You might remember a little while ago I reviewed Business Cards from StressFreePrint. Well they were a MASSIVE hit last weekend at Britmums Live, with virtually everyone who took one commenting on how nice they were - and I handed out loads. If you missed it, my full review is here....


I'm delighted to be able to offer one of my readers 500 StressFreePrint business cards as a prize. StressFreePrint will work with you to create your own business cards to your liking, using your own images, logos and information.

A pillow that you fill with water? Really?

When I got the email about Mediflow Pillows I was really intrigued. I didn't want to review a gimmicky thing that was going to be rubbish. I went to look at the Amazon reviews - there are thousands. Not only are there thousands, but they pretty much all said things like "I was sceptical", "Amazing", "Excellent, best night's sleep I've ever had".

It's the best selling pillow on German Amazon, and more than 4 million Mediflow Waterbase Pillows have been sold to date.

Now I don't actually sleep well. I've never slept well. I wake with headaches and I only seem to sleep through if I go to bed shattered. It had to be tried.

My bag is packed, I've mentioned everything I can think of to all my family members and I've launched a 7th giveaway.


Someone's responsible for bringing the bin in, the fridge is stacked, and the 3 oldest ones know exactly when someone should leave to pick up the 2 youngest from pre-school and school.

I'm meeting Red Rose Mummy, My Mummy'sPennies and It Started With A Squish at various times and places along the route, and by lunch I should be in London.

Nervous....oh yeah. I've only left the kids and my partner for one night in the last 6 years, it'll be really weird. Still, I'll be back Sunday and I'm sure while I'm away they'll all be fine - and I will barely have a chance to think of them while I'm meeting some amazing bloggers and listening to some fantastic speakers. Not to mention spending time with some good friends and having maybe the odd tipple and cupcake.

If you're going, say hiya and ask me about Drumond Park  - makers of LOGO, Rapidough and Gross Magic, and also my lovely sponsors. I have 2 live giveaways running at the moment for Don't Laugh! The Electronic Board Game and Pumpaloons - which is fantastic fun indoors or out.

If you aren't going away this weekend - could someone please remind my kids to feed the fish?

On 27th June Titan Magazines will release a brand new comic - Transformers: Age Of Extinction. We've been lucky enough to have a sneak preview and although the recommended age range is 6-12, my 4 and 5 1/2 year old boys think it's brilliant!

I was a bit stumped for my partner's birthday last month, but I knew what to get him for Father's Day - the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 set 21108. He's been following the story of this set since it very first appeared on LEGO Cuuso (now LEGO Ideas). We both voted for it - how could you not? It's genius.


Sadly the Fire House wasn't forthcoming - which we guessed as it would make a really huge set! However we do have the Ecto-1 and the 4 Ghostbusters themselves - Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddmore.

Man-Up Your Meals is the latest recipe book I've been sent from Parragon. Very different to anything I've reviewed from them before, it's a book full of big, hearty recipes, hints and tips. It's also, on the face of it, a very light-hearted, jokey book.


The recipes are graded like a Haynes Manual, ranging from Australopithecus to Human, and around half of the book really is incredibly basic sandwich making and 'how to cook a bit of meat without dying from food poisoning'. Our 16 year old girl is infuriated by it, while I take it as a joke and find it funny. The main reason I take it as a joke is BECAUSE IT'S TRUE!

Pumpaloons has been around for a couple of years now, and it's a fantastic game for the Summer because you can take it outside and play! It's also really excellent for getting everyone up and moving - but you can be as active (and competitive) or calm as you want, so anyone over 4 can play.

Plum Baby and Tots 100 set a challenge to Blogger's younger children to design their own healthy superhero. I put the youngest member of our family, our 4 year old, on to the challenge.

He had strong ideas immediately. He's been talking to a Dentist at school and knows sugar is not healthy. He keeps warning us all to stop adding sugar to our food - whatever we're eating! He also knows that fruit is much better for you than sweets, and is keen to get that message across, so fruit features strongly with his Superhero.

FruitBowl make fruit snacks for children that are a bit different from your usual snack. My children would call them sweets, but they're sweets made from fruit.


We were sent a great selection to try out - Fruit Flakes, Fruit Peelers, Yogurt Raisins and Fruit Shapes.

Last year I was asked to review the Foodies Festival at Tatton Park and although I was looking forward to it, I wasn't sure what to expect. It was brilliant! We took 6 of our children and had a full day out. You can read my full review here.


The range of foods on offer is astounding, and the quality excellent. Last year between us we ate Ribs, Gourmet Burger, Jerk Chicken, Spring Rolls, Thai Noodles and Vegetable Curry! Plus ice cream, cheeses, pickles, brownies and various other samplings...


If you don't have 6 children under 16 with you, then there are workshops and displays all day long where you can watch the experts and learn about new techniques and flavors.


There's a Chefs Theatre and a Drinks Theatre and even a daily Cocktail Competition. There is also a Children's Cookery Theatre - something my children will be very interested in.
