Cadbury’s mini egg fudge recipe – the super quick version

What?! I know right. Can this really be true? *I hear you say. We honestly didn’t believe it either. So… decided to give it a go ourselves, with a few teeny tweaks. And yes – it actually works!

Mellie the Mermaid Is NOT Scared of ANYTHING by Anna Finch – picture book review

March 31, 2023

Hands up who loves mermaids? We do too! When Little Button was really, really little, we used to gaze out to sea and watch for them… bobbing up and down in the surf. Light glinting off their long magical hair, and sparkly tails playfully causing a splash. *They may have been (most definitely were) seals shhhhh!!! ha ha.
