We have all wanted to see In The Night Garden Live for a long time now. The girls both adore the TV show and secretly Daddy does too. Going to see it live at some point was a given I guess, as we’ve talked a lot about In The Night Garden here. When we were…
I don’t know about you, but as a busy Mum I never seem to get the time to make my nails look pretty. I’m put off by the length of time it takes for them to dry, the chips and finding the time to take it off again when they don’t look so pretty any…
A few weeks ago, Chemist Direct contacted me to see if I wanted to review their service. There is a huge demand for toiletries in this house with having a fairly vain teenager and two small children as well, so I was happy to say yes. It would definitely come in handy! Chemist Direct are…
We were all really excited about being invited to the In The Night Garden Party back in April, as not only did this mean hanging out with Upsy Daisy and Iggle Piggle but it also meant a trip to CBeebies Land at Alton Towers Resort. You already know that we love a good day out,…
Since the Clangers made their return to children’s television on Cbeebies, my daughter has been hooked. She’s really enjoyed getting to know Mother Clanger, Tiny and Small, and of course the Soup Dragon. These magical characters have really captured her imagination, so just imagine how excited she was when her very on Tiny Clanger arrived…
My First Cloudbabies Baba Pink was such a big hit with the girls in our house, when we were offered the chance to see what they thought of the new plush miniatures it was a no brainer really. We had to add them to our toy collection. Two gorgeous little cloudbabies arrived straight from looking after the…
My Little Pudding recently turned one, so when Wicked Uncle got in touch to see if we were interested in reviewing any toys, I was there like a shot. Yes please!! Now these guys make some pretty mighty claims, and I was pretty keen to find out if they were in fact The Worlds Best…
Wow, didn’t I get a treat this weekend! I got a weekend of bedtime duty and headed to London for a very exciting event which you can read about here. One of the recommended places to stay was the Travelodge London Central City Road Hotel, because of it’s proximity to The Brewery where the event…
Do you want a cup of tea? Can I make you a coffee Mummy? Daddy, can I get you some breakfast? Here’s your sausage, egg and bacon. Do you like it Daddy? This was the stream of consciousness from our 3 year old when she tarted playing with her Morphy Richards Kitchen Set. Kids love…
When you’re traveling with kids every inch of space is precious. There are so many eventualities to cater for, and the various different stages of travelling to think about. There is of course what you need while you’re on your long awaited holiday. But you also have to think about what you need while you…
May half term saw another week of fun and frivolity at Nottingham Lakeside with the return of Wheee! The International Children’s Theatre & Dance Festival. We were lucky enough to be invited to enjoy the latest Luminarium from Architects of Air and to see Statik, the hilarious performance from Action Transport Theatre. This delightful story is…
We thought we’d stay local for a change this weekend, so packed up the kids and headed out to run a few errands, play at the local park and grab some lunch. There are plenty of places to eat in Nottingham, and West Bridgford has more than it’s fair share. It’s very popular as it’s…
There are some things that stand the test of time when it comes to play, and the simple good old fashioned ballon is one of them. I’ve yet to see a kid that doesn’t get excited when a ballon is inflated and my two are no exception. Recently we were asked to review a new…
My 3 year old and I got the unusual opportunity this week to spend some quality time together, just me and her. Her baby sister was having a settling in session at nursery so we too our selves off for a special lunch date, followed by a spot of shopping, toy shopping that is! We’d…
I was in no way prepared for how difficult looking after 2 children under 3 would be when Little Pudding arrived a year ago. It makes having one child look like a walk in the park. Keeping 2 kiddos under control and looking after yourself is a whole different ball game. One thing that really…
This week two very excited little girls made their way to the Theatre Royal Nottingham, escorted by their Mummy’s of course, to see the all new Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom Live Tour. Leading up to the show had been a little like the long journey to that long awaited holiday, but in stead of…
