We are really lucky to live less than 45 minutes away from the Trafford Centre. Such a variety of shops, with free parking and no need to get wet or cold as it is all under cover (I cannot STAND being cold & wet!) Obviously, after a ...
Reviews
We enjoy writing reviews of products we buy or are sent and events we attend at Casa Costello. We will always make it clear when we have been asked to write about something in our review.
Our Date at the First Dates Restaurant
We are addicted to watching First Dates on Channel 4 at the moment. Its a really easy to watch programme with plenty of laughs and aaah moments. Shortly before Christmas when Millie went down to London for England trials, we found ourselves ...
Behind the Scenes at the Food Banks – How we can REALLY help
There seems to have been a lot of talk this year about food banks. This is a good thing, yet not so good at the same time. Last week, I was asked by Oxfam and Unilever, if I would like to visit behind the scenes at a local food bank to see ...

A short while ago I was invited to test out a couple of Maille products and come up with an original recipe using at least one of them. I will admit to previously thinking that Maille was solely about mustard, which I don't tend to use ...
When Casa Costello visited Center Parcs, Whinfell
We are well known for a our love of holidays and equally well known for our love of Center Parcs. Even before we became Center Parcs Family Bloggers, we had spent several holidays both at Whinfell and Sherwood Firest. We were in no doubt ...

Funkita – Funky Swimwear – Brilliant PR
A couple of weeks ago I had the most lovely email ever. You may remember reading a post from during the summer where I talked about my kids using the paddling pool. In the post I used a picture of Violet acting the goat in the pool wearing ...
