Cooking | Freckles Family

Welcome to my blog!

I'm a thirty something (OK I'm 40 in October) mum of three children, aged 16, 7 and 2.

I work part-time for a Business Start Up initiative & I have a part-time photography business - Freckles Photography, which keeps me busy, and my passion alive.

As an avid reader of other people's blogs I thought I had better get cracking with mine so I can record some memories of our family life, which is flying by at an astonishingly fast pace. I also like to blog about my other hobbies of reading, knitting & other crafts.

I'm PR friendly, so if you think you have something I would be interested in reviewing, please drop me a line.

I don’t like Nutella

Posted in Family, Food, Review

There I’ve said it! (My children however, are it’s newest fan)! I just can’t do sweet & savoury. I don’t like Fruit & Nut bars, or Snickers (Marathons) or anything else that mixes sweet things and nuts. Almonds & walnuts ruin a good cake for me. So, this means that my children have never more »
