Six years ago today, I spent New Year’s Eve in labour to give birth to the first baby born in 2008 at our local hospital. Having rushed to hospital at 11.30ish pm after finally realising the twinges I had been feeling all evening were contractions, I eventually gave birth to my amazing daughter Miss M just after 1am. To see …
Mister B is 3 and Dinosaur Birthday Cake!!
Yesterday was a very special day for my gorgeous little boy Mister B – he turned 3!! We had a fairly normal day with daddy and I working, big sister Miss M at school and Mister B at nursery. As I finish at 1pm on a Wednesday, I picked him up and we went home to enjoy the rest of …
A Week of Highs and Lows!
A week ago Saturday I was really excited to have my mum coming to visit and stay for a whole week. With my family living 250 miles away, we don’t get many opportunities to see each other and when we do it’s usually only for a couple of days. I picked her up off the train with Miss M and …
A very busy but fun Xmas & New Year!!

So when Mister B had a nap yesterday afternoon I agreed we could try out her new ‘Miko Cat Make and Bake Gingerbread Baking Set’. It came in a gorgeous solid cardboard case …
Miss M’s 4th Birthday!! – Princess Castle Cake
So the amazing Miss M was 4 years old on New Year’s day. We actually held her party on New Year’s Eve at a local hall with the main attraction being a pink princess bouncy castle incorporating a slide out of the side (at madam’s request). As usual I made her birthday cake the night before with a vague idea …
