The Potette is something I have often heard other parents talking about. We’ve even used a friend’s Potette in the past when we got caught short whilst in the park one day and in fact that is the main beauty of the Potette. It is a potty, which folds up flat and you get to take it out with you for the day to whip out in those moments of wee wee panic! And now there is a Potette Plus, […]
Month: August 2014
We loved it, loved it, loved it! You can see just how much here, here or indeed here! But these are the pictures that capture our best bits of Lollibop 2014! We were given complimentary tickets in return for an honest review.
We were Lollibop 2014 ambassadors for the blog and we had such a great time on Friday when we visited that we decided we were going to go back for the Sunday too! I wrote about our first day at the festival here and also about how much we enjoyed Tikes Town which may have been just a small pat of the festival but was a favourite with us both last year and this! We had a more chilled out day, not […]
A few months ago I took Florence to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the West End. She loved it! Loved the story (which we read before we went), loved the music and of course, loved the magic of the theatre! Going to the theatre is something very special to do with children and I love to take mine. Acting and the theatre have always been a big part of my life and sharing this wonderful passion with them is […]
A couple of months ago I took the children (and my adult cousin Helen) to see Disney On Ice – Worlds of Fantasy. We absolutely loved it and had the most brilliantly magical time! We so loved Disney On Ice – Worlds Of Fantasy! Now Disney is back on the ice with its brans new show, Disney On Ice – 100 Years Of Magic! It looks absolutely brilliant, which even if only half as good as ‘Worlds Of Fantasy’ I […]
We are very lucky and get to go to the theatre to review for the blog a lot. I am engaged with theatre in a way that I might not be had I not studied at a drama school and I feel it is so important to introduce children to the genre very early on. Mine have both been going since they were very tiny and I know that they get something from it which far exceeds lots of other […]
So, Lollibop got off to a flying start yesterday with absolute aplomb! They have totally got their groove on and know exactly who they are this year! I have always loved it but last year the festival which bills itself as ‘the big bash for little people’ perhaps wasn’t located in the right venue and as a result came under some criticism for being too commercial. Firstly, I have to say this aspect didn’t bother me personally, without sponsors there […]
If you’re going to the Lollibop Festival this weekend then make sure you take a stop at Little Tikes town! It’s an area where the children can play with all the famous Little Tikes toys and just like last year my two loved it! Away from the main stage fun and frolics and of the dancing tents like Itsy Bitsy Strictly, this area is somewhere just to have a wind down and a little drive of the cars. It was […]
I saw something really cool this afternoon and because I have a strong suspicion that it is going to be on the news at 6 o’clock tonight, I thought I’d get in there and report on it a good few minutes before them! Ha! So, have you ever taken the little ones to a proper museum? You know the type I mean. Not something like the Science Museum for example where the hands on experiments engage them practically but somewhere say, […]
I love Cromer; It’s not too far from where I was brought up in Norwich and we spent a lot of time there when I was little. My Grandparents first took me camping there when I was just a few weeks old and we continued to go to that camp site every year in our caravan until I was a teenager. I even went with my best friend as we got older and had my first weekend away without parents! […]
