OK, I’m a sucker for cute edible food, especially when chocolate is involved. I made these Chocolate Nest Cupcakes for my daughters 8th birthday party. They are from Annabel Karmel’s Princess Party Cookbook. Shhhhh! Don’t tell Annabel I cheated — I used a cake mix and pre-made icing. Try it for Easter: …
I love visiting the Scottish side of the family. I always get loads of tips. Good tips; the kind you can really use. Like when my mother-in-law showed me how to warm a lemon by rolling in your palms — to make sure you get every last drop when you squeeze it.
My sister in law (SIL) is from Edinburgh. We have a silent agreement — we usually just nod at each other since I don't understand her accent, and she doesn't understand mine. But somehow, when it comes to things like money – and saving money – we instantly understand each other.

It's here! CyberMummy 2010 – a conference devoted solely to mum bloggers and the kinds of thing we want to talk about!
After all the great blogger meet-ups, we wanted more: more networking and more advice and perhaps a bit more wine (or at least biscuits).
So three of us bloggers – Susanna, (me!), Sian (www.mummy-tips.co.uk) and Jennifer (www.alphamummy.com) – have banded together and organised a one-day event where we can share stories, trade tips and learn a few things from experts and each other. The day will have sessions devoted to content, understanding technical things like SEO and working with sponsors.

OK, is it just me? Everytime I pass the loo in this house, there’s, erm, you don’t really need to know the details, but I need to flush. It happens so often that now I have developed AFR (automatic flush response). Please humour me and take this quick survey. Do your kids …
