Easter Fun
Now that I am an adult, Easter usually just seems a bit of a pain in the butt rather than something to look forward to. Whilst I love how excited my little guy gets and the fact that it’s the first year he has known what the Easter Bunny is, it’s just more money and lot of chocolate which sucks when you are trying to lose weight! I wanted to try do something fun however and actually turn it in to a nice weekend and quite quickly our laid back weekend ended up being quite a busy one. Friday was just spent doing things in the house, nothing special really…

Date Night At Thaikhun
If you have been following me for a while you will already know just how much I love and rave about Thaikhun. You may have even seen my previous review of when I went with the family for the launch of their new Children’s menu. So I have reviewed how great it is to go as a family, but this time we had the rare opportunity to go there for a date night, just the two of us. This meant I even got to have a cocktail…or two and we could relax, take our time and enjoy stuffing our faces. For those of you who don’t know, Thaikhun (meaning ‘your’…

My Top 5 Contour Palettes
I can’t believe I used to live my life without contouring. Some people may eye roll at that and think, why are people always trying to change their face? But the thing is, I am not one of those people that contours the crap out of my face, it’s more of a natural contour that I do that just makes my face look glowy and have a little more shape. I spend literally 5 minutes applying my makeup each morning (it’s impossible to take any longer with a 3 year old). So it’s not like I am doing it ‘properly’ I guess, but I have noticed how much nicer my makeup…

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…
