A while back Florence, Jimmy and I were invited to a DVD launch of the children’s television series, Horrible Histories. It was Florence’s first real introduction and while probably younger than the intended demographic, she had a real blast and loved singing along to all the slightly rude and very funny songs! We took along my twelve year old sister who is a big fan of the show and it proved that it’s suitable, funny and topical for a big […]

Yesterday while at a blogging event I heard about another event being held down the road. Not being the shy type I decided to chance my arm and see if I could gate crash. I wouldn’t ordinarily do that but the event was being held by Hasbro and it’s not really a secret that we’re rather frond of toys in this house! I was really rather lucky as they very kindly allowed me to come in and spend the afternoon […]

When I was little my Dad lived in Holland. There were two things that were very popular with the children there that my friends in the UK hadn’t really caught on to in quite the same way – they did, but not until much later! The first was the Pink Panther who I still really love and the other was Smurfs! They were literally like the Dutch Peppa Pig when I was a child and I fell in love with […]

You always hear about toys shops running out when it gets to Christmas and parents running around from shop to shop trying to find the toy their little ones have asked for because the parents have left it until last minute! Well, that happened to me for the first time last year and I ran around everywhere trying to find it. For some reason I didn’t go to Argos first and I really regret that decision as it was indeed […]

Those lovely folk over at Lollibop have decided to join hands with children’s charity Barnardo’s for this year’s bash! I just can’t think of a more fitting charity for the festival as both are so solely focused on children and with Barnardo’s holding ‘Big Toddle’ events to raise money, I can’t think of a better venue than the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park! What a pairing for this latest news from the big bash for little people! LOLLIBOP PARTNERS WITH BARNARDO’S […]

When I first had Florence I didn’t know anyone else in my area who had children. It didn’t take long however to make some mummy friends at play groups. I think I had assumed that ‘mummy friends’ would be the people I hung out with while I had a baby and not really the people I continued to hang out with from choice later on. I couldn’t have been more wrong because the group of women I met are amazing. […]

Two months ago I went to The Harley Street Dermatology Clinic and met with Consultant Dermatolgist Dr Adam Friedmann for the removal of the moles on my face! I’ve written about my experiences including some pretty gory pictures of the healing but that was all back when it had just been done! Two months on and how do I look? Have my moles gone for good? Did I scar badly? Well… They look pretty good actually. People said for ages afterwards that they never […]

A while back I wrote about why my blog is called ‘Rock ‘n’ Roller Baby‘ and I said it’s all because of Rock ‘n’ Roller Daddy being a musician. Jonny is a singer and a song writer and also a wonderful musician, it’s such a big part of us and our family that of course that had to be our name! He’s been working really hard writing and recording new songs and he’s been out and about playing them too! […]

Today is the last day of term for Florence and we have lots of lovely summery days to fill coming up! Obviously Daddy will be working for lots of it so it will be just me and the children and with lots of the play groups we usually attend also shutting for the summer it lies with me to find things we can do to make the summer fun! London is fabulous and we’ll be visiting all our favourite places […]
