London is both beautiful and interesting with pockets of difference in every corner. It’s the only place in the UK that I have been where you can walk from one street to another and find a completely different type of living; city street to countryside in seconds and for that is one reason why London is so awesome! There are many places I love to visit and south of the river, although not often on my list as so far away […]

Baby showers are becoming more and more popular in the UK these days as a way to really spoil the mum to be before she welcomes her new arrival into the world. Whether hosted by the mum to be herself, or by a close friend or relative, they’re a great way to enjoy time with friends before the whirlwind of nappy changing and broken sleep begins. Some great ideas for baby showers are: Gender Reveal Showers If you plan to […]

If you’ve not yet been to Bewilderwood with your children then you are totally missing out! It’s in Norfolk where I’m from but is well worth a journey as it absolutely one of the UK’s top attractions! We love it there and visit often because not only is it a whole day out, one which the whole family can enjoy whatever the weather but it is super affordable! Think tree top swinging, elves, fairies, a little bit of magic, slides, […]

Look, if I’m honest this whole ‘what are you wearing’? business, with regards to Britmums Live, has been doing my head in! It’s made me very grumpy. I am of course going to be wearing my ‘Sudocrem‘ T. Shirt as they are my fabulously generous sponsors (don’t forget to come and talk to me about their new ‘Care & Protect’ product) but what about when I am in the bar and for the awards ceremony in the evening?! My wardrobe […]

So… I haven’t landed on any monopoly squares with my Bugaboo Bee recently and now that it’s summer I simply must get back on my game! My Andy Warhol happy bugs hood is perfect for summer in the city so I just need to decide where on the board to go next! I decided one hot sunny morning that we would take a trip on the Emirates Cable Car from the o2 on a round trip and take a look […]

We have lots of children’s CDs in this house. Mainly of the Disney variety and almost always Florence’s choice is what we get to listen to in the car. It’s tough being a little brother! Sometimes it’s good to take a rest from the princess themed songs (enjoyable as they are) and listen to something else though but for children what else is there? Nursery rhymes… Yes, but what else? Well, we think we’ve found something. Something a little bit […]

Asked would Florence like to create a magical fairy garden using a craft box fairy kit and I knew immediately what her answer would be. Probably what every little girl’s answer would be! A fairy garden just sounds so lovely and pretty and girlie so of course it was a yes please! Interplay make the kit which encourages craft and using your own imagination to make the garden beautiful and fit for a fairy as well as providing everything you […]

Jimmy, at two, is a little young for lots of the board games we play. When he was tiny we would put him in the door bouncer so that Florence could have a game with us but that doesn’t really cut it with him any more. Instead we have to wait for a rare occasion when he has gone to bed and it’s still early enough for Florence to stay up and then we get to play some board games […]

We visit Pizza Express probably around once every month. We often take advantage of the deals they offer and even save up our club card points for money to spend in the restaurant. We are generally very big fans. They do an excellently good value children’s meal which both of mine really enjoy and the food is always very good. Most of the time the service is excellent too and we have high praise after almost all of our visits. […]
