We were in the City today watching a bit of theatre and having a mooch around our favourite places afterwards with the help of our trusty Bugaboo Bee! We went to the Science Museum, which we love, but it was very packed being half term so after a little while we decided to grab an ice cream (the sun came out – seriously) and head on up through Hyde Park to the Princess Diana Playground! We love walking through London […]
We love a bit of children’s theatre, you may have guessed from my many, many blog post reviews about the wonderful things we are so lucky to go and see. In London we have our favourite theatres for this genre, there’s not many but one or two we just want to go back and visit time and time again because they just get it. They do it so well. The Lyric Hammersmith is one of these venues, it has a […]
My friends at Warburtons asked me if I’d like some pancakes to try ahead of pancake day next month! Never one to turn down a bit of carbohydrate and I selflessly accepted – Well, I’m kind like that and if I don’t try the pancakes for them then someone else would have to do it wouldn’t they! I’m nothing if not giving! I expected a packet of pancakes… What I actually got was an all singing (absolutely true) box of […]
We love The Gruffalo! We’re lucky and live close to Thorndon Country Park where we get to go on the Gruffalo trail and find him (and his pals from the book) in the woods from time to time and somewhere along the line Jimmy has become the biggest fan of all of us! My best friend bought him a Gruffalo hat for Christmas and he wears it ALL the time. Even in the house. He constantly asks for his ‘Grulo […]
We might be in the minority but we haven’t read any Dr Seuss books yet. I didn’t have them read to me as a child so I guess they just weren’t really on my radar. Not really knowing any of the stories or much about them didn’t deter me from accepting a theatre invite of course, we’re simply bonkers about theatre and would go and see anything if invited! The Cat In The Hat, one of the most famous (I’ve […]
A while ago we were asked if we’d like to attend some swimming events for children at Virgin Active and we had a brilliant time learning about the classes they hold there and the under water photography they provide for little ones. When they again asked us recently if we’d like to join them for their Barbie Pearl swimming class, which they were holding as a FREE event in lots of their venues, we absolutely jumped at the chance! Swimming […]
A couple of weeks ago, whilst staying at my Mum’s, we had a bit of a party with some of our Norwich friends. It was to celebrate the new Nick Jr show, Zack and Quack! Zack and Quack live in a papery crafty world where they can make anything out of the bits they find and the party was craft themed to go with the show! We got the television on Nick Jr! And set the party up! We invited […]
It can be incredibly awkward, receiving an invitation to a formal do with a specific dress code, and not having the first clue about what it actually means. At some point over the course of the year, you’ll probably receive such an invitation – perhaps for a wedding, a graduation or an anniversary dinner – and you will be required to dress accordingly. However, when you don’t know the different between black tie, white tie, evening and cocktail, what do […]
Lotte from Berice Baby tagged me in the Mum tag a little while ago today. I read her super sweet post where she answered all the questions beautifully and now it’s my turn! So… Here goes… 1. Are you a Stay at Home Mum, or a Working Mum? Stay at home. 2. Would you have it any other way? Unless I absolutely had to go back to work for financial reasons then I wouldn’t and I don’t understand why anyone […]
There’s a song I love by a band I adore called ‘Don’t Go Back To Dalston’. When Razorlight brought their first album out it was ALL I listened to and that song became very special to me. I remember walking with Jonny from Tower Hill to Canary Wharf one day and we sang it all the way at the tops of our voices! That song, despite living in East London, is the closest I’ve ever actually got (until today) to […]
