Summer Holidays 2024 – Week 2! Week two and we started off very tiredly after our wedding weekend away and picking up Florence from her Spanish holiday but we were all back together again and ready to make some fun. The sun shone and we splashed in our pool followed by lots more fun as a family. It’s a juggle at times keeping all the kiddos entertained, especially when they are all such different ages, but a little compromise and […]
Colonel Saab With Mrs Doubtfire Collaboration! Ok, I’m going to level with you, I LOVE the west end, but boy do I find getting affordable tickets hard work. I want to take the girls to Frozen before it closes, but, knowing it’s not just the theatre I’d have to pay for, there’s travel and food on top, it kind of makes it unobtainable unless I get a deal and believe me, getting into those ticket ballots is not for the […]
Summer Holidays 2024 – Week 1! First week of the summer holidays kicked off with the big two being broken up already for 2 whole weeks before the rest of us. Jimmy spent the first week in school sports camp which he said was one of the best weeks of his life and then in week 2 Florence, after finishing up her Workshop classes, jetted off to Spain with friends from London – it’s alright for some. People keep asking […]
Pepco at Poundland – Summer 2024! What do you think of when you picture Poundland? For me it’s always been inexpensive cleaning products, bargainous party supplies and little bits and bobs to keep the kiddos entertained. You can often pick up branded food items at a fraction of the RRP and it’s my go to for anything like cake tins, or batteries. What I haven’t, in the past, considered it for, is clothing. I did know they made it but […]
Kids Daily Essentials With Naked Nutrition! My12 year old has always found food a bit of a chore. He doesn’t yet take great pleasure in eating and thinks of it more as a necessity than enjoyment so getting him to stop doing something else, in order to sit and eat, is always hard work. And yet he’s super active, very sporty and needs fuel. To add to this, he’s really little and having had numerous hospital appointments about his height […]
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 […]
