Feet Firmly On The Floor! Anyone with Instagram will know that the ONLY way to photograph your shoes is to find a nice floor, stand, point and shoot. I do realise that we are living in a very surreal world now where photographing our new shoes is an actual thing and it reminds me of that meme going around saying “I wonder what the 1995 me would make of this picture?” (Picture depicts a woman in a mask with a […]

Bunlimited – They’re the DOGS! We were sent a glorious hamper of all things Bunlimited, the company who are the mother of all dogs, and we have to say we’re liking indeed! Liking very much! So, who are Bunlimited and what do they do? They are the ultimate in hot diggidy dawg fodder and sell their dogs, Kits and condiments in your local supermarket! Weather you like a Classic or something more spicy they have everything you need to create […]

New Playmobil Dinos Range! It’s hard not to love playmobil, it’s one of those toys which will last a family forever and gets passed down through generations – so lovely are they that they could never just be discarded or unwanted. Jimmy at 8 is still very much into his pirates which he has had since he was about Raffie’s age and now, of course Raffie at 2 and a half is very interested too. Jimmy is very good at […]

Summer Holidays 2020 – Week Four! Ok, I don’t like it now that we are officially over half way as it always feels like a countdown to the end… I have to try and blot that from my mind though as we are having the most tremendous time. This past week we went camping, ate lots of yummy food, saw great friends, went to the beach and just soaked up the good weather (and the bad – this is the […]

JR’s – Stomp, Dine, Strike – North Walsham! I had literally no idea JR’s existed until they invited us over to North Walsham to try out their newly re-opened bowling, stomping (indoor and outdoor play) and American Diner yet it’s been a fixture in North Walsham since John Rossi (the original JR) set it up way back in the 70s and, by all accounts I’ve received on my Instagram account after storying our visit yesterday, it is very well loved […]

Coleman Weathermaster 6XL BlackOut Air Tent! When we first started camping as a family I would say we were rather fair weather. We had none of the right gear which would have made it hard to be anything else and actually, I wouldn’t say it was always an enjoyable experience. Camping is cheap and family friendly but there are certain things you do need to make an initial outlay for in order to make a stay worthwhile. We always say […]

Doing Up A New (ish) Build! Doing up a new (ish) build sounds funny, why would it need it? But let me explain. Our house is ten years old (again ish) so it’s not got masses of its own inbuilt character like say a Victorian terrace with ceiling roses and other original Victorian features. The original features in our house are spot lights and USB ports. We are the second owners and when we moved in it still all felt […]

Ordinarily at the end of week three in a summer holiday and I’d be thinking how sad it was that we re already half way through as the time ha gone so fast but actually, this year, with our 7 week stint we aren’t at the half way point yet and I’m pleased! We’ve been swimming for the first time since lockdown, seen friends for a mini festival and camp in the garden, gone for a couple of fun days […]

Win 3 Mysteries In Time Subscription Boxes! Fancy winning your family a 3 month subscription to the fab Mysteries In Time boxes, then read on! I think we all know as parents that teaching our kids from home can be stressful but these boxes make the job a breeze – my big kids think they’re ace! I don’t think there can be a parent in the land who now does not have a tiny bit of experience at home schooling […]

Pensthorpe Natural park – Summer 2020! We have been visiting Pensthorpe as a family since Florence was a baby and have to say it is the first place I thought of visiting in a post lockdown world as I knew, with it being mostly outside fun, it would be safe and feel far less angst making than other attractions. That’s not to say they haven’t had to make some very strict changes to their practices because of course they have […]
