I’m sure like all Mothers, I just want my children to be happy when they grow up. I hope that whatever they choose to do for a living makes them feel satisfied and fulfilled unlike I have done in some times gone by. When I worked in admin I used to cry on my way into work, I trained as an actress and working in an office was soul destroying for me! I don’t want that to be their story! […]
When we first visited Willows Farm Village in St Albans it was for their Easter Eggstravaganza last year. We had, quite simply, a fantastic time! I have written about it since in many posts and always had fabby things to say because, well, the farm is just fabby in general really! We went back for Christmas, which we loved too but what we’ve really been waiting for is the Easter Eggstravaganza again! I’ve raved and raved about it to all […]
We in the Rocknrollerbaby household are off to Haven this year – for a little summer stay-cation! We’re all off to Poole in Dorset and my Mum’s coming too! I so can’t wait and am keeping my fingers crossed that by then it will be at least warm enough to not have to wear a coat! I’ve never been to Haven before but with the current financial climate stay-cations are all the rage and it seems to be Haven that everyone […]
I’m STILL waiting to ‘Jazz it up for summer‘ with my new colours for Le Donk! I cannot believe the weather we are having at the moment – it’s just SO cold! I know April can be changeable and ‘April showers’ are obviously expected but today snow is forecast! This is how I want my Donkey to look – hurry up sunshine! I’m happy to keep carrying my rain covers but I thought that by now I might have been able […]
Anyone whose ever read my blog will probably know we love going to the theatre! I, as an actress myself, would say it’s probably my favourite form of entertainment and I have most certainly thrown my children into theatre going from a very early age. For Jimmy, since he was just 3 weeks old when he attended his first live show! Children’s theatre is my new passion and when I find a new company, show or individual theatre that specialises […]
Jimmy started having a bottle of expressed milk on the day he was born. I expressed as was getting engorged then went for a lay down and when I got up my Mum and Jonny had given it to him. I wouldn’t have given one so soon but it seemed to be perfect because not only did he take a bottle but he went back to the breast no problems too. This was a whole new experience for me because […]
When I left my dreaded admin job to have Florence, my colleagues bought me the most terrific outfit for her. It came from a shop called Polarn O Pyret, I hadn’t heard of them before but I have since bought many outfits from there. This first outfit we had is my favourite outfit of all time ever, a lovely little brown wrap over body suit with long sleeves and white rabbits jumping all over it. To go with it they bought […]
FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED IN THE BRAND NEW THOMAS & FRIENDS™ DVD ‘GO GO THOMAS’ The latest Thomas and Friends DVD is OUT! I know a fair few Mummy’s who will be rushing straight out to buy it if only to give themselves something new to watch! Thomas fans are hardy and will watch their DVDs over and over – for the Mum’s it’s definitely a good thing when a new DVD comes out so imagine what the excitement is […]
Last year Florence went to the circus with my Mum and I for the very first time. I don’t think she could quite believe the spectacle and was mightily impressed. She’s seen lots of live theatre shows but the circus is something entirely different of course and her eyes were out on stalks. She particularly liked the clowns and found them very funny; we had a lovely time! For Christmas, after seeing another awesome circus display (by Zippo’s) when we visited Winter […]
Florence is a baby doll lover. I can’t blame her because I am too! I totally see the appeal and thoroughly understand why one is never going to be enough! Florence sometimes has days when she has twins, sometimes triplets, other days she’ll be the teacher and all her baby dolls are set out as if in a school room. She is JUST like I was so I wouldn’t ever dream of saying to her, ‘no, you don’t need another […]
