Yesterday I wrote about what a lovely time we had watching Charlie and Lola’s Extremely New Play at the weekend. We always have a lovely time at the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon because it’s just such a lovely place. Come rain or shine there are things to do and you know what? You don’t even need a ticket to go and enjoy their play areas or have a cup of tea and some lunch in their cafe. I’ve been a […]

We’ve always used Maxi-Cosi car seats. I was recommended one before I had Florence and then when we moved her up into her big seat it was a natural progression to choose the same brand. We’ve always been very pleased with our choices and the children have always felt comfortable and happy in their seats. My Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix, which is the infant seat we chose for Florence and have subsequently used for Jimmy too, has been brilliant and it even fits […]

We’ve talked about the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon a few times before. We’ve mentioned their fab outdoor play area, the train you can eat lunch on in the cafe, how if it’s wet outside there’s still loads of fun to be had indoors and ultimately, how much we’ve enjoyed the shows we’ve seen in their theatre and theatre rooms… We’ve LOVED the shows we’ve been to see actually and ‘Charlie and Lola’s Extremely New Play‘, which is also extremely new […]

At the weekend we were lucky enough to be invited to the gala screening and party for the new movie ‘Epic’! (See the trailer here!) From the creators of ‘Ice Age!’, Blue Sky and Fox’s latest animation has got to be up there as one of the best we’ve seen this year! We’re big  fans of an animated movie in this house and have our favourites which we watch over and over; I think ‘Epic’ might just have tipped into […]

On 2nd May last year I gave birth to my healthy baby boy. On 2nd May last year, my friend Jennie gave birth to her healthy baby girl. There was no difference. Both babies born healthy, loved, cherished and cared for with whole hearts. My baby sits before me today playing with my television remote control, he smiles up at me and giggles, calls me Mummaaaay and is healthy, loved and cherished. Jennie’s baby slipped away one night when she […]

When we came back from our lovely birthday holiday and I logged on to my blog for the first time I was astounded to see that my last post had had quite so many hits. I hadn’t promoted it particularly well as I was rushing around getting things ready for our trip and hadn’t expected the thousands of hits it had raked up. Upon closer inspection into the world of the internet I realised that the post, which had been […]

On Jimmy’s birthday we were lucky enough to be invited to Drusillas Park which was an hour away from where we were holidaying. I’d heard of the park, which is primarily a zoo, and was keen to visit with my family – so to be able to try it out for the blog on Jimmy’s special day was brilliant! A friend who has been had told me she’d enjoyed it and had spoken highly of the ‘Thomas’ train which her […]

While we were away last week we found some pretty helpful travel products which assisted us with our trip! It has always been a bug bear of mine that I can’t see Jimmy in his rear facing car seat! It used to annoy me when Florence was little so we got a mirror but somehow we mislaid it for when Jimmy came along and never got round to buying another one! We should have done because I’ve lost count of […]

There will be news of the first line up announcements for Lollibop very soon! How exciting! But for now, to keep us entertained, while we wait for the biggest children’s festival to come around, the lovely Lollibop team have decided to share their ‘Harlem Shake’ with us! The Lollibop Festival is absolutely fabulous! I know,we’ve been for the last two years and wild horses wouldn’t keep me away this year! Especially as it’s in the super exciting new venue of […]

I wasn’t going to mention in too much detail about our birthday meal out for Jimmy but felt I absolutely had to because we received such excellent service! We decided we were going to go to the Eastbourne branch of Pizza Express on our journey back to Pontins from Drusilla’s Zoo. It was kind of on the way and when reading about where each one close to us was located it sounded the nicest. It’s in an old art gallery […]
