You may have see this post, in which I briefly mentioned our plans to extend the house. In case you were blissfully unaware, for well over a year now, we’ve been waiting for this damn extension to get started. The plans for said extension went in to the Council in December 2015 and since they were given the OK we’ve […]

A few weeks ago, I had a rubbish soft play experience. More than normal, even. No, there wasn’t poo in the ball pool or sick on the slide; this was possibly even worse. We went to Manic Monsters indoor soft play centre, Edenbridge It was the start of the week, it was drizzling. The big one had returned from preschool

You will know by now that I have a love/hate relationship with Peppa and her porcine family. I’ve been to Peppa Pig World not once, but twice in the space of a single year, and even treated myself to a live show in between. All with at least one toddler in tow, you understand. I’m not weird.

As I’m sure you know, I have a dog, and two kids that have quite spiffing rear-facing car seats. The dog doesn’t have a car seat, just the kids. Now for the bad part; up until recently, the dog travelled in the back of the car and we did not have a car dog guard to separate the two. We bought

One week today, and it will be here. Our special day to bask in the romanticism of motherhood; our day to be adored (and served) by those we expelled from our wombs in blaze of glory, our day to be recognised as the maternal Goddesses that we are. It is Mother’s Day. Mothering Sunday, if you prefer. It is our

I have written before (extensively) about how getting toddlers to eat vegetables is an exercise in futility. If something happens to show a passing resemblance to a vegetable… Well then.

Remember back in December, when we had our garden office built? No? Let me jog your memory. Despite the fact it’s bitterly cold outside at the moment we have been making regular use of it; Doug (daddy; seems a bit weird to refer to him as that out of context though) has been using it to work from home without

I was recently invited by Oxfam to attend and review a special charity opening night performance of Cique Du Soleil’s Amaluna at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Now, there are few things that this mum enjoys more than a care and child free evening out, but they are, sadly, something of a rarity nowadays; scheduling conflicts, childcare issues and general
