It was bound to happen sooner or later that one of the children would choose Peppa Pig as the theme for our Friday Night Treat Tea. This week it happened and I had the task of trying to make some fun Pappa Pig food for Florence, Jimmy and two of their friends. This is how we got on! Next week’s theme may very well be Tinkerbell but nothing is set in stone yet. See you then!

Just the other day I realised that my DKNY Be Delicious perfume is running out and when I checked my other scents it was a little annoying to find that they too were on the way out. I was always told you should never buy yourself perfume you see but with my birthday having just been in the summer, my anniversary (as if he’d remember in enough time to buy a present anyway) last month and Christmas still a couple […]
If you’ve not yet ‘swung out’ in the woods of BeWILDerwood then you’re missing out on one of the best day’s out this country has to offer! We love it any time of year but just before the end of season and to celebrate Halloween is one of our most favourite times to visit and share with the Boggles and Twiggles (whose story books the wooded tree house adventure park is based on) a fun day of zip wires, slides, den building, boat […]
Jimmy likes cars. And wheels. And structures which are imposing. He likes levers, cranes and buttons quite a bit too… One of his favourite toys in the world is his ‘gadage’ (his Fisher Price Garage which we reviewed here. I prefer the retro version but Jimmy thinks his modern garage is brilliant) and when I showed him the box of the Fisher Price City Skyway, the latest toddler toy we have been sent to review for him, his eyes positively […]
I had a Tiny Tears when I was little and she was one of my absolute favourite dolls. I think I actually got her when I was quite old for baby dolls by my friend’s standards, maybe 7 or 8, but then I went on to play with them until I was about 12 (I always wanted to be pushing a baby in a buggy so stretched it out for as long as possible) so she definitely got some love. […]
When Jimmy was 9 months old he started to hold his breath to the point of going blue if he fell over and hurt himself. The first time this happened he was eating a piece of bread and having never experienced his breath holding before I assumed he was choking on the bread rather than having a demonstration at having hurt himself. I blew on his face but he didn’t breath and my Mum called an ambulance as I turned […]
I have often talked about my love of the Polarn O. Pyret range. For anyone who loves fashion it is a must have brand but even if you’re not a follower of lovely clothes (how could you not be?) then this is still the brand for you because as well as being gorgeously on trend at all times while still keeping its signature look, they also provide excellent quality, functional clothes which last and last and last! Have I mentioned Jimmy […]
So, this time last week Florence wasn’t still screaming when she went into school but she was still very much unhappy at the prospect. She’d made a marked improvement by the end of last week but it still left me feeling very sad as I left her where I knew she didn’t really want to be. Fast forward one week and my girl is almost back to herself again, what a difference a week makes. She went in on Monday morning […]
This week we let our friends choose the theme for our Friday Night Treat Tea and they came up with the brilliant plan of an ‘under the sea’ tea. I had lots of ideas including some star fish ice cubes made with orange squash but because the weather was so glorious today and the forecast says it won’t last I decided to scale it back a touch and take a picnic tea to the park instead. So we didn’t have many […]
This evening we joined in with a massive Twitter party to celebrate the month of #Doctober. If you don’t know what that is (then you can’t be on Twitter as it trended between 4 and 6pm today) then it’s a new special name for the month in honour of DocMcStuffins! We all love Doc McStuffins in our house, the songs, the show and now the toys too! We actually already loved the toys if I’m honest but we love them […]
