We visited Pleasurewood Hills again this summer; it’s the theme park of my own youth and when I was little I used to LOVE going! In my review I wrote about what a wonderful theme park it still is today even though it’s 30 years old now! My children had a brilliant time as there was so much for them to do even though they’re little! There’s lots for the little ones but the big ones, even the really big […]
I am fairly new to photography but armed with my DSLR camera I am trying to get better and better at it. I really enjoy capturing images for my blog and even more so, the art of creating a good image. I went on a course to learn how to use my camera and although I wouldn’t say I’m a pro now, I definitely understand it more. Because I am always behind the lens it makes Florence very interested too […]
We’re going on a bear hunt. We’re going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day! When we got back from holiday recently my facebook time line was filled with pictures of our friends in our local park. While we were away it seems that chainsaw and blow torch artists have visited our play space and created the most amazing installations using tree stumps and logs. Owls hooting in trees, a snake, snails, funny faces and even a bear […]
Florence discovered Sophia The First very recently but she has quickly become top of the tree with Doc McStiffins! She loves both of the cartoons and the excellent story lines but what I think is the major draw is the fabulous music in both shows! I have songs from both of them going round my head all day so they’re obviously very catchy but they’re also very, very good! What we love about the ones in Sophia The First is […]
Florence usually goes for the more girlie options when it comes to her television viewing. She loves pink and sparkly programmes like Doc McStuffins and Sophia The First which I would say is typical for a girl of her age. She’s not wild about the ‘boy programmes’ (her term not mine by the way) and I just put it down to nature rather than nurture as I’ve certainly not encouraged one over the other, it’s just the way she is. […]
Florence absolutely loves arts and crafts and modelling dough is on of her faves! She could easily sit for hours upon hours playing with it which is fabulous and she so enjoys it. Sometimes we make it ourselves and other times we use shop bought dough, both are equally as fun but both are fairly messy it has to be said. I really like encouraging her to play with messy things, especially when it’s something creative because I know she […]
When I was pregnant with Florence I kind of assumed I’d make other Mum friends at my antenatal classes but when I turned up and looked round the room I couldn’t spy anyone who looked like I wanted to talk to them… I know it sounds rude but there just wasn’t anyone who grabbed me… Then in walked a girl about my age and she had the best smile! When her partner fell asleep during the VERY boring talk about […]
When I had Florence my social life completely changed. For me it was perfect as I no longer wanted to go out partying and my time was so taken up with all things baby that I barely noticed the fact I suddenly hadn’t seen some of my friends for ages. It was easy to see the pals I had who already had children because they seemed to just understand and fit in with me but somehow my times with chums […]
Munchkin bath toys are really cool. I’ve always thought that and we’ve been very lucky to have been sent quite a few in the past for us to review. One of my favourites is the Star Fountain which works amazingly well and blows out water in a really satisfying way! Loads of toys that say they will work in such a way just fall short of fulfilling their purpose and are a decided disappointment, not so with that one and […]
Florence is a new but MASSIVE fan of Doc McStuffins. It took her all of about 5 minutes to fall in love with the programme which has, shock horror, taken over from Peppa Pig even! I guess it was bound to happen at some point and she does still like Peppa but she’s growing up so something like Doc McStuffins had to be on the cards soon! When I first watched it with her I wasn’t that keen and Jonny […]
