While I was gate crashing an event yesterday (not really, I was at one and another was going on so they asked me in to see them too) I tried the most delicious cocktail ever! I’d literally just been eating salted caramel nuts trying out Christmas party nibbles at the event I WAS invited to when down stairs I was handed a salted caramel long drink! Oh yum and who cared that it was before mid day! Using Stoli Salted Karamel […]
Yesterday I was at an event where there was also another event going on in the same building and after I’d been around the one I’d actually been invited to I kind of gate crashed the other one too! Well, I didn’t really as the guy on the door DID ask me but I suspect he initially thought I was there for them and then didn’t want to seem rude. Hey ho, it was really interesting and a couple of […]
I am such a techy novice. I try and try to be good at computers but I fail miserably most of the time and have to ask my husband or my brother (who sorts out everything on this blog by the way) to do it for me. My children on the other hand, even Jimmy, are completely confident with things like phones and tablets. It’s their era, it’s what they’ve grown up with and Florence knows her way round our […]
We’ve been reviewing some more bath toys from Sassy. The latest ones we’ve been enjoying playing with are the Tiny Tub Time Turtles which the children had as a little present on my birthday. I like to give Florence a little something on my birthday to make up for the fact that hers comes in the same week as Christmas meaning all the presents come at once and I obviously can’t leave Jimmy out! They were thrilled with their little turtle […]
Yesterday was my birthday and I decided that as I had been asked to review an Italian restaurant and I would have chosen an Italian restaurant for my birthday lunch anyway, we would use the opportunity and combine the two. I’d not heard of Vapiano before, a worldwide chain with just two restaurants in Great Britain, both of which being in London. They sounded like they had an unusual concept where you go up to the counter to order your food from […]
Do you ever have a day where you just smile every time you think about it? Yesterday was one of those days. I was invited with my family to attend the Henley Regatta and have fun in the enclosure sponsored by my friends at Bugaboo. It was also an opportunity for me to see their offices for the first time as they are right on the river in Henley and to meet the newest member of the Bugaboo family, the […]
A lovely PR company I know held a bit of a Christmas bash this weekend. It involved a beautiful summer’s day, an open house dressed for Christmas, the man in red himself and some very, VERY fun toys to play with! So strange walking in from the heat to a house decked in holly but super fun all the same! A Christmas tree with presents and games and toys for the children to play with. A garden full of scooters […]
I don’t have an iPad or an iPhone mores the pity as yesterday I heard about yet another app I would really like to have! Do I just give in now and get one under the pressure of all the apps I want? I’m not sure, but this latest one is certainly persuasive! Annabel Karmel, baby food guru (or Princess of the fish pie as she calls herself), is behind Annabel’s Essential Guide To Feeding Your Baby And Toddler which […]
We are very lucky and often get to visit the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon to preview their shows for the blog. Today we were invited to yet another deliciously exciting show in Three Colours which, as always, we absolutely loved! I didn’t really know what to expect so hadn’t spoken much to the children about it; I hadn’t even really mentioned we were going at all and Florence was delighted when she realised where we were! You see, going to […]
