Munchkin bath toys are really cool. I’ve always thought that and we’ve been very lucky to have been sent quite a few in the past for us to review. One of my favourites is the Star Fountain which works amazingly well and blows out water in a really satisfying way! Loads of toys that say they will work in such a way just fall short of fulfilling their purpose and are a decided disappointment, not so with that one and […]

Florence is a new but MASSIVE fan of Doc McStuffins. It took her all of about 5 minutes to fall in love with the programme which has, shock horror, taken over from Peppa Pig even! I guess it was bound to happen at some point and she does still like Peppa but she’s growing up so something like Doc McStuffins had to be on the cards soon! When I first watched it with her I wasn’t that keen and Jonny […]

My lovely friend from The Mummy Adventure has written me another guest post, the darling that she is! If you read her last guest post for me then you will know that she is a bit of a buggy fanatic like me and it’s because of this that I trust her judgement on buggies implicitly! This is a great post then if you’re in the market for buying a Graco Sky! See what Becky thought of this buggy and I […]

When I was pregnant with Jimmy everyone kept saying things like ‘You MUST want a boy’! I remember thinking that was so incredibly strange? Why MUST I want a boy? Just because I had a girl already? Yes, I had a girl already but I loved and love having a girl. If I’d had another girl I’d have loved having another one too… I know that. In fact, given the choice back then and I probably would have plumped for […]

My sister-in-law is awesome. She’s a wonderful writer, very, very witty and a brilliant friend too. She writes Workitmamma, her fabulously funny blog about life as a working Mummy to my nephew Arthur and she very kindly agreed to write something for me and my blog while I am on holiday! Here it is: When the Bank Holiday loomed ahead I wanted to plan lots of trips and outings to various places. For several reasons it wasn’t to be and I […]

Everyone who knows me knows that I am a bit buggy mad and always have been. I wrote a whole post recently about why I love buggies so much and how my obsession started at a very early age. It seems I’m not the only! A lovely blogger and friend of mine, Mummy Adventure, has written a superb guest post for me all about her passion for buggies and the ones she likes best! Great to see the Bugaboo Donkey […]

I don’t often have anything good to say about insurance but… This week my Mother-in-law put petrol in her rather expensive and fairly new Land Rover which takes diesel…We grimaced with her as she realised what she had done when the car wouldn’t start and I’ve never seen my Father-in-law sink a beer quicker than he did that afternoon as we waited for the recovery vehicle to pick it up – well, no one was driving obviously so a beer […]

My feet ache and the children are over wrought with tiredness. It was a long day of being out yesterday and I, the woman who loves a day out, a theme park in particular, have to say it was entirely not worth it! We visited Chessington World Of Adventures yesterday for the second year in a row. I remember going as a child and loving it but last year I was distinctly underwhelmed. I found it to be too big, too […]

Our favourite food is ‘bit’s as we call it. A little bit of this and a little bit of that… Some olives and ham, crisps probably and maybe some dips… We just love that style of eating and Bento, a traditional way of serving food in japan, is perfect for us as it’s lots of little bits portioned up individually and put together as one box of bits! Lovely! It’s also a fab way of feeding children as lots of […]
