I can’t think of many people who enjoy weighing themselves after they have had a baby. After my smug post about loosing weight in pregnancy, the night feeds got to me and I have put a stone of what I lost back on. Oops. I am back on it though and will be trying…
We love horses here at the farm and I would like to encourage Boo to get into horses through playing horse games as I think looking after animals is good for children. After all, surely a girl who likes horses is less likely to get into boys right? That is my hope, anyway. I can…
I find most of my crafting at the moment takes place with Boo but before children, there was nothing I liked better than to sit and do something crafty in an evening. It is worth remembering that places like Baker Ross, while aimed at children in the main, also provide a lot of equipment for…
Recently, I was sent a lovely breakfast set from Flahavan’s to make my own perfect porridge. Always trying to think ahead, I came up with this recipe so it would make a few meals. It can be served not only as breakfast or brunch but at any time of the day. We had it for…
It’s a clichéd saying that babies don’t come with manuals and believe me, even looking after a baby second time round still has me stumped sometimes. I think it’s definitely a mum thing to doubt yourself all the time. Once you think you’ve cracked the whole baby thing though and you start, just start to…
So #LambingLive2015 is in full swing and I thought I’d share with you a day-in-the life or a sheep farmer.* So to begin the ewes are in a field, slightly away from the farm so, we have to load them onto the trailer to bring them nearer the house. Once here, we leave them to…
Babies. Try as I may, I just can’t work out the travelling-light malarkey. How do other people do it? After having two changing bags snap when Boo was a baby, this time, I decided to opt for size. In doing so however, I had to totally disregard style. This was until I was contacted by…
I have always loved shoes. One of my earliest memories is playing shoe shop at my grandmother’s house and trying on all her shoes. Indeed, only recently, my mum’s friend revealed she had been in my bedroom when I was in my early 20s and still lived at home and thought my room looked like…
Regular readers will know I am a big advocate of natural products. As a farmer’s wife, I also like to use products that are British and support British businesses. Now on the surface, you wouldn’t think this sound-bite would marry well with beauty products but this is where you would be wrong. You see,…
I’ve always liked the idea of magnetic chalkboards, having seen them in magazines. I’ve seen examples on doors, in kids rooms, as wall stencils and I’ve loved them all. I have had a go before but had to buy separate magnetic paint and chalkboard paint to create the effect. Thankfully, Rust-Oleum has come up…
