5 Family Games For Christmas Day! When the stockings are done, the turkey eaten and everyone is in a bit of a food coma, we like to bring out the family games for a bit of reviving and livening before we do our big presents. Father Christmas usually brings us a couple of presents under the tree that are board games so we might open these and play them as well as some old favourites! It’s a great mood livener […]

Dearest My Little Loves, The year has vanished while we’ve been having fun – it’s true what they say about time going fast when you do! I remember thinking just enjoy this moment, just enjoy this moment every time Raffie did something new, not wanting the moments to end but they did and he has grown so much over the past six months it kills me thinking did I enjoy all the moments enough?! I enjoyed them, just so much […]

Stick Man Live – 2019! We’ve seen Stick Man Live in the West End a fair few times but we will always go back for more because it’s one of the best! In fact, it might be my actual favourite of the season when it comes to theatre experiences for children. I’d go a long way to see this show and hear those songs (you can’t buy a CD would you believe, they need them on Spotify NOW for we […]

The London Transport Museum Festive Season 2019! Massive fans of The London Transport Museum that we are we visit whenever we can when in London. It’s easy to drop in for a couple of hours and combine it with something else that we’ve been doing in town as the annual tcket price is exactly the same as a day ticket and very, very reasonable indeed. When buying tickets simply ask them to make it annual and for just £16.50 (if […]

Wroxham Barns – The Santa Experience! Ooh it’d been a few years since we’d visited to Wroxham Barns but I’m so glad that we rectified that little misdemeanor and had a taste of farm life with them today, just in time to enjoy their Santa Experience! I’m not entirely sure why it’s been off my radar for so long as it’s just down the road, inexpensive to access and the kiddos love a bit of farm action. But it’s firmly […]

My First Panto – Rapunzel At The Garage, Norwich! It was said yesterday that we are part of the ‘My First’ series of productions family now because we’ve reviewed so many of their shows – I feel incredibly honoured. All In Productions who are Norwich based (but create these productions all over the world) are a stunning company who advance wonderful, immersive theatre experiences for children that rival any I have seen in London – the first time I saw […]

The Snowman 2019! The Snowman at Sadlers Wells is back for 2019 and just as darling as ever. We’ve been every year since Florence was about 5 years old and I have to say now that the season just simply wouldn’t be the same without it. The Snowman by the Birmingham Repertory Theatre is quite unlike any other children’s theatre that we have ever seen offering a sophistication in the genre of ballet, yet somehow managing to translate for the […]

Christmas At Shrek’s Adventure! Shrek’s Adventure on the South Bank in London has had a touch of a festive makeover and a very special guest has set up camp for the season of fun, frolics, ginger bread men and good will to all men. Now when you visit, after taking a trip to Far, far away, battling with Rumple Stiltskin, meeting all your fave characters from Shrek and rescuing the green ogre himself as you laugh out loud on your […]

Willows Activity Farm – Santa Spectacular 2019! I don’t even know how many times we’ve been to Willows Activity Farm in St Albans but I do know that you can never have too many days out there, and I also know that even when we moved from East London (a half an hour’s drive to the farm) to Norwich (a 2 hour drive to Willows) I was not prepared to give up our visits. It’s a shame that we no […]
