Hard Rock Cafe London! We just got back from a sight seeing weekend in London where we made like tourists and saw a bit of the capital through eyes that acted as if they’d never lived there. Of course when you do live somewhere you never really see it, not like you do as a visitor and we really opened those peepers with the children like we never had before. Since moving away we had been back almost weekly until […]
Art Of Banksy UK! With a recent Instagram confirmation from Banksy that he had been on a “spray-cation” across Norfolk, decorating even my favourite Cromer with his terrifically political masterpieces, it felt like no better time than to visit the Art of Banksy exhibition in London and see a few more of his creations. The exhibition is an unauthorised (I wonder what Banksy will make of that – part of me thinks he will hate it but then the other […]
Indian Summer Hopes With Femme Luxe! Femme Luxe have done it again with a very special delivery of some summer clothes to make me happy. I love to shop (a past time I seem to have given my daughter also) and yet rarely have the time to go out and visit a shop, let alone try clothes on while there. Four children in tow doesn’t really allow for much time to pour over a retail therapy day but the middle […]
Salter Digital Bamboo Scales! There comes a time in a gal’s life when she has to finally realise that if she wants to make cakes the children actually want to eat then she’s going to need some decent scales because her eye really isn’t that good and winging it in the kitchen just does not work for her. That time, for me, has come. I have had some kitchen scales that vaguely work but they’ve been on the blink since […]
Summer Holidays 2021 – Week Five! Another packed week which kicked off with my niece’s birthday, moved into a trip to London to see our gang and attend some press events, followed into camping with the cousins and ended somehow knowing we have just one week left of all of us at home together. Jonny and Florence start their new years on the 1st of September while the boys are still mine until the 6th and somehow it doesn’t feel […]
Splash About’s New Legionnaire Hats! Keeping little ones safe from the sun’s harmful rays can be tricky, especially when they’re having fun and sometimes it can feel like a full time job slathering them in lotion every hour (while forgetting about yourself if you’re me – won’t make that mistake again!) and if your children are like mine then they will be VERY resistant to the cream making like slippery eels amid a tantrum at the mere sight of a […]
Clacton Pavilion! Today we put on our tourist hat and took a trip an hour and a half down the road to Essex’s illuminated attraction, Clacton Pavilion! A hive of fun and frolics all rolled up in one mega sandwich of seaside lights and laughter whereby the kiddos got to experience a great British day out with all the quick kisses of the rides, ice cream, sand, sea and a little less sunshine in the sky than we’d have liked […]
#GoodTimesAreNow With Andrew Peace Wines! It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it when it comes to working with wine companies and so I’ve taken one for the team agreeing to a little collab with Andrew Peace Wines whereby I’ve got to sample their Shiraz and Chardonnay over the summer to report back my findings… Oh well what can I say? YUM! Traditionally I’m not a red wine OR a Chardonnay kind of girl. My taste buds don’t do […]
Summer Holidays 2021 – Week Four! The weeks are just steaming away as they always do when we’re having fun and though this summer is busier than last, it’s not quite as frenetic as our usual ones so that’s both nice and a bit of a shame. I love to be jam packed and can’t quite relax when we’re not so I’ve stepped up the activities a bit I think now. We’ve been on our first camping trip of the […]
Different Choices With Femme Luxe! Since I’ve been shopping with Femme Luxe I’ve been granted the gift of choosing affordable fashion that I might otherwise have shied away from. I’ve grown to know what to expect from them in terms of sizing (accurate) and how their cuts look on my body and as such have dipped my bottom into a different colour scheme than I might usually choose. I’m a black for everything kind of girl favouring the darker shade […]
