The Boy at the Back of the Class – A Show Every Family Should See Over the Easter holidays, while also being knee‑deep in chocolate eggs and trying to remember what day it was, we took a trip to London’s Southbank Centre to see The Boy at the Back of the Class. And honestly, I’m still thinking about it. You know those rare shows that stay with you long after the curtain falls? This is one of them. It’s currently […]
Easter Holidays 2026 – Week 2 (and 3)! After the indulgences of the Easter weekend we rolled into week 2 (and 3, because the little two had an extra day and the big kids had a whole extra week) with plans for more of everything! More days out, more chocolate, more fun with friends and family… We had a couple of days in London staying at a Premier Inn for most of us while Florence stayed with her London besties. […]
Easter Holidays 2026 – Week 2! Week one of the holidays was spent trying to be slow but failing (happily) into days out, seeing friends, food, London, Theatre trips, cinema visits, cooking and then the big Easter weekend which if I’m honest, I probably did go over the top on with the chocolates and presents but you know what?! They are only little once right and I love it! We all had mega fun and now onto week two!
Top Car Service Tips for Family Road Trips The experience of taking a family road trip creates a special feeling which everyone agrees on.

Easter Egg-Stravaganza AT Pensthorpe – 2026! It’s been a while since we visited Pensthorpe, not because we don’t love it, but because school has stolen Posie and gone are the easy days where an annual pass saw us there every week. I miss that, but to fnd the silver lining, I can confirm it’s even more exciting when you’ve missed it! Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that, and to make a return visit during the Easter break […]

The Power of Collagen and a Meno Complex During Peri‑Menopause Peri‑menopause feels a little like someone quietly changed the settings on my entire body without warning. One day everything felt familiar, and the next I found myself navigating new shifts in energy, mood, skin texture, sleep, and overall wellbeing – not to mention the three pounds which just will not shift! Doesn’t sound much but I am small and I don’t like it. I notice it and it just doesn’t […]
Rapunzel Costume – How To Make! This year I went for ease, without having to buy much, and yet still with an element of craft – I like to put a bit of effort in with the craft direction, as while it might not float everyone’s boat, it’s a bit of me! Plus, one small crafty element means the overall look gifts lots of admiration and the feeling that a lot of energy went in when in actual fact… Very […]
Willy Wonka Costume – How To Make! Not spending much, putting a tiny smidge of effort in and scavenging the house for things we already had was the order of the day for this year’s World Book offering with Raffie choosing to be Willy Wonka (like Daddy) and Posie going for Rapunzel! While Jonny’s Willy Wonka outfit is all from a shop, Raffie’s looked far better and it was simply things we already had, put together, with the special added […]
