Is My Toddler Active Enough?
I always worry about whether my toddler is getting enough exercise and fresh air. It really makes you think, with over 1,000 children being referred to hospital as a result of obesity, and 1 in 3 children between the ages of 2 and 10 being overweight, it really is a terrifying reality that should not be the case. Reid is such a big eater so I worry about him gaining too much weight. Up until now his weight has increased at a very steady pace and he is a healthy and happy little boy, which is great. Things, however, can quickly change if you don’t act whilst they are young.…

6 Amazing Home Items On My Wishlist
When I buy electrical items/appliances for the home now, I tend to look for the wireless/WiFi options. As a full time mum to a toddler and a full time blogger, anything that makes my life easier is very much appreciated. Being a blogger means constantly using a laptop, mobile, tablet, camera, printer and being a mum means having to watch my little one around all of these things. I struggle as it is to get the house work done and having to regularly hoover up mess for example can be a huge chore when having to set up and plug in the vacuum cleaner every time. Simple things like listening…

Legendary Sunday Dinners at Revolution!
I was invited to attend the launch day of the new Sunday dinner menu at Revolution in Newcastle. I was quite excited about this for a few reasons. The first being that I was looking forward to a great big Sunday dinner (minus the washing up). The second was because Revolution is quite special to myself and Sie. It is where we actually met for the first time, when he was a bar manager there many years ago. Any chance to go back there is obviously great for us and it was nice to be going in with our son, who wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t have bumped in to each…

Becoming a mummy – The Blog Post I Never Published
I have been writing this blog post, since I basically had my son 3 years ago. It has taken me so long to write it because I just couldn’t find the words I wanted to say, and I also never felt completely confident to post it. Why I decided now was the right time,I really don’t know. I think seeing a few stories recently by other mums has inspired me to just finally post this! Most people when they talk about becoming a mum and how it affected them mentally think about this overwhelming love, and a need to protect your baby that develops. They talk about being emotional and…

2017…So Far
Yes we are only in to the first few weeks of 2017 but I feel so much has happened already. I totally wasn’t ready for the Christmas period to be over and to get back to reality but it had to happen eventually! 2016 really wasn’t my favourite year however there were lots of amazing things that did happen. The main event was getting engaged to the father of my beautiful boy whilst the two of us were away in Milan. Our trip to Milan was one I had won that year so I really did have some amazing things happen when I look back. I don’t really want to look…

Celebrating New Years Eve In Style
Some of you may have seen my brief live video of me on New Years eve. You may be thinking I have gone mad after seeing that video but it was actually a brilliant night! Normally I don’t do much for New Years Eve and my parents usually have a big party at theirs with lots of alcohol and food. With having Reid now and him being at a fun age we wanted to do something he would enjoy too. After having his 3rd Birthday party at Planet Leisure end of October, we absolutely loved the place and were excited to find out about their New Years party. The tickets…
