It's been 3-4 weeks since we were declared on official lockdown and the days are slowly beginning to blend into each other. Never would I have anticipated a month ago that I would end up being a stay-at-home-mum. If you find yourself at home with the kids, then this may be even more true for you. With the difficult tasks…
Being stuck indoors during these strange times can put a strain on anyone, both mentally and physically. We’re all trying to find our way and it’s been quite daunting. Before the COVID19 lockdown, I wasn’t really interested in gardening. We moved into our house nearly three years ago and the gardens have remained untouched. I’m also hideously allergic to grass…
Okay, so I have a bit of an obsession with Sculpley Clay and I’m inviting you to join me, particularly with the kids being off for half term as this is a really lovely activity to do with them. It’s one of those activities that’s as exciting to them as painting at home but without the mess if you get my drift!…
Vegetable and Lentil Soup is a great lunchtime option or if you are seeking a light dinner. I love this recipe because you can flex it for any vegetables you have and it's a fab way to clear up any that need to be eaten in the next few days - a great way to reduce your waste and keep…
Easter is usually a time when, as an Italian family, we all get together and celebrate in the best way we know – with good company, lots of great food and our family favourites. However this year, Easter is going to be quite different. The Coronavirus outbreak is keeping our family apart (like many others), but in true Italian fashion,…
It used to be putting your avo toast on the ‘gram. Then it became Pumpkin Spice Lattes. And who could forget the summer of hotdog legs and inflatable flamingo pool rings? Yes, the #BasicBitch trends come and go as frequently as the seasons, and of course this indefinite period of global lockdown has been no different. Baking Banana Bread has…
Hey guys. Hope you're having a great week. Dinner times used to be my least favourite time of the day. I would struggle to think what to make and often ended up doing the same thing all the time. As our family got bigger and food prices continued to rise I realised that I needed to be more organised and…
Are you aware that your drink choices are ever-evolving and are directed by bars, pubs and restaurants keeping your finger on the pulse of the current drinks menu? Consumers continue to expect the brands they engage with to go the extra mile for them, meaning brands have to work harder to establish real connections with customers. So, what should you…
I've been really into finding new healthy food ideas and have also trying to learn about the history of different food ideas throughout the world, either by looking at social media accounts or by watching documentaries. So whilst scrolling through Instagram I came across the page of @EatTravelRock (Kelly Rizzo). On here she had an amazing recipe for an Italian…
It's been almost a year since I’ve moved into my new flat. Although, it is very much a temporary home until we decide to get our mortgage , I have always been a homemaker in every sense of the word and I love homely touches. My flat is mainly off-white walls and laminate floors, boring at face value, but to…
