I’m not a huge fan of a lengthy beauty regime but I do like quality products that look after the skin. No one wants to have rubbish skin now do they? So when May Beauty got in touch and told me about their Incredible Face Mask I was intrigued enough to give it a go….
These last few weeks, when the sun was shining I’ve been trying out a pair of sunglasses from the GlassesShop and I’ve got to tell you they totally rock. When they arrived, they had to pass the husband test first. After some close inspection he announced they were a huge improvement on my previous pair. I…
Cloudbabies is one of the cutest concepts in children’s television, and now they are one of the cutest toys too! The Cloudbabies usually live in their cloudy house and look after the sky with their friends but we’ve been lucky enough to be sent our very own to play with and review. Baba Pink is…
If you follow my blog regularly you’ll already know we are partial to a family meal out. As it was my birthday this week, it could not go by without some family dining. We had been invited to Millers Barn Beefeater, which was perfect timing given my birthday celebrations. Millers Barn Beefeater is situated just…
My daughter loves all things trains, as you may have noticed already on this blog. She loves the CBeebies show Chuggington, and her Dad is a bit of a fan too! Her favourite character is Koko, and we often hear the phrase, ‘you can’t catch Koko’ from her when she is watching the show and…
My daughter is already a huge fan of the Doc McStuffins range. We bought her the medical kit for Christmas which went down a storm, it’s one of her favourite toys and one that her friends always want to play with when they come round. So, when we were contacted to review the Doc McStuffins…
I took the family along to see the Big Window Theatre Company’s production, One Finger, One Thumb this weekend at the Lakeside Arts Theatre. Princess was as excited as ever, and is really getting into her theatre now. The story is based around the well known nursery rhyme of the same name, and is the…
Princess turned 3 last week, and she had been waiting for this day for about 6 month’s. It wasn’t the birthday, per se, but the idea of a party that had captured her imagination. She’d been to a few now, and was looking forward to one of her very own. We haven’t had a…
OK, so there has been lots of talk recently of giving something up for Lent. If you have, what did you give up? Was it chocolate, maybe bread or was it your favourite tipple? How are you fairing with your 40 day challenge? I hope it’s going well and you’ve stayed on that wagon.
I have to admit I was quite excited about getting my hands on Justin Fletcher’s new album, Just Party. When it arrived, we had to listen to it straight away, so it went straight in the car CD player. Princess was very excited, Daddy was too but he just didn’t know it yet! There are…
This weekend we took a trip to the Beefeater at Castle Marina in Nottingham for Sunday lunch. It was a first time for all of us and being a family who likes to eat out we were really looking forward to giving it a try. First brownie point is it has it’s own car park….
Princess has been affectionately known as a flight risk for quite sometime now. She can be a lot a bit of a liability when we go out to say the least. Sometimes she is really good and knows that cars and roads are dangerous and will stay firmly by your side. Other times, when concentration…
Every now and again, I get contacted about a product that gets me really excited. It’s always something that strikes me as a little bit different, that would make a unique and special gift. Those kind of products don’t come along everyday. The lovely Kerri got in touch to tell me about these wonderful journals…
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…
Children are prone to all kinds of little accidents from the very minute they arrive into the world. They become more of a hazard the more mobile they become, and if you take them in to the great outdoors, the risk increases 10 fold, speaks the voice of experience. Bumps and bruises are apart of…
The clan here at Zena’s Suitcase were lucky enough to be invited to the première of the latest Thomas & Friends movie, Tale of the Brave, at Drayton Manor Adventure Park recently. This was so exciting for us as Princess is a self declared Thomas addict. Tale of the Brave was released in the UK on…
