Keeping safe in the kitchen

April 18, 2017

We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, cooking from scratch every day, as well as baking bread and cakes. My kiddos LOVE to help bake, and one thing I’ve always been really conscious about is making sure they know how to keep safe in the kitchen. We all remember to tell them things...

April 17, 2017

Travelling to Las Vegas with children is an idea has been intriguing me. I have family in California and Arizona, and would love to combine a trip to visit them with a trip to the bright lights! I’ve been having a look around the web to see which Vegas hotels I would like to stay in...

A family meal plan for a month
