Music has the power to stir up memories, make you feel passionate or elated and ultimately share these emotions with the one you love. This is why it’s so important to feature the right music at your wedding from the music played while guests wait for the bride to arrive at the ceremony to the dance floor to encourage people to get up and dance. The music you play on your big day is just as important as your engagement […]

If you’ve been reading my blog lately then you’ll have noticed a bit of a Pizza Express theme! I’ve been working on a project with Katy from Modern Mummy and a great gang of other bloggers to show just how wonderful the restaurant is for families to dine out in. We all went to our local restaurants to review a family meal along with the new menu (you MUST try the Hawaiian, my WORD it’s good!) and then we ran a Twitter party […]

Colour is an important influence in our lives, as different shades evoke certain feelings and even memories. But have you considered its importance especially you’re trying to sell your house fast? Certain colours can help your property when potential buyers are viewing, so it’s essential you consider your palette carefully. People want colour to be pleasing to the eye, so pastel shades and lighter colours will always go down well. There’s psychology behind certain colours, as blue shades create feelings […]

Last night, as I was removing books from our shelf to make room for the decorator, I found my Camp Bestival photobook from the summer of 2014. It took me back in a nostalgic wave to the moment we discovered family festival life and all the glory that comes with it and made me even more excited that, for the third year running, we are all set to hit Lulworth Castle again this year as oficial 2016 Camp Bestival bloggers! […]

To celebrate the start of the weekend we have a little tradition of a Friday night movie. I usually pick the film and then we all settle down in front of the TV and fire for a retro classic accompanied by treats like Pizza and popcorn! We started doing it while we were waiting to move and Jonny often wouldn’t be home in time meaning it was just me and the little ones. We had lots of fun but now […]

We spent a couple of days in London with good friends last week and at the end of our trip we were supposed to round it off with a trip to the Ballet. Unfortunately we had to cut our trip a little jaunt short due to commitments at home and missed this pinnacle to our stay; we felt even more sorry for it when we read our good friend Katy’s (from Modern Mummy) review of the show. Luckily for us the […]

In the world of crumpets, Warburtons have hit the nail on the head with their giant versions. A way to make you FEEL like you’re only eating one while still making you FEEL like you’ve eaten enough crumpet (actually, there’s probably never enough crumpets but you catch my drift)! Bigger is definitely better when it comes to those yummy warm treats which are so delicious served sweet but equally as yummy eaten as a savoury dish! And the brand HAS to […]

Internet safety is most certainly something which crosses my mind every day. I’m a blogger, a lot of my life, including that of my family, is on line and I am careful with the things I do. But that’s me. That’s my lookout for myself and I’m an adult, I’m capable, I think. I’m not sure however, that I’d thought much about my children looking after themselves on-line too. I mean they’re very young and at this stage they don’t […]

We were in London last week with Katy from Modern Mummy in search of some very special things to do as tourists in our capital (as families) for the first time. Both Katy and I are ex London dwellers so to be visiting as tourists doesn’t come naturally and it was a strange feeling taking a tour of the Globe and looking at London with fresh eyes. As a Londoner we rush past the beauty and awe of the city […]

It’s the Easter holidays and usually we would be in London moving and shaking, nipping about on the tube, frequenting our favourite museums and having entertainment for free or next to nothing on tap. Obviously since we moved to Norfolk things are a bit different and although we are loving our new life in the country, we do miss some of the amazing things on offer in the capital. Don’t get me wrong, there are amazing things for children to do […]
