iFLY Indoor Skydiving at Xscape Milton Keynes! With a family as big as mine, and having ages that range greatly (we have a 14, a 12, a 6 and a 3 year old), I am forever searching for things to do as a group which benefit and interest all of us. Most of the time we have a compromise somewhere along the line for one or more of us and so when I find something which invites all ages to […]
Glamping at Wroxham Barns 2024! I’ve thought about glamping at Wroxham Barns for the past couple of years. We visit often to see the farm, and I’ve had a look inside the bell tents before and thought what tremendous value they are so it’s always been on my list! Now, finally for 2024, we’ve managed to do it! I paid £130 per night for a bell tent with all the trimmings (it’s £25 for your bedding if you don’t want […]
Camping at Pensthorpe 2024! I’ve long thought camping at Pensthorpe would be a brilliant idea and they’ve finally taken the plunge for summer 2024 with their very own site set up for both tent pitches, and their own glamping bell tents! There are 24 tent pitches (non-electric) and six bell tents which are home to proper beds (a double and three singles) as well as being decorated with fairy lights. If staying in a bell you just need to bring […]
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.
