We were asked by Mothercare and ELC if we fancied doing some exploring for them and because we said yes they sent us a pack with all the things we would need for a proper day of being adventurers! We had an explorer kit for Florence, a pair of binoculars for Jimmy, some walkie talkies and they were even spent special clothes to go exploring in! It was an extra surprise for when we arrived at the beach for our […]

With the new venue Hatfield House having been announced for Lollibop already, we have just been waiting to see the new line up for this year too! I’ve been sent some info telling me some of the latest acts to be confirmed and it’s good news I can confirm! LolliBop, the UK’s biggest kids festival, has announced its most exciting line-up to date! If I say Justin and Fletcher then I may as well be saying Elvis and Presley! For […]

Over the Easter holidays we visited one of our favourite places for children, Bewilderwood. I have written about it loads on the blog and will do so again I’m sure because it really is one of the best days out for children! After this most recentl visit I thought I would pop up some answers to questions I think people might have about visiting! I thought it might be helpful as before we visited for the first time we had no […]

Last week Jimmy and I popped into town to see the new Autumn/Winter collection at Joules. The adult stuff is of course lovely, I was impressed with the men’s collection and saw some gorgeous jackets I just know Jonny would love and I also saw a fair few bits I wouldn’t mind for me but it was the children’s clothes which really caught my eye. I am very particular about what my children wear and I like, if anything, a […]

As you might gather from this blog, I’m a girl with a penchant for a buggy rather than a handbag or new pair of shoes. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I have always been like this, even as a little girl! As an adult I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a proper buggy for the first time and I’d decided way ahead of even thinking about having the actual children which make and model I […]

We’re were Haven holiday ambassadors in 2013 and as such we went to Rockley Park in Dorset last June for our first caravan experience as a family. We had a lovely time and enjoyed it so much that we booked another holiday for last October when we went to the ever so cold but lots of fun Haven holiday park in Caister. We were thrilled to be chosen as ambassadors again for this year and are looking forward to our […]

My children are called Florence Mary Ladybird and Jimmy Buster Bumblebee. Unusual perhaps but I think they’re gorgeous names (of course) and I love the fact that there are lots of beautiful ladybird and bumblebee products on the market for me to buy them to go with their names! I don’t buy everything but if I see something particularly lovely then it’s very hard not to! TumTum is a range of feeding products for children and they often feature both […]

We were invited to see a performance of Disney On Ice – Worlds Of Fantasy and for the past month or so have been having a count-down to the big day! We have been beyond excited looking forward to it and when I say we, I really do mean that! Since ‘Frozen’ and the obsession which has taken over viewing and listening in our house since about November, I have kind of just been caught up in the magic! Sorry, […]

I have to admit I have rather a lot of bug bears. I’m just one of those grumbly, moany people at times I suppose but I think everyone would have to agree with me on this one as it really is so utterly infuriatingly irritating! In fact, because I KNOW any normal parent would feel exactly the same way, I just can’t understand why something hasn’t been done about this yet… Those darn awful character bins is what I’m talking […]

We had a fabulous invitation this week to go and visit Warner Bros House in Central London, check out their amazing office space complete with private cinema, play with some toys and computer games and even get to watch some of the new Warner Bros releases! When we arrived the children were immediately bowled over by the giant statue of Batman in the foyer and their excitement began to whip! Florence spotted a face painter and before she even entered […]
