Foodies Festival 2023! Earlham Park – Norwich! It’s been a decade since I worked with The Foodies Festival for the first time, back in 2013 I was invited to come as their guest and sample the delights they had on offer in Battersea Park and I have, since then, worked with them many times. However, this year is the first year I’ve collaborated with them in my home city of Norwich and this weekend coming is the weekend that is […]
How To Camp Better With A Large Family! While we are by no means the experts in the field of camping, I don’t think you have to be to enjoy this absolutely terrific style of family holiday. Is it hard work? Well, yes, in all honesty it is. It’s hard work before you leave, from the planning and packing (playing Jenga in the car more like) and it’s hard work when you’re there (with children at any rate – keeping […]
Suffolk Yurt Holidays Again! After the most glorious weekend at the Suffolk Yurt Holidays site last year, we booked again right away to return. I couldn’t get my birthday weekend for 2023 but as luck would have it my Mother In Law’s 70th fell on a weekend when they did have full site availability so we snapped that up and booked in advance for 2024 as well! And we’ve just got back from that second stay to celebrate my Mother […]
Activities For Summer With Books2Door! You’ll have seen me in June waxing lyrical about the fab books which came in our Books2Door subscription package for Raffie. The sub is exactly what it says on the tin, books delivered to your door each month, tailored to his age and reading requirements and included are activity books as well as reading and some sheets to be completed on rainy days like colouring and puzzles. It struck me how much he enjoyed the […]
Imperial War Museum Duxford – Flying Season 2023! We’ve visited the Imperial War Museum at Duxford a few rimes now, both as a regular day trip visitor (which was pretty special) and to see the Duxford Air Shows which are really quite something else! The last one we went to before this past weekend was to close the season last year and we really did have the most tremendous day out but this year, for the opening of the flying […]
Activity Tracker For Kids Kids are exposed to technology at a way younger age today than a decade ago. But for all the drawbacks people like to bring up, are there any benefits to using technology in the raising of children? One thing that seems to have some health benefits for children are activity trackers. What can an activity tracker do? Activity trackers are similar to smartwatches. Their main focus is, as the name suggests, tracking activity. Things like steps […]
Pettitts Animal Adventure Park – Norfolk! I remember visiting (and enjoying) Pettitts Animal Adventure Park as a child myself and then absolutely year’s ago taking Florence with a new born Jimmy for their first and only trip there. I’m not sure why we never went back but for whatever reason it simply wasn’t on my radar and whenever people have mentioned it the idea hasn’t stuck. Until now… Friends were going this week and Posie and I joined them in […]
Cosatto Woosh 3! When you see a brightly coloured, patterned buggy you just know it’s Cosatto! The gorgeous and vibrant look of their strollers and prams is so synonymous with the brand that even though I’ve never owned one before I would always know if I walked past one instantly! Now I have my mitts on one of my very own! The Cosatto Woosh 3 which is a lightweight stoller perfect for the back of my car, ready to be […]
Funderworld Norwich 2023! We had THE MOST tremendous time at Funderworld Norwich over the weekend! The travelling theme park is here in Norfolk only until the 4th of June 2023 so you’ll have to be quick if you don’t want to miss the thrills at the Norfolk Showground! I loved the way it’s been set up in a giant circle and felt totally safe letting my bigger two (13 and 11) to go off together for a bit. That way […]
Have You Tried tastecard? When it comes to having the tastecard app on your phone it couldn’t be easier, or make it less expensive, to enjoy those meals out! Dining in restaurants can be a pocket basher but the experience is so enjoyable it would be a shame to make it a rare treat and with tastecard you don’t have to! All your favourites are part of the scheme meaning a meal out with your friends, family and the kids […]
