    ASK Italian #MakeItSpecial

    ASK Italian is inspired by Italy from the authentic Italian food to the easy going atmosphere, warm service and fresh design and so when we were asked if we wanted to give our local restaurant a visit, I knew that we would be in for some lovely pizzas, pastas and Italian cuisine of the finest around.  There are loads of ASK Italian restaurants around the whole of the country but only one in Leeds, right at the other side to us. But luckily, it’s easy to get to and we couldn’t wait to pop in and sample their food.  ASK Italian in Headingley is in a beautiful building and is…

    Frankie & Benny’s Christmas Menu #FBFestive

    I have been a lover of Frankie & Benny’s for a while now and ever since I found out that there is one of their restaurants in The Leeds Light shopping centre, we pop in regularly for breakfast and to enjoy some nice grub.  I love the style of Frankie & Benny’s, an Italian American restaurant, which is like an all American diner. Retro music playing in the background, a comfortable atmosphere, and a menu featuring a mix of Italian and American dishes, so much choice to pick from. This week, we were invited to try out their new Christmas menu and I really couldn’t wait to pop in and…

    Birthday Bank Holiday Fun

    Our Bank holiday celebrations started on Thursday when we celebrated Thomas’ 4th Birthday. I cannot believe that my little boy is 4 year old. It seems like 2 minutes ago that we were bringing him home from the hospital, watching him crawl for the first time, take his first steps, say his first word, bring his little brother into the world and now 4… yes 4 years old.  We started off celebrating by opening Thomas’ presents. He mostly got money this year as his toy box is overloaded with toys and he has a mountain of clothing so we decided to ask for money so he could choose his own things.  He…

    Baker Days Letterbox Cake

    If someone offers to let you review cake, there isn’t many times I would turn it down and so when Baker Days offered us a cake for Thomas’ birthday, we jumped on them and screamed yes at the tops of our voices.  Baker Days make a range of cakes including a ‘LetterBox Cake’ which is small enough to fit through the letterbox and so perfect for busy parents who want a personalised cake for their child but don’t have time to wait in for it.  Their website is easy to use. After choosing an occasion, you pick the cake design and size. You are then given the opportunity to personalise…
