I'm starting to wonder if I have productivity issues? There was a post promised over the weekend on how to make and ice a simple Birthday cake. All the photography was done Friday, then Saturday was spent getting ready for Leah's Birthday (and tea-party) and Easter Egg hunt. I made party bags (there should be a photo here) And finished Leah's Birthday ...

And The Winner Is…(Aldi UK Easter Giveaway)
Happy Sunday Guys! This is an impromptu post as I thought I'd share how we did the draw over here at Chez Wright for the Aldi UK Easter giveaway. The original plan had been to video it and post it on Facebook. However I'm suffering a little after this morning's half-marathon and didn't fancy my chances at getting it done first time and uploaded (whilst ...
Hey There!
I promised a post today so I'm going to try to get one written up before I put the Kids to bed. (Didn't manage it - I am finishing this off Tuesday morning... oh dear!) Things are still a little fraught, and time is something I'm lacking. My impromptu absence has been down to two types of things. Some good and some not-so-good. I'm not going to explore the ...
How To Reduce Your Weekly Grocery Spend By 50%
At the end of June this year I conducted a Cooking From Scratch Experiment. I learnt a lot from doing it. Most of what I learnt came from you dear readers and your feedback. It made me think about how I was grocery shopping and preparing my meals, including the ingredients I was using and what I was purchasing. The experiment concluded that by 'Cooking From ...
Bonjour! I’m Back!
Hi Guys - or should I say "Salut Mes Amis" So what did I learn from over two weeks of downing my digital tools and living the simple life in beautiful France? Summer wouldn't be summer without a self-help book I do not need a dishwasher and definitely not a TV (but am unlikely to give them up now home) Sea-shells can provide hours of amusement for old ...
Downing Digital Tools
Just a quick one I'm downing my digital tools for a couple of weeks... See you 28th August! Have fun y'all :-) ...
A Bit Of A Wrap-Up And Moving On Into July…
Day 3 into a new month, and finally the UK is getting some sun. The Wright Clan actually managed its first strawberry picking expedition of the year on Saturday... with my daughter wearing the most outrageous headband for such an occasion :-) So as we move into the second part of the year I decided it was time for a bit of a wrap-up... SimplyBeingMum's ...
So what have I been up to? An update for May 2011
You may have noticed there hasn't been an awful lot of activity around here of late. It's quite strange really, all the usual stuff is going on but I have not been blogging about it - and I really am not sure why. Even writing this post, it's quite odd. Wordpress have changed the admin pages so it looks a little unfamiliar. It feels unfamiliar typing. It's ...
Crazy or Lazy? I’m Getting Busy!
The procrastinator in me was well and truly awoken this morning, as I sat to do some work, turned on the PC and fired up the e-mail... Oops! Over at Minimalist at Home Faith posted Are Your Summers Lazy Or Crazy Head on over and check it out for the low down. My post is semi-related although off on a tangent somewhat. ps - nice to see Faith back at the ...
I’m Back!
I'm Back Guys! The extended leave was by all intents and purposes an accident... Let me fill you in... posted 16th April my much awaited Carrot Soup Recipe, with grand plans for a post on Sunday 17th. Sunday is my Faminimalism series. However the post for that day was actually going to be about Faith Jane's decision to potentially stop blogging. As it was ...
