The Bowling House, Norwich – Review! It came up on my time hop this week that this time last year Jonny and I were off for a curry in order to try and GET THE BABY OUT! That’s the last evening we went out together sans children (outside the womb) – unless you can count a friend’s 40th where we turned up, ordered a drink and then immediately returned home when the Grandparents rang in a baby SOS – Raffie does NOT like to […]
Urbanears Launch Listen To Yourself with Tove Lo! Have you heard of Urbanears? What about Tove Lo? Well… At the risk of sounding very old indeed, I have to admit that I hadn’t on either front when a rather interesting sounding invitation dropped into my inbox this summer. I was with my sister and her friend who are both about to turn 18 and when I read it out they had both heard of Urbanears (‘Oh yes’ said my sister ‘I have […]
Tui Family All Inclusive Holiday To Menorca – Rocknrollerbaby Travels! We just got back from a fortnight in the med with Tui (I know, lucky us) and are very definitely feeling a bit of holiday blues back in cold old Blighty! Our holiday was absolutely tremendous -and if you’re thinking about booking an all inclusive holiday with the company who say they ‘cross the t’s, dot the I’s and put U in the middle (Is that the best advertising slogan ever or […]
Suffolk is my neighbouring county and as I live over the side of Norfolk which borders with it we find ourselves visiting fairly frequently. There are lots of reasons you might want to give a Suffolk stay a try and if you choose a lovely little cottage somewhere like Beccles for your base then you’d be in a great location to do some exploring! Beccles is a historic market town with lots of lovely independent businesses and a wonderful cafe called […]
No one enjoys coming home from a holiday but perhaps I should have timed ours to not finish the minute the kids go back to school because I swear it’s ten times worse. We have had the most amazing summer and since I wrote about being half way through we have been on not one but TWO holidays back to back. I am so grateful and so lucky but also feeling quite emotional that the big two are back to […]
Dearest Raffie, You eleven months old, nearly one! How can this be?! The days, the weeks, the months… They have flown by and that’s because you are such a joy. Always happy and always so much fun! You beautiful baby boy how can you be eleven months old already?! You are now pulling yourself up to standing no longer content with the bum shuffle/leg drag! You want to walk but can’t quite do it yet although you do cruise just a […]
Back To School With Tum Tum Tots! Would I even be able to genuinely call myself a blogger if I didn’t write at least one post with the words ‘back to school’ in it?! I’m not, however, good at back to school for a number of reasons. 1) I’m not generally an organised person – I have grand ideas but I never manage to pull them off. It’s not me. I am the Mum ironing hems with my hair straighteners […]
Money… it is something we could all do with having more of, right? However, we tend to think that it is simply not possible unless we take on a second job or win the lottery! Both options seem unlikely. Plus, why should you have to work yourself into the ground for more money when you will have no time left to enjoy it? You don’t need to. Instead, you should look for savvy ways to save some cash on a […]
The Britax Romer Revolution Pro BOB – Review!I I’ve used lots of buggies in my time and when I’m finished working with one I usually give it away to someone deserving. I do however have my absolute favourites that I’d never be without although Jonny said recently that the number of those in that category had come to an end as far as he was concerned and any new ones that arrived had to be in and out the door as […]
You Can’t Grow An Old Friend – Thinkway Toys Buzz And Woody! That’s the saying isn’t it although I kind of think I’d like to disagree… I have been thinking about friendships ever since we agreed to review some new Toy Story toys (the new talking Buzz and Woody from Thinkway Toys at Smyths – which are excellent by the way and all in aid of celebration ahead of the new Toy Story film coming in 2019 AND you can […]
