Regatta Walk To School Adventure Guide!

Posted in Uncategorized

Regatta, makers of super outdoor wear (we reviewed some gorgeous pieces here last week), challenged us to mix up our week a bit and have some adventures on our way to school. Apparently 58% of children pester their parents to walk to school more and Regatta have come up with a fun downloadable ‘Walk To School Adventure Guide’ on their website www.regatta.com to help you come up with ideas for how you can make your journey to school more fun!

We’ve Got The X Factor!

Posted in Uncategorized

I watch a lot of reality televsion but for some reason I just haven’t watched the X Factor before. Not since the days of Pop Idol or Pop Stars has my living room been graced with a singing competition on a Saturday night so when it comes to the contestants, judges, what’s happening in the shows… I just don’t know. When I was asked if I’d like tickets (VIP tickets nonetheless) to a filming of the show I wasn’t sure […]

#OvernightCoffee With Thermos!

Posted in Uncategorized

I’m not a coffee drinker and actually find that caffeine doesn’t really agree with me as it makes my skin horrible. Because of this I haven’t drunk a cup for over a decade but that doesn’t mean I don’t find myself making it often. Jonny is a BIG coffee drinker and is very fond of his coffee machine. He also likes to take a flask with him on a day out or to band practice when he goes off for […]

The Adventures Of Abney And Teal Magazine!

Posted in Uncategorized

Abney and Teal is one of the gentlest and most lovely programmes on CBeebies and when it comes on the television an air of calm takes on in our living room. Both my children, my girly girl of 4 and my boisterous boy of 2, enjoy watching it and I have to say that it’s one of the ones I enjoy myself too. There’s a new magazine to accompany the programme which is released for the first time today and […]

How to make your smile dazzle

Posted in Uncategorized

In the day and age we live in, nothing but an ultra bright white smile is sufficient to attract your potential suitor or impress new people. We could all do with a few tips on how to get our smiles a bit whiter. With so many ‘home whitening kits’ available, it can be hard to know what it best to do for your teeth. Brush regularly This sounds so obvious, but according to an article in the Daily Mail in […]

Riding With Aldi!

Posted in Uncategorized

Florence has had a couple of riding lessons and absolutely loved them though it’s an expensive hobby it has to be said! A group lesson on a Sunday morning for pre-schoolers near us costs £15 which believe it or not is very good value but still, for a half an hour lesson it’s not something we can afford to do every week right now. We do the lessons as and when which is lovely and it is a real treat but […]

The Great Outdoors With Regatta!

Posted in Uncategorized

Autumn is here and the children are liking nothing more than getting outside to splash in puddles and kick the leaves around. The weather is building beautifully for Halloween and bonfire night and we are dressing appropriately. Living in London you might think we don’t have much countryside to roam or the need for sensible walking (and of course splashing) clothes but you’d be very wrong. Where I live feels almost more rural than where I’m from in Norfolk and […]

The Hangover!

Posted in Uncategorized

This week, quite frankly, can do one. It’s been exhausting. I think sinking a bucket of wine followed by shots of, aherm, sambuca and living it up like I’m 19 (midweek would you believe) cannot have helped my mood or tiredness but really, I’m so glad the end of the week has come! So I spent one day nursing a very poorly head – I’m still in the ‘I’m never drinking again’ phase two days on it was that bad […]

Tinkerbell Tea – Friday Night Treat Tea!

Posted in Uncategorized

This week for our treat tea to celebrate the end of the week we had a Tinkerbell theme. I found it a bit difficult to make food into things from the actual films so instead just tried to make them fairy like and give a nod to Pixie Hollow and all things fairy! We started off with a Tinkerbell milkshake made with new Bubblegum flavoured Angel Delight (we also finished the meal with a semifreddo made from the exact same but […]

Cookie Kitchen!

Posted in Uncategorized

Do you watch Nick Jnr and Tiny Pop? If you do then I’m sure you will have seen the new adverts for Plum! We are Plum ambassadors which means from time to time we get sent toys to review but we also buy quite a bit from them too because we love them! There are so many things I like in the range from the outdoor play equipment to the dolls houses and what I really like is that they somehow […]
