The area of North London I live in is pretty much perfect for life as a mother: full of baby-friendly cafes, restaurants and parks. When I don’t have anything particular planned and it is a dry day, I pack Ioan up in his pram and head out to Muswell Hill or Crouch End for a […]

Working with Froothie to #Jumpstart17
This post contains affiliate links I do love a piece of kitchen gadgetry, but having the money and room for lots of pieces of kit means I cannot indulge in new toys as much as I would like. Andrew usually treats me to gifts for the kitchen for Christmas and birthdays, because he knows that […]
Week 5 2017 – eating wisely, but not well, at the MaE Deli (review)
My lovely friend Jo and I have a tradition of treating each other to a birthday meal each year. Unfortunately for Jo, her birthday falls in early January, when she – and everyone else – is trying to eat a bit more virtuously, so we generally choose a restaurant that allows some healthy-ish options.

Bubba Gumps – an … experience (review)
Bubba Gumps, for those of you who don’t know, is a chain of Forrest Gump themed restaurants. I first came across one at the airport in Cancun, although they are all over the States too, and my brother noticed that one had opened in Piccadilly Circus which he loved the idea of going to, so […]
Chef’s table on Netflix – review
A few days ago I received an email asking if I’d like to review a new series on Netflix called ‘Chef’s Table’. The six episode series is due to launch on 26 April (as with all Netflix series, the whole batch of episodes launches at the same time), but I would be able to access […]
What I tried recently – including a Jack Links meat snacks 50p discount
Once again I’ve had a few products sent to me to share with you, so here’s a little round up. Although they have been sent to me for free, my reviews are as always completely honest. Jack Links meat snacks I wasn’t entirely convinced I’d like this meat snack, as I assumed it was a type […]
