The Stakes, Ben Sanders : Book Review
Whilst Ben Sanders has written 4 books previous to this, this is the first book from this author that I have read. Whilst I generally prefer books that aren’t so action focussed, I do sometimes enjoy the more Lee Child or Harlan Coben action infused crime novels, and I will readily agree that this book kept me entertained from the get go. The Stakes is a fast paced, suspenseful novel that keeps you reading from page 1. I felt some of the twists were predictable, however, this did not stop me reading as fast as I could, and I’m happy to recommend this book to anyone who loves a…

MudMates Swim Bag Review
I love almost everything about summer! The long days of sunshine, the warmth, the easy bbq dinners – the list can go on and on 😃 There are some things though I could do without – in particular, school summer sports 😥 It’s not that I don’t like my kids getting out there and tiring themselves out 😝, but it’s the endless nagging that comes with kids taking more stuff to school.

BabyBanz Noise Reducing Earmuffs Review
Ever since I first met DH, we had a mutual interest in flying & planes – in particular WW2 era warbirds. There is really nothing quite like sitting at our favourite spot at Ardmore, drinking coffee, listening & watching the planes go out & around. If we’re lucky we often got to see the WW2 era warbirds going out on flights. Fast forward a decade, or so 😝, and we’ve definitely passed on this interest to both our kids. I still remember the first time my son saw a plane take off and the look of utter amazement on his face. His favourite plane has always been the yellow Harvard…

6 Tried & Tested Ways to Soothe a Child’s Cough
Eventually you get to a stage in your adult life, where you can say, great I’ve had every cold there is and I’ve gained immunity so I should get only one a year (if that). That is, until you have kids! In order for them to build up their immunity they, of course, will pick up EVERY cold & cough known to man! Well it sure feels that way! Which usually means you might too 😞 Unfortunately for my kids, they seem to have picked up my ability to keep the cough way after the cold is done. If you’re that mum who is being driven crazy by…
