May Half Term 2023! We kicked off half term with an impromptu extra day off when a water main burst in our village and the school had to close. I remember those days from when I was little, the bonus days off! I was super happy for the boys to have one of them and super happy to gain an extra day off with them myself! With only a couple of really firm plans in the offing we headed into […]
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 […]
Billie Faiers At George At Asda SS23! When we’ve met Billie before she’s always been super passionate about her collections saying over and over how important it is to her that children look like children and not mini adults. It’s an observation I’ve always made about her clothing designs for George at Asda even before speaking with her about this element and something which really caught my eye when I was first introduced to the designs led by TOWIE Alumni […]
Easter Holidays 2023! I love the Easter holidays, a two week break like at Christmas with all the family time that brings but not requiring anywhere near the effort levels! The sun often shines on a day or two which is also very welcome and there’s a lot of chocolate – what’s not to love? For us we are very lucky as obviously Jonny is off at the same time as the children and Florence gets a week ahead off […]
Pensthorpe For Easter 2023! Having been regular visitors of Pensthorpe ever since we had children we’ve seen many changes at the park. It has always been a wonderful day out for families, but over the years there has been tremendous focus on making it more welcoming and inviting as well as inclusive for all. Not only have the play areas, both inside and out become a real hub, a massive talking point about their brilliance, but activities on offer such […]
Wroxham Barns For Easter 2023! Look, I honestly cannot fault Wroxham Barns and yet each season, each holiday, year after year, they get better and better! As a family run business they are in a position to really listen to customers and action points immediately, and boy do they! At the forefront of Wroxham Barns’ ethos is family, from the unit within who own and run the farm and park, to the way they consider their customers and these days […]
