I am going to start this tent review with a rather strange confession. I HATE camping! Yeah, I know this is a tent review… perhaps an odd opener. The thing is, I do LOVE festivals and while I personally think camping sucks; for me a festival wouldn’t be a festival without spending the night under canvas. So this is where …
Although the weather may have taken a light step back where you are, I promise you it is summer! It won’t be too long before the kids are off school and the entire summer holiday is stretched out before you. It can be a little daunting with so many days to fill. I always feel a pressure to make sure …
On the final day of our New Forest weekend we went to Exbury Gardens for a look round. You can catch up with our tips the The New Forest Wildlife Park and Beaulieu Motor Museum if you fancy a read. Also if you are thinking about heading to the New Forest then our review of the Passford House Hotel might …
Yesterday I shared our day out to the New Forest Wildlife Park, on the next day of our little Hampshire break we headed to Beaulieu House and Gardens. I was quite excited as they had a Vintage Fair on that day too, and I love Vintage goodies! We were a little early, so on the way we stopped at this …
As part of our recent weekend away in the New Forest, a few days out were organised for us by Hampshire’s Top Attractions. The first of these was a trip to the New Forest Wildlife Park, near Ashurst, Southampton. This was conveniently on the way to our hotel, so we stopped en-route. The first thing Baby spotted was the cool …
Last weekend we were invited to the New Forest to experience some days out (courtesy of Hampshire Top Attractions) and review the Passford House Hotel. I love the New Forest, it’s such a wonderful part of the country, so we were keen to head down there to explore a little more. I will write all about our days out over …
A couple of weekends ago Mr Hubby was away at a festival and Baby and I were at a loose end, so we decided to take Butterkist up on their invitation to take part in their #GetCoated challenge. The idea behind this challenge is to encourage children to increase the amount outdoor play they do. Earlier this year, Natural England …
We were invited to spend last weekend in the New Forest, I will be posting a review of the hotel and a post about our days out in more detail, but I just wanted to continue to share my weekend snapshots video early in the week. So here in less than 5 minutes is our whole 3 days in …
Last year we braved Camp Bestival with a toddler, she was 2 years 4 months and we doubted that we would make it through one one piece, but you know what, it was o.k. Actually barring the first night, when Baby had an epic first-time-tent-meltdown and we nearly packed up there and then and went home, it was such a …
This weekend Baby and I flew solo for the most part as Mr Hubby was away at a festival. On Saturday we headed to Millets Farm in Oxfordshire to meet our friend Kat (Beautwins) and her gorgeous girls. We played on the fairground rides and Baby even rode the carousel horse solo, such a clever girl. Kat and I chatted …
We love travelling as a family, until Baby was born we hadn’t been on holiday for five years, but we are trying to make up for lost time now! There is nothing like sharing travel adventures with your children, all the new sights and sounds; it’s so exciting. Baby has been abroad twice in her three years, the first time to …
We spent last weekend at Wychwood Festival, in Cheltenham. We were totally blessed with the most gorgeous weather; it was seriously stunning all weekend, which always makes camping much more enjoyable for me! Baby overseeing us erecting the tent! Being situated on Cheltenham Racecourse means that the camping areas were quite flat. There were various different camping spots; quiet, family …
In less than two weeks we are packing up our camping gear and heading to Wychwood Festival. Nominated “Best Family Festival” every single year in the UK Festival Awards, this will be its 12th year and the first year that we will be going. Last year, my lovely friend Em went and sung its praises so much that we can’t wait …
You know your a Mummy when you end up going to a theme park on your birthday; no spa day for me! We had received a lovely invitation to attend the press preview event of the new Lost Kingdom, at Paultons Park. The invitation itself, a dinosaur egg with a scroll inside, gave us an indication of what a great event …
Last week we had a family holiday in Cornwall at The Valley. I won the holiday last year, when I was part of the Parent Panel; a few bloggers had to write a post about why they wanted to stay at The Valley and they picked my post as the winner. As we had lots of other things planned for …
Last week we went on holiday to Cornwall and we stayed at The Valley, near Truro, Cornwall. I will be popping up a review of The Valley a little later in the week, but I wanted to share our holiday with you and some of the things we got up to. As Mr Hubby had been in France the entire week …
A few weekends ago we went to explore Basildon Park, which is not too far from where we live in Berkshire. We love National Trust properties, obviously they are always very beautiful properties, but you can also be assured the facilities will be great too; clean toilets and a good cafe. As I am getting older these things are becoming …
When I first heard about Zinc Flyte Case Scooters I was blown away by how inventive the idea was. My second thought was how much Baby would love one; she is scooter obsessed and LOVES her suitcases. The Zinc Flyte Case Scooter, as the name suggests, combines a lightweight scooter with a hardshell suitcase. Genius?! The last time we went …
On the last day of March Baby turned three. I can’t believe that three years have passed since I first held her in my arms. She is now a bright spark that was very keen to enjoy her birthday! We decided to head to the farm for a day of fun. Oh and obviously Baby wore a crown! As …
Yesterday we received the very exciting news that we are going to be Camp Bestival Official Bloggers again for 2016. Whoop! We are so excited, as we had been waiting for news with bated breath. Last year, we went for the first time and had a ball; apart from the first night when Baby (1st time camper) went bonkers and …
Last Wednesday Baby turned three and she had a wonderful week of celebrations. I have shared a little bit about her Frozen themed party goodies, but I wanted to share more about the things she got up to to mark her birthday, as it was such a lovely week. The day after her birthday we travelled to Bristol Zoo to meet …
Baby has recently developed a love of chocolate. It wasn’t that long ago that she wouldn’t touch it, but now I think it would make her top five of favourite things in the world. So to say she was excited about Easter was a bit of an understatement. This Easter is the first that she has been aware of …
When Baby was younger we used to go on lots of weekend day trips; a weekend wasn’t a success unless we had been off exploring a zoo or a beach. Over the last few months our day trips have become less frequent. We have all been busy, Baby has got the ponies to visit, Mr Hubby and I always have …
We spent last weekend in the Isle of Wight and yesterday I shared our wonderful accommodation with you, Chale Bay Farm. Today I wanted to share with you a little more about what we got up to when we were over there. We travelled over on Wightlink Ferries and it was so nice to have a quick and quiet crossing. We arrived …
Last weekend we were lucky enough to be invited to the Isle of Wight for a family break. We had been looking forward to it for a couple of weeks, especially when we found out we would be staying at the wonderful family-friendly Chale Bay Farm, situated in the south west of the island. The setting really is as idyllic …
This Friday we are heading to the Isle Of Wight for a weekend break. It’s much needed, as we seem to have been plagued by illness over the last couple of weeks and Mr Hubby has been away in France. It will be lovely to have a few days away from it all, just us three. I thought I would …
We live in the central part of the south of England and are so lucky to be surrounded by wonderful days out. We love exploring new places and spending the whole day enjoying one of the fantastic places that cater for children. I thought I would share ten of our favourite days out and then you can enjoy them too. …
At the start of last year our little family had never been on holiday together. Then, throughout the year, blogging brought us wonderful opportunities to travel, explore and show our daughter a little bit of the world. I hadn’t travelled much in my life until I started this blog and I would love my daughter to have a very different experience of …
Last year we experienced our first Camp Bestival and boy was it amazing! Apart from the first night, when we thought Baby had a tent phobia, it was a fantastic family experience and something we hope to do every year until Baby no longer wants to go on holiday with ‘the olds’! This year, the Camp Bestival ‘theme’ is Outer …
If you are a regular reader you may have heard that I went on an awesome press trip to Monaco/Cannes a couple of weeks ago with Bridgestone Tyres. I have already shared lots of lovely pictures and a video, so now I will reveal all about the product we were there to see. We had been told it was the launch of a …
