Things I discovered: February 2014

Ooh look at me - managing to join in with two linky's in one evening having just posted my Word of the Week, here I am joining in with Everyone Else is Normal's Things I discovered linky again. I am finding that I'm looking forward to this each month and I love trying to think of...

Word of the Week: Flourish

I've seen this linky popping up on everyone's blogs each week for a while now and have been meaning to join in but somehow never seem to find the time! Even after a reminder tweet to me last week from The Reading Residence, I still didn't get around to it (naughty me - slapped...

Kids in the Kitchen - Chocolate Fondue!

It was lovely to see the recipes linked up with this fantastic linky over at Raisie Bay last week. We have found it really encourages us to get cooking with the kids more often. All too often it seems easier and quicker to just get on with the cooking ourselves, but now when I...

Kiss Me First - a mumsnet book club book review

I have been trying to read a bit more myself since the kids returned to school after their time of homeschooling. So I was really happy when Mumsnet book club offered me the chance to review the new book Kiss me first by Lottie Moggach. The only problem was that it was...

Kids in the kitchen - Miss T makes toad in the hole

Once again we are linking up with Raisie Bays lovely linky 'Kids in the Kitchen'. Last week little Miss T showed that you are never too young to start cooking when she helped make Valentines cookies. I promised that we'd be trying something savoury this week so once again Miss...
