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 […]

Newmarket Summer Saturday Family Race Days! Last year we discovered that Newmarket racecourse, though on the face of it just for adults, actually has a lot on offer for families! We absolutely loved the family race day as part of their Summer Saturdays programme that we attended and this year went back for more of the same with their Schools Out for Summer race day to celebrate breaking up for the holidays! As with lots of their family days during […]

Norwich Castle and Viking Legend For Summer! I talk about it ALL the time but the family annual passes for Norfolk Museums are stuff of legends – for under £100 a family of 2 adults and as many kids as you have can have access to all ten museums in the Norfolk Museums fleet (including Norwich Castle) for 12 months! What’s even better is that the annual pass will also afford you entry to the museums on special days which usually cost […]

I recently was introduced to the lovely Victoria Green who makes absolutely stunning wash bags, make up bags, vanity cases as well as gifts and was totally drawn to the lovely leopard print that she uses. The colours are all so vivid and though some of them are traditional, others are very avant garde, they all have something bright on them with a trim to contrast and draw the eye! I was very kindly sent a ‘Emma’ hanging wash bag […]

Bathing Solutions! When it comes to having foresight and looking after yourself in the future my Mum is on it like cheese on toast and always has been… There’s a few things she’s thinking about changing in her house right now so that it’s all a bit more manageable for later on and that’s JUST like my Mum I have to say… Whether its low maintenance-ifying her garden, getting the right insurance for every eventuality or even just changing up […]

My First Play: A Mid Summer Night’s Nap! I really love the ‘My First’ theatre company with The Garage, Norwich. They offer such inviting, immersive and colourful theatre for tiny tots and we always try to go and see them when we can. The panto is always a highlight but on a day like today with temperatures in the 30s, it feels like a long time ago that we stood chilly in the foyer afterwards looking at the listings for […]
