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, […]
Pokemon! My brothers are ten year’s younger than me, so before having children I had a little insight into what parenting small children was all about. I was more of a cool auntie than a sister by the time they were little boys and in my role as half adult (which I took very seriously), I was often able to provide them a cool present in a way an older sibling often isn’t. There was a phase when they were […]
The First Half Term 2022! While this first half term at school has gone by in a flash, it’s also felt super tough at times. I struggled a lot with Raffie going to school and still am. He feels too little and the time he spent as a pre-schooler feels like it was robbed with COVID so I’m sort of mourning the fact he’s not at home with me anymore on many levels. He is very happy to be at […]
London Transport Museum – October Half Term: Secrets Of The City! When we lived in London we visited the London Transport Museum usually at least once a week. The great thing about this place is that kids go FREE and once you buy an adult ticket (currently £21 for peak entry and £18.50 off peak – off peak is term time and summer holidays only after 2pm) it counts as an annual meaning you can visit unlimited times for a […]
Get 15% Off At The Tartan Blanket Company! It’s no secret that we are mega fans of The Tartan Blanket Company and while I have been lucky enough to work with them on gifted campaigns in the past, I am also a customer. Most recently they afforded me a little discount to treat my friend to one of their beautiful blanket scarves for her birthday and now they’ve extended the kind offer of money off to my readers too! For […]
October 2022 At Pensthorpe! We love ALL the seasons at Pensthorpe. The gardens change and move and grow. They become different colours and different places yet one thing is always the same, it’s a calm and beautiful place to be. I like each season for different reasons and have different places I like to walk depending on the weather and at Halloween half term, a time we have always been very fond of a visit in particular, my favourite way […]
