I had a Mum’s Day Off and it was fabulous. #MomsDayOffContest

When Crocs got in touch a few weeks ago and asked if I was interested in taking a day off for their #MomsDayOffContest campaign, I’ll admit I was a bit surprised – usually brands want to me to do work for them, not bunk off completely. But who was I to argue?   So I checked the weather forecast, and on Wednesday I headed out for a solo adventure. And I felt ridiculously free – I simply cannot remember the last...

Vileda’s new Superhero campaign – win the whole team!

I’m sure regular readers will remember the infamous steam mop vs chicken-poo-dog-vomit  battle from a few months back. Yes – it’s seared on my brain too – and before you ask, the carpets are absolutely FINE now.

Fancy a 2-in-1 tablet? We’ve tried the Venturer BravoWin

Most families now seem to have at least one tablet that the kids have access too – a lot of kids also have their own, of course. And tablets are pretty awesome – I completely denied they had any use for a few years when the iPad first came out, and predicted an early demise – what a stupidly unnecessary bit of kit, why do we need a tablet when we have a computer at home? Silly me. My iMac is on all day every day...

Rapid Rashers? THIS IS DANEPAK SERIOUS. #SeriousBaconClub

We Brits do love our bacon, don’t we? Naturally there’s always the hotly debated question of ketchup vs brown sauce… but I think we can all agree that white bread is necessary for a bacon sandwich, right? (Ssssh. I love brown bread – but just not with bacon. And frankly I don’t want to hear from you if you think otherwise) Bacon is simply a staple on every household’s shopping list (vegetarians...

WIN a £65 set of Letts 11+ practice workbooks TODAY! #Revision

And so here we are at the end of the week – and Day 7 is all about the 11+. Yes, I know, for some of you this one’s not relevant – for others it’s a massively big deal. I grew up in Essex, and passed my 11+ to get to the local Girls Grammar (which I admit I loved every minute of).   (And whether your child is sitting their 11+ this Autumn or not, these are a brilliant set of practice workbooks for any...
