Last Day Of School – Summer 2022! Here we are in the blink of an eye and we’ve found ourselves at the end of the year already. Florence’s first at high school, Raffie’s last as a pre-schooler, Jimmy’s only one at primary school as the only Rocknrollerbaby rep and Posie’s last being able to be in cahoots with her brother – What a year which saw me with a high schooler, a primary schooler, a nursery goer and a baby […]
Fun Birthday Celebrations! I am a firm believer in celebrating anything worth celebrating and right at the top of that list is birthdays! Everyone has one so at least once a year, everyone should have the day dedicated to them and make the most of it! I certainly did this year with a weekend away with family and friends to glamping site Suffolk Yurt Holidays (which was so good it needs its own post – coming soon) and I was […]
Suneez Sunglasses! We’ve been trialling out Suneez Sunglasses these past few weeks with the boys and we have to say, what a winner! Hand on heart, we’ve not had sunglasses before that the children’ haven’t either lost or broken with near immediate effect. Lenses scratch, frames break, they take them off and put them down… Now, I’m not saying those things wouldn’t be possible with Suneez but, it would be a darn site harder! They are almost indestructible with their […]
Love Struck Smoothies! When Florence started high school last year we had a few teething issues when it came to making sure she’d had breakfast. The new early routine, coupled with the fact she’s like me and doesn’t feel hungry first thing, meant she very often went off to school without having anything to eat and it worried me. Eventually we got into a groove of giving her a little pocket money so that she could buy a pastry or […]
The Railway Children Return! The story told for over a hundred years was turned into a movie in 1970 and loved by generations of children, including me! I must have watched it when it was around 20 years old, having been read the book first, and I loved it. Later I took my own children to see the West End version on stage which was as terrific as the film and performed so beautifully with awe inspiring staging and now, […]
How To Clean Your Refrigerator Let’s face it, when you have a busy family life it’s far too easy to let your refrigerator run riot. With piles of food never to be eaten, a total lack of organisation and likely a few food items that are long past their best before, your family fridge will certainly have seen better days. Fortunately you don’t have to go through the havoc of a chaotic refrigerator for much longer, as this guide contains […]
A Simple Guide For Parents – Here’s How To Handle the 11+ Test and Help Your Child Entry exams, now that is something that no one likes to hear. No matter who you talk to, this topic can only evoke harsh feelings and bad memories. Everyone just wants to be done with it and move to the more important things in life than tests. This is why it is important to study for these tests in an efficient manner, so […]
Norwich City Football Club Launches New Home Kit For 2022/2023 Season! The Rocknrollerbaby boys unanimously agree, this kit is the nicest one NCFC have released in a long time! None of them were keen on last season’s number at all. In fact, both little boys chose only the away and third kits for Christmas presents, so unimpressed with it were they, but they hotly anticipated this upcoming season’s home kit to be right up their street with retro football vibes. […]
Hape – My First Balance Bike! The big kids both had balance bikes though never really seemed to take to them. We lived in a gardenless flat in London when they were tiny, and barely took the bikes out with us as they were heavy and cumbersome, so I suppose really, they didn’t have the chance. Another reason was that Florence’s was such a heavy thing she could barely hold it up; when it came to the time she was […]
Teacher’s Pet! I am the daughter of teachers, the wife of one, and the friend of lots of them too! I know all the ball aches of being a teacher but all of the joys as well, and of that ilk, there are many. It isn’t a profession you go into unless it’s a true vocation and a love of the job has to hold you, otherwise I think you’d get eaten up by the level you have to put […]
