We might be in the minority but we haven’t read any Dr Seuss books yet. I didn’t have them read to me as a child so I guess they just weren’t really on my radar. Not really knowing any of the stories or much about them didn’t deter me from accepting a theatre invite of course, we’re simply bonkers about theatre and would go and see anything if invited! The Cat In The Hat, one of the most famous (I’ve […]
A while ago we were asked if we’d like to attend some swimming events for children at Virgin Active and we had a brilliant time learning about the classes they hold there and the under water photography they provide for little ones. When they again asked us recently if we’d like to join them for their Barbie Pearl swimming class, which they were holding as a FREE event in lots of their venues, we absolutely jumped at the chance! Swimming […]
A couple of weeks ago, whilst staying at my Mum’s, we had a bit of a party with some of our Norwich friends. It was to celebrate the new Nick Jr show, Zack and Quack! Zack and Quack live in a papery crafty world where they can make anything out of the bits they find and the party was craft themed to go with the show! We got the television on Nick Jr! And set the party up! We invited […]
It can be incredibly awkward, receiving an invitation to a formal do with a specific dress code, and not having the first clue about what it actually means. At some point over the course of the year, you’ll probably receive such an invitation – perhaps for a wedding, a graduation or an anniversary dinner – and you will be required to dress accordingly. However, when you don’t know the different between black tie, white tie, evening and cocktail, what do […]
Lotte from Berice Baby tagged me in the Mum tag a little while ago today. I read her super sweet post where she answered all the questions beautifully and now it’s my turn! So… Here goes… 1. Are you a Stay at Home Mum, or a Working Mum? Stay at home. 2. Would you have it any other way? Unless I absolutely had to go back to work for financial reasons then I wouldn’t and I don’t understand why anyone […]
There’s a song I love by a band I adore called ‘Don’t Go Back To Dalston’. When Razorlight brought their first album out it was ALL I listened to and that song became very special to me. I remember walking with Jonny from Tower Hill to Canary Wharf one day and we sang it all the way at the tops of our voices! That song, despite living in East London, is the closest I’ve ever actually got (until today) to […]
With Valentines Day starting off the weekend on Friday it could only have been a weekend to celebrate love don’t you think?! I didn’t actually get a card from my husband but I did get a present which he’d put some thought into so I have to give him brownie points for that! He has always been a bit hit and miss when it comes to celebrating Valentines Day so I think to get anything at all is a bit […]
It’s here! Half Term! I simply love the holidays and having Florence home from nursery the whole week. I know some parents dread having the children off school but for me it’s honestly and truthfully the same feeling as when I was at school myself and got a break – it means one thing! FUN! We have loads lined up… I do like a chocka block schedule! On Monday we are going to my friend Denise’s for lunch with other […]
I love the way Florence describes things. At four years old she uses both knowledge and imagination and her way of telling us how things work or where they come from makes us laugh so much but also feel incredibly proud of how bright she is! This week she’s been telling me all about potatoes…
A week ago and I was jetting off to, err, Manchester for the day with my lovely friends Katy from Modern Mummy and Alice from An Essex Wife! Those girls have fast become good friends of mine and make blogging even better because not only are they pals but also colleagues to bounce ideas, enjoy trips and work together with. I am so pleased I have them and last week, when we were all of us invited to the Pampers […]
