On Monday evening I headed to London for what I thought would be a lighthearted evening of fun, friends and make-up with Mumsnet's #No7ready event. It was a panel discussion focused around going back to work after having children, whether directly after maternity leave or after several children (the latter being my case). Guest speakers included The infamous Mother Pukka,...
It's Friday...the worst day of the week.
It's Friday today. My instagram, twitter and facebook feeds all tell me I should be celebrating. "Friyay! The end of the week, weekend is on it's way" and all that.
But despite Friday signalling fish and chip day at school, the end of a long and tiring week and, as in today's...

"Haft-seen" Biscuits for Persian new year (norooz)
What a month of celebrations March is. We have D's birthday, followed by Persian / Iranian New year and then Mother's day.
Despite being born and raised in the UK, my mother was always keen on teaching us the traditions like Persian new year when I was growing up. I've tried...
Eleven

After an overindulgence of cake for D's birthday recently, I decided to make a batch of Henrietta Inman's Goji berry cereal bars so that we'd all have healthy treats to snack on this week.
They're brilliant because they are refined-sugar free and this is actually a no-bake recipe...
Thank Goodness for Dolmio to get us through the week!
Although I wasn't speedy enough to be one of the lucky bloggers getting a Dolmio delivery, I always keep a jar of Dolmio in the cupboard for those mid-week meals that need to be quick and easy and still get that all important nutritional goodness into the kids.
The kids are so...
A mother's uniform
From the cryptic title you may be expecting a deep thought-provoking post about how mothers clothe themselves with love and care and always put their children first. Well we do often do that but this post is more literal than that.
Becoming a mum meant I had a wardrobe shift. Where...
Three-tiered surprise on the inside chocolate cake
It is blogposts like this that demonstrate just what a rubbish blogger and baker I am. Because when I'm experimenting in the kitchen, I rarely keep track of exactly what I'm doing and so end up clueless about the exact quantities of the ingredients I've used. A big no-no when it...
