For the last two year’s I have taken Florence to see ‘In The Night Garden Live‘ and it has been utterly, utterly brilliant! The first year, when she was a super mega fan was probably my favourite as her face was totally mesmerised. She was only 1 and a half but she loved every single second of it and then the second year, even though she wasn’t quite as into the show as she used to be, she still thought […]
THE CROODS is the latest animation from Twentieth Century Fox and DreamWorks and it opens officially on 22nd March 2013 but I was lucky enough to have a sneak preview at the cinema this weekend for my Mother’s Day treat! This new pre-historic comedy adventure features the voice talents of Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone and follows the world’s first family as they embark on the journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed.Travelling across a spectacular landscape, the […]
Yesterday I wrote about how Mothercare were offering us Mum’s the chance to appear in a special Mother’s Day Video to be directed and produced by award-winning British filmmaker, ‘Child of our Time’ Director and Mum-of-one Susie Donaldson, capturing real moments from real Mum’s shared on Twitter this Mother’s Day. Well, the cinematic montage has premiered on the Mothercare Facebook page and now it’s available for all to watch here! Did you enter? Did you make the cut? We did, how exciting! Dang I […]
I’ve recently become a bit of a Cornish Daisy fan. I started using their bibs, both dribble and feeding and have fallen in love with them. I adore the fact that they are hand-made, they’re British (made on a small holding in Cornwall) and most importantly I’ve been very happy with the way they work. The dribble bibs are great because they have this lovely cowl like effect around the neck meaning that nothing is stiff or uncomfortable, they’re soft and luxurious while being […]
I was asked if I would like to review the e-cloth kitchen pack for my blog which is an environmentally friendly cleaning cloth and promises you need no more than water to rid surfaces of grease, grime and bacteria. Not sure I really understand how water alone can be sufficient enough to get rid of bacteria but according to the people at e-cloth, it is! This is what they have to say: With 480,000 fibres per cm2, e-cloths have enormous cleaning power. The act […]
Today is Mother’s Day and I just wanted to say have a Happy Day to all the other Mummy’s out there! For me, Mother’s Day is to thank my own Mum for just being her and say a little ‘Happy Day’ skywards for my Grandma too… I don’t really think about myself being a Mother and celebrating me being one feels very old! I just KNOW Florence is going to make me one of her wonderful cards and that’s all […]
Everyone that knows me knows that I’m an actress – even though I only work very sporadically! I take any opportunity I can get to perform, it’s my true passion! I’m often googling auditions and the like and recently I heard about this great film that is being made and guess what? They want us normal Mum’s to be the stars of it! You don’t have to have any acting training as this is real life stuff they’re after, they just […]
I think I’m a fair person. If I find something good I will always write positively but I’m also prepared to say when I find something bad. I do a lot of reviews on my blog and I don’t consider myself to be fair weather with any of them. I don’t cherry pick either, if something needs addressing then I will definitely highlight the points that need improvement. I am really saddened though, that I have to mention about our […]
The power of the written word was displayed in full force yesterday as the world said goodbye to dear little Matilda Mae. Never have I been more sure that this internet and Twitter thing is more powerful than any news medium that has gone before it. Jennie, David, their families and Matilda Mae’s story has touched the hearts of so many people, people who never met her, people who didn’t even know of her while she was on this earth and people all over […]
I think I might just have nurtured a new craze for my little one! Floppet, I think I might just have nurtured a new craze for me too! Florence has just started nursery and every morning she chooses one of her many bags (she’s her mother’s daughter) to take with her; filled with spare clothes, a hat for if it gets cold and more often than not a toy… Just last week she took her watch in her bag and […]
