Greek Salad & Lamb Pittas:
Greece is one of our favourite holiday destinations and I must admit- a large part of the reason for this is the food! Grilled meats, pitta, feta, olives… all of the Greek foods we know and love feature heavily in our home recipes when back in the UK.
So I wanted to share one of our favourite recipes with you. It’s pretty much a weekly
go-to because it’s fast, simple, super healthy and super tasty! Very nutritionally dense – full of protein, good fats, prebiotics and immuneboosting garlic!
Parental units- from our family to yours it’s our Greek Lamb Pitta Salad!

The Method
The Greek Salad
Simply chop the lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese, olives and onion. Then combine to make your Greek Salad.
Olive Oil Dressing:
Finely chop 2 whole garlic cloves, oregano, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1⁄2 teaspoon of pepper in the bowl with a generous pouring of Olive Oil.
Tzatziki Sauce:
In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cucumber, remaining 3 cloves of minced garlic, dill, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.

The Balance of Play
I hate admitting that because I value play so deeply, especially in those precious early years. It’s how our children learn, explore, imagine and build confidence. But as a mum trying to keep a household running and a business growing, it’s not always easy to appreciate those moments.

Why Family Gardening Is Having a Quiet Comeback
There’s a noticeable shift happening in how families spend their time. It isn’t loud or trend-led, and it’s rarely documented with before-and-after shots. Instead, it’s quieter and slower, rooted in small routines and shared moments. Family gardening is part of that change.

WHY PARENTS NEED A WILL (Even If You Don’t Think You Do)
A lot of people still think wills are only for the wealthy or the elderly. I hear this all the time. In reality, wills are about far more than dividing up money.
Learning to let go – the empowerment edit with Sarah Jayne Dunn
Have you ever found yourself in a situationship that doesn’t serve you? You’re not sure why, you can’t quite put your finger on it, but deep down, something doesn’t feel right. Your gut is nudging you, your heart feels heavy, the energy is off, and somewhere in the background, the alarm bells are starting to ring.
PETER SIDWELL’S HOMEMADE WAGONWHEELS & HOB-NOB STYLE BISCUITS
This month, I’m thrilled to share two of our all-time favourite bakes: our homemade Hob Nobs and nostalgic Wagon Wheels. These recipes are more than just sweet treats—they’re time capsules. The Hob Nobs came from a rainy weekend when we had oats, butter, and not much else in the cupboards. The kids loved rolling the dough into little biscuit balls and watching them flatten in the oven. Dipping them in chocolate was the final touch—well, that and licking the spoon clean!
