The true story of seven teenage girls fighting for the rights of the children of asylum seekers. Doesn’t sound like it would work for a musical dramatisation does it? I was a little unsure of what to expect. When you think of the subject matter it certainly sounds interesting but as a musical, I couldn’t quite imagine it. What these girls in Glasgow did was to achieve a change and gain recognition for a cause they felt compelled to fight […]

I love the idea of being a really good photographer and being able to capture special moments in unusual and artistic ways. As a teenager I even took a photography course which I found really interesting. Unfortunately I was probably not, at 17, in the right stage of my life to properly concentrate and even though it was a topic I was passionate about, I just didn’t pay attention. I was too interested in boys and ‘being cool’, you know, […]
I just found out that our favourite farm has a special lambing event over half term and am absolutely gutted that I’ve arranged to go to see my Mum in Norfolk for the whole week! Willows Farm is so easy to get to from London that you can even get there by tube! It’s also absolutely magical and a place I always want to go back to let alone the children! We had the best time there last Easter and at Christmas […]
I love my Bugaboo buggies! I have not a bad word to say about the Bee and not one single niggle with my Donkey either. They are both very different though and serve entirely different purposes in my life so I really do need them both – well that’s what I tell my husband anyway, who doesn’t really understand why we need to keep the Bee now that we have the Donkey… I couldn’t part with the Bee though! She was my […]
It’s nearly Valentine’s Day and love is in the air… Or it would be, IF!!! IF we didn’t have 4 people in our bed… (but I wouldn’t change that) IF we didn’t have to have my Mum staying in order for us to go out in the first place… (we love having her around) IF we had any money to do anything majorly or vaguely romantic in the first place… (money doesn’t make the world go round but love and people […]
I often talk about my friends at Bizziebaby and have mentioned many times that it was through them that I did my first ever product reviewing. After you pay £5 for a yearly membership they will send out products to be reviewed which always come to a value higher than the fee and with a really simple form to fill in, the review doesn’t even take a lot of work if you don’t want it to. Obviously you don’t have to be […]
Just over a year ago Florence’s devotion to her favourite animal, the meerkat, began when we took a trip to the London National Geographic store. We were there for an introduction to all the things the store has on offer for little ones like their wonderful magazine aimed at children and we came away, having met with their animal man, with the then new-found love for the animals which have made comparison shopping more fun, the simple(s) meerkat! The animal man, who […]
Before babies Valentines Day was about hearts and flowers. Actually what am I talking about, no it wasn’t, well, not in our house anyway! My ever romantic husband, who was my boyfriend back then was never one to go all out for a romantic evening, even if it WAS Valentines day. I remember one year, when I specifically told him he was in charge of it and I wanted pampering, he forgot to book a table anywhere. On the day […]
I’m the sort of person who visits the Doctor’s ALL the time. I’m not a hypochondriac, I just worry about things… I guess like any Mother, when it comes to the children, I would always rather make a GP visit if I’m worried, get some reassurance and feel better but when it comes to me I worry too sometimes but feel bad going into the surgery when in my heart it’s just a bit of reassurance I want. I suspect […]
I think when it comes to having new babies and the gear we need for them we automatically think of Mothercare as being the high street retailer we will buy all our bits from. Even if it’s a first baby and never before have we had the need to shop in such a place we still know that Mothercare is the place to be. They have such a good brand and are so well thought of, being Mummy’s staple shop for generations […]
