My first visit to Iceland taught me a few things about travelling to the country and I would definitely do a few things differently but there are also some things I would do the same. If you are after some travel tips for visiting Iceland, then these are the things I learnt during my recent…
I think that children really enjoy making things for their Mum for Mother’s Day, or any day as it happens. My daughter is always drawing me pictures or making me cards. It’s not even Mother’s day, and I already have 4 on display. She really enjoys being creative and I’ve found some lovely ideas from…
I’m sure if you have school aged children you will have heard that it was British Science Week between 10th and 19th March. There were plenty of activities going off at my daughters school but we wanted some cool ways to bring it to life at home as well. Wherever there is science, you can…
If you need ideas of where to take kids in Amsterdam then one place I suggest you put at the top of your list is the NEMO Science Museum. It’s an interactive playground for children of all ages, and will be a guaranteed highlight for any family break in the city. The NEMO Science Museum building…
The Easter holidays always cause a bit of a dilemma in our household. Taking place half way between the festive fun of the Christmas break the long summer holidays, finding days out that the whole family can enjoy seems to get more difficult every year. Luckily, there are plenty of experiences in and around the…
I must admit I like jewellery, but I’m also quite fussy about what I wear. Finding where to buy jewellery for a Mother’s Gift can be a daunting process, but it’s so worth it as when you get it right, your Mum will really appreciate the effort you made. I like stylish eye catching jewellery with…
A few weeks ago, the girls and I were invited to the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham to find out what the Beanbag Music Club was all about. It’s been on my list of local activities to try for a while now so this was just the push I needed to take the girls along. The…
If you caught up with the blog yesterday, you will already know that my daughter turned 5. As luck would have it we were asked to host a Rusty Rivets party on the very same day and it was an opportunity not to be missed. For those of you not already in the know Rusty…
How did we get here, it only seems like 5 minutes ago that we were celebrating you turning 4. Happy 5th Birthday to my precious little Princess. You are certainly growing up way to fast. You love school, and are doing great with your reading, but it seems to be writing that you really want…
Are you looking for a special luxury gift for Mother’s Day? Does your Mum deserve some pampering and relaxation on her special day? Is it time that you went beyond the usual chocolates and flowers and gave her a gift that was all about treating herself? Well I’ve got just the Mother’s Day gift idea…
I’m going to Iceland in a few days, and I’m literally so excited. I think the adventure and the landscape will absolutely blow us away. We have hired a car, as I think this will be the best way to explore what the country has to offer in the short space of time we have there….
My husband and I have been talking about where to stay in London with the kids for a while now. We want to take them both on a sightseeing tour as we know they will both enjoying seeing the what the city has to offer. Princess loves to visit London, but we always have an…
The better weather is definitely with us, and it’s time that our feet were free from boots and socks isn’t it? I don’t know about you, but I love it when I can wear sandals and spring/summer styles on my feet. Feet need fresh air and a few other tricks from nature to be healthy,…
For me potty training has to be one of the worst parts of parenting. I really wasn’t looking forward to potty training my youngest daughter, and was literally hoping she would just decide she wanted to wear big girl pants and that would be it. She likes to do everything her big sister does, and…
Are you the person that everyone goes to when they want something organising? Do you get asked for recommendations for places to go for all kinds of occasions? This happens to me quite a bit. My husband needed to find a venue for a work function the other day, and instead of asking around the…
For years when my son lived at home I was asking myself what to feed a fussy eater. For the first few years of his life he was a vegetarian, but I soon realised I was struggling with what vegetarian meals to give him. He was also a little bit partial to the occasional chicken…
