I’ve been thinking a lot about how to improve the garden as I can see already that we are really going to get a lot out of our outdoor space this year. The girls have reached an age where they are going to really enjoy playing outside together and I want to make sure the garden is…
My daughter really enjoys watching Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom. We’ve met Ben & Holly at Knowsley Safari Park which was a big moment for her, and we’ve even been to see them on their live tour at the theatre. It was a great show by the way. So, when we were asked to review the Ben…
Spring is finally here folks. Honestly it is. Just don’t look out of the window at the grey clouds and use that vivid imagination I know that you have. Even though we can’t rely on the British weather we can rely on the spring/summer collections that are hitting the high street to add an element…
I have really caught the travel bug recently and I’ve been thinking about all the amazing destinations I’d love to visit. It struck me that there are so many places I could have on my travel bucket list that it could actually start to become counter productive. There is a theory that if we have long…
As soon as you get a positive line on your pregnancy test, you’ll no doubt be full of a mixture of excitement and nerves. Having a baby is a life changing experience, and both mums and dads will no doubt be overwhelmed by the amount of advice out there. However, it’s important to relax when…
Dear Daughter Happy 4th Birthday! I cannot believe that you are actually 4 years old already. Where has the time gone? This year is a big year for you with lots of changes ahead. You’ll be off to school in September, but for now we are going to be making the most of not being part of…
The Treasure Island Floating Activity Set sounded like a great toy for us to review. My daughters love to play in the bath. It’s a part of their daily routine that has really helped with their sibling bonding. We have the usual bath toys in our house, but I’m always keen to try out something…
Disney On Ice is a show I have wanted to see ever since I had children, possibly even before. Before the girls were born it’s something that just didn’t happen. My son liked Disney of course, but never asked to go to Disney On Ice. He had other ideas about how he wanted to spend…
I got really excited when Funkit World got in touch with me and asked if we would take a look at their new range of beach toys. It was perfect timing for us as we were just about to head to Fuengirola for a short break so a new bucket and spade was going to…
My 18 year old son has really started to develop a sense of personal style in the last few months. Having a girlfriend is definitely playing a part as it’s quite obvious she has a fair amount of influence over him. He has also been influenced by his recent travels. He was lucky enough to…
I remember a time when I used to have thick long dark hair. Somedays it would verge on frizzy, but when it was under control it was sleek, long and shiny. My only issue with it was the ongoing debate about what colour it was. For some reason I would get most upset if someone…
We have a very special celebration coming up this week. My little Princess is going to be 4 years old. Where on earth does the time go? Come September she will be off to school but that is a whole other series of blog posts in itself. For now, we are enjoying having her at…
Our last day in New York was about getting up early and getting as much into the day as possible before flying back to the UK. Our hotel was a short walk from the Empire State Building so after we had packed up, we headed off in search of another tall skyscraper. We clearly hadn’t seen…
Female facial hair is something I have inherited. When I was a child I used to watch my Grandma pluck hair from her chin with a pair of tweezers. I can remember watching her with that childlike curiosity you have when your young and thinking, ‘I hope I don’t have to do that when I…
Going on holiday as a family is really important to us. The more money we can save on our family holiday means the more we get to travel together. I have been incredibly lucky in the last month as I have been to New York with my teen and I have just got home from a…
We woke up to another beautiful morning in the city of New York and the temperature was definitely on the rise. We walked through the Chelsea District to catch the hop on and off ferry that was included in our New York Freestyle Pass that would take us to the 9/11 Memorial Site. We were being…
