A few weeks ago my husband and I headed over to the Design Museum in Kensington. We’ve been wanting to go ever since it re-opened in the old Commonwealth Institute on High Street Kensington. With my husbands birthday coming up I booked tickets to go and see Ferrari: under the skin which I knew he…
Living in London we are absolutely spoilt for choice with things to do at the weekend. One of our favourite places is KidZania, a city for children, based in Westfield London shopping centre. Today we were invited along to Kidzania as they were kicking off British Science Week with an explosive one day Wonderlab experience, in…
Last term Big Brother was learning all about the Egyptians at school. He’s finding Year 3 really interesting and I wanted to see if there was anything we could do to encourage him. I know we could have visited the British Museum but it’s always really busy at the weekend. Instead we planned a visit…

We love anything by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler but we have a special place in our hearts…
