Teletubbies came back to our screens with a mighty custard splat recently and we were lucky enough to have been invited to the all star (there’s some serious names lending heir voices to the all new Teletubbies! Jim Broadbent, Jane Horrocks and Fearne Cotton to name but a few) premiere at the end of last year so we got to have a taste of the new tubby life before anyone else! Florence, who thought she was probably way too old […]

We are massive fans of In The Night Garden in our house and it doesn’t really matter how old the children get they still want to see the live show every year! And see it every year we have,ever since Florence was 18 months old. The year before last I attempted to go without her, was going to take one of Jimmy’s little friends instead and assumed she felt too old for ITNG! But… When she heard the news she […]

Well, tha’s it. The holidays are officially over for us today and to say I’m blue would be a little bit of an understatement. HOW have the last two week’s flown by so quickly and more to the point, HOW am I going to pack our flat up for our move in less time than that going forwards?! We had an abolutely brilliant time over the festivities eating more than we should, drinking more than we should, spending more than […]

I’m sure you’ve all heard of #TheStyleProject run by Katy of Modern Mummy, Carissa from Little Likely Lads and Kara who writes Innocent Charms Chats! It started when Katy wanted to encourage people to get their style groove on for a ‘new year’ and ‘new them’ a couple of year’s ago and has grown and grown. The girl’s provide a hint for every day of the month which can then be interpretted any which way’s your flavour and to join in you simply post […]

I love Christmas Eve. It’s the best day of the year as far as I’m concerned. All the excitement happening as we speak, the anticipation of tomorrow palpable. Tomorrow is wonderful too of course but the waiting for it, the everything all to come… Well, you can’t beat it can you! I love it and after my drive with the kiddos from London to Norfolk to be with my Mum yesterday I finally feel I can relax now that it’s […]

Yesterday, for our annual festive get together with our friends at Modern Mummy, we kicked off the fun with a trip to see Peppa Pig live in her new show. Every year around this time I write about what’s new on stage from Peppa and every year I have lots to report as the creators do keep coming back with bigger and better ideas although after this latest offering I’m not sure how they will manage to top it! Peppa Pig’s […]

Last year, along with our broods, Katy from Modern Mummy and I had a lovely festive day out in London with lunch and some festive lights sight seeing. We decided that we’d make it a tradition and yesterday we took to the streets of central London for this year’s party! We kicked off with a trip to the theatre where we saw Peppa Pig’s Surprise (read my review here) and then had a look around Covent Garden, climbed on the […]

At the weekend we held Florence’s 6th birthday party ahead of her New Year’s Eve birthday. We decided, as we are leaving London, to make it a big blow out event and also hire the hall for a bit longer so that we could stay and have leaving drinks with friends. She chose a Wizard of Oz theme and we decorated ruby slipper cookies, had fancy dress, glitter tattoos by Interplay, hot dogs and chips in really cool wrapping I bought […]

I love Morrisons and over the weekend when we held Florence’s birthday party and our leaving London party I picked up some brilliantly priced booze for the occasion. I love their Prosecco which is on offer at £6 a bottle right now, or, if you can get hold of it for some brilliant wow factor they are selling magnums for £12 – so at no extra cost! Unfortunately my local didn’t have any of the magnums left so we made do […]

From the minute Florence first saw ‘Frozen’ she was absolutely hooked. I was lucky enough that through work as a professional blogger we were invited to the premiere and even thoguh we knew nothing of ‘Frozen’ that morning, from the instant it started, the magic had begun! Florence and her friend who had come with us had eyes that were lit up with Disney wonder and for the whole of that Christmas, despite only being able to find the song […]
