Last night I was invited to a very exciting party! After a major refurbishment, Mothercare’s flagship store on Oxford street was celebrating and weren’t we lucky that we got to help them do it! Hosted by Myleene Klass who designs their BabyK range it was an all star studded event with flashing lights, the whole caboodle! Myleene introduces the store. She also launched the Mothercare 25 sleeps campaign! Check out their Facebook page for festive fun and frolics! Florence and […]
Tonight I am off to the opening of the newly revamped Mothercare store on Oxford Street. It’s going to be terribly exciting with lots of celebrities, the biggest of whom being Father Christmas! Myleene Klass who designs the Baby K range for Mothercare will be hosting the evening and launching their 25 sleeps to Christmas campaign! If you have little impatient ones who can’t wait for the sleeps to be over then you need to keep an eye on the […]
A few weeks ago my Mum bought Florence a coat to keep at her house over the winter. My Mum often buys clothes and bits to keep at hers so that if we forget to bring stuff it doesn’t matter or just to help us with the packing. She’s really good like that and it’s always helped me out that I don’t have to pack masses of stuff! She doesn’t spend a fortune on things though and just picks up […]
The New Year is always a time for reflection and to start thinking about what you would like to do differently in the coming year. Many will make New Year’s resolutions with the intention of making a permanent change to an area of their lives. Deciding what to change in your life is no mean feat and something you might like to give some thought to before using the changing of the year to do something about it. Whilst there […]
Thomas and Friends are back with a brand new double DVD just in time for Christmas. Thomas and Friends: Merry Christmas Thomas and bonus DVD ‘Big Bang Surprise’ is out to buy on Amazon now and we’ve been watching for a festive Thomas review on the blog! The Island of Sodor turns snowy as these six festive episodes see the gang at Christmas time tell fun stories which will delight little Thomas fans! I love the traditional style of Thomas […]
Today has been an awful lot about cake! It won’t have done much for my waist line but it has been rather yummy and very festive all in one as I attended the BritMums Christmas do – What Christmas do is worth its salt without cake anyway? Before I even left I was thinking about cake and arranged this in the kitchen for ‘Daddy Day Care’ to make brownies with the children while I was out! Little did I know […]
Last year I wrote about the fabulous time we had at the Lyric Theatre when we went to see Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas on stage! It was truly superb and we have talked about it ever since. In fact, most times we mention Father Christmas Florence says ‘Do you remember when he did a poo at the theatre?’ (There is a fiercely funny scene you see!) We absolutely loved this interpretation of the well known story and we asked very […]
You certainly know Christmas had arrived in London when Winter Wonderland open their gates for the first time each year! Hyde park goes from its usual quiet self to a twinkling, festive hub and visitors flock from all around the country to see the spectacular! For the past two years we were lucky enough to be invited to opening night and this year we were thrilled to be asked again! We adored it the first time and although we weren’t […]
Last week we very briefly went to see the new Clarks shoes range for Spring/Summer 2014! It was a flying visit at the end of a very long day and we didn’t spend long but we did see some pretty cool children’s shoes! I was always under the impression (from memories of my own childhood) that Clarks are stuffy, unfancy and definitely VERY brown and clumpy… It seems time has moved on and I never noticed though because the children’s […]
I understand why brands invite journalists and bloggers to see their upcoming collections so far in advance but I still find it really odd actually seeing it! In July for example we were out most days seeing Christmassy things! It’s super fun but totally strange all the same to walk into a hotel from the scorching heat outside and be faced with tinsel and Christmas nibbles! It really makes you feel a bit unbalanced but we loved it and fully […]
