Pizza pin wheels | Recipe and method

Today we have a recipe for pizza pin wheels, I know that these are quite a well know simple recipe but I wanted to share just incase you haven't heard of these as they are so yummy and easy to make. There are also so many ways that you can change these up to suit your prefernces but I am going to tell you the basics of what you need. You will need: - 1 packets of rolled puff pastry - Some pizza sauce or tomato puree (we use homemade pizza sauce) - Grated cheese, the stronger the better. Extras - Ham - Pepperoni - Mushrooms - Bacon - Chorizo To make: - Preheat oven to gas mark 6/200oC - Lay out your puff pastry - Top with sauce right up to the edges - Sprinkle over you cheese, make sure it is a generous covering - Add any other topping you like - Roll the pastry from the side to create a spiral roll - Cut even section around 2 cm wide  - Place on baking tray on side and cook for around 20 minutes These are really simple to make and everyone in our house enjoys them, they

2nd birthday present ideas

I can't quite believe I am writing this post but my baby girl is turning 2 tomorrow and I wanted to share what we have got for her birthday this year. I personally find these types of posts useful to give me ideas for presents and hopefully it could help some of you too. We have tried to get a mixture of toys as she is into so much right now and I am so happy with what we have managed to get for her, most of the items we have found on amazon and I have linked everything below.  At the moment she really likes Peppa pig and asks for it on a daily so we have a couple of bits linked to that, she also loves Fisher price little people and they are a great toy to teach children with about occupations and day to day life. we have got her some duplo for the bath, she loves bath time and building so I thought these would be brilliant for her. The two other items are perfect for rainy days, we have play doh and a pick car convertible book.  Peppa pig scooter Pink car convertible b

A letter to my little girl

To Olivia, my lockdown baby, The past 2 years have really flown by and I can't believe that we are preparing for your second birthday already. This time 2 years ago was your official due date but you kept us waiting for a few days longer, I didn't mind, it was nice to know you were safe and comfy in my belly.  I feel so lost with how fast you have grown, how many words you say, and what you can do for yourself, it really does make my smile but feel broken at the same time. I know you are going to do amazing things, you are caring, happy and full of beans. I just want to let you know that you are one amazing girl who makes me so happy, I hope you enjoy your birthday, me, Daddy and Lilly love you loads. Love you Mummy x Victoria

Self care with Estrid razors #AdGifted

Being a Mum I don't have a lot of time for self care but when I do make time I make sure I go all out, face mask, bath bomb and freshly shaved legs too. It really does make you feel like a new person and can take your cares away even for a little while. I was recently reached out to by Estrid who create vegan friendly, reusable razors designed for both men and women that come in 5 different colours. The razor blades can come through a subscription basis for the blades which you can customize to your preferences.  I took an evening to myself to relax and feel more human, I ran myself a bath and used a bath bomb too, had a face mask and shaved my legs using the Estrid razor. I then just chilled for the next half an hour just listening to music and occasionally flicking through Instagram.  I am personally made up with this razor and was so impressed with how it left my legs feeling, the coating on the outside of the blades lets the razor glide along the skin an
