Wroxham Barns For Halloween 2024! There’s a LOT going on for Halloween at Wroxham Barns this year and we’ve already kicked off with trying out their Pumpkin Patch! New to the Wroxham Barns schedule for this time of year, the pumpkin field is a stand alone visit and you neither need a ticket to the farm, nor need to pay to get into the “Pick Your Own Field”, you just pay what you pick and would like to take home.

Dearest Raffie, Now You Are Seven! Dearest Raffie, Our most special seven year old, and seven seems so big yet it feels like only minutes since you crashed into this world, after many hours of trying, out of the sun roof. You were born that Monday morning, after many hours of fighting it, and the world became a much better, much sunnier place as soon as I saw your face. Your face was the one I dreamed about years ago, […]
Discover Your Learning Style With Simply Academy! Once you discover which type of learning style best suits you, you will find that taking on new skills and learning through study will take on a whole new lease of life. We often think we are “bad” at certain things, I myself have always shied away from maths, finding numbers very hard to digest but according to Simply Academy, this could be a subject that will quite easily become less daunting for […]
Fuel for a Healthy Smile: What to Feed (and Avoid) for Strong Teeth Introduction: The Role of Nutrition in Family Dental Health “You are what you eat” is perhaps more commonly referred to when thinking about physique, however, it’s mighty important when it comes to those pearly whites as well, and if you aren’t yet in the know about how and why you should be eating and encouraging your children to eat to maintain their healthy smile, then strap in, […]
Capture the Magic of Halloween: How to Turn Your Family’s SpookyMoments into Canvas Art I take a lot of pictures because I love photography, and though I do post them to my social channels, I also print them out to display the pictures I like best at home. The school holidays are always pivotal moments where I make sure to use my photographs for something I can see on a long term basis, so whether it’s prints (which I have […]
10 Years of George At Home! I remember being in Tunisia as a teenager and a market trader in the souk trying to entice me in with his “Asda prices”. The notion being, I suppose, that Asda was the cheapest option. And to go with it, perhaps not the most sophisticated of shops. But we’re talking a good 30 year’s ago since that experience and in the last three decades, while Asda has absolutely retained its inexpensive price tag, I’d […]
Magic Adventures With LeapFrog’s Binocular Camera! This time last week we were on a magical adventure with LeapFrog where by they invited us to Woburn Safari Park to try out their Binocular Camera in the best place absolutely possible, on safari! What a treat! The little ones were gifted their very own pairs each and we were whisked off to see the lions, tigers and bears up close and personal on a VIP tour where we went off road and […]
iFLY Indoor Skydiving at Xscape Milton Keynes! With a family as big as mine, and having ages that range greatly (we have a 14, a 12, a 6 and a 3 year old), I am forever searching for things to do as a group which benefit and interest all of us. Most of the time we have a compromise somewhere along the line for one or more of us and so when I find something which invites all ages to […]
The Start Of The Autumn/Michelmas Term 2024! I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty bloody pissed off that it’s back to school. I know my kids need an education, and I get that real life has to resume, but this year is the last for me having a pre-schooler. It’s the end of an era and if I could delay that a smidge I’d really rather. Plus, I LOVE having them home. I am allowed to say that, even amongst […]
Summer Hoidays 2024 – Week 6 (and a bit)! I can’t believe the time has disappeared so quickly and the children are back to school tomorrow! We had SUCH a good break, the bug kids have been off for a day shy of 2 months and Raffie just two weeks less than that. It’s been BLOOMING GLORIOUS! We didn’t stop for the last week, kept up the momentum with brilliant days out to the beach with family, trips to Woburn […]
