Why do we repeatedly choose Pizza Express for our special celebrations? (And for the not so special but we just fancy a meal out as a family?) Well, because they do it SO well that’s why! They cater for adults of course but they also cater for children in a way which makes them feel grown up and special. Often times restaurants can be a fraught experience with little ones but at good old Pizza Express they never are. We […]
Peppa Pig is one of those shows that even as an adult we can find enjoyment in don’t you think? I mean I actually think it’s really funny on occasions and many a time have got sucked into an episode or 12… My fave one has always been the one where they go into Granny and Grandpa Pig’s attic and find Mummy Pig’s old record player – woof tweet! The children have both loved Peppa Pig since they were small, have […]
Hands up who knows what A.I is? No, not that terrible film with Hayley Joel whatsit, what WAS his name? You know, terribly odd behind the eyes and a little bit disturbing… Well, not that anyway… Nope, something a touch more embarrasing I’m afraid. A.I = Adult Incontinence. Now, when you’ve had a baby who produced a pretty horrendous tear then subsequently half the East End of London’s medical profession staring up your ‘you know what’ it’s kind of hard […]
Do you know what? I may not be a terribly laid back person in general (high mantenance is what my husband calls it) but I do think I’m an easy going and lenient parent when it comes to most things… I try to see things from their point of view and remember how I felt when I was little. I also try very hard to just be a bit cool and not embarrass them in front of their friends – I […]
Schools up and down the country are always looking for new ways to challenge and motivate their students, as strict curriculums and heavy testing can weigh down on self confidence and motivation. My children went to a school in London which had an outstanding Ofsted report but it was very conformist and there wasn’t much room for thinking outside the box. Their new school i Norfolk is much more free thinking and when Jimmy goes into reception in September he […]
Life with kids isn’t always easy, when you’re not spending fun days out together, making memories in the garden at the weekend or enjoying cuddles in bed on a Sunday morning you might be worrying about the costs that come with raising a child as you attempt to juggle a mortgage, utility bills and the expense of a car. With two children of my own who both enjoy extra lessons for football coaching, ballet, gymnatics as well as Uke club, I […]
I love salads which is obviously perfect for this time of year but actually, I eat them all year round. People tend to think of them as summer dishes only but why limit yourself I say? I tend to just add healthier dishes like vegan baked potato in the colder months so that I get that warm filled feeling but I absolutely wouldn’t say no to a great salad at any time of the year! Sainsbury’s recently go in contact with me […]
On Saturday we had a most unexpected day because although we knew we were headed to London for the premiere screening of Digby Dragon (a new show to Nick Jr. which launches at 4.30pm today – 4th July) we didn’t know that we were going to spend the whole day there until the last minute. When I told a friend that we were London bound she told me that Florence’s old Girl’s Brigade were meeting in the Olympic Park for […]
I’ve been using my Amazon Fire Stick for a year now and I have to say it’s one of the best gadgets we have in the house. It’s tiny for starters (no bigger than most memory sticks) and it lets me view everything I want to watch on my not so smart bedroom television. It’s SO good in fact that my Mum, never a lover of gadgetry, bought herself one too and now we are going to give Florence her […]
Having a baby is the most beautiful thing in the world and when you have that little bundle of joy in your arms for the first time the world is perfect and you just want to block out anything that might come and break that little bubble. Life changes in that instant, for the better but life changes for the forever and you suddenly become a very different person. That little baby becomes your world and everything you think about or […]
