In a couple of month’s time it will be Jimmy’s birthday and i’m busy planning what to do. We will be having a teddy bear’s picnic for his party, a Gruffalo tea party at home for just us and I also want to do a family day out like last year. Last year we went to Drusillas Park in Alfriston. We were on holiday near by but actually it’s not too bad to get to from London and it was […]
Florence is a BIG fan of Lalaloopsy. At Lollibop last year it was hard to get her out of the Lalaloopsy tent and do anything else and when she was given one to bring home in the press tent she was beyond thrilled! She plays with her dolly all the time and I have to admit, unusual as it is, I rather like it too. Lalaloopsy has just brought out a new range of toys, Silly Singers, Ponies and Baby […]
It has come to my attention that a lot of bloggers look down their noses at those of us who partake in sponsored posts. I don’t know why anyone would have an aversion to someone else making some money but apparently sometimes they do. I have heard it said that if some people come across a post which has been paid for they won’t read it and I don’t know why for that either? Apparently they wouldn’t lower themselves to […]
I live in a Victorian terrace conversion flat. We have the upstairs part of the house which would have been beautiful as a complete home but as a flat is challenging when it comes to space. The rooms aren’t really the right size and don’t go with each other because, well, it’s really only half a house, only intended to ever be half a house and as an upstairs I’m sure it would have been fantastic. Our living room, which […]
So… Last week saw us sending a squirrel to jail on our giant real life game of Monopoly as we make our way round London with our wonderful Bugaboo Bee and today we have been and collected our Water Works property! You’ll simply never guess where we took the eye catching Andy Warhol Happy Bugs buggy today? Well… We took him to the Olympic Park for the press preview of the opening of the Aquatic Centre! He gets around that buggy doesn’t he! Here […]
How do you fancy swimming in a pool of champions? One of London 2012’s best-known venues opens its doors to the public on Saturday 1st March 2014 so the question does not pose a prospect you have to wait for and having seen it for myself, I have to say, as far as legacy goes… it’s a pretty great one! Today I had a sneaky peak at what the public have held in store for swimming in East London and […]
I love taking the children out to eat, a restaurant who can cater for little ones and not patronise them, or us as parents, is a fantastic experience and why shouldn’t they enjoy the ambiance of a restaurant? But… It’s not every establishment that gets it right with children, even if they try, really hard! Chicken nuggets and chips is, well, just not good enough thanks. I want my children to enjoy a similar level of food to that of […]
We are ever in search of that perfect sippy cup… I’m not sure if it actually exists? We’ve had some shocking ones in the past, some not too bad ones and occasionally some pretty decent ones really. The ones we’ve been trying out this week are in the latter category. Are they completely leak proof? Well, not 100% but it has taken a LOT of vigorous shaking to get some drips so in my eyes that’s pretty darn good! On […]
I have had a funny relationship with dummies. I started out absolutely not wanting Florence to have one because I couldn’t bear the way they look and then through exasperation one evening when she wouldn’t sleep, I tried one. She took it for about half an hour and that was that! Never again. I was gutted as the dummy had provided just a bit of a break that evening and I relentlessly tried to give her one afterwards but just […]
I’ve talked before about what a wonderful deal I think the Kids AM screenings are at Vue cinemas! We go lots and at £1.75 per person, adult or child, it’s easy to see why! The films are usually only a month or so after they came out and very rarely do we now ever take Florence to see anything if it’s not on the Kids AM. I’ll admit last week we did go to a special sing-along version of Frozen which […]
