I love making blankets and I was thrilled to hear my niece was expecting a new baby. So of course I got out my hook and made her a baby blanket. I found the pattern in a booklet from Simply Crochet Magazine. Baby Banket baby blanket in blue The pattern was worked in squares which… Continue reading Crochet – Baby Blanket
Last weeks meal plan went pretty well. Apart from swapping the days around a little, we had everything on the list...and no take outs! This week I'm writing this on Sunday despite getting the shopping early and starting it on Saturday. And guess what? I'm starting with a take out! So, annoyed. I was really… Continue reading This Weeks Meal Plan
Last week didn't go to plan. We had the Pizza and the hot dog sausage rolls, we also managed a past dish, but it was not on the days I suggested...and...slapped wrists for me..we had two take outs. To be fair it was a difficult week, after my hospital appointment I just wanted to sleep,… Continue reading This Weeks Meal Plan

Meal Planning I haven't done a meal plan here in a little while because I was doing it on Monday after the shopping had arrived and it seemed disadvantageous. I do my weekly shop online on Sunday, so now I'm planning earlier so I know what I want to buy, rather than what I'm going… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan
I've not tried to crochet an item of clothing before but I thought this jumper looked fun and easy to make. It's a nice baggy style which is how I like my jumpers and I loved the wool chosen. It was Stylecraft Life dK in Silver Nepp. It has lovely flecks of colours throughout. I… Continue reading I Made My First Jumper – Just in time for summer!
My children love tactile things like slime or squishies. We have spent many an hour destroying having fun in the kitchen making our own slime. But when the disasters became too unbearable we went on to buying stuff instead. Now you may think this is an easy task, most stores sell some sort of slime… Continue reading The Squishy Things in Life
