If you’re going to the Lollibop Festival this weekend then make sure you take a stop at Little Tikes town! It’s an area where the children can play with all the famous Little Tikes toys and just like last year my two loved it! Away from the main stage fun and frolics and of the dancing tents like Itsy Bitsy Strictly, this area is somewhere just to have a wind down and a little drive of the cars. It was […]
I saw something really cool this afternoon and because I have a strong suspicion that it is going to be on the news at 6 o’clock tonight, I thought I’d get in there and report on it a good few minutes before them! Ha! So, have you ever taken the little ones to a proper museum? You know the type I mean. Not something like the Science Museum for example where the hands on experiments engage them practically but somewhere say, […]
I love Cromer; It’s not too far from where I was brought up in Norwich and we spent a lot of time there when I was little. My Grandparents first took me camping there when I was just a few weeks old and we continued to go to that camp site every year in our caravan until I was a teenager. I even went with my best friend as we got older and had my first weekend away without parents! […]
I’m rather partial to a trip around Lakeland in order to ooh and ahh over all the lovely cakey cookware, gadgets and gizmos! It’s the sort of shop that all my female (sorry to be sexist, I’m sure lots of men like it too) friends are in love with and everyone has a favourite product! One of mine is the Dry-Soon 3-Tier Heated Tower Airer which I wrote a review of here. I wasn’t sent it to review and was under no […]
When I found out I was having Florence I remember telling my Grandma on the phone and she sounded gobsmacked. She could barely talk and told me she would ring me back. Some minutes later the phone rang and it was Grandma. She said ‘I’m sorry I didn’t say the right thing, I just didn’t know what to say? You see, you’re just our little Ruth and it took me a moment to understand that really you’re grown up now and […]
Well. We’ve been. We loved it. We now have holiday blues! Camp Bestival was one of the best and most fun things we have ever done as a family and I can’t quite believe that as a novice camper I was concerned it might not be enjoyable without a proper bed and luxury toilets! Now that it’s all gone we just wish we could rewind time and do it all over again without having to wait a whole year for […]
On 4th August, which just happens to be my wedding anniversary number one (we had two weddings, one at home and one abroad), the children and I got up mega early after only a few hours sleep (having only got home from Camp Bestival at 4am that morning) and trotted off to London Zoo for a very special screening! We were in great company as lots of celebrities like Imogen Thomas, Trixie from Call The Midwife, Aldo Zilli and lots […]
Today is the day that Aldi start their Back to School event! I know, I knows, it’s still the holidays but hey, it will come round quicker than we know and I’ve been told by all my seasoned pro friends that if you don’t buy uniform now then it will sell out by the time they go back… For us it’s not back to school as such but the very first time of school ever! In September Florence will begin […]
I’ve always been a fan of crafting. I love modelling clay and making cards and I’m actually quite good at lots of it. Since having children though and I’ve not had so much time so I’ve trailed off a bit.It hasn’t really been until Florence (who at 4 is AMAZING at arts and crafts) has become a craft fan that I’ve returned my attention to the hobby I’m not wonderful at knitting or crochet like my Mum is but after […]
I’ve talked before of my love of the Bugaboo Bee. We have one of course. Actually, we have two. Excessive perhaps but I knew I wanted a Bugaboo before we even had any babies to put in it and when I found out I was pregnant it was first on my shopping list. When I later had Jimmy they had updated the Bee to a Bee plus and I was desperate for the newer version too! I actually love them […]
