Back at Christmas time we went to a preview of what summer had to offer from high street treasure trove Claire’s Stores! We had a magnificent day and Florence in particular had loads of fun! We still talk about it and Claire’s has become one of the shops my little consumer simply doesn’t want to walk past when out shopping. She really is a little shopper and loves to peruse shelves in shops like Lush and The Disney Store and […]

Yesterday my alarm went off at FIVE am! Crazy perhaps but I was mega excited as we’d been invited to preview the new summer range for children at Next! A trip to Leicester with the children and friends, Katy from Modern Mummy and Bex from The Mummy Adventure joined me on the train and I knew I’d meet Carolynne from Mummy Endeavours when we arrived! We were all set for a day of fun no matter that it started mega […]

I have bought clothes from Nutmeg before, they sell them in Kiddicare which I love and Florence has this amazing denim dress I bought her before Christmas which cost about £6 and she wear loads! It’s great because it’s soft and pretty but it washes super well! I can’t believe how inexpensive it was either because there’s so many little details to it that I would have thought would make it costly but actually, like all Nutmeg clothes it seems, […]

Everyone keeps talking about the bunny shaped crumpets from Asda which are on sale for Easter! They are so cute and everyone loves a crumpet, (or a primp as we call them because that was how Florence used to say crumpet-we often adopt their pronunciations even though I know we shouldn’t; sometimes it’s just too cute! We don’t however use Jimmy’s way of saying football… Let’s just say it starts with an F and rhymes with DuckDuck!) so who wouldn’t […]

I wrote at the beginning of the holidays how looking forward to visiting Willow Farm for their Easter Eggstravaganza we were! We went this weekend and had a brilliant time as predicted with lots of fun, laughter and Easter treats if not an awful lot of sunshine! Look at some of the fun we had! Feeding the animals! Going on rides! Playing in the massive soft play area! Easter egg hunting and show watching! The Eggstravaganza is on at the farm […]

I simply adore London but never more so than in the sunshine. London comes alive in the summer and with so many wonderful things to see and do outside it lends itself to a warmer climate beautifully! It’s a myth that children don’t see fresh air and fields if they live in the City because here in London we do have the best of both worlds and this weekend we took a trip to one of my fave areas to […]

I absolutely love going to the theatre with the children (you might have guessed)! I love the fact that I can introduce them to something I am so fond of at such young ages and I feel very lucky that we have such excellent children’s theatre in this country in order to do so! There’s one production company which is a cut above everyone else and when I see a show has Scamp Theatre behind it I can pretty much […]

On Thursday last week we were treated to a most beautiful piece of children’s theatre! Not beautiful in the sense of peace and tranquility, far from it, but beauty because it was simply one of the most entertaining and fun things my children and I have been to see. We loved it so much we are hoping to book again when its tour hits Norwich and we will be staying with my Mum! ‘Mrs McMoon‘, aimed at 3-6 year olds […]

To celebrate the Mothercare and Early Learning Centre HappyLand toy collection’s birthday we have joined in with their blogger competition to make a story board using all of our characters! HappyLand turns 40 this year, WOW! Hope you enjoy our story and join us in saying Happy Birthday to them and #HoorayForHappyLand! THE END! This is an entry to the #HoorayForHappyLand birthday challenge.

Ok, so technically not on the Monopoly board which I’m mainly concentrating my #BeeInTheCity project on by physically going around the board, but I just HAD to post about this! People think if you are in London that you can’t possibly have the best of both worlds and have green open space as well! I say those people are wrong! Can you REALLY #BeeInTheCity AND be on the farm with rolling fields? Yes, yes you can! We took a trip […]
