Friday Night Treat Tea – Bonfire Night Theme! I think it’s safe to say Raffie was a little concerned about having a sparkler in his drink but how could you do a fireworks and bonfire theme for Friday Night Treat Tea without one?! He did, however, LOVE the bonfire of tomato soup in a mini souffle bowl complete with the candle providing the fire and the wood in the form of toasted cheese and ham sandwiches and bread sticks. And […]
Tomy Toomies Peppa’s House Bath Playset! What to buys for a one year old at Christmas is a bit of a dilemma as they’re super little still and probaby not all that tuned into the festive season. It’s nice to have presents to open but in my opinion it’s a bit silly going overboard on gifts for someone who is too little to appreciate massive money being spent, doesn’t need it and would be overwhelmed by lots of new things […]
Stick Man Live 2022! We’ve been to see Stick Man Live a LOT of times, but we would always, always, ALWAYS go back because we love it SO much! I remember going with friends when the big two were tiny and they said they could totally imagine they’d still be seeing this show even when the kids were grown up and didn’t want to go anymore. To be fair, I can’t imagine anyone growing out of it so I suspect […]
A Halloween Packed Lunch! It will come as no surprise to know that I’m a fan of a themed packed lunch – I love fun food after all and when the boys had to go back to school for Halloween, after a half term build up to it, i couldn’t help myself. I used some of the things I had left over from the party we had and others I made especially for the day! I got a kick out […]
A Halloween Party! When it comes to a Halloween party I do tend to stick to the same formula, lots of games which are the tricks for the kids to compete and take part in, in order to win the treats which are the prizes! Sweets and little bits essentially that they can add to their treat bags as we go! This year we played: Flour game: Make a castle of flour using a bowl for the mould and place […]
Halloween Half Term 2022! We went into half term with Posie falling foul to the sickness bug her sister and brothers had before her and unfortunately had to cancel the first of our plans which was friends coming to stay for the weekend. They are lovely friends however, and they came to see us just for lunch out while Gram did a bit of babysitting. Still not quite ourselves on the Sunday we just mooched about, Florence went to a […]

Fairground Frights At Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach! From the 26th of October to the 30th Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach will once again be transformed from its usual family friendly tourist attraction of rides, smiles and ice creams to the fright night shennanigans which have put it very firmly on the map for Halloween half term in Norfolk. Five whole nights of ghoulish fun and frolics with the back drop of the fun fair and a whole host of scares. We’ve […]
Friday Night Treat Tea – Halloween Theme! We missed a week due to the school disco and timings but sent ourselves into Halloween half term with a Halloween themed Friday Night Treat Tea! It was going to be way more epic with a bubbling cauldron of cheese fondue but sadly a sickness bug took over most of the household so the treat was only for one and I had no energy. I cobbled together a pumpkin shaped cheese on toast, […]
