Halloween Pumpkin Iced Biscuits! I bought my cutter a while ago and it has lots of elements to make different faces. I can’t find it anywhere now but there are lots of brilliant cutters about so as long as you buy one with cut out eyes and mouth so show the chocolate through then it’ll be grand. These are two biscuits sandwiched with chocolate (in this case Galaxy) and then the fronts I have flood iced which is fiddly but […]
Sea Life Hunstanton A-Scarium! When it comes to Sea Life Centres we love them – they are super fun, full of sensory gorgeousness, brilliant for learning and we have to say, the one near us in Hunstanton, is the best! It’s right on the beach in a stunning setting and they have a seal hospital which is the best bit. For half term this October they are also offering their spooky trail as part of their A-Scarium Halloween offering and […]
Would My Child Benefit From Extra Tuition? This is a question that will come up at least once in every parents’ life. More than likely it will come up a number of times for different subjects and at different ages but what do we do about it? For some the idea of additional tuition is normal for others it feels hard to admit it’s needed, it also carries a cost in terms of money and time. There are lots of […]

Wroxham Barns – October Half Term 2020! When we visited Wroxham Barns in the summer it had a newly changed format of a one ticket price includes all with the Fun Park and Junior Farm included in that price with unlimited access! We thought it worked really well, made the day much more enjoyable and absolutely hit all the parenting targets for a cost effective day – I love being able to tell the kiddos they can go on as […]
Wellbeing Post COVID! I’ve written lots on my blog and in both my newspaper columns about having better maternal mental health care in the UK in the wake of COVID19 restrictions which have seen new mums left out in the cold for the vast majority of their pre and post natal care. While new mums are an extremely vulnerable group at the best of times with hormonal changes and a very new lifestyle to adapt to it occurred to me […]

Halloween Murder Mystery – FREE TEMPLATE! When the kiddos asked me what we could do for Halloween in a semi locked down COVID Britain it was a bit of a conundrum. No trick or treating, no ordinary days out and certainly no Halloween party put us in a bit of a pickle but we LOVE to get dressed up, celebrate and decorate so we needed to think of something. Florence came up with the idea of doing a Murder Mystery […]
Secrets You Should Know About Writing Great Songs or How to Fish Downstream from Bob Dylan! Been a while since I lived up to the name of my blog but we are the rocknroller babies for a reason. When I met my husband he wasn’t a teacher wearing a shirt and tie (which is why I never iron them for him – false representation and all that) but a scruffy boy in a band! He still plays and sings and […]
