New Year’s Eve – celebration or damp squib
Bizarrely, when we were children, New Year’s Eve was so much more exciting than it is now. Someone in our village used to have a party each year, and lots of families would walk down to theirs, eat lots of…
Top posts of 2013 on the blog and onto 2014
While I’ve done my round up of the year, I thought I should do a post round-up, sharing the top posts of 2013 on Bubbablue and me. It gives me a chance to reminisce and for newer readers to find…
Post baby weight loss
Some people are really lucky and lose their baby weight straight away. Others take the 9 months they recommend (9 months on, 9 months off). Others like me, have to work at it a lot harder to achieve post baby…
Crochet progress – how to crochet an infinity scarf

Round up of 2013 – the good, the bad and the ugly
Nothing like leaving things to the last minute, but I’ve tried to remember sooner than I did last year, about posting my review of the year. There’s been some major changes for us this year with family and work, and…
How to pimp your candles – glitter, paint or otherwise
I’m not really a big candles fan – well, they look pretty, but we don’t really have anywhere to put them in our house, and I don’t burn them so they’re kind of pointless on the whole – but I’ve…
