The Snowman – Sadlers Wells 2025! I took my little two and their cousin to see The Snowman, the Sadlers Wells annual festive offering for children which never disappoints. A ballet for children, of this well known Raymond Briggs classic is a sure fire recipe for greatness, and yet it still amazes me as I well up with delight every year as how utterly magical it all is! The talented cast seem to effortlessly glide their way through the beautiful […]
Stick Man Live – 2025! Stick Man is back in his family tree for the 2025 festive season and after changing theatres last year, from the Leicester Square, to The Bloomsbury, they have clearly made the choice that the latter is a far better branch for these sticks to love for their run, and I agree! So, The Bloomsbury hosts the show for 2025, which I always say is the best children’s theatre I have ever seen. I’ve been reviewing […]
Winter Wonderland Norwich 2025! It’s back, FREE to get into for the 2025 festive season, and better than ever we would say! Winter Wonderland Norwich has well and truly landed Father Christmas’s sleigh, with an incredibly festive bauble on top this year, and the fun doesn’t stop until January the 4th! Day and night the entertainment will be abundant in the Alpine Lodge so you have somewhere to relax and soak up the live music, as you get cosy before […]
Wicked Uncle Gifts Twistii – The Torch With A Twist! Wicked Uncle, the website that knows the children in your life better than you do, which, let’s face it, if you don’t personally have one of a certain age in your own home, you are likely to be clueless on as things change so fast when it comes to what’s what in their worlds! Wicked Uncle takes the load off by allowing you to gift the details of who you […]
British Boxers Matching Family Christmas Pyjamas 2025! “T’was the night before Christmas, and all through the house”: children were wearing brushed cotton British Boxers tartan pyjamas, and the aesthetic was JUST what Mummy had ordered! Ok, I’m just holding my hands up, I am just one of “those” people. I like Christmas Eve boxes and Elf on the shelf. I buy special Christmas table wear, and personalised baubles for the tree. I’ve bought into fancy advent calendars that cost a […]
The Thursford Christmas Spectacular 2025! The Thursford Christmas Spectacular is something which, even as a wordy nerdy that I am, I find hard to put into sensible, legible paragraphs each year when I write about it. If you haven’t been, you may think “hey, that’s a little strange from someone who writes for a living,” and yes, I agree… It is! I don’t usually find it hard to write articles; I can waffle with great gusto both in person and […]
Lighthouse Brights For Winter! I am a mega fleece fan, and when the weather merges seasons together, where a bit of a nip might be in the air but it isn’t quite cold enough for a coat, a fleece takes you year round! Summer evenings, spring mornings, wintry afternoons and autumnal walks can all find the fleece as their friend and I am absolutely in raptures about my, and the tiny two’s new ones from Lighthouse Clothing! I just love […]
DreamToys List 2025 Revealed! The DreamToys List 2025 is Revealed as Toy Industry Experiences Biggest Growth Since Covid! I went along to the launch for the best Christmas toys of 2025, as voted for by the toy retailer’s association and I have to say, with a smaller list than usual, I think it’s going to prove very tricky indeed to get your hands on some of these this year. So, my best advice would be to get to the shops […]
Wroxham barns Halloween 2025! There are very many reasons to visit Wroxham Barns throughout the year, the farm, the park, the fun fair, soft play, glamping and camping, fireworks, Christmas, afternoon tea… And my favourite time to visit, Halloween! I mean, don’t get me wrong, we love glamping there in the summer and the Christmas offering is something else (more to come on the 2025 festivities soon), but there’s something about Halloween in general for me that pips it all […]
Banham Zoo Halloween 2025! Over half term I went with my friend, and a selection of our children, for a re-visit to Banham Zoo. We’ve been a few times recently and having been members pre-covid I had thought, on our previous visit, that it may have lost a little of its sparkle. It was still good but… I don’t know, I can’t put my finger on why, but it just felt a little flat. The penguins couldn’t be seen on […]
