We are off on holiday in a few weeks time and Florence has been desperate for a suitcase on wheels that she can pull behind her like the grown ups. It was rather lucky then that I was sent a suitcase from PlayAway to review! When I got it out of the packaging she exclaimed ‘I was going to put this on my Christmas list, I can’t believe its here already!’ Well, with a first impression like that it’d be […]

This time last year we went to our first Foodies Festival when it was held in Battersea Park. Since then we have become big fans of the festival because its such a great day out for the whole family and this past weekend we visited Battersea Park once again, for this year’s ‘Feast’! We enjoyed another brilliant day trying new foods, sampling delicious drinks (of both the soft and alcoholic variety) and just soaked up the atmosphere while we listened to […]

We’ve been lucky enough to have been bloggers for the Lollibop Festival for the past few years now and it just continues to get better and better. We had an absolutely superb weekend and as everything I have been writing about for the last few months became a reality, we enjoyed every single second! Other people moaned about the queues but I have to say that with the festival being at capacity (15 THOUSAND PEOPLE) and queues for things like […]

If you are visiting the Lollibop Festival this weekend then we might just be able to help you out with a few hints and tips! We went yesterday and had an absolutely brilliant time but we definitely worked out a few things by the end of the day that we will use when we visit again on Sunday! Top Top #1: Get your face painted as soon as you arrive and before the queues get big. They do move quickly […]

When I was five my parents parted ways and my single Mum decided that she would do her very best to always take me on holiday every single year. Despite having little money and nobody to help her financially she always stuck to her guns and I was fortunate enough to have many wonderful trips abroad just me and her. Some of those holidays were utterly amazing but the holidays that stick out as my fondest memories are those that […]

We went to a family wedding last weekend which was lovely. I love a good wedding and a good old dance at the reception afterwards which I most certainly had! Of course this was a family wedding though and extended families often have parties who have argued, fallen out or simply just don’t get on. Perhaps some are different but mine definitely fall into that category! Don’t get me wrong we mostly get on very well but you know, it’s […]

Swimming is something I have always done rather sporadically with the children. We sometimes go every week, sometimes even more than once a week but then other times we don’t go at all for a couple of months. I think the cold weather of winter puts me off a bit… I notice that Florence always becomes quite swimming brave in the summer, especially when we have been on holiday and been in the pool daily but then sometimes when she’s […]

Everyone knows we love our Mothercare clothes in the Rock ‘n’ Roller Baby household. They’re good quality, excellent designs and they don’t cost the earth! What’s not to like? My absolute favourite is the Little Bird collection which even just the other day I was picking more bits up in the summer sale from. We’re off on a late summer holiday so that was perfect! While I was there I also picked up a wonderful dress for Florence from their […]

Last week I posted my Mum’s guest post ‘My Marvellous Mecca’. It was all about her love of the shop Aldi, how she has saved pounds by shopping there and what she recommends and likes best. Over time I have come round to the idea of Aldi myself. I used to think it was full of continental biscuits and cold meats with not much else but times have moved on and Aldi is most certainly up there with the supermarket […]

It’s summer holidays time and that only means one thing! Bring on the fun! With six whole weeks at home, it is up to us as parents to build entertainment for our little ones! Days out and entertaining children can be super expensive though so as well as the odd trip out to a theme park for a treat we need to do some brilliant things at home too! We’re taking part in the Asda #SaveSummer challenge! This means that every week […]
