Florence is learning how to read and write. She may still only be three years old but her nursery is attached to the school we hope she’ll go to and they put a lot of emphasis on learning as well as play. She is well ahead of the game and when it comes to reading and writing, having that new code unlocked for the very first time, I think early can only be a good thing! They do have lots […]
On Sunday we had a long day in London doing lots of fabulous things! We went to the cinema, the theatre and saw the Christmas lights in the West End. It was a lovely family day and to end the fun we decided to have dinner in Garfunkel’s in Leicester Square. I don’t usually eat out in central London with the children on account of the fact that I find lots of restaurant unfriendly, expensive and not particularly great quality. […]
Anyone here ever heard of Ellen…well she used to have her own show way way way back in the day but you might also remember her as the voice of Dory in Finding Nemo. Well apparently, she’s had her own talk show for a while now and it’s quite popular across the pond. If you go on Youtube, you’ll find loads of snippets from her show. From the look of things, she is really good at sharing other people’s videos […]
On Sunday I got to do something VERY exciting with Florence! We got to be members in one of the very first UK screenings of the new Disney film ‘Frozen’! It’s not even out until 6th December so we felt very privileged to be invited! We arrived outside the cinema in London’s Leicester Square to much excitement, flashing lights from the press cameras and lots of snow! And guess what else was there to meet us and greet us into […]
Playing real out and about Monopoly with my Bugaboo Bee again this week and I managed to land on FIVE squares… I didn’t get a whole set this time unfortunately, I landed on one I already own and seem to owe a bit of rent to Family Four Fun but never mind! She and her Bugaboo Frog landed on one of these squares a couple of weeks ago and Tweeted me the evidence so I can’t really get out of […]
In the run up to Christmas I’m doing lots of festive things with the children but when I was invited to join a Warner Bros Studio Tour of ‘Hogwarts In The Snow’ it didn’t even occur to me to take Florence. At nearly four I assumed she’d probably be too little (although she is a fan of Harry Potter) and it was in the evening so instead I took my mega fan friend Sam! Sam’s been on the tour not […]
I found myself saying this about another buggy brand the other day and now I’m saying it again; the Dutch sure do know how to make a great buggy! Why? I’ve no idea! But they do. I love buggies and I have to say that if I know they are designed in Holland then I can be pretty certain they’ll be good. Nuna, who are new to me actually, are no exception it seems. Yesterday I went along to have […]
This week a friend of mine announced some super exciting news! Some news which I have been privy to for a few weeks already. She is expecting a baby come the end of May and I just want to say a massive congratulations to her in my own style which is, of course, on my blog! This person is very special to me. I have known her for 22 years. That’s an awfully long time you know and it makes […]
I can’t believe it’s that time of year again! Somerset House has opened its ice rink and for us this signals the start of our festive activities before Christmas! I’m sure it’s a tad earlier than last year but hey, we’re not complaining! More time means more fun things to fit in before the big day and as you may know if you read my blog regularly, we do love to fit lots of activities in! We would ALWAYS, ALWAYS, […]
I met my best friend Evie last night for a pre theatre drink. We were off to see a show and we knew we wouldn’t be able to sit through anything without chattering if we didn’t have a catch up first! When it was time to leave and hit the Shaftesbury Theatre for ‘From Here To Eternity’ we felt a little like we didn’t really want to go after all… We could barely drag ourselves away from our conversation and […]
