Salted Caramel Pecan Millionaire's Tiffin. Rolls off the tongue, right? Indeed it does, straight into your belly. So tiffin, for those of you who don't know, is just a fancy word for fridge-cake. This is made in the style of English Mum- it's weight-guestimated rather than weighed, but people are asking over on my Instagram feed for the recipe so I wanted to share. There are several stages to this recipe so it won't be something that … [Read more...]
Summer Fun with Sylvanian Families
We're almost halfway through our #60DaysofSummer in the DG house. You can follow the fun via the Domestic Goddesque Instagram Account and see what we get up to. No surprise that with two months to fill I leapt at the chance to add to our growing Sylvanian colony. In no time at all the Chocolate Rabbit Family arrived on our doorstep eager to explore their new home. And they brought furniture too so there was no need for sleeping … [Read more...]
Preventing Summer Slide with a #KidsintheKitchen summer pack
I am almost halfway through the summer holidays, and filling our #60DaysofSummer has not been too bad so far. We made a trip to Peppa Pig World, stayed with friends and visited Cadbury World as well as The Stratford Butterfly Farm and are just back from a few days in France with family: lots of swimming for small children and wine for Mamma. There's still another thirty days to go until 3rd September though so it's helpful that Betta Living … [Read more...]
Win a Higgidy summer picnic!

A picnic essential for us is the sausage roll, so it's handy that Higgidy - maker of award-winning pies and quiches- have launched a range of three mouth-watering sausage roll recipes just … [Read more...]
Review: European Microscooter Vacation
I don't know a family without a scooter. It's the perfect transition from pushchair to walking and means that you can still get to places at a reasonable rather than painful walking pace. LBG has had her Mini-Micro Scooter since her second birthday. It probably took her a year to master the art of scooting but since then (and since her sister got one for her second birthday) they have lived in the back of the car. Wherever we go, they … [Read more...]
Five of the best: Hair Detangler Spray Review
My girls have what some might call "tricky" hair. It's beautiful and blonde and deeply photogenic. But it is curled and tangles easily and is the bane of my life every day at 7:20am when we are trying to get out of the door on time for school. And so I gathered up the five bottles I have recently bought at local supermarkets and chemists, and we declared that we would put them Head-to-Head - if you'll pardon the pun- to see which Detangler Spray … [Read more...]
A Global Adventure with Bear Nibbles
When I was growing up and we lived overseas, my tea-fiend of a Nanny (as in Grandmother not full-time child-carer) used to collect the cards from her PG Tips packets and send them out to us. She would send off for the books that PG Tips produced to secure your cards in, box it all up and ship it out to whichever part of the world we lived in. Having them in my life are one of my clearest childhood memories. Fast forward thirty years and I … [Read more...]
