When I found out that the lovely Notsosinglemum was holding a Nutella Carnival I realised I had two choices. I could make the Slimming World version of Ferrero Rocher that she so kindly e mailed me about or should I go wild and make the homemade Nutella cookies recipe that I've been dying to try out. You would think I went for the Slimming World recipe wouldn't you seeing as I am taking part in notSupermum's Big Momma Challenge, however, you would be wrong! My entry to the Nutella Carnival is homemade Nutella Cookies:Ingredients 3 1/2 tablespoons of Nutella 50g sugar 3 tablespoons … [Read more...]

My Wedding Day (on a budget)….
We've just seen the most beautiful horse and carriage go past our window, all done up with white and pink flowers and looking as though it was on its way to collecting a blushing bride and take her to one of the most special days in her life.It made me think about my wedding day (not that we had a horse and carriage) and I decided to hunt out some of my wedding photos to show you....Our wedding was a bit of a last minute thing, we'd been together for almost five years and were trying to decide what to do for our fifth anniversary - we were thinking of a night away or a nice meal … [Read more...]
Legoland Discovery Centre….
Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know that over the past few weeks we've had more family days out than you would think possible! Our best day by far was last Saturday when we visited the Legoland Discovery Centre at the Trafford Centre in Manchester.We were welcomed Professor Brick who taught us how you make Lego using his special machines (and with a bit of help from the kids) in his Lego factory which reminded me of Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory without the chocolate ;-).We had a quick walk though Miniland which looked fantastic although we didn't really get to spend much … [Read more...]

Anyway, tonight we decided to have a bit of a family games night and play a few of our home made games,we played with the Story Cards and the Razzle Dazzle game but the kids decided … [Read more...]
