Discover Newmarket At Palace House And The National Stud For 2019! Last summer we attended the opening of Summer Saturdays for Newmarket Racecourses and absolutely loved it! We had delicious food and got really into the races placing substantial bets of about £1 on each one – ha ha! I mean we were never going to win (or lose) much but that wasn’t the aim of the game for us, it was about having some family fun and I’m not […]

9 Family Friendly Places to Travel to on Your Next Holiday As the winter months finally start to draw to a close and summer doesn’t seem quite so far away, you might be starting to think about where to go on your next family holiday. If you’re looking to try something different, it can be difficult to decide on a new destination that will be child friendly and provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere, which is why many families end […]

Money Pinch! Working freelance like I do is all a bit precarious at times, especially come the end of the financial year when client budgets are spent and tumbleweed rolls around the inbox… Talking to friends of mine in a similar boat I know they all feel the pinch too – it’s a game of breath holding and hopefully, come spring, things will pick up. On the one hand it’s great working for yourself while being your own boss for so […]

The London Science Museum For February Half Term 2019! Ooh we love The Science Museum in London, it’s one of the things I actually miss about living in the capital actually. It was nowhere near where we were in Leytonstone, in fact it was a real mission to get to as it was completely the other side for us and the tube station… Well, let’s just say South Kensington is NOT the best for buggy pushers but man that place is special and […]

Micro Motorz By HTI! There’s a brand new collectible on the block in the form of new Micro Motorz by HTI – they had their official launch at a public opening in Westfield’s Stratford City this weekend and we were among some of the lucky few to get a very early sneak peek before the doors opened to the public! Over breakfast we watched the children go Micro Motorz mad for this new sure to be sensation and jimmy in […]

The London Transport Museum Over Half Term! A week or so ago I wrote about all the fun things the London Transport Museum has on offer for this February half term and yesterday the kiddos and I set off for a day of fun in London which saw us first at a press launch, secondly at the Science museum and lastly, because we couldn’t not go and see for ourselves, checking out their holiday offerings for ourselves! We just love […]

Three Years In The Country! It was three year’s ago to the day that we moved back to Norfolk. Upped and left E11 with damp eyes and worries that life wouldn’t ever feel quite so sweet again. I loved living in Leytonstone you see, and being in London. I enjoyed so much that our beautiful capital city has to offer and really made the most of being there. I thought leaving would kind of be one of the worst things […]

Time changes when you have a baby.  Everyone tells you ‘they grow up so fast’, which is true, but actually ALL time goes so fast.  I went back to work on the 2nd January, and it was as if I’d been on holiday for a fortnight, not 13 months of maternity leave.  It’s mostly because we’re having fun, and partly because life is so hectic.  I think back to my pre-baby days, times when I used to think I was […]

Calendar Girls The Musical Come To Norwich Theatre Royal! I last saw Calendar Girls the Musical in London when I was pregnant with Raffie although I’m sure it was called simply ‘The Girls‘ back then. I got a bit confused wondering if it was going to be the same script, music and have quite the same magic or if perhaps it was an entirely different production altogether but I have since come to the conclusion that I either got the […]

London Transport Museum – February Half Term! I frequently talk about the London Transport Museum on my stories as it’s just the most brilliant place to pop into when in town with the kids. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, this is one of the best value tickets going in London as a day pass IS in fact an annual and to make things even better you won’t have to pay a singal penny for the kiddos.
