When we were in lockdown last year I tried to think of as many different things as possible to brighten our days and celebrate the small things.

These little treats are easy and fun to make and are great for a children’s Christmas party or to make at home with your kids. They don’t involve any baking, and just one pan which children can do under supervision. The idea came from FoodFanatic.com but I adapted it a little. Melt 100g butter in... Continue Reading →

They aren’t cheap – usually £20-£25 – but for several years pre-parenthood, I got my husband the Lego Star Wars advent calendar and he got me some sort of beauty advent... Continue Reading →
