As a child, I remember taking part in various fundraising activities for Children In Need. It was always so much fun doing an activity to raise money to help others and it was lovely that my whole school would get involved. This year, Children In Need are challenging us to get involved in a very special activity. While your kids are off …
If you were asked to share a picture of you with someone who makes you smile, who would you pick? Difficult isn’t it? If you think about it, it’s actually a great problem to have? We have so many people in our lives who make us smile, that narrowing it down becomes a problem. I was asked to do just …
I remember growing up watching Children in Need on the TV every year and as kids we would often do a sponsored ‘something’ to raise some money for the charity. This year we were sent a lovely box of Children in Need products to share with you all and I couldn’t believe how many products are in the range. I …
Our family have so many clothes that are no longer worn. Some Baby has outgrown, others are too small for me now following pregnancy weight gain; while others have just been relegated to the back of our wardrobes following new purchases. Donating them has always been on my to do list, but sadly it had never quite made it to the top. …
I usually avoid the news, I am a sensitive soul and I find it too upsetting to watch. However, one piece of news caught my attention. In fact, it was an image, an image that you can’t unsee, one that will stay with you forever. By now you will have all seen the images of little Aylan, who was washed …
A new charity campaign was launched this week, which caught my attention. From 8th April (until 5th May) each time you purchase a Proctor & Gamble product at Superdrug or online at Superdrug.com, P&G will make a donation to Marie Curie. If you aren’t familiar with Marie Curie, it is an amazing charity that helps people living with terminal illness. …
I LOVE baking, so when I was asked to Bake Something Funny for Money, I was more than happy to agree. Red Nose Day is on Friday 13th March and I am sure we all know about the causes it supports, but did you know just how amazing it is? Over the last 14 Red Nose Days £700,000 has been raised! …
Last year, I watched on the incredible Team Honk raise over £31,000 with their Lands End to John O’Groats blogger relay, plus other events. In 2013 they climbed Snowdon, chopped off hair (probably not ALL of them), rode bikes, baked cakes, raising nearly £10,000. I had not been blogging that long in 2014 and being a newbie, I guess I wasn’t confident enough to join …
Wednesday 10th December will see the NSPCC’S first ever Bobble Hat Day. So what’s Bobble Hat Day all about? The NSPCC is calling on Brits to wear a bobble hat, text ‘BOBBLE’ to 70744 and donate £2 to the charity’s Call For Help appeal, raising vital funds for ChildLine. What can you do to support Bobble Hat Day? Sign up …
One in three of us will get Cancer. That is really short odds and such a scary thought, one which we probably don’t want to dwell on that much. What these stats mean is that if you haven’t had the diagnosis yourself, you will probably know someone who has. In my family, my dad died from cancer, my mum survived …
