Sofia the First was a normal girl until her mother, Miranda, became engaged to King Roland II of Enchancia. Sofia then went from a simple peasant existence, to a life full of magical adventures as a Disney Princess. Sofia the First is one of my daughters favourite characters. I think she is the perfect character for…
Have you heard the latest? The Trolls are back this October in a brand spanking new film by Dreamworks. To celebrate their appearance on the big screen, Just Play have released a range of Troll toys and we have been lucky enough to take a sneak peek at the Poppy Styling Station before it hits…
I don’t know about you, but I’m always thinking of ways to live a more balanced lifestyle. Sometimes it’s about thinking out of the box or turning a situation on its head to make it fit your lifestyle better. We are about to embark on a new phase of our lives, and I can feel…
When I start talking to people about how good a cruise holiday is, one of the first questions I get asked is ‘what is cruise food like?‘. It’s understandable really as food is a pretty major part of a holiday, well it is in our book. If, like me, you like a week or two…
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…
I hope your child is settling back into their school routine well. Or if they have just started, like mine, that everything is going smoothly. With the summer now a long and distant memory, and homework starting to make an appearance on the kitchen table, perhaps it’s time to plan a family treat for you…
So Princess started school this week, and so far everything has gone OK. She was so excited about going, that we were literally counting the sleeps before she was due to start. She would have worn her gingham dress and school shoes every day if I’d have let her, but I gave into my self…
I’m a very excited Mummy right now, as we were recently selected by Playmobil to join their Playmobilplayologist panel for the year ahead. My 4 year old just loves their toys, and they are perfect for role play and developing her growing imagination.
This post is sponsored by East Midlands Trains I’ve loved train travel since I was a child and it’s no wonder that it’s still very much a feature in my adult life. I will also confess it’s my favourite way to travel above all other modes of transport. If I can travel by train, I…
With watching the recent Olympics and observing successful people I’ve been intrigued by what makes some of them likeable and others are well, just grating. Truly successful people have the ability to get those around them to celebrate their success and get their audience to be inspired by their journey. There are other people who…
I’ve been doing some very important research readers. I was invited to Eden Hall Day Spa for the day to really explore the idea of self care and think about how we can improve looking after ourselves, even when we have busy home and work lives.
Imagine telling a 4 year old girl she is off to a play date with one of her favourite toys. Baby Annabell invited her down to Smyths Toy Store in Nottingham for a morning of fun and to find out all about the new toy range just launched for autumn-winter 2016.
The Betty Spaghetty Mix & Match trio doll set arrived in our house a few weeks ago and my daughter was super excited to get her hands on it. This doll set is awesome as it contains 3 Betty Spaghetty dolls and 55 pieces to play with. It’s one of those toys where your imagination…
Right guys, today it’s time for a bit of a confession. Things here have got out of control. It happens every now and then, but this time things are serious. They are worse than they ever have been, and it really is time to start reigning things back in. This post has been a long…
In just a few weeks my daughters are going to be sharing a girls bedroom for the first time as their big brother flies the nest and sets off for university. The room needs an overhaul to take it from being a teen boys bedroom to a space fitting for two little girls. Whilst it’s going…
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…
