For those with a love of animals, waking up on a farm or at a zoo could possibly be one of the most amazing experiences they’re ever likely to have. There are plenty of zoos and farms around the UK now that allow you to stay over for a night or two, just remember to pack suitable clothing as in some cases you can get hands on with the animals during your stay! Mens’ and womens’ jeans, (you’ll find great […]

Tom and Jerry, remember them? They were one of my faves when I was little and now they’re back! Saturday mornings on Boomerang (Sky channels 603 and 618 / Virgin Channels 730 and 731) see the two back on our screens with all the same madcap capers I remember when I was little! Tom and Jerry are back! They have changed a bit, Tom’s owner is different and I think they are slightly more PC than they used to be […]

When I had just had Florence I remember hardly ever sleeping! It was tough but I found ways to get through it and I loved my night time feeding viewing on the television! I only used to watch the ‘Sex and the City’ box sets, the film ‘Jack and Sarah’ (over and over for some reason) and good old QVC! And now, whenever I have a friend about to have a first baby I give them my best television advice for […]

I love Tiny Love products. All you have to do is take a look back on my blog to see it was the make of choice for me when my two were tiny; the way they make things is just a little bit different and just a little bit special you see. When Florence was a few weeks old she had a modelling job and in the green room that day was a Tiny Love play gym. She had one at […]

Asked would I like to review some cloth nappies, after telling everyone for as long as I can remember that I would NEVER use them, my initial response was no thank you. I have never liked the idea of them and ever since watching a friend bag one up, poo included, and pop it into her handbag for later, I was thoroughly convinced they were not for me. People say they flick the poo before they take the nappy home […]

We were shopping recently and saw a toy shop demonstrator making elastic band bracelets with a sort of loom. Florence was fascinated and eager to give it a try. The lady kindly sat down and showed Florence how to do it despite her not really being anywhere near the recommended age and I thought after a few minutes she would realise she was a little young and give up. As it happens it turns out she is actually more than […]

We joke in our house that a day out for Jimmy doesn’t really need to be much more than a ride on the tube. It’s almost true really as he loves the experience and enjoys going in and out of the tunnels. I think it’s a boy thing?! When it comes to the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) even Florence could spend all day going round and round on it. Heck, why not! It’s awesome and I love it too! It’s […]

Mastering the art of the roast dinner was something I didn’t find particularly easy. All the pots and pans and getting the timings right! I sometimes still do get it wrong when doing roast potatoes and parsips, the full shebang with all the trimmings! With my tiny oven there is usually something that ends up going cold and when you think about ALL that work followed by very little eating time to be concluded with masses of washing up, I […]

Yesterday the children and I were invited to a very special party before a very special screening to celebrate Postman Pat and his very special delivery service! We went to the WORLD PREMIERE of the (not released until 23rd May) Postman Pat movie! Us at the premiere! Not only did we get to see the film nearly two weeks prior to its general release but we got to walk down the red carpet with the stars as we went into […]

Last year we went to see Zippos circus and had a thoroughly brilliant time! We went for their press day at Easter and when we were invited again this year, having also seen them at Winter Wonderland in between, we were upset that the date clashed with a holiday and simply had to ask them if we could instead, come at a later date! They were very kind and said we could so Friday night I took the children to […]
