If you’re like me you might love Sunday drives with the family. Especially on rainy days I sometimes love packing the kids in the car and just going for a drive.

I have wanted an air fryer for the longest time but never bit the bullet until recently (June). I thought maybe they were a gimmick and would gather dust like many other kitchen gadgets I’ve bought over the years (hello egg steamer!) After much research, I went with the Power Air Fryer XL 5 litre. The post Power Air Fryer XL 5 litre – Review appeared first on Glitter Mama Wishes ..read more

With 3 of my kids now going to school this September (can I get a whooop!?), I try to make the least amount of shopping trips as possible. Between school uniforms, shoes and stationary, the time and cost of it really does add up!
