I’ve written before about my love of books and how I want to pass this trait on to Boo. We joined our local library about a year ago. Even I was impressed. The people who work there are amazing. They love books too and, when they got to know me and what I liked reading, … [Read more…]
Well it is all very exciting at the farm this week. For once, it is not about the animals or our escapades. Next Sunday-4th May, I will be leaving the farm for the day. That’s right-a whole day away. I am attending my first, ever, blogger conference which will be hosted at the Museum of Science and … [Read more…]
So last night, I signed up to the Organix #NoJunk challenge. It is Friday. It starts on Monday and I am yet to do my food shop. Rather than run blindly into the supermarket abyss, I decided I needed to think about this and plan, plan, plan. So… I went to my local library and … [Read more…]
This week’s Word of the Week is…. How boring is that? I have booked next week off as it is Boo’s first full week of mornings in nursery and I am going to decorate her room. Now, as previous posts have stated, while we have only been in the house for two years, I am … [Read more…]
They say an English man’s home is his castle, so when I found out about The Great British Home quiz by Victoria Plumb and BritMums, I had to have a go.

The … [Read more…]
I’ve always wanted to go to the Ideal Home Show. It is held annually in London but, with a small child and a busy farmer, I’ve never been able to get there. So imagine my excitement when I found out it is coming to Manchester. To celebrate the show’s 106th birthday, the organisers found out … [Read more…]
There is one area of life I think we can all agree on. We all spend too much money on food. Is it the supermarket’s fault? I’m not sure but there is just so much choice out there that it is so easy to stray off your shopping list a little and end up going … [Read more…]
In our house, we don’t do chocolate for Easter. I think Boo gets enough chocolatey eggs off other people eggs off other people and I always got a gift rather than chocolate off my parents. As Boo is a winter baby, outdoor, summer toys always seem pointless as a birthday present when snow is usually … [Read more…]
So this week we are getting into our Easter crafts. I saw a brilliant photo on Pinterest of eggs with eyes and little plants growing out of them. I thought it looked amazing so we had to have a go. With loads of chickens, we always have loads of eggs so to find something to … [Read more…]
