Our Easter Holidays Made Better With Cake!

We all know that life is better with cake and you know that I love to bake a good old cake! However sometimes it is easier, especially in the holidays, to let someone else do the hard work. This Easter break Mr Kipling did the baking for me!

These little ready made, ready decorated treats are so handy to keep in for any trips out with the kiddies. I simply popped one in a hand held tub and they were ready to go!

Simoney Badges For BritMums Live 2015

This year I am excited to be attending the BritMums Live blogging conference in London. The event is the biggest bloggers conference of the year and is held over two days.

When I was approached by Simoney Badges asking me if I would like a personalised badge for the event I excitedly said yes please!

The designers at Simoney were extremely helpful and were even able to take my header pictures and apply them to my own personalised Hijacked By Twins badge. When they had completed the design I was sent a draft with three different layout designs. Once I had selected the design that was right for me I waited to see the end product. Luckily I did not have long to wait, within a week the badge arrived. When I saw the badge I was over the moon and will be proud to wear it on the day.

I was also sent a selection of other badges that Simoney Badges supply. Whatever the occasion they have a badge for it. Simoney Badges offer a wide range of products including:

• Badges
• Name Badges
• School Badges
• Lanyards
• Stickers
• Keyrings
• Magnets
• Mugs
• Pens and Pencils

So next time you need a badge or any other promotional products I would recommend taking a look at Simoney Badges.

Birds Eye #AfterSchoolChefs Challenge

Now that the children are back to school life gets back into a routine. However as all parents will know, the routine can be more rushed and leave us less time to get everything done.

This can include meal times.

I believe that meal times should not be rushed, they should be a time when everyone gets together around the table and shares their days activities.

To make sure I am prepared during the week I like to meal plan. This means that each day I know what we are going to be enjoying and therefore I do not have the stress of not knowing what to cook. However we all know that sometimes life just gets in the way and not everything can run to plan. That is where Birds Eye frozen foods come in.

They are perfect to keep in the fridge for times when you need a quick easy tea as the children need picking up from an after school class, or you simply do not have time to make a meal from scratch because you have been busy helping with homework.

You know that with Birds Eye everyone is going to get the nutritional goodness that we all need. They had a wide variety of frozen vegetables which come in a handy zip lock bag, at last a bag of frozen peas that do not go all over! The children will love the shaped potatoes and how the pies look like a lions head once cooked.

Bird Eye meals are not only good for evening meals, they are also great for smaller children to have at lunch time. They will provide them plenty of energy to keep running round until the older ones come home!

There really is something for everyone from Birds Eye. They sell pies, fish, vegetables, chicken, burgers, potatoes, even rice, they really do have a wide variety to choose from.
