5 months really?! But it’s like you’ve been here forever my darling and we just don’t remember (or want to) what life was like before you came. You are doing so many things now, laughing and I really feel that you talk to me even though the rest of the world would probably think me mad for suggesting it! You don’t roll over yet, I don’t put you down much to give you a chance, but you LOVE to play […]

Last week was the absolute dreamer when it comes to snow days off school. FOUR WHOLE DAYS! The kids were beside themselves but not quite as much as I was. You see I know that for some people it’s a bit annoying when school is closed but for me, I just bloody love it and consider it a bonus holiday. I never ever treat school like a free creche for my kids and I think if you don’t do that […]

A while back you might remember me going to the launch party for the new Quail stroller by Egg. It’s a little sister to the original Egg Stroller and though it owns many of the great features of the original it’s a more compact version perfect for City living! And a compact City friendly buggy is just what I’ve been after as though I live in the countryside and have a big buggy which perfectly suits my life there, I […]

Half term was just last week but already it feels like weeks ago… Why is it that when you’re having fun the time flies on by and when you’re bored it seems to take an age?! Not fair huh! As per usual I had my lot here, there and everywhere for the holiday and we had heaps of fun, I just wish I could have them out of school like that more often because a week simply isn’t enough! They were […]

Any ‘Friends’fan worth their salt will know exactly what a Paleontologist is and last week the kids and I got to try our hands at being one when we visited the Dinosaurs In The Wild exhibition currently on location at the Greenwich Peninsula. I call it an exhibition because I don’t know how else to name it but really it’s much more than that… Immersive experience? Perhaps that’s a better phrase… I don’t know but it’s blooming brilliant and left us with […]

If you follow me on Instagram then you will have seen my amazing rose gold bags from Mi-Pac about a million times. I got the swing bag back last summer and used it for everything, I get so many compliments about that bag and it’s one of my absolute favourites of all time ever. Then when I had Raffie I used the same colour and material in one of Mi-Pac’s weekender totes to pack all my bits to take to the hospital. […]

There’s no doubt that a day out in London can cost a pretty penny so I’m a massive one to shout about ways to save those purse strings from breaking open because London does have an amazing array of fabulously fancy free things to take advantage of with the kids as well. Most of the bigger museums have free entry and others a one off ticket price which will last the whole year so that you can re-visit. There are also […]

One of the fun things we did this half term was take a trip to the National Stud and Palace House (The National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art) in Newmarket. Discover Newmarket runs a number of tours around the UK Home of Horseracing and the family friendly National Stud and Palace House (and it really is family friendly) offers a really great day out for children.  I know, I wouldn’t have thought of it either but really and truly we just […]
