Mothering Sunday!

On Sunday it's Mothering Sunday... a day to pamper and treat your mum, for all the nice things she has done! But how will you be treating her this weekend?

Well, look no more... we have a couple of tricks up our sleeves that can help put a smile on your mums face! 

• Pamper Days

You can take your mum to a day of pampering at a beautiful spa, to help her unwind and relax. But this can end up being rather pricey, so spend the day with your mum at home while doing face masks, foot rubs, pedicures and manicures... all in the comfort of your own home, or your mums home! 

• Adventurous Walks

All mums are different... and if your mum is more outdoorsy, then put on those walking boots and get outside! Take in the brisk fresh air and head out on a walk around the local woods or lake... or jump on a train/car and explore a nearby village filled with walking tracks waiting to be explored! 

• Breakfast in Bed

You don't need to be a chef to treat you mum to breakfast in bed... especially when we make it so easy for you. Grab a delicious pot of our porridge, in your mums favourite flavour of course, and just add in hot water... make it extra special by putting it on a tray with a little flower and a glass of cool iced water with a slice of lemon, or a lovely cup of tea! 

• Movie Evenings

Some of us don't have the luxury of having work off on Sundays... so make the most of your evening by spoiling your mum by having a lovely evening watching her favourite films. But don't binge out on junk food, grab a pot of our noodles instead, which are super tasty and healthy! Even better, all you need to do is just add hot water into the pot - so you won't miss any of the exciting parts when the film is on! 

Half term fun!

It's nearly half term and keeping the kids entertained can be quite the challenge. Well we have come up with some activities that can keep the whole family happy over the half term week!

1. Get Crafty
With Halloween next week it's the perfect opportunity to create some spooky decorations. It's time to get out the crayons, paints and paper, and get creative! It's also a chance to start making home-made Christmas cards, as the festive holiday is just around the corner.

2. Head Out Into Autumn
If the weather is fine why not head to your local park or out into the countryside, enjoy the fresh air and nature around. October is great time to go for walks and see the glorious colours that are now around as Autumn has arrived - it's a chance to see nature and even wildlife! Remember to keep yourself fueled up, why not try our delicious Grasshopper Pots?

3. Trick-or-Treating
As Halloween falls over half term it's the perfect opportunity to take the kids trick-or-treating, it's time to put on those scary costumes and see what treats you can get.

4. Movie Time
Watching a film is a great way to keep the kids entertained, whether you decide to go to the cinema to see a new release or stay at home watching a family favourite - it's the perfect to keep them quite for a couple of hours!

5. Explore
Being at home can be boring sometimes seeing the same things over again, if you want a different view then pop on a train, bus or in the car and go explore somewhere new! Take a couple of days away from home, at a cosy B&B or country hotel.

These are just a few ideas for you. How will you be keeping the kids entertained over half term?
