Diggerland in Strood, Kent is a place we’ve been waiting to visit for a while. My son (a big fan of construction vehicles!) is quite short for his age and has taken forever to hit 90cm – the minimum height for going on any of the diggers. Finally he did, and so a week after his third birthday we went […]

Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire is a fabulous zoo and family attraction. Almost a year to the day since we first visited Paradise Wildlife Park, we went back again to see the new World of Dinosaurs! Paradise Wildlife Park is split roughly into halves with the entrance road separating the two areas; on one side is the animal park,

The Micro Trike is a brand new idea from the makers of the Mini Micro Scooter. We were lucky enough to be sent our very own blue Micro Trike to test out and review. The Micro Trike is very different to your usual trike aimed at toddlers. Although it has three wheels, it’s not actually a tricycle as it doesn’t

Welcome to my gift guide, with a load of ideas for third birthday presents for boys. Obviously the reason I’m writing this is that my smallest’s is about to turn three years old! He’s a conversation-having, toilet-using big boy now. More importantly, he knows what birthdays are, and what they’re about. He knows that there are parties and presents, and

The Lumie Bodyclock Go 75 is an alarm clock, but one quite different to your usual mobile phone alarm! The Lumie Bodyclock Go 75 wakes you up with a natural sunrise which gets brighter over 30 minutes. Obviously it has an audible alarm too, in case you are a very deep sleeper (or just a tired parent who could sleep

Drusillas Park is somewhere that I haven’t been for well over 20 years. Situated in Alfriston in East Sussex, it is a place that I used to go to as a child, although my memories of the zoo in the late 80s and early 90s are mainly of meerkats. However, Drusillas has changed a lot since then, and they now

Recently I was asked to review a holiday cottage in the New Forest, which happened to be near the border of Dorset. When looking into things to do in the local area, I remembered that I followed Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park on Twitter and sent them a message. They kindly agreed to let us visit and review. We visited Farmer

Recently we’ve been here, there and everywhere. I was looking forward (well, kind of) to a weekend at home sorting the garden out, but when we were offered the opportunity to visit Hampshire once again and spend a long weekend in the New Forest with the kids I couldn’t say no, even though my husband was away and it meant going
