Father’s Day With TRENDHIM! At the end of this week it marks that ever so important date on the calendar that pays tribute to the daddy heroes in your life. The Fathers, the Grand Fathers, Step father’s Father Figures and the Mammas who do the job of a dad alongside their own role! This is the weekend to say cheers to that special him and of course, buy him something as special as he is! We were gifted a BEAUTIFUL […]
The IMO Q2 Pro Budget Smart Phone For Kids! When buying my older kids their first smartphone I wanted something that would do the job of allowing them to phone me when out and about and allowing them to have a little freedom with their friends. I wanted something budget and we ended up spending around £170 on each of them. It’s a big outlay and yet there didn’t seem to be any cheaper alternatives on the market. For that […]
The Tartan Blanket Company Kids Blankets! This time last year The Tartan Blanket Company very kindly gifted Posie one of their baby blankets with her name embroidered onto it as a personalisation. Oh we love that blanket and still use it all the time! It’s something to keep forever as it is so beautiful and special as well as practical and though it is light in colour it has never needed washing as because of the lambs wool material, it […]
Pensthorpe For Something Yummy! I write often about Pensthorpe Natural Park and the many things we love about our almost weekly visits. Feeding the ducks, walking around the lake, visiting the falingoes (sic -it’s what Jimmy called them so we all do now) and of course the amazing play areas! There is so much to do when on the park that would excite literally all age brackets and the whole family are members because from Gram to Posie there really […]
DryRobe Advance Long Sleeve Changing Robe! Florence has been surfing for a couple of year’s now taking lessons at Glide in Cromer where she fell in love with both the sport and the culture. She absolutely adores beach life and being on the sand (as do I) but where she wants to actually hone her skills as a surfer, I, as a youngster, simply wanted to be seen in all the gear LOOKING like I knew what I was doing.

The Benefits Of Extra-Curricular Activities For Children Extra-curricular activities are important for a child’s development. You may think that they learn enough at school, but there are plenty of personal skills that can be learnt through various hobbies that will support your child’s overall progress, both academically and more generally. I have teamed up with an independent school in Essex to explore some of the benefits of extra-curricular activities in further detail. Impresses Universities If your child is hoping to […]
A Positive Birth: The Dad’s Guide To Becoming A Confident Birth Partner! When asked if I’d review the latest book by Daddilife Books, written for dads, by dads, and understood the topic, I jumped at the chance. I think Dads during the births of their children are often left feeling like spare parts and without wanting to get in the way they try to un-involve themselves when actually, they couldn’t be more needed! In step A Positive Birth: The Dads […]
Half Term Fun May/June 2022! How the holidays go so quickly is a real travesty for I love nothing more than being in the thick of them with my whole gang around. With four of all different ages it’s sometimes hard to please everyone but we have found lots of those moments this week alongside some compromises for everyone on occasion and some days where we have all done different things. I don’t find that makes me the happiest but […]
Colonel Saab, London! he Family history of the Colonel Saab restaurant, sat on High Holborn, just a short walk from the tube, is so colourfully interesting to read inside the menu, the story playing out in a read it and see it moment as you devour the information about the decor, art work collected over decades from travels through India and portrait details on the wall. As Roop, the owner’s parents, were stationed at different army postings they collected art, recipes and […]
Why Visit The Science Museum, London? There are tons of reasons why you should visit The Science Museum in London, more so than perhaps the Natural History, which is just next door and yet seems to be the museum my out of town friends immediately think of. When I tell them to go next door instead, and the reasons why, they are never disappointed. First of all the museum is free to get into with a wealth of resources at […]
