Morning Mayhem Rap Battle...

Recently I reviewed the Limited Edition Weetabix Strawberry which is helping to raise money for Comic Relief.....5 pence from every pack is going to help change the lives of poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the UK and across Africa....

The former Spice Girl Mel B is swapping the judging table for the breakfast table and to help Weetabix celebrate their partnership with Comic Relief and to to raise awareness of the Weetabix Pick Your Nose fundraising campaign...


 The two minute video will bring a smile to your faces as Mel battles against kids about the daily morning struggle of getting the family dressed, fed and out the door in time for school. Morning Mayhem is based on real consumer insights, crowd sourced from mums and dads about the stressful but hilarious things that happen at breakfast time. The lyrics tackle everything from the desire to go to school "dressed as a unicorn" to the refusal to eat breakfast with a spoon.


I can definitely relate....Can you?

Fun Fact: The Morning Mayhem rap was recorded a Strongrooms Studios in Shoreditch – the very same studio where Spice Girls' 1996 iconic hit Wannabe was recorded...

Valentine Printables from Wayfair!

Valentines day isn't just for couples....It can be to celebrate all kinds of love....The romantic love with our sweethearts as well as the love we share with our families and friends....

Wayfair are offering free Valentine printables and these are some of my favourites....

I will be printing out the gift tags.....They're so pretty. 


Ellie has said quite a few times over the last few weeks she wants to make her own cards ( I have no idea who she's planning to send them too though....hehehe) so I think the printable cards will be ideal for her to colour in....They are very cute!!


I am planning to bake some cupcakes for Stu and the The only thing better than a cupcake on Valentine's Day is a cupcake with a flag on top! There is several cupcake flags to choose from or if you've got a litttle more the say, spell out your own personalized message with our homemade bunting Such a sweet idea....

 There is lots more ideas over on Wayfair's website
including more labels for food and drink plus little date night cards that you can cut out and plan a year of romantic rendezvous together....

Have you any plans for Valentines day?

Well and truly caught out....

This is the face of guilt....I was in the kitchen cooking tea. 
She was supposed to be doing her homework not playing Minecraft!!
I came in and sat down.....She was in her own little world until I shouted Becky.....

She was well and truly caught out.....hehehe

Old El Paso Range - Review!!

On Saturday we made a change to our meal plan....The hot dogs were scrapped and with a little help from Old El Paso we had some very tasty fajitas....



To make the Fajitas it was just a case of adding the Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Fajita Seasoning Mix to the peppers, onions and chicken strips....

When I first opened the packet the mix smelt so spicy but when it was mixed with everything it was just right.....Spicy but not too hot for the kids.....

The fajita mix was served wrapped in the Flour Tortillas for the kids and I and Stu had some of the Wholewheat Tortillas....Both of the different wraps were very soft and very tasty....Usually when I buy wraps they I get the bigger one's and I thought these would be too small but they were actually just the right size....


On the side we had the Squeezy Sweetcorn Relish which tastes a lot better than it looks....It is the first time I've tried this and I liked it....I imagine it going so well with burgers too in the summer.....

Everything went down well and the kids especially loved them.....


The only thing we never really tried was the Hot and sweet Red Jalapenos....I opened them and took a little bite (BIG mistake!!) They are Hot!! They are not to be eaten by themselves.....lol Even the juice in the jar makes your tongue tingle....I will find a use for them though.....

I will be buying and using these products again....They will be perfect when we are short on time on an evening and want something quick to eat.....I have just checked on Tesco online and the Fajita mix is only 89 pence....I thought it would be much more.....Great stuff!!
Family Fever
We were sent a selection of Old El Paso products free of charge to try...This is my honest review....All thoughts and opinions are our own...
