For anyone that thinks children’s theatre is just a little introduction and nothing much to be thought of, they need to see Peter Pan at Polka! This portrayal of the classic story by J.M Barrie is super sophisticated, super dark and super enjoyable for not just the little ones but for the adults too! We went to see a ‘Watch With Baby’ showing as the advised age is 6+ but not a peep could be heard from any of the […]

I am really, very, extra specially lucky with my friends. I have some absolutely stunning ones and one of them is called Carly. I stalked her at my antenatal class because I knew instantly that I wanted her to be my friend and luckily, she didn’t mind too much, took pity on me and friends we became. Even in the beginning, when all we’d done was have a coffee and a chat, we were good friends. It’s somehow sometimes like […]

I’ve recently come across a new baby-carrying company called Rockin’ Baby. New to the UK, they are such a fantastic brand and I can’t wait to try one out! What’s so lovely about Rockin’ Baby is that for every sling or pouch sold, they are donating another one to a mother in need in Haiti or Kenya. They are also educating the mothers on the importance of holding their baby close which, in difficult conditions, can improve their child’s life. […]

Florence is very particular when it comes to her clothes and sometimes, because I am very particular for her outfits too, this can cause a bit of a problem. She won’t wear something if she doesn’t like it and although I see her point of view, occasionally the things she DOES like are a bit more ‘diamonte’ than I would ideally choose… She does however (much to my relief) like lots of the things I DO want her to wear so every […]

Christmas is always an expensive time of year, especially if you’ve got a growing family. The lists for Father Christmas get bigger every year, as those TV ads work their magic on the kids and they suddenly want things they’d never even heard of before – which always makes the toy look far more exciting than it will real life. by  Ron Cogswell  So, as your bank account is being drained on a daily basis, it’s a good idea to hold […]

There are just some movies that you will always remember and always want to watch again. For us, at the moment, they seem to be family movies. The ones we saw at the cinema and loved and then NEEDED to see again and again. We went to the premiere of Frozen, I know, lucky! And it has kind of become more than a movie to us over the past year which sounds funny but it’s true. Because we love the […]

Florence has been a fan of Minnie Mouse (and Mickey) ever since we went to Euro Disney when she was 20 months old We got on the Eurostar and she’d never been introduced but by the time we hit Paris she was well and truly versed!. She has a few Minnie Mouse toys from Matte and she is particularly keen on her little shop (the Bow-tique) with a small Minnie Mouse character. My Mum also bought her a bigger Minnie Mouse […]

Pokemon is something I have heard of before but only in a rather fleeting and not really understanding way. I have two little brothers who ten years ago made mention of it and from then on I’ve been vaguely aware that it’s some sort of computer game and that also you can buy merchandise… To say I’m a Pokemon novice is rather fair I’d say… It is, however, so popular that there are merchandise and trading cards, like those you […]
