Stay-cay In A Norfolk Cottage! If I’m asked why I left the bright lights of London to come home and roost where I grew up in Norwich, my answer is pretty straightforward… Norfolk is the place Londoners go on holiday choosing little stay-cations in a county of calm to take them away from their city life stresses. To live in that place is like being on holiday all the time. I mean don’t get me wrong, there’s the drudge of everyday life of course but […]

Colief Baby Scalp Oil As Part Of The Perfect Bed Time Routine! My husband thinks I’m totally and utterly bonkers as I have stuck to the same bed time routine with Raffie since the very first bath we gave him the day after we brought him home from the hospital. Jonny thinks I’m off my rocker and that it can’t possibly make a difference however I know, having missed the odd night here and there, that it absolutely does work […]

BeWILDerwood Launches The Towering Treetop Tangles! I’ve long said, on many a post, a story or a grid pic that BeWILDerwood is the best day out in the county then I’ve corrected myself and said that actually, I wholeheartedly believe it to be the best in the country! I’ve waxed lyrical about this place so much ever since Florence was a baby that I have followers in other countries who send me messages every time we go to say how […]

Colief Breathe Easy Patch – Soothe Naturally! As a parent you will be familiar with the concept of filling your bathroom with steam in the middle of the night in order to try and soothe the airways of a bunged up little one. We all know that drill when they are struggling to breathe their way through a cold, needing us to make it better somehow… Any how… Just so that everyone can get back to sleep. And I think […]

Jimmy Is 7! 7 years ago I had the perfect home birth – well, perfect aside from a back to back baby with his fist up like a little superhero, THAT element wasn’t fun – and my little Jimmy Buster Bumblebee was born. IN the living room with me stood up to let gravity help and Jonny caught him just before he dropped him (it’s why we always joke that Jimmy’s a little cray) and the whole room shouted at […]

London Transport Museum – Acton Depot Open Weekend! I frequently talk about the London Transport Museum and always have done. It’s been a favourite of ours since we lived in London visiting every week and still is today when we only get to go occasionally – this is for many reasons not least because they’re so geared up for children! The ticket price is also pretty darn brilliant with adult tickets for as little as £16.50 (when you buy on […]

Nozstock The Hidden Valley – Family Festival Ambassador! Before I had children festival life simply wasn’t on my agenda – I know right, why?! I just wasn’t really a staying in a tent sort of person back then and though I went to Reading, for the day once, it was really only to see my favourite band Razorlight and not to partake in festival shenanigans. Oh but how I must have missed out! It was only after my babes came […]

Goodbye Easter – Hello Summer Term! As quickly as they begin they are over – time flies when you’re having fun so I make us soak up all that we can while we are in it so that we can remember afterwards and look forward to the next. I love the holidays and realise that whole for some it is much easier during term time to juggle work and life and sending the kids back to school a bit of […]

George At Asda Spring For Summer! This time last week the boys and I were off to London Zoo in search of some Easter fun with George at Asda. It was the first really warm day and we basked in the sunlight that London gifted us enjoying every second of the vitamin D injection we all do badly needed. Fast forward one week and we’ve had a whole bank holiday weekend of warmth – who’d have thought? – BBQs, paddling […]

The Worst Witch – Norwich Theatre – Review! The Worst Witch is on at Norwich theatre Royal all this week and is the perfect way to enjoy a bit of Easter holiday fun with the smalls! Playing April the 16th – the 20th it’s running the exact same dates as Florence’s show at the Norwich Playhouse (The Sound of Music) meaning this time she missed out on seeing The Worst Witch but Jimmy and I attended press night and can […]
