Get A Square Meal When Visiting Ireland! I love to travel but sadly haven’t spent enough time in Ireland. I went once to Dublin on a hen do which if I’m honest was not up my street. I’m not really a bar crawl kinda gal and with the rest of the party wanting to drink till dawn and then eat in fast food chains I removed myself and di my own thing. Bit boring perhaps but you know what? I […]
The Snowman – Sadlers Wells 2023! As far as Christmas traditions go, making Raymond Brigg’s “The Snowman“, a Sadlers Wells production staged at The Peacock Theatre in London, one of yours is always going to be a good idea! It’s simply magical and no matter how many times we see it, we never tire. The magic of Raymond Briggs’s tale on stage set to a ballet theme is something truly special which leaves you feeling like you really are “walking […]
Colonel Saab Trafalgar Square! When you think of a family friendly restaurant the automatic through is of fast food, something cheap and easy, nothing particularly special. Thing is, while those sorts of joints can and do often work for us, we do also really like our children and want to sample a little of the high life with them too. Why not? Introducing them to a little culture and bit more of a treat when it comes to eating out […]
BeWILDerwood Presents Christmas! We’ve been visiting BeWILDerwood since Florence was teeny tiny, so now that she’s nearly fourteen we’ve seen lots of things grow with the park while it still keeps its same charm. There’s no flashing lights at BeWILDerwood, nothing mechanical (except from the boat of course) and with the woods as the backdrop being the inspiration for Tom Blofeld’s novels about the Boggles and Twiggles of BeWILDerwood, now, the stories are the inspiration for the very naturally set […]
Free Tyre Fitting When Purchasing Tyres On Ebay From 1st-7th December 2023! If you’re like me then anything car related is a little of a mystery when it comes to thinking outside of how much petrol costs and getting from A-B. My car has 7 seats, we all fit in it, it works (mostly) and I’m absolutely lost without it yet anything technical that may need attention, anything physical that may need looking at and I’m utterly clueless. To give […]
Can family photography provide a way to help our children’s self-esteem? As parents, we continuously grapple with how to protect our children’s mental health and self-esteem, an increasingly tricky proposition given the external pressures they face. However, we do have the power to ensure they feel loved and experience positive mental health at home. One remarkably effective habit is photo therapy. This method involves the use of family photographs and videos to foster a sense of belonging and reinforce family […]
My First – The Night Before Christmas! The My First production of the season, The Night Before Christmas has launched and is now in full swing until December the 31st at Norwich venue The Garage (a stone’s throw from Chapelfield Gardens) where your little ones can enjoy perhaps their first taste of live theatre in an immersive production which, as they always offer, a setting which is inviting, non frightening and doesn’t mean they have to sit on their bottoms […]
Thursford Enchanted Journey Of Light! People flock from all around the country to see the Thursford Christmas Spectacular. We’ve seen it before and it is a real treat, simply stunning for older children and adults and being somewhat of an institution I wasn’t surprised to meet a lady in my gym yesterday morning who was on a coach trip from up North to kick off her Christmas traditions with a performance. We chatted about the fact we were both visiting […]
Wroxham Barns – Christmas 2023! I always do say how wonderful I think Wroxham Barns is, and for their 2023 Christmas Experience offering my opinion is firmly cemented. They go ALL OUT, at ALL times of the year, but Christmas is something else! Raffie couldn’t decide at Halloween if he prefers spooky season or festive on the farm, “they’re both TOO good!” he said, but now that we’re steam rollering to Christmas, with just one month to go, having visited […]

This week I’m able to tell you a little more in depth about some of them after we’ve been busy playing at home with a selection so that you can make all the right choices […]
