As a self-confessed pram addict I feel the need to keep up to date with the latest launches which is why yesterday I found myself at  the UK launch of the Orbit Baby G2 buggy. Afternoon tea in the beautiful Loft Lounge at The Hospital Club, Covent Garden, was an added bonus. The Orbit Baby…

Clara Button and the Magical Hat Day

Posted on August 8, 2012 by jenny

I’ve been quite naughty and shown the 8 month old the iPad and now she knows it is a window to a whole new world of fun! She is very like her brother and will be tech-happy, like daddy too. We were offered a new iPad app to review and as it combined two of…

Today was the day we had tickets for the Synchronised Swimming at the Olympic Park. We decided to take the toddler but leave the 8 month old with nanny who was happy to shop at Westfield Stratford. We drove to Buckhurst Hill and got the tube from there to Stratford which was only a couple…

Are we crazy to take our children to the Olympics?

Posted on July 31, 2012August 2, 2012 by jenny

We booked our Olympic tickets when I was pregnant knowing we would be taking a toddler and a baby to the Olympics. We heard lots of conflicting reports that babies wouldn’t be allowed, prams would be prohibited, and as we didn’t want to carry the baby in a sling we’ve now arranged for her to…

A busy summer holiday

Posted on July 27, 2012August 28, 2013 by jenny

I’m quite pleased we seem to be surviving the school holidays <touch wood>. The weather hasn’t been too bad and we’ve had lots to do. We had a great Day out with Thomas, the Christening, trip to Legoland and I’m trying to keep the toddler busy with some structured activities and lots of free time…

Posted on July 23, 2012June 23, 2014 by jenny

We had an amazing weekend. On Saturday we met up with friends and took the toddler to meet Thomas the Tank Engine, Mavis and those Troublesome Trucks at our favourite heritage railway. He had a brilliant time and only wanted to see Thomas, wasn’t fussed about any of the other activities going on! It was…

Things to do in London during the Olympics

Posted on July 17, 2012September 18, 2015 by jenny

I’m not planning on staying at home during the Olympics. School’s out for the summer and my toddler will want our normal adventures in London. Without a doubt our adventures will have an Olympic theme. We’ve already seen the Olympic rings at St Pancras and on Saturday we saw the Olympic clock in Trafalgar Square….
