Once Upon A World At JW3! As a freelance writer and blogger, my job invites me to see a fair amount of theatre, mainly of the family variety but as a trained actress myself with a love for the genre, I tend to accept any invitation to review. It’s a real privilege to be asked my opinion and to be able to give it, even more so when I get to take my children along for the ride and their […]
Blippi The Wonderful World Tour! For the uninitiated to Blippi (devised and played by Stevin W. John) he is an American children’s entertainer who began his career on YouTube after John, in 2014, noticed his small nephew watching low quality videos on the platform. He knew he could do much better himself, so he did! Already familiar with the YouTube format from producing other types of content, he came into himself with his character Blippi, who has been entertaining children […]

Pack Your Parent Backpack For A Day In The City! You’d be surprised how many people I meet in my home city of Norwich who have never been to London! Not simply that they’ve never ventured with their kiddos, but they’ve never been themselves! I can’t imagine never having visited the capital city, especially when, really and truly it’s only a stone’s throw from Norfolk! It doesn’t even have to be an over-nighter, totally close enough for a day trip, […]

Pensthorpe In May 2024! Pensthorpe has been one of our favourite places to visit ever since Florence was a baby. It gifts the perfect day out with something g for everyone and Iver the years I’ve seen their offerings just get better and better. The play areas, for a prime example, have transformed in the last 14 years making Pensthorpe potentially one of the most brilliant places to take children in the UK. Be it an indoor romp in Hootz […]
Really Good Conversations For Kids! I think it’s fair to say that when life is rushed, hectic and mid-term, we often don’t stop to think about the things we are talking about with our children. We move from A to B often times and just getting there is the paramount so while I’m not saying we need prescriptions to enable conversations with our families, sometimes it can be just the invitation needed to stop, ask and listen to each other. […]
Origin Hybrid Pro Mattress! Dare I admit, our 8 year old mattress was utterly vile?! It had lost all sorts of comfort which is one thing, but underneath the sheets sat what can only be described as something you might imagine lurking in a crack den! Of course, what caused our old mattress to assume such a status was nothing of the like, moreover a combination of co-sleeping with 3 infants and age but nevertheless, it was what a young’n’ […]

Paro Covent Garden – Excellent Restaurant in the heart of Theatreland When you think about a family-friendly restaurant in West End’s theatreland, the immediate thought often goes to fast food—something quick, affordable, and not particularly unique. Perhaps if you have planned accordingly, perhaps a chain Italian. However, as much as those places can serve a need for us, we also cherish our children and enjoy treating them to a touch of sophistication now and then. When buying tickets for a […]
