– Surviving Motherhood since 2012
Seasonal posts from throughout the year, easter/christmas/halloween and all the little holidays in between
So, I’m not going to lie, I’m not a huge proponent of St. Patrick’s Day. I have two kids and although I love the wine, I am not quite able to keep up with the Irish drinking! But, I know quite a few of my readers choose to celebrate the holiday (which is happening tomorrow), so […] Read more…
Try these fudge chocolate pretzel sticks for the perfect party snack I am a lover of a salty and sweet recipe combo and these definitely deliver! Pretzels are pretty diverse and for me are the perfect snack at the moment! I managed to find pretzel rods in Costco for this recipe which are easy to […] Read more…
It is the time of the ugly Christmas sweater and I personally love them! I have several Christmas jumpers that I drag out each year at the beginning of December and parade around in until December the 30th, one is a snowman, one a Christmas squirrel (that notorious Christmas animal) and a Christmas cat (obviously) […] Read more…

Halloween food is always fun and really […] Read more…

Another year is almost done and to be quite honest 2016 has been a mixture for us but I think we will be happy to start a new chapter. Just before this happens we need to get through New Year’s Eve. We aren’t throwing a party this year, instead we are going to see in […] Read more…
Let’s be honest, when you have kids, new years isn’t quite the party it used to be and a lot of us stay in As our little guy gets older though, I like the idea of ringing in the New Year together and this doesn’t mean we can’t stay up and have fun with it and […] Read more…
Stuck for things to buy the geek in your life? Luckily I have got you covered with this last minute geeky gift guide! Something you may not know about our family is that as well as Disney (see our Disney Gift Wishlist for adults here), we love a bit of sci-fi and fantasy, after all […] Read more…
