Red Letter Days – A Family Gift! Buying an experience gift has got to be the ultimate present if you ask me! My children have enough toys, enough clothes and they don’t need anything else material while the gift of making some amazing family memories is absolutely priceless! Except it really isn’t priceless when it comes to amounts of money. Red Letter Days offer an experience gifting service where you choose the experience and tailor it to your person while choosing exactly […]

Summer Holiday Diary – Week Three! We kicked off week three with a bit of a sickness bug passed from Florence to Raffie and spent the first day just looking after him and tag teaming with the other two. It’s been a pretty big week in general for Jonny but I’ll talk about that on another post and he’s been getting to enjoy some time at home with the children which has been amazing. We hosted an event at Gressenhall […]

Gressenhall Farm And Workhouse – Hooray For Horses And Once Upon A Time! Always fans of Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse (part of the Norfolk Museums bunch of ten) we have been there twice this holiday already and would happily go again! We are museum pass holders which means for an annual price of just under £100 my family of two adults and three children can visit as many of the Norfolk Museums fleet, as many times as we like, in 12 […]

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 […]
