I don’t know how I did it, but I managed to keep it a secret from the girls that they were going to be seeing Frozen Disney On Ice at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham. Bless them, it didn’t even dawn on them what was happening when I said they could both wear a Frozen…
How excited are we that the number 1 animated movie of all time is finally making an appearance here in Nottingham at the Motorpoint Arena? Well, to say we are very excited to see Disney On Ice presents Frozen is quite an understatement. My daughters are literally going to pop when they see their favourite…
My husband and I were lucky enough to be invited to the opening night of the UK tour of Marvel Universe LIVE! and what a night it was. There was much debate in our house about who was going to be going, but my husband was clear that he was at the top of the…
My daughter and I were lucky enough to be invited to the Nottingham Contemporary to find out more about their summer exhibition and free family activities. I love introducing my family to new experiences, so I jumped at the chance to pop along. My daughter really enjoys arts and crafts, so I knew she would…
Thai food is one of my favourite cuisines, so when Thaikhun invited us to try their restaurant at the intu victoria centre in Nottingham, they literally didn’t have to ask me twice. I popped onto the website, and knew immediately it would be right up our street, or perhaps more accurately, right up a street…
As you might already know, I have been desperate to see Disney on Ice for many years. It wasn’t something that I had managed to convince my son he wanted to see but now I have two little girls it’s a whole different story. Disney on Ice invited us to enjoy their Silver Anniversary Celebration…
Highfields Park in Nottingham is one of our very favourite places to go, and my daughter and I visited after going to the theatre on Sunday to see The Elves And The Shoemaker at Lakeside Arts. Princess had the scooter and I had the camera and we enjoyed getting some fresh air together. It was…
We’ve just got home from a very magical afternoon at Nottingham Lakeside Arts Djanogly Theatre caching up with their latest big adventure, Neverland. The kids are busy making pictures and I’ve taken straight to the blog to tell you about this fantastic Christmas panto currently showing in Nottingham.
I absolutely love that I am able to share so many trips to the theatre with my family. I really appreciate being able to share with them different opportunities to enjoy entertainment in all it’s various guises. After we saw Going On A Bear Hunt, we had the opportunity to see a completely different kind of…
I took my 3 year old to see Grass at Lakeside Theatre this weekend. She was very excited as she enjoy’s the theatre a lot and Nottingham Lakeside is one of our very favourite places. We left Daddy and Little Pudding at home as I don’t think the 1 year old would have sat still like she used…
I hate to say it but I think summer is almost done. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting wetter and colder by the minute. The reality for us parents though is that the kids still need entertaining and getting out of the house, before everyone goes up the wall. As…
Eating out has got so much easier now that Little Pudding has stopped being fussy about food. We are really starting to enjoy our family meals out again, so when we were invited to the local Beefeater to find out what they had in store for Summer, we knew it was going to be a yes.
Last week it was our 4th wedding anniversary and it coincided with Jamie’s Italian inviting us along for a complimentary meal. I couldn’t believe what perfect timing it was, and I thought it would make a lovely place to celebrate such an important occasion. Now, with the girls being so small we haven’t left them…
May half term saw another week of fun and frivolity at Nottingham Lakeside with the return of Wheee! The International Children’s Theatre & Dance Festival. We were lucky enough to be invited to enjoy the latest Luminarium from Architects of Air and to see Statik, the hilarious performance from Action Transport Theatre. This delightful story is…
We thought we’d stay local for a change this weekend, so packed up the kids and headed out to run a few errands, play at the local park and grab some lunch. There are plenty of places to eat in Nottingham, and West Bridgford has more than it’s fair share. It’s very popular as it’s…
You’ve probably gathered that we are not a family who likes to stay indoors and do nothing. If there is something to see or do we are there. This is why I love Nottingham so much as it has a great calendar of events through out the year, and there is always something to entertain…
