After my husband and I had such a lovely time at Jamie’s Italian in Nottingham I thought Jamie’s Italian Piccadilly would be the perfect place to catch up with my friend on my recent visit to London. We met on the Southbank of the Thames on a pretty wet Tuesday night to take a ride on the London Eye,…
A little bird told me that Santa would be dropping by intu Derby shopping centre this Christmas and asked if we would like to pop along. The girls are so excited about all things Christmas this year, I knew they would love a trip to see Santa and to visit the Elf School.
The Irish Fairy Door Company recently got in touch with us to see if we would like to have a fairy come and live in our home. Now, who is going to say no to an offer like that. It sounded like the perfect magical gift for a 3 year old girl from the very…
Staying at Hampton by Hilton at London Gatwick Airport is a great way to get your holiday off to a good start. For me, a holiday begins the moment you leave the house so I like to make every aspect of the trip as enjoyable as possible. I think this is so important when you…
We were recently sent a pair of August EP715 – Active Noise Cancelling Earphones – ANC In Ear Headphones with Integrated Microphone to review. I don’t use earphones a great deal but my husband and teenage son do. I always get stuck with what to buy them for Christmas, and it dawned on me that headphones…
We were just about to leave the house to start our trip to the Hotel Stella & Spa in Pineda De Mar when Daddy starts offering some last minute holiday assistance. Throwing in questions like, have you got the passports and did you pack the toothbrushes as we are leaving the house is bound to…
Bizzy Bitz is a great new construction toy that landed on our doorstep here at Zena’s Suitcase a few weeks ago. The great thing about blogging is it gives me the opportunity to expose my children to a wide range of toys, and share with you the very best of what’s on the toy market coming…
I am totally in love with my new shoulder bag from House Of Fraser. The Brakeburn Vintage Bicycles Saddle Bag is the perfect size to store all my essential items, whilst not being to big to get in the way of getting in the way of daily life or the kids.
This weekend my 3 year old has been putting the Decathlon Oxelo B1 Scooter through it’s paces. She has been very excited about the scooter review since Mummy built it for her in the week. It’s been having plenty of test drives around the living room, to get ready for hitting the outdoor course. Kids just…
My Friend Freddy Bear has recently joined my 3 year old’s toy collection, and she has spent the last couple of weeks getting to know him. Freddy Bear already knew her though. He knew her name, who her best friends were and lots of other things about her before he arrived. He isn’t just any old…
Pet Parade Carry Kit My 3 year old has been a little bit difficult recently when she has had play dates with her friends. She’s at that stage where she is learning all about negotiating her relationships, whilst at the same time trying to understand all the emotions she experiences. This interesting stage has led…
During our recent weekend holiday break in York, we were lucky enough to be invited to Diggerland in Castleford. I’ve seen a lot of blog posts about Diggerland over the last year, and was really intrigued as to what it was all about. I know what you’re thinking. I have daughters, and are they really going…
Eating out has got so much easier now that Little Pudding has stopped being fussy about food. We are really starting to enjoy our family meals out again, so when we were invited to the local Beefeater to find out what they had in store for Summer, we knew it was going to be a yes.
There are some huge pizza fans in this house. It has to be by son and husbands favourite food by a mile. So obviously when Chicago Town Pizza got in touch to ask us to try out their new Deep Dish Taste Legends pizza, I knew the boys wouldn’t say no.
It’s all happening with Dora and Friends on Nick Jr. this summer. A little bird has told us that you can catch up with Dora and Friends Sing Along music booth at Smyths Toy Superstores and various Sky locations across the country. It promises to be a whole heap of fun for Dora fans who…
My daughter is a huge fan of Peppa Pig. She watches episodes of Peppa Pig back to back on YouTube when Daddy wants 5 minutes peace on a Saturday morning. We have personalised Peppa Pig books, that I’ve read over and over! We’ve even been to see the Peppa Pig show. I think it’s safe to…
