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.

Fortunately you don’t have to go through the havoc of a chaotic refrigerator for much longer, as this guide contains […]

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 […]
DOUBLE THE FESTIVE FUN FOR YOUNGSTERS THIS CHRISTMAS IN NORFOLK! All-In Productions at The Garage in Norwich is a bit of a staple theatre experience for pre-school children (and older), and this coming festive season (we’re half way through the year already!) they’ll be back with not one, but two shows for Christmas – one for tiny tots and another aimed at a slightly older little one. As well as performances at The Garage, their sister theatre space, The Workshop, […]
Important Information and Activities To Know And Do During Pregnancy During your first trimester, most people won’t notice you’re expecting unless you start to glow. But you shall prevail! First and foremost, you’ll probably be worn out. This is caused by hormonal changes that lower blood sugar and blood pressure as well as the emotional ups and downs of learning you are having a child. Another usual first-trimester symptom is morning sickness. The good news is that it typically goes […]
Billie By Billie Faires At George At Asda! On Saturday we were invited to the Billie Faires For George at Asda latest launch and treated to a fun afternoon in the sunshine with a festival to celebrate. The clothing, as always, is detailed and beautiful with a Spanish inpired edge and Billie herself was on hand to talk us through her latest designs. This woman always impresses me when it comes to her eye for children’s clothes, impresses and surprises […]
