Chocolate Marshmallow Fluff cake….
We have found the most delicious new treat to use in our baking - Marshmallow Fluff.It's basically just spreadable fluffy marshmallow goo but it tastes delicious, and is really versatile - we've used it in cakes, hot chocolate, melted as an ice cream topping, on toast and actually, just eaten off the spoon straight out of the jar.

Is a bit of healthy competition really such a bad thing….
You know that old saying.... It's not the winning that matters, it's the taking part that counts .... Well, if I'm honest, I'm not entirely convinced that it's true - surely a bit of healthy competition is good for children and prepares them for a life which is more than likely going to involve competing with others for something they want at some point.Don't get me wrong, I don't want to teach my children to be ultra competitive little people but I do think that there is a happy medium that will teach them how important it is to not only be a good loser but to learn the even more … [Read more...]
