The End Of The Summer Term 2024! Well, here we are, the end of another school year and yet again I wonder how time manages to race so fast. Posie started nursery this last term and the end of it also spells the end of Jimmy’s first year at high school! How?! My little boy was off to the big wide world of high school this time last year and now he’s done a whole year with a rather dramatic […]
Once Upon A World At JW3! As a freelance writer and blogger, my job invites me to see a fair amount of theatre, mainly of the family variety but as a trained actress myself with a love for the genre, I tend to accept any invitation to review. It’s a real privilege to be asked my opinion and to be able to give it, even more so when I get to take my children along for the ride and their […]
Blippi The Wonderful World Tour! For the uninitiated to Blippi (devised and played by Stevin W. John) he is an American children’s entertainer who began his career on YouTube after John, in 2014, noticed his small nephew watching low quality videos on the platform. He knew he could do much better himself, so he did! Already familiar with the YouTube format from producing other types of content, he came into himself with his character Blippi, who has been entertaining children […]
Cloud B CloudBox Story Telling Night Light Projector Soother! Posie was recently sent the Cloud-B CloudBox Story Telling Night Light and Projector to try out at bed times. It is, as you’d imagine, exactly what it says on the tin in that it does indeed tell stories and project night light images to soothe and lull little ones at bed time. But in fact, it is actually the ONLY story telling box which also has a night light built into […]
Pho Restaurant – Norwich! YES! We’ve been waiting for a Pho to come to Norwich for years and now we finally have one. The still relatively small chain of restaurants has found its way to Norfolk and we couldn’t be happier in its new choice of home. We loved visiting when we lived in London, my children have all, always been mega fans of noodles and I have never been to a more child friendly restaurant in terms of the […]
Canal Toys’ Photo Creator Kids Instant Camera! Children’s cameras have come on a long way in the last few years and the difference between the ones my older kids played with at the same ages Raffie and Posie are now, is vast, and yet there’s only 5 and a half years between my boys. I’m guessing that was a five and a half years of a LOT of tech development! Raffie and Posie have had some really great, easy to use […]
Wroxham Barns Little Farmer’s Club! Wroxham Barns has just launched their new venture, a mid-week, term time, mark on their calendar, the Wednesday Little Farmer’s Club! A visit to be enjoyed by pre-schoolers (and anyone else you may have home) where the ticket will buy you all the regular fun on the farm, PLUS a “Little Farmer’s” itinerary of various activities, including messy play! £9.50 for anyone over the age of 2 gifts you a wrist band for the day […]
Pack Your Parent Backpack For A Day In The City! You’d be surprised how many people I meet in my home city of Norwich who have never been to London! Not simply that they’ve never ventured with their kiddos, but they’ve never been themselves! I can’t imagine never having visited the capital city, especially when, really and truly it’s only a stone’s throw from Norfolk! It doesn’t even have to be an over-nighter, totally close enough for a day trip, […]
BeWILDerwood – Twiggle Tots! Weekdays at BeWILDerwood have never looked more affordable! If you have a little Twiggle Tot (ages 3 and under) then a special £10.50 price has been set for a tiny one, AND their grown up, to spend a day going wild in the woods! This offer is valid for weekdays during the whole month of June and if day 1 is anything to go by, is going to be VERY popular! We are long time fans […]
May Half Term 2024! Well, half term couldn’t have come quicker this year. A week in hospital for Jimmy threw the term time into one we really wanted to kiss goodbye to, and with a week of exams before the holidays came, it was definitely time for a proper rest. I wanted to have a mix of all my usual chaos but with some down time because Jimmy really needed that. In fact, so did Florence after working so hard […]
