I'm sure most of us like to look for bargains when we shop. If there is something we have seen that we love, it is always great to be able to get it at a cheaper than advertised price. M&M Direct recently offered me the chance to review some of their clothing (sadly, no, they

If you’re thinking of taking a break before, or even after, tackling University life, then going abroad is probably one of the best moves to do. There are so many destinations to choose from and many things to see, to discover and to experience. Having a gap year will help you understand your personal and

There is no getting away from the fact that being a mum (or dad, just a parent), can be pretty stressful. There are so many wonderful things about being a parent, and I definitely wouldn't change it for the world. But sometimes, no matter what the age of your children, the stress can be very

Now that we are well and truly back into the swing of things with school runs and drop offs, I thought I would share a few things that I have been loving recently. I kind of missed the 'getting ready for school' posts, so here it is, just a little late. Kids lose a lot

Urgh, January seems like it lasted forever. It seems like so long ago that I was thinking about my goals for the year and the things that I wanted to do better or start doing. I have written previously about making this year 'the year of me'. Such a cliché, but I really need to

I can hardly believe that is is now May! Where has April gone? I think being busy when we were away for two weeks just took out half the time and it just flew by. With a bank holiday coming up and hopefully some sunshine, it is feeling very much like spring. Finally! I have

Motherhood is something that can be heavy; it just is that way. Not only are we parents, but we're spouses, have jobs, and wear kinds of other 'hats' in life. And as much as I love being a parent, life in general can just get downright exhausting. So learning to be more mindful and take

Spending time with your little family is what life is all about. Before you had kids and thought about what the future with a family would be like, chances are it’s these sort of fun days that you pictured. So if you don’t get out and about as much as you’d like and feel that

I hate to bang on about the weather, but it has literally been rubbish since we got back from our holiday. We haven't been able to get outside much and all our strawberries in the garden are turning to mush. I don't think I've known a July like it! We were sent a fun hamper last

Another week has zoomed on by, the time is flying so fast. It will be the six week summer holidays before I know it. The original thought of having to be taking these XLS-Nutrition shakes for eight weeks seemed like such a long time. But it is honestly flying by. I think it shows how

Since my PCOS diagnosis a while back, I have looked at different ways of changing what I eat. Certain things are best to be avoided, mainly refined sugar and reducing my diary and gluten intake. Of course, constantly keeping things like that out of my diet, really reduces what you're able to eat. Luckily these

I have always been told since my children were very little to not wish the time away. But it can be easy to do so when you're up in the middle of the night for the fifth time and someone just won't go back to sleep. But the reality is that I don't wish the

We have got a first over here on All about U - a guest post from Mr U! My husband was set a task this Mother's Day and it was all a secret to me. Read how he and the kids go on. Over to the hubs... In the build-up to mother’s day this year

Ever since Max started school, he has been keen to read everything in sight. He has always enjoyed bedtime stories before bed, but now we get an extra book each day that he gets to read to us. He likes to point out the signs that he can read when we're out and about, for

My children love to be out and about in the countryside! If they could be outdoors all of the time, then they would be very happy indeed. So a camping trip outdoors is lots of fun for them. I do like to be outdoors too, and did a lot of camping when I was younger

The husband and I were invited to Royal Ascot last week, by the official soft drinks sponsor Appetiser. It was super fun and fancy. It is something that I have never been to before (to the races in general, let alone Royal Ascot)...! So it was fun to get a little dressed up and enjoy

This is a bit of a delayed post, as it is actually what we did to celebrate Chloe's 2nd birthday. She is pretty much obsessed with animals so Godstone Farm seemed like a great option to celebrate and spend time as a family (one of my favourite things to do)! You can spend the whole

Since I have a son turning six soon, as well as Christmas in the next few weeks, I am on the look out for a lot of different gifts, both a Christmas gift and Birthday gifts, and things to get for him. Who thought a December birthday was a good idea?! Ha. One of my

As the title of the post shows, today's post is all about PCOS (or polycystic ovarian syndrome, to give it its full name). If you've followed the blog for a while now, or even know me in person, then you know that this is a condition that I have, that oddly, was diagnosed after having

Now that autumn is well underway, you will have no doubt noticed a big drop in the day-to-day temperatures. Well, that is only going to get worse as winter draws closer, sadly. Not only will it get colder, though, but there will be a whole load of inclement weather on its way. You can enjoy
