We love Lakeside Arts here in Nottingham, it’s one of our favourite family places to go. We love the theatre, and walking round the park. I’ve recently discovered they have an archeology museum and the cafes are great for a coffee and cake stop. There’s definitely something for everyone. One of the highlights in the…
We had been looking forward to this since we received our invitation. The opening of the new Thomas Land Expansion had finally arrived and it was all buffers and couplings as we headed to Drayton Manor for the very special event. Princess’s excitement began to bubble as soon as she saw the signs with Thomas’s…
We were lucky enough to be invited to the launch of the new Sea Stars exhibit at Birmingham Sea Life centre this weekend. Princess loves the Sea Life Centre, which you might remember from our last visit to see the Octonauts, which was a huge hit with her. Little Pudding takes in the sea life surroundings…
With Mother’s Day and Princess’s birthday being so close together I was keen for us to have a day out the whole family would enjoy. You might already have picked up from my blog my daughter loves trains, but she’s the grand old age of 3 now and never actually been on one. I think…
We visit Stonebridge City Farm regularly in the summer but are a little guilty of neglecting it in the winter, when it needs the support most. Over the Christmas break we decided we’d visit. Princess was struggling a little not having nursery as an outlet for her active and curious nature, and as a result tempers…
This weekend, my sister and I went along to the BBC Good Food Show Winter at Birmingham’s NEC. I’ve been a few times now and just love it. It’s a fab foodie day out so I was really happy to show my sister what all the fuss was about.
As Autumn finally took it’s hold the clan at Zena’s Suitcase headed of to Birmingham to meet up with Peso and Kwazii and find out what they were up to at the Sea Life Centre. We decided to drive as we had 2 kids and pushchairs in tow. We were able to park in the…
Recently our family and some other amazing bloggers were invited to attend a special event at The Cornerhouse in Nottingham. We all arrived bright eyed and bushy tailed early one Sunday morning to enjoy a private Movies for Juniors screening of Muppets Most Wanted. We were greeted by some very helpful Cineworld staff who provided…
After feeling like things were going a little awry with the teenager and the husband last week I decided a family day out was called for, the whole family. We do a lot with the girls and leave the teenager at home quite often. It often suits him that way but from time to time it’s…
Isn’t spring a lovely time of year? Everything starts to come back to life as the winter hibernation draws to an end. Despite some grey days this week spring has made a reappearance just in time for the weekend and it coincided perfectly with the reopening of Floralands Farm Park in Nottingham. This was our…
I’ve been to Stonebridge City Farm today! I love going to see all the animals there. It’s really near our house, so I’m not in the car seat too long, I don’t like the car seat much. There are lot’s of houses near the farm. Mummy say’s it’s because it’s in the city. My Mummy…
