This week a friend of mine announced some super exciting news! Some news which I have been privy to for a few weeks already. She is expecting a baby come the end of May and I just want to say a massive congratulations to her in my own style which is, of course, on my blog! This person is very special to me. I have known her for 22 years. That’s an awfully long time you know and it makes […]
I can’t believe it’s that time of year again! Somerset House has opened its ice rink and for us this signals the start of our festive activities before Christmas! I’m sure it’s a tad earlier than last year but hey, we’re not complaining! More time means more fun things to fit in before the big day and as you may know if you read my blog regularly, we do love to fit lots of activities in! We would ALWAYS, ALWAYS, […]
I met my best friend Evie last night for a pre theatre drink. We were off to see a show and we knew we wouldn’t be able to sit through anything without chattering if we didn’t have a catch up first! When it was time to leave and hit the Shaftesbury Theatre for ‘From Here To Eternity’ we felt a little like we didn’t really want to go after all… We could barely drag ourselves away from our conversation and […]
This morning I have woken up with a bit of a foggy head. A night drinking wine in London with new friends is lovely but I think I sometimes forget that Jimmy is usually up about 5 thus meaning so am I! I can feel that my head definitely needed a 10am start instead but as if that was ever going to happen! Still, it was absolutely worth it as Modern Mummy, The Glam Mummy and I had a blast! […]
How do you help someone when they are far away? Someone you know is hurting and you know needs your friendship? I just don’t know what to do? I want to reach out to someone I love, someone I care about but I don’t know how to do it. I can’t simply hop on a train or drive to see her because she is much, much further away that that. In anther country. On another continent. But I know she […]
Jimmy is a typical boy and likes anything with wheels! Trains, cars, buses, planes, helicopters… They all make him smile and want to play, anything he can brum along the floor and it’s an absolute winner in his eyes! It’s so funny, if anything he is surrounded by lots of girlie toys because of his sister but he is still drawn to the ‘boy toys’! Genetics and nature I say! Nothing to do with nurture! We’ve recently started having to […]
A while back I was invited to a Tesco store to have a peek behind the scenes of their bread making! I had a fabulous evening and came away with a whole host of new knowledge about bread as well as some new favourite products from the Tesco bakery. One of the things I found I liked very much is the Tesco Finest White Farmhouse Bread. It just tastes really fresh and is so soft and delicious. It also makes […]
I can’t believe half term is over. It’s flown by! I guess it always does when you’re having fun! We decamped to Norwich to stay with my Mum and most of the time we spent playing at home, dressing up and playing with toys. Sometimes it’s good not to do too much at all! We did have one big day out when we visited Bewilderwood again! We had such a good time there a few weeks ago (see here for […]
Not many people know this but my husband is doing a degree at the moment with the hope of training to become a teacher afterwards. I’m so proud of him because he started his Open University course only a few months after we had Florence. He had a new baby and a full time job but in order to make life better for us all he still went ahead and signed himself up for this extra hard work. It’s amazing […]
It’s no secret that we Rock ‘n’ Roller Babies are big haven Holidays fans and we’ve been on two this year with plans to go next year too! I love writing about our trips there and here’s a little guest post from another family who are Haven fans too! Enjoy! Reflecting on a year at Haven! After visiting three different Haven parks this year (and the third one twice), I thought it’d be a sound idea to put down my […]
