I was sent a copy of Cut the Crap and Feel Amazing by Ailsa Frank for review. Having heard a couple of people mention the book recently, I was really eager to get my hands on it. This is one of those Ronseal books – it does exactly what it says Read more…
Anyone who has been following my social media channels of late will know that I’ve become a bit evangelical in my pursuit of the sugar free life. Having half-arsed my attempts at removing sugar from my life for several years, I read That Sugar Book last month, and it was Read more…
We were sent a copy of Spot the Lamb on the Farm for review, which was nice for S, since she really loves books! This is one of a series of books where you have to find something, including a robot, a dinosaur and a monkey. I chose the lamb one Read more…
Pan Macmillan sent me a copy of That Sugar Book for review. This book is the tie-in to a film, That Sugar Film which is due to arrive here in the UK towards the end of April. Damon Gameau decided to conduct a Super Size Me-type experiment to illustrate just how bad sugar is Read more…
I was really excited to be sent a copy of The Ice Twins by Mumsnet for review, not least because it came with a cute little bag containing a tealight candle, a Kit Kat and a camomile tea bag! The Moorcrofts were a happy, middle class couple with beautiful, happy, Read more…
Last year, I reviewed Sarah Ockwell Smith’s Toddlercalm. It’s an amazing book which I would recommend to all parents with toddlers. When I heard she’d written a book about sleep for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers, I was really excited. When you mention that your child has any sort of issue Read more…
Last week, I reviewed Davina McCall’s new fitness dvd. When I was sent it, I was about to embark on a month-long health and fitness challenge. When I found out Davina also had a book out, I thought I would give that a go too! The book is called Davina’s Read more…
I was very lucky to be sent a copy of The Book of You by Claire Kendal to review by Mumsnet. I had never heard of the author before, and had no idea what the book was about. I started off thinking “right, better get started on this so that I Read more…
I’m reviewing this book because I think it’s awesome – and frankly I am shocked that more parents aren’t aware of it. I bought a copy of Don’t Put Your Finger In The Jelly, Nelly by Nick Sharratt for S for Christmas, and she absolutely loves it – as I Read more…
The lovely people at Aveeno sent S and I a book and some Aveeno products to try out. We love Aveeno; this time we were sent some bath & shower gel to try out, which was a real treat. They also sent us a copy of this book by Penelope Read more…
Last week I reviewed Far From the Tree by Andrew Solomon. In my review I mentioned that while reading that book, I spent a lot of time Googling things and buying related books. This is one of those books: As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Read more…
I started reading Far From The Tree by Andrew Solomon months ago… literally. It’s taken me ages to read – but that’s more down to the fact of my moving house and having been stupidly busy and lazy lately. This book is quite large, and therefore not very transportable – it’s Read more…
I’ve been interested in the concept of giving up sugar for years… ten years, to be precise. I know that I have a real issue with the amount of sugar in my diet; I know I need to do something about that, sooner rather than later. I follow Sarah Wilson on Read more…
I was sent a copy of My Underpants Rule to review. I thought it was about a pair of underpants that are so cool, they rule (sort of thing) but it’s not; it’s actually about a rule for underpants. Child sexual abuse has been in the news a lot lately Read more…
I’m sure most of you will remember a vague outline of the story of Jaycee Dugard. She was kidnapped one morning aged eleven on her way to school, and nothing was ever heard of her… until 18 years later, when she reappeared, the mother of two daughters. She had been Read more…
I was sent a copy of The Judas Scar as part of the BritMums Book Club. Luckily enough, it arrived the day before I left for Brit Mums Live so I took it with me to read on the train. Imagine my joy then, when I got to the venue Read more…
