Moomins Summer Madness at The Polka Theatre! Moomins Summer Madness is showing now until 16th August 2014 so you have plenty of time to book your tickets but book your […]
I have always been such a fan of swimming and it stems from when my dad used to take me when I was little. After he left my Mum it kind of became our thing somehow and I don’t really remember a trip to see him when we didn’t go. As a smaller child we used to revel in finding the pools with the best slides and then as I grew we would always make sure we found one with […]
Last night it felt like the hottest night of the year to me. I had Jimmy in bed with me who insisted on sleeping on me rather than next to me so despite throwing the quilt off early on and flinging the window wide open I was absolutely swealtering! It felt like there was no air flow, just warm air coming in even though it was 1 o’clock in the morning and to say I couldn’t sleep was an understatement! My […]
When Florence was born I couldn’t imagine how quickly the time would be before she started big school. Nearly five years seemed so far into the future and I didn’t really give much thought to the time when I would have to hand her over to school for 6 hours a day, five days a week. Back then I filled our days with trips out and play groups. Lots of fun and lots of us just mooching and doing whatever […]
A while back I reviewed the Rug Doctor carpet clean. We had massively brilliant results and after I had flushed away the disgusting water that showed up my carpets to be rather less than clean they looked almost as good as new. The stains were gone in most places and the one very stubborn and old one was made considerably better! Not only that but the pile was brought up to show a fluffy and clean carpet just like it […]
For me Shakespeare has always been a real enjoyment. Of course there are some I like less than others but on the whole I have always found them very enjoyable. I know lots of my friends never really gave them a go and with the language used they discarded them from the off; missing then the amazing stories behind the words which I can see could be hard to decipher if you don’t have the will. Once you get past […]
You might have noticed that I have a brand spanking new badge on the blog! It’s one to announce that we in the Rock ‘n’ Roller Baby family are off to Camp Bestival to have an awesome time and create some fantastic Camp Bestival blog posts! As one of the official ambassadors I shall be taking the brood on their very first proper camping experience. As yet we have no tent, no sleeping bags and nothing else camping related either […]

I do love an Aldi special buy! I remember when they had wet suits at a snip and they often have strange and curious niche items but one thing’s for sure is that they always fly off the shelves! Jonny did our weekly shop in Aldi last night and noticed the ‘camping special’ they have on right now! With our upcoming trip to Camp Bestival he was more than tempted by a few items and is going back to get […]
I’ve often looked at butterfly kits where you get to keep caterpillars until they transform in chrysalises before emerging as butterflies. It’s just always seemed like an exciting thing to do with little ones, especially if they are fans of the book ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’! Then we were sent Interplay’s My Living World Butterfly World and it was exactly the sort of thing I had been hoping for! The kit! Aimed at children over the age of 5 the set […]
