The advent calendar obsession is still with us. There are advent calendars everywhere the last few years, I giggled to myself as I walked past an advent calendar for dogs in the pet shop last week!

There is a better than ever selection around the place and the usual suspects are available more widely. Here is a round up of free from Advent Calendars. Moo Free have their advent calendars again this year, they are dairy free, gluten free, wheat free, lactose free, ve ..read more

  Who can believe September is over already. It’s been busy with boys back to school, back to full work days and darker mornings. I managed to squeeze in a few days for myself on retreat in France, I now think it should be a mandatory thing to do in busy September! September seems to be birthday party season for us, not only with the two boys’ birthdays falling in late August and early September, but all their friends too, so a lot of my dairy free selections this month are handy party treats.

Note: I was invited to Domaine du Pignoulet for a 2 night pilates retreat and full board. I paid for travel and transport myself. When I heard I was invited to a Pilates Retreat in Gascony in a restored country manor, I couldn’t believe it. It sounded right up my street.

Even better, I was going with some of the lovely free from blogger gang of ladies, some of who I had met already and ot ..read more

I have listed the items under dairy free and ‘may contain milk’ headings. While ALDI don’t h ..read more

  Welcome to the dairy free product watch for June & July. What a summer we’ve been having. Is everyone else thrown by the huge change in the pace of life? I’ve been running around trying to do ALL the summer things with the kids in case the weather doesn’t last. Can’t believe the summer we’ve had so far! This product watch is VERY ice-cream heavy, there has been a plethora of new ice-creams and ice-pops on the market that are dairy free and free from. On the ice-pop front they are multi packs and from the supermarkets as opposed to being able to get single ones out and about but it ..read more
