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…
There are some things that stand the test of time when it comes to play, and the simple good old fashioned ballon is one of them. I’ve yet to see a kid that doesn’t get excited when a ballon is inflated and my two are no exception. Recently we were asked to review a new…
My 3 year old and I got the unusual opportunity this week to spend some quality time together, just me and her. Her baby sister was having a settling in session at nursery so we too our selves off for a special lunch date, followed by a spot of shopping, toy shopping that is! We’d…
I was in no way prepared for how difficult looking after 2 children under 3 would be when Little Pudding arrived a year ago. It makes having one child look like a walk in the park. Keeping 2 kiddos under control and looking after yourself is a whole different ball game. One thing that really…
This week two very excited little girls made their way to the Theatre Royal Nottingham, escorted by their Mummy’s of course, to see the all new Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom Live Tour. Leading up to the show had been a little like the long journey to that long awaited holiday, but in stead of…
I’m not a huge fan of a lengthy beauty regime but I do like quality products that look after the skin. No one wants to have rubbish skin now do they? So when May Beauty got in touch and told me about their Incredible Face Mask I was intrigued enough to give it a go….
We have been super excited in our house as Princess has had a sneak peak at the new Swashbuckle magazine from CBeebies, literally hot of the press. I like to give her a magazine as a treat when she’s been really good, so I jumped at the chance to review this when the email arrived….
These last few weeks, when the sun was shining I’ve been trying out a pair of sunglasses from the GlassesShop and I’ve got to tell you they totally rock. When they arrived, they had to pass the husband test first. After some close inspection he announced they were a huge improvement on my previous pair. I…
Cloudbabies is one of the cutest concepts in children’s television, and now they are one of the cutest toys too! The Cloudbabies usually live in their cloudy house and look after the sky with their friends but we’ve been lucky enough to be sent our very own to play with and review. Baba Pink is…
We had to say goodbye to our garden furniture at the end of last summer as it had finally reached the end of it’s life. There was no point in replacing it last year, but now the warmer weather has made a welcome appearance, we have been in the market for some replacements since we’ve…
If you follow my blog regularly you’ll already know we are partial to a family meal out. As it was my birthday this week, it could not go by without some family dining. We had been invited to Millers Barn Beefeater, which was perfect timing given my birthday celebrations. Millers Barn Beefeater is situated just…
My daughter loves all things trains, as you may have noticed already on this blog. She loves the CBeebies show Chuggington, and her Dad is a bit of a fan too! Her favourite character is Koko, and we often hear the phrase, ‘you can’t catch Koko’ from her when she is watching the show and…
My daughter is already a huge fan of the Doc McStuffins range. We bought her the medical kit for Christmas which went down a storm, it’s one of her favourite toys and one that her friends always want to play with when they come round. So, when we were contacted to review the Doc McStuffins…
The whole family was lucky enough to go along to see the latest offering from #CBeebiesLive at Nottingham’s Capital FM Arena this week, and were given one of the most amazing experiences in children’s live entertainment I have ever seen. It was a stunning show from beginning to end, with every moment well thought out…
I took the family along to see the Big Window Theatre Company’s production, One Finger, One Thumb this weekend at the Lakeside Arts Theatre. Princess was as excited as ever, and is really getting into her theatre now. The story is based around the well known nursery rhyme of the same name, and is the…
I think one of the biggest challenges for a busy parent is providing their children with a healthy balanced diet. It is something I struggle with almost daily along side juggling the demands of busy family life. I know when I’m at work, having just finished the 9-5, coming home and providing a good home…
