Cheap Days Out All parents will know that feeling of needing to do something with the kids, but not wanting to break the budget. Family days out can really take their toll on your bank balance but it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some cheap and cheerful days out for you and…
If you are looking for a family short break, I can’t recommend Liverpool enough as a place to visit. We went there recently really not knowing what to expect, and we ended up having one of the best short breaks we’ve ever had. People go to Liverpool for lots of different reasons. We saw plenty…
We were very lucky on our recent family weekend break to Liverpool to be invited to Knowsley Safari for a day out. None of us had been to Knowsley Safari Park before, so this was an amazing new experience for us to share together. Daddy didn’t even realise that safari parks even existed in this country so…
Recently Toyz World invited me and my family for a fab day out to play on their amazing BeBop bouncy castles at Hatton Adventure World. We met up with a group of bloggers and their families, on a lovely sunny day in July to enjoy some quality time and outdoor play. I took the opportunity…
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,…
If you’re looking for free things to do with kids, then look no further. I’m always desperate to find activities to do with my children that don’t break the bank, or even better are free. When teen was small, money was pretty tight so I had to learn to be inventive and make the most…
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…
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…
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…
Spring is finally here. The sun is shining and the days are slowly getting warmer and longer. We can all finally start to emerge from our winter hibernation and start making the most of the great outdoors and open spaces.
We really love taking the girls to the theatre, it is definitely one of our favourite places to go. Princess really enjoys it now, and gets really excited when she knows we are going to see a performance. Even Little Pudding, at 8 months, is transfixed by the storytelling that the theatre can bring to…
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…
Making memories is such an important part of our family life and holidays are the perfect way to spend time together and capture perfect moments. I firmly believe that you make memories by spending time together, away from the day to day of family life, in a relaxed holiday atmosphere. Stimulating the senses with beautiful…
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…
