Poor credit score? What on earth does that mean? When I was younger I had no financial intelligence whatsoever. I didn’t have a clue about budgeting, finances or even what a credit score was, let alone a poor credit score. I certainly didn’t understand how important it was to have a good credit score. I…
Would you try Moony Nappies? Nappies are an interesting thing aren’t they? They are a bit like bank accounts in some ways. Bear with me, and let me explain. We find some nappies we like and our baby or toddler seems to get on with and we rarely change to a different type or brand….
We arrived at the Holiday Inn 6th Avenue at around 10.30pm and were feeling a little frazzled to say the least. You can catch up with our story about getting to New York here to find out why. We were greeted by Carlos, the hotel concierge, who could see we were affected by our day of…
What does a baby see must be one of the most pondered questions by parents everywhere. When all of my children were born I was fascinated by what they could see around them and how all of their senses helped them to survive. Sight is one of the most important and precious senses to your…
Drayton Manor Park is our favourite local family days out by far. There is no doubt in my mind that it is the best family theme park in the UK but I’m sure you’d like to know why wouldn’t you? Read on and we will tell all about this popular visitor’s attraction in the Midlands. If…
Going to New York with teen, and leaving the rest of the family at home was a big decision for me. No matter how excited I was about the trip, leaving the girls for what would be 5 days including the travelling, made me feel sad. Little Pudding is too young to understand and is…
If you caught my first post, Getting To New York, you’ll know that we had rather an abrupt introduction to New York City. It was somewhat amplified by the fact that we started travelling at 9am, and by the time we reached our hotel it was 3am in the morning according to the UK and our…
Geronimo Festival first made an appearance on the scene in 2015. As I follow a lot of other bloggers, I saw lots of people sharing their fun experiences of going to the festival and it left me feeling a little bit jealous. Geronimo Festival looked exactly like the sort of experience I would like to…
Sid’s Show came to Derby’s Guildhall Theatre for half term and the girls and I were lucky enough to be invited along. We are all huge fans of Sid Sloane in the CBeebies show Let’s Play and couldn’t wait to pop along and see him live on stage. It was lovely to have a fun…
If you’ve been following my blog and social media, you might have noticed that I have just been to the amazing city of New York. Welcome to the first of many posts about our trip to the ‘city that never sleeps’. If you are planning a trip to New York City, I really help you…
You really can have a beautiful nursery for your baby, no matter how much space you have. Baby might be lucky enough to have their own room, but these can vary in size so much. The new arrival might be sharing their space with the office, but you can still create a lovely space to…
Costa Del Sol is one of our favourite holiday destinations. As a family we have been going to this region of Spain for many years. My favourite holiday memories of Costa Del Sol are actually from the first time I took my now husband to the small town of Nerja about 5 years ago.
Trespass have really come to my teen son’s rescue this winter. He walks to school everyday and to work a couple of evenings a week. Getting him to wear a winter coat is still a struggle, and he’s 18 years old! Fortunately, Trespass stepped in and asked us if we would like to review a winter…
Personal boundaries have become more important to me recently. Due to my daughter’s activity schedule, once a week I have to spend time with another Mother who I don’t particularly gel with. We are very different individuals and have a completely opposite approach to parenting, but that’s a whole other post entirely. Our daughters get on…
Amsterdam is one of my favourite European destinations by far. I have been lucky enough to visit many times and if you haven’t been, you really need to add it to your bucket list, like now! I know the liberal attitude the city has towards sex and drugs can be a little off putting for…
Brewers Fayre came to my rescue very recently, and they have some cracking offers and activities this half term that are guaranteed to save your half term from being stressful at home with the kids. If you are planning a staycation this February, then Brewers Fayre could be just the place for you to share…
