EASY VEGETABLE FRIED RICE

October 4, 2018 38 Comments

Hi There,

As a busy mum, I try to figure out what is the quickest and fastest meal I can be able to prepare and still make time for my almost 6 month old and 5 year old. Now, I don’t really make fast meals everyday but there are days when I literally can’t think of anything else to cook without it having too many steps. So when that time comes, my easy vegetable fried rice hits the spot and is ready in minutes compared to my beef pilau recipe or the salmon fish cakes. Also my son really loves it and always eats it with a side of oven baked salmon which will come next on the blog later on. Today, we will be focusing on the fried rice part. So, you will need:

LOVING THE ALDI LACURA SKINCARE PRODUCTS AND WHY YOU SHOULD TOO

October 2, 2018 32 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited for this post today, I hope you’re all doing great and had a lovely weekend. Speaking of the weekend, I went for my usual grocery shopping in aldi and after lots of rummaging through all those baskets and trying to find where the special buys are, I ended up finding some skincare products which to be honest, really looked good. I am sure you have all heard about the Lacura brand in aldi and how some end up selling out, that’s why I am loving the aldi lacura skincare products and why you should too. Also, I think I found a Pixi glow tonic dupe that I am very excited about and it’s way cheaper than the original. Make sure to also check out my top beauty products and tell me what you think.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SWADDLE

August 13, 2018 33 Comments

Hey there,

So baby boy is almost 4 months old and oh my has it been a journey. I never thought sleep deprivation would feel normal. Anyway I know it will change as he gets older but I sure wish it would happen sooner. The past few months have been quite adventurous to say the least. I’ve had ups and downs, the loudest house on the block, no longer have anything to wear due to spit ups, more poopy diapers than I can count and let’s just say I have accepted that my hair literally stays unkempt for as long as I wish and nobody should and can tell me nothing. I know it’s been a while and after hearing it’s all about the swaddle and that they deliver better and longer sleeps, here is what I think about some I’ve used.

HOW TO BOOST YOUR BLOG TRAFFIC WITH PINTEREST

July 2, 2018 91 Comments

Pinterest,

A while back, I wrote about tips on using Pinterest effectively which was beginner friendly and really easy to follow. Today I’m back with another Pinterest post to help you out, you see, I used Pinterest way back before I even started blogging but all my boards were all over the place, which made it irrelevant since all they showcased were a mixture of stuff which one could deem more like a confused group of boards. It was until I started my blog that I found out you could actually use it to drive traffic to your blog. Now if you read my other post here, then you have already created an account and your boards and are ready to now move to the next step. Here is how to boost your blog traffic with pinterest.

May 31, 2018 110 Comments

Hello again,

Can you believe that it’s Thursday already? This week is really flying and makes me question whether I have done everything I had planned to for the week. So today I am back with a post about blogging and most importantly mistakes most bloggers make when starting out, by the way here are some of mine. Almost everyone wants to be a blogger these days and as much I am all for it, some tend to forget that it’s not just creating a website and letting it be, blogging is not a walk in the park but rather lots of hard work, patience and also trial and errors which open up doors to learning even more about the blogging world. So before I bore you with all my rumbling, let’s get into it and see some of the mistakes most bloggers tend to do.

NEWBORN ESSENTIALS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER

May 15, 2018 41 Comments

Hello everyone,

I know I’ve been missing for a while but life with a newborn has really been taking a toll on me, keeping me busy and over all just showing me how life with two kids changes everything, also it made me realise how much time I had before versus now. Having a newborn can be both exciting and challenging at the same time depending on how your experience is plus just because it’s your second doesn’t mean it will be a breeze. For me, it’s been a mixture of both highs and lows and downright pulling my hair out moments but I am getting through it and coping. Today’s post is all about newborn essentials to make your life easier, if you’re expecting or plan to have a baby, then this should be right up your alley.

So, if you’ve been reading my posts for a while, you may have noticed that I didn’t mention anywhere that I was expecting my second child and as much as I wanted to tell you all about my experiences during my whole pregnancy, I decided to keep it private and I hope you all understand. Plus it does really help when your belly never shows and makes everyone think your mad when you show up with a newborn nine months later. I may just put all that in another post for next time but today, let’s get on with newborn essentials that have really helped me so far and are making my life easier.

IT’S BEEN A WHILE BUT I AM GLAD TO BE BACK

February 27, 2018 37 Comments

Where have I been?

Hello everybody, I hope you’ve all been fine. The last time I was here was with my ribs recipe, which in case you missed it, do check it out because they really are worth making. So where have I been? Let’s just do a mini recap without going crazy. Well we moved house after the one we were in got sold and had to vacate, I know these are the disadvantages of renting and not owning “sigh”. The worst part is that we had four weeks to find a new place and if you have moved house before, then you know it’s not that easy mostly if you bought more stuff. We had to find what’s available, be able to view them and at the same time do school runs. So that’s why I’ve been missing and yes it’s been a while but I am glad to be back.
