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 […]

Pensthorpe Natural Park – Easter 2019! I blooming LOVE Pensthorpe Natual Park and have done ever since the first time we visited when Florence was a baby. Probably no bigger than Raffie is now I remember her having the most brilliant day and actually, I just have so many memories of the big two enjoying this place all weathers you’d think we visit all the time though we haven’t actually been for ages and not since Raffie was born – […]

Roarr Dinosaur Adventure – Egg-cellent Easter! When we visited Roarr in February we’d not been for a really long time and much had changed meaning we had absolutely no idea that the park was so brilliant these days! We actually can get in half price with our annual Banham Zoo passes (bit of a perk) yet hadn’t made use of that offer and I decided that we absolutely must do so going forwards – especially when the weather picks up […]

Play-Doh Fun At Sea Life Center – WIN A Family Ticket! When we were at sea Life London a few weeks ago the children took great delight in sitting down in the Play-doh activity area which was set up as a special activity for February half term and when we heard that Play-Doh would be bringing their fun to other Sea Life centres around the country we knew it was going to be a winner to visit one of the […]

My First Circus: The Littlest Mermaid! We have loved the ‘My First’ performances that we’ve seen in the past so when we were invited to see My First Circus: The Littlest Mermaid at The Garage for their press opening today we had to say a big fat yes please – even with the big kids in tow! I wasn’t concerned that the age range is suggested for 2 – 6 because I knew that Raffie adored the show at Christmas […]
