Get Your Seats Right! Four years ago I passed my driving test and have been loving the freedom ever since! How could I have coped without being able to take the wheel and just disappear off wherever I want to go? The notion seems totally alien to me now and after I took my test then drove immediately back to London (where we were living) from Norwich before the next day taking on a four hour road trip to Dorset, […]

Summer Holiday Diary – Week Two! I think we are properly in the swing of things now with the first week feeling a bit mental like ‘Are we REALLY allowed to be wagging and doing what we want?’ and now we’ve settled into an easy ‘yeah, let’s just have fun, eat what we want, go to bed when we feel like it and do everything and nothing all at the same time!’ I find it very hard to actually do […]

Must Haves For Camping Beginners!   Now we’ve been camping as a family for a few years now and although we were pretty novice when we started, we have grown to know what works and what doesn’t. I have a pretty great camping kit after collecting over the years, but I do still have a few things on my wish list so if you’re a newbie camper and are looking for some ideas then this post might be the one […]

Shorty Wetsuits From Splash About! Splash About is my go to place for swim wear for the baby. His first costumes for the activity we do most as a family were from here and they continue to be so. We have also had some of the toys they sell on the site which are perfect for water play with babes and I’ve no doubt that they really know what’s what when it comes to children swimming! With our love of […]

Pensthorpe Natural Park – All New For 2019! We’ve long loved Pensthorpe Natural Park and have found much to do here on ever visit we’ve made. I don’t really think it needed any improving, or rather I didn’t but now that renovations have been created I love them! This place has had a mini, yet significant overhaul and all of the new elements are family focused while giving the place a real feel of being open and accessible to all. I […]

Roarr Dinosaur Adventure – Summer 2019! If you’ve not been to Roarr Dinosaur Adventure yet then summer is very definitely the time to visit! Lots of offers are about and if you’re members of Banham Zoo like we are then you will be afforded a whopping 50% off admission prices which are also all new and very affordable for this year! We seem to be making a habit of visiting enough for me to be seriously thinking about adding this […]

Summer Holiday Diary – Week One! We kicked off the holidays with an awesome day at Gorleston beach with Feed Felix Fast, Cookie crumbles and Mumma Shine. The sun shone and shone and shone and it was nearly 7 before we left. Oh it was glorious and the perfect way to start the summer holiday fun. We also went to Waterloo Park, saw ‘A Mid Summer Night’s Nap’ at the theatre, visited the races where we got to spend the […]

Skip Hop Greenwich Back Pack and Hip Pack! Changing bags were long off my agenda when I had Raffie! I bought them all when I had Florence and soon realised that what I really wanted simply wasn’t on the market because it was something practical that would fit a change of clothes, a gazillion nappies, wipes and food, food, food (for sure) but I also wanted something which made a statement about my own fashion style. And all I saw were either cupcakes, […]

Short Breaks In The UK – Where To Go! The short break, or as Bridget Jones would call it, ‘a mini break, is the saviour of us sometimes I think. Just a perfect little space of time taken for ourselves and a step outside the ordinary even if only for a weekend! The beauty of them comes in raptures but one massive plus is that you don’t have to disappear far from home to really feel like you’ve had a […]

Two Bare Feet Surf Crew Mini Surf Board – Review! Florence has been surfing for just over a year now and as well as taking lessons at Glide Surf School in Cromer (and when we’ve been on holiday in Cornwall) she has been saving her pennies to buy herself a proper surf board so that she can take herself out and practice what she’s learned. She finally saved up enough and was very proud to make her purchase which she […]
