Cricket/Grasshopper Costume – Home Made! It’s coming up to Raffie’s “mini beast day” at school. So, in half term, he, Posie and I created a Cricket costume for him to wear. The brief is basically “come as a bug” and seeing as all my children have an insect for a middle name, we had to go with Raffie’s for Raffie Rocco Cricket! We took an old Hello Fresh box and laid it out flay before drawing on the shape of […]
Banham Zoo 2025! We used to be annual pass holders at Banham Zoo and just had that on a rolling basis for years right up until Covid. They really annoyed me with how they treated annual pass holders and adding on time (or not as the case may be in my case) so after that I just stopped my pass and have visited a handful of times only when they’ve had an offer on day tickets. I do love the […]
BeWILDerwood 2025! I’m sure we HAVE had some negative experiences at BeWILDerwood in the last 15 years since we started visiting with a baby Florence, but I’m struggling to remember a time when we’ve come home feeling annoyed. I found it irksome that they cashed in on the Glorious Glowing lantern Parade after covid and made it a stand alone ticket on top of the day ticket but aside form that, I can’t think of anything I don’t like! I […]
Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure 2025! We are annual pass holders at Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure park in Lenwade, Norfolk and have been for a couple of years. I absolutely plan on renewing our passes when they run out as we mostly love it there and I’ve many, many good things to say about them, obviously, or we wouldn’t keep giving them our custom. The park itself is incredible with much work having been done to it in recent years. It could easily […]
Origin Hybrid Pro Single Mattress! A while back I wrote an Origin Hybrid Pro mattress review that we have on our King Sized bed. It’s incredible, and, along with the fantastic Origin Latex pillows that we got at the same time, it’s revolutionised our sleep – more than that, it’s revolutionised just being in the bedroom. Quite frankly, bed and being in it, is a whole new vibe now (especially now, in the winter, while I’ve been enjoying an early […]
Cutter And Squidge Letterbox Brownie Delivery! Letter box brownies weren’t just for lockdown, oh no! Why would they be when they’re an unctuous and delicious as the Cutter and Squidge Mini Brownie Box?! My gang went nuts for them last night as we were spoiled for choice with their mixed box of 12 assorted mini brownies. With two each of flavours: Chocolate Nutella, Classic Chocolate, Peanut Butter Fudge, White Chocolate and Millionaire Shortbread we had dessert down pat after a […]
Cosmo Norwich Is Back, Brighter and Better Than Ever Before! Cosmo World Buffet, Norwich reopened just bin time for Valentine’s Day with a brighter new look and an even bigger menu! I know, hard to imagine when their round the world buffet was already this extensive but wowsers, they’ve outdone themselves! Take a look! We LOVED our “Galentine’s” dinner and I’m SUPER excited to take the children again for am easy meal out where everyone is happy and fed well! […]
Ebebek – The Baby Store One Stop Shop! The UK high street has been missing the one stop baby shop ever since the likes of Mothercare hit the skids after bad management put it well and truly under. And while shopping on line in most walks of like is actually a little easier and handier, when it comes to baby stuff, I have to say it really just doesn’t cut the mustard. new Mums, be they on baby number one […]
February Half Term 2025! February Half Term is oftena. Funny one isn’t it, while I welcome the time off to be together, the weather isn’t great and doesn’t make it feel inviting for lots of days out and being busy as is my usual wont. We’ve had a mix of being busy and out for the day with down time at home. I’m more inclined to let us settle into nothing much when it’s grey, cold and raining but I […]
Lent Term 2025 – Part 1! Christmas came and went in a flash and then we headed into the Lent term which felt like we had eons ahead of us before we’d reach half way through when we began it. Yet here we are… Half way through the Lent term, half way through the whole academic year in fact, and with brighter mornings and later evenings it’s not feeling so bad that we’ve ploughed like a steam train to get […]
