Mamma’s Meaty Arrabiata Pasta
This week’s MckLinky theme is to share a favourite recipe. I thought I’d share one of my favourite dishes with you. It’s Pasta Al ‘Arrabiata with a morish meaty twist! I love adding smoked sausages to a hot and spicy Arrabiata sauce. You can use whatever pasta takes your fancy. I like to use fusilli or penne.
Mamma Guilt Monday – Mamma Puts Her Foot In It!
Another week, another Mamma Guilt Monday.
Today, Mamma Kerr is eating humble pie.
Yesterday, I turned the house upside down looking for my daughter’s shoe. The girls were getting ready to go to a Birthday Party and they needed to put on their shoes. My heart sank when I realised that there were just three shiny black shoes lying in the corner of the livingroom.
Blog Hop – Snow Pics and Stories
The MckLinky Blog Hop theme for this Monday is “Snow Pics and Stories“. With many places getting their “once every hundred years snow”, MckLinky thought it would be fun to see our snow pics and hear about the snow in our areas.
What Can We All Do To Help Save Bees?
I’ve never really been a big fan of bees. I actually have a phobia of creepy crawlies, bees, wasps, etc. Since becoming a parent five and a half years ago, I have had to conquer this phobia somewhat.

Fine Feathered Nest is Now Feeding into my New Mamma Kerr Blog
I would like to apologize for seemingly neglecting the Fine Feathered Nest blog over the summer months. This has been due, in part, to technical problems in early summer, when I was without my laptop for a while. I then went on holiday to sunny Florida and had the school holidays to keep me busy! Recently I have been occupied with working on a new project - my brand new Mamma Kerr blog. Mamma Kerr - www.mammakerr.com - is a mommy blog, where I will write about many different topics, including parenting, health, home & garden and beauty. I will be reviewing products and services, provifing useful hints and tips, as well as having a general rant about topical news items and pet peeves. I will continue to update this Fine Feathered Nest blog, which now feeds into my main Mamma Kerr blog. Therefore, you can continue to follow me here or you can subscribe to the Mamma Kerr blog and get regular updates on all topics. The official launch is of my new blog is Monday 28th September, and I will be holding competitions every week for the first month. Please visit the Mamma Kerr blog for more information this weekend.

What to Look for When Choosing Pots & Pans
Hi everyone!
Today I thought I’d share some advice re shopping for pots and pans, which many people under-estimate the importance of.
Just as any good carpenter requires the exact tools to get the job done, so does a cook require the right tools – in this case pots and pans. We don’t realise it, but [...]
