Wonderfold Wagons Hit The UK! As invitees to the UK launch party for Wonderfold wagons last week, we felt very lucky indeed to be some of the first to see in person the folding wagons of festival dres which can carry up to four children on top of a wealth of STUFF! We very rarely go anywhere without our own wagon when tripping for the day as a family. I only use a buggy when I’m with Posie, for all […]
February Half Term 2023! HOW are we Half way through the academic year?! Crazy, crazy how time just evaporates isn’t it but here we are with Raffie half way through reception, Florence half way through year 8, Posie having just turned two and our star of the moment Jimmy half way through his final year at primary school. Star of the moment because we found out on the first day of the holidays that he got his place at the […]
Wroxham Barns Lambing Live For February Half Term 2023! Wroxham Barns have pulled it out the bag yet again for this half term with a lambing event which saw us get to see a baby lamb actually being born! Now, I can’t guarantee that’s what you’ll get if you pop along for an all inclusive day out by the broads but… I’d say you stand a VERY good chance! Their maternity ewe-nit is filled to the brim with sheep about […]

Christmas 2022! We had a lovely, lovely time off despite kicking off with Scarlet Fever for poor little Raffie who tested positive for the Strep A virus and felt pretty dreadful. He soon got better with antibiotics (thank goodness we could get hold of some) and we felt very lucky that he was back to himself before long. We had long days and late nights of having fun with each other. We went out to the theatre and ate good […]
Dearest Florence – You’re a Teenager Miss 13! Dearest Florence, You’re a teenager my little Miss 13 year old and like I say on all birthdays I’m just not sure how this can have happened so quickly. I mean, thirteen? A teenager! Bit much isn’t it, when I know that it was really only just 13 minutes ago you were born, not YEARS surely?! Honestly, when you were born Little Miss Florence Ladybird, it was like life suddenly became in […]
The end of the Christmas/Michelmas Term 2022! Well, the first term of the year is complete and as we steam roller into Christmas I’m reflecting on my baby boy’s first full term of school, my big boy’s last first term of primary school, Florence’s foray into year 8 and Posie Popple Chops having had her first full term of being the only pre-schooler in the house. It’s been a lovely term and we’ve interspersed all the work with the build […]
Winter Holidays In Spain With Kids! Travelling with children isn’t always easy so choosing the right destination is key. It’s got to work for the adults and the children in harmony and that’s why I’d always opt for a family holiday in Spain over any other while my kids are little. The ease of a short flight coupled with a country where I feel comfortable, staying in resorts which work for us as a family have always come easily when […]
Health Visitor Survey Caroline Williams, head of engagement at Healthwatch Norfolk I am happy to admit it has been a few years since I was a new mum, but I can still remember the time I got home with my twins for the first time and thought, ‘now what do I do?’ One of the great emotional lifelines for me was my health visitor who was there to help and support me through the twins’ early days, but they continue […]
Halloween Half Term 2022! We went into half term with Posie falling foul to the sickness bug her sister and brothers had before her and unfortunately had to cancel the first of our plans which was friends coming to stay for the weekend. They are lovely friends however, and they came to see us just for lunch out while Gram did a bit of babysitting. Still not quite ourselves on the Sunday we just mooched about, Florence went to a […]
