valerie in Durham and then a meal at one of my favourite restaurants, Fat Buddah on…
