We have a slight obsession with fairy houses here at the gingerbread house blog. I’m not quite sure how it started but I’m pleased to say that not only is our own house and garden fairy friendly, but it seems that our little village is too. We’d been living here for a couple of months…
days out
Liberty in Fashion exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum
A couple of weeks ago my 5 year old and I ventured into London for a day out on our own. He is great company and loves the tube so we made a little detour so we could take in the DLR too. Our destination was the Fashion and Textile Museum to see the Liberty…
Win a family ticket to Bletchley Park with Intel Security
I have tech savvy children. Yes, at the grand old ages of 4 and 5 they already seem far more confident than I am with a laptop and technology in general. I think this can only be a good thing and I am keen to teach them good habits and the importance of safety online….
The Crime Museum Uncovered at the Museum of London
I’ve managed to visit quite a few exhibitions lately. There are so many great things showing in London and this year I am going to make sure I make time to see them! So far this year I’ve seen the Alice in Wonderland exhibition at the British Library. Last weekend the whole family visited the…

5 reasons to visit Legoland Windsor
We’re huge fans of Lego. My husband and I grew up with it and have grown into AFOLs (Adult Fans of Lego!). The children love saving their pocket money to buy Lego sets, which are frequently featured on my other blog, Treading on Lego. We are hugely inspired by Lego and I recently had fun…
Alice in Wonderland exhibition at the British Library
I took the opportunity of a rare trip to London to pop into the British Library today to see the Alice in Wonderland exhibition today. Did you know that Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland were first published in 1865 so last year celebrated their 150th anniversary? I have to admit I haven’t seen or heard many…
The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar film review
This morning we headed into London as we had received an invitation to watch The Lion Guard – Return of the Roar at the Ham Yard Hotel. The Ham Yard Hotel is a lovely venue, and we love The Lion King, so it was an easy decision to attend. Did you know The Lion King…
