How Having a Pet Makes a Difference During Quarantine

Everyone has been quarantined for quite some time now, which has been difficult and annoying. The lack of human contact, all of the events for the year being cancelled or postponed, many people have started the journey that is working from home. Shops have less food and items to purchase and more restrictions. I haven’t seen the inside of a Tescos for nearly three weeks. And all through this, I am very grateful for Pancake.

Pancake, if you didn’t know, is our british short haired cat who is so soppy and lovable. He is an indoor cat, afraid of the outdoors, who isn’t very much affected by all of this chaos. We are home a bit more, which he seems quite happy about, and our blog is having more to do with him, which means new treats and food. Pancake brings a lot of balance to my life – from the start he’s added so much joy. There have been downsides, like the fact that he has ruined a rug when he first got here, but these were to be expected. He’s a curious cat who loves to be cuddled, stroked, and played with.

If the Slipper Fits… – Children’s Book | Review

[Ad- gifted product] If you’ve been here a while, you know we are big fans of reading before bed every night as a way to wind down. When we were presented with the children’s book ‘If the Slipper Fits…’ we were happy to add a story about dancing to our collection! Ballet and dancing doesn’t come up often in the books we currently have, so having a new topic to add to the book pile is always welcome. If the Slipper Fits… is book three in the Sugarplum Stars series, featuring the same adorable characters who have different dilemmas to take on.

Mummy Meagz Rocky Road | Review

[Ad- gifted product] We do have a bit of a sweet tooth in the Sullivan-Hadley household, especially when it comes to spring time and you see all of these new chocolates appearing in stores. Rocky Road has always been an interesting treat as it’s not very common in America – or at least not really around where I lived. Rocky Road reminds me of a much more indulgent chocolate bark, with more fillings instead of just small toppings. To fill our sweet cravings, Mummy Meagz have sent us their four types of Rocky Road; Original, Minty, Orange and Salt & Tender Toffee.

Filled Easter Egg Dessert | Recipe

Easter is quickly approaching and, as an American, I love celebrating holidays to the full extent. Where I lived, we never had these huge eggs that seem present everywhere in England – so I was interested in them. When I first got one, I was very surprised it was just a hollow egg, which made me want to fill it with something. This year, we got the chance to fill them all with different flavors and items! It was a really fun idea and you can fill yours with anything you want too to make your own Easter Egg Dessert.

We did, at first, try to temper chocolate and make our own eggs, but the molds we got weren’t the best, which caused some problems. In the end, we purchased some smaller eggs and cut them in half to fill them!

Dr. Martin Schwarz Teeth Whitening Kit | Review

[Ad- gifted product] During this lock down, we have been taking the time to do some self care. Taking care of our bodies and minds often gets put aside, but during lock downs, where there is more time stuck at home, it’s important to keep up with your hygiene even more then ever. Both Dann and I tired out the Dr. Martin Schwarz Teeth Whitening kits, which come across a few different products; a bioscaling kit, an expert 38% whitening kit and some mouth trays. Neither of us had ever done this process before, so it was an interesting ride if I am honest!
