We’ve been looking forward to going on our Haven Holiday for absolutely yonks and last week we finally got to go on it! Florence was beyond excited as we set off a day early to go to Peppa Pig World at Paultons park which is close by to Rockley Park, our Haven Holiday destination! Once you book, access is given to a special website dedicated to your very own holiday and Florence and I have been logging in every day […]
When we took a recent trip to the south coast for a family break, we decided to tag an extra day on to it and revisit Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World. We first went a couple of summers ago and we loved it so we always wanted to go back but it’s quite far from us and tagging it on to a holiday made perfect sense. Of course it did mean we would need one extra nights accommodation somewhere […]
We visited Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World back in summer 2011 and we absolutely loved every minute of it and knew we wanted to go back. It was a bank holiday weekend on a Saturday and massively busy but we still had an utterly brilliant time. Florence still talks about that trip and I know it will be one of her first memories. Back then I went to review it and had been given tickets to enable me to […]
I’ve written before about my love of the Little Bird range at Mothercare. It’s all designed by Jools Oliver (I actually have a bit of a girl crush on her now if I’m honest) and is a modern take on retro classics that remind me of my own childhood. One of the things I love about the Little Bird range is that lots of the pieces can be for either sex and although some may only dress boys in certain […]
When I was on holiday last week and had had a few beers I was rummaging around in my bag and getting everything out on the table in search of the thing I was looking for. Jonny said ‘I bet that’s not what people expect to find in a yummy mummies hand bag! It got me thinking, what do we really have in our hand bags? It can’t surely be all 8 hour cream, rescue remedy and Peppa Pig plasters? […]
A few weeks ago I wrote about Zenbev, a natural sleep aid drink. It tasted really nice (I tried it in chocolate flavour) and it did feel relaxing to have a warm drink to send me off to sleep but I only tried it for one night. Really, to be able to write a proper review, I thought it should be tested properly over a couple of weeks. The problem is that when I need help getting to sleep it’s in […]
A few weeks ago I wrote about how I already have my suspicions for what my children may want to be when they grow up. They come from performing genes and already, even Jimmy, show potential for music and dance and dramatics… Florence is an absolutely fabulous little actress already and obviously I love this but whatever they want to be I will support them. If they wanted to work in a fast food joint I might try and persuade […]
We’re going off on holiday for a long weekend and I’ve been busy trying to think of everything we need to take with us. As we’re self catering in this country I’m going to take a bit of food with us, breakfast cereal, tea bags and the like, just to save a bit of money. I think we’ll eat out in the evenings though, I mean we are on holiday after all! By the same token, eating out is a […]
I am the sort of person who doesn’t part with money easily. There are few things that I will spend lots of money on and would far rather be getting the bargain of the century on most of my purchases than buying a branded name! Things I do splash out on and think it’s worth it for are buggies and skin care – for those two things I open my purse very wide indeed! I recently went to a celebrity […]
WIN CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY GOODIES TO CELEBRATE THE OPENING OF THE SPECTACULAR NEW MUSICAL! I have very special memories of my Daddy reading me bed time stories when I was a child and the books that stick out in my memory are of course, as I am sure is the same with most children from my generation and beyond, by the author Roald Dahl! My Father read me all of them I think and I have a memory […]
