January 24th, 2011 — 8:15pm
On Friday Lil H and I were invited to join Kelloggs for their Snap, Crackle and Blog event for Mum Bloggers. We had a really great morning, a really great morning, but before I tell you more about that I’d like to introduce you the bloggers snap, crackle & popping:
Left to right, starting on the front row we have: The Coffee Lady, Time Management Mum, Mum The Mad House and Second Time Mum
Along the middle: Not Such a Yummy Mummy, And 1 More Means 4 (+1 =5!), The Five F’s Blog, Not Super Mum, Typecast, Small Hand in Mine and Sandy Calico.
Balancing on chairs at the back: Sqidgyboo and yours truly, Cheshire Mum!
Below is a McLinky to all their fabulous Snap, Crackle and Blog posts so do please head over to theirs and hear about their experience at Kelloggs whilst I get busy downloading my photo’s and writing my thoughts to share with you.
Seven things about me
January 22nd, 2011 — 7:28pm
I’ve been tagged by some lovely bloggers, Kate from What Katies kids did next, Something Blue, and T-J from Bras4Mums. The meme is to reveal seven things you wouldn’t know about me & tag 15 bloggers – I am going to struggle with the 15 but I’ll have a go. So here you are seven things about me…
1. I wanted to be a pilot & was accepted to BA’s pilot cadet scheme only for it to be scrapped. So I went to Uni.
2. My AMEX card for years had the name Princess Claire on it, I travelled well, enjoyed many upgrades & a few American gentlemen *may* believe they have kissed a real princess.
3. I lived in California, Santa Cruz to be exact, for a while back in 1994. I worked as a fun fair ride operator in California, learnt to surf & hung out with rad surfer dudes.
4. I hate honey, the taste, the texture, I hate honey! Not a big fan of bees either but if they don’t bother me I don’t bother them. Wasps on the other hand – zero tolerance!
5. I’m a bit of a cosmetic & make up Queen – love trying all things new & make up / skin care related. Bobbi Brown, Mac, YSL, Dr Hauska & many more I *heart* you!
6. I love skiing. I learnt to ski & skied for years in Colorado. Winter & snow holidays & can’t wait to take H & G. For the record I don’t like snow outside of ski resorts. That’s where snow belongs. End. Of.
7. I am sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, but always frightened of horses.
Lots of bloggers have done this meme so if you need some writing inspiration & want a go consider yourself tagged! I would love to read seven things about:

Dear Claire,
Next time you need something to distract Baby G do not under any circumstances give her anything of value or that will be expensive to replace, in fact anything that’s not a toy. Do I need to remind you what happened before?
Last Friday in fact *shakes head*, you randomly decided to give an inappropriate item to Baby G to extend her patience of watching her older brother’s repetitive climbing up the slide, sliding down the slide, climbing up the slide, sliding down the slide, climbing up – you get it. It’s fair enough for her to be frustrated, she can’t walk or join with these good times, talk about rubbing it in! Call time and go home and never ever, EVER, give the Baby the car keys. You may never see them again.
Car keys are not toys. Repeat. Car keys are not toys. Car keys costs £170 to replace. Repeat. Car keys costs £170 to replace.
Love,
The Experienced Me x
LOST on Friday 14th January 2011, a Volkswagen car key at Gravel Lane/South Oak Lane Park or surrounding streets. If found we would LOVE it back – it makes our car go you see! Please email me lancaster.claire@gmail.com
