On Friday it was Christmas Jumper Day, a fun way to raise money for the very worthy and deserving Dave The Children! It’s a really simple way to raise money and the children really enjoyed wearing their jumpers. We just wanted to say a very big thank you to Mothercare who not only sent us ours but who also donated money when I sent them pictures of the children wearing them on social media. LOVE Mothercare!

Dr Seuss’s The Cat In The Hat is back on the London stage and well worth a look we can report after seeing it yesterday! This version is adapted by Katie Mitchell and will be playing at the Pleasance Theatre in Islington until Sunday 4th January 2015. Now, The Pleasance isn’t my ideal theatre location for children because of the many concrete steps and lack of a lift. The staff however were very helpful and assisted me carrying the buggy both […]

I love going out for drinks and this week I feel like a proper gal about town. I went for supper in The Arch, Mayfair on Monday night, was out in thronging Covent Garden at The Porterhouse come Wednesday, will be at a house party tonight and then am making a visit to Mahiki (yes, Mahiki) on Sunday (we’ll gloss over the fact it’s a day time event and I’m taking the children because heck, it’s MAHIKI)! Anyone would think […]

Another day, another theatre trip. Today we went off to one of our favourite theatre venues, The Greenwich Theatre, with a little pal of ours and his Mummy and had a little one’s day out. The big kid’s at school it was a day for just me and Jimmy to bond over some great performance and spends some quality time together. I suspected it would be good as we’ve seen other performances produced by Gomito Productions and we weren’t disappointed […]

When I was about 9 years old I was thoroughly fascinated with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I was so like Florence and very definitely NOT into boyish things but somehow, where ‘He Man’ and ‘Thunder Cats’ were very definitely in that category, the Turtles weren’t… I’m not sure what made them appeal to me when on paper they should have been for ‘boys’ but they made that cross over and I’ve remembered ever since. I even used to make […]

For anyone that thinks children’s theatre is just a little introduction and nothing much to be thought of, they need to see Peter Pan at Polka! This portrayal of the classic story by J.M Barrie is super sophisticated, super dark and super enjoyable for not just the little ones but for the adults too! We went to see a ‘Watch With Baby’ showing as the advised age is 6+ but not a peep could be heard from any of the […]

I am really, very, extra specially lucky with my friends. I have some absolutely stunning ones and one of them is called Carly. I stalked her at my antenatal class because I knew instantly that I wanted her to be my friend and luckily, she didn’t mind too much, took pity on me and friends we became. Even in the beginning, when all we’d done was have a coffee and a chat, we were good friends. It’s somehow sometimes like […]

I’ve recently come across a new baby-carrying company called Rockin’ Baby. New to the UK, they are such a fantastic brand and I can’t wait to try one out! What’s so lovely about Rockin’ Baby is that for every sling or pouch sold, they are donating another one to a mother in need in Haiti or Kenya. They are also educating the mothers on the importance of holding their baby close which, in difficult conditions, can improve their child’s life. […]

Florence is very particular when it comes to her clothes and sometimes, because I am very particular for her outfits too, this can cause a bit of a problem. She won’t wear something if she doesn’t like it and although I see her point of view, occasionally the things she DOES like are a bit more ‘diamonte’ than I would ideally choose… She does however (much to my relief) like lots of the things I DO want her to wear so every […]
