    Pampers UNICEF partner to eliminate tetanus {#1photo1vaccine}

    October 6, 2016 - By 

    Today I have a lovely way for parents and carers to help support the work of Pampers and UNICEF who are protecting the world’s amazing babies against newborn tetanus. Did you know – babies can help save lives by doing nothing more than wearing Pampers. Because Pampers donates 1 vaccine against maternal and newborn tetanus for every pack of Pampers nappies and wipes sold through the “1 Pack = 1 Vaccine” Pampers-UNICEF campaign. This means that anyone can get involved as even if your child is out of the nappy stage I don’t know a parent who doesn’t still carry…

    The Edition, Autumn Winter Issue at Café Rouge

    October 4, 2016 - By 

    We’re a family that enjoys eating out. My lovely new kitchen is not quite finished so when we were invited to sample the new menu at our local Café Rouge I jumped at the chance. It’s been a while since we last visited our local Café Rouge. It’s housed in a gorgeous old building on the High Street and we usually go when we want a grown up lunch date. However the invitation was for the whole family so off we went. My children were more than happy with the Children’s Menu which was a fixed price of £6.95 for…

    Barton Farm Country Park

    October 1, 2016 - By 

    Just to prove that we don’t sit indoors and spend all our time crafting a few weeks ago we spent the morning at Barton Farm Country Park near the pretty town of Bradford-on-Avon. Every time we visit we find something new and this time was no exception. When we arrived we headed straight for the ancient tithe barn. The weather was threatening to rain and we knew we could hide away inside if necessary. It’s a spectacular 14th century monastic stone barn, 51 metres long, with an amazing timber cruck roof. The tithe barn is part of a complex of…

    Lalaloopsy Glitter Hair Dough Doll {Twist Tress ‘N’ Braid}

    September 29, 2016 - By 

    My little 4 year old is adjusting really well to her new school routine. She is completely knackered after school, which isn’t surprising, but we’ve been keeping busy with nice and simple activities. She loves playing with play dough which is perfect for developing her fine motor skills. Recently our play dough has taken a sparkly turn thanks to the Lalaloopsy Glitter Hair Dough Doll. Lalaloopsy have just launched their new Autumn/Winter range which includes the Potty Surprise doll, Princess Style N Swap range and Glitter Hair Dough Doll. We were sent the Lalaloopsy Glitter Hair Dough Doll to review.…

    Win a copy of The Little Elephant Who Wants to Fall Asleep

    September 26, 2016 - By 

    Last year The Rabbit Who Wants to Fall Asleep became a ground-breaking best-seller – and a bedtime saviour – as parents across the globe extolled the success of the book in helping their children to fall asleep at night. This new story, The Little Elephant Who Wants to Fall Asleep, will be another welcome solution to help turn the often-trying bedtime routine into a special end-of-day ritual. The Little Elephant, features an all-new cast of lovable characters, but has been created with the same objective of helping children fall asleep.

    A week in Cornwall

    September 23, 2016 - By 

    Cornwall is a long way from where we live in West London but we always have a great time when we go. A few years ago the whole extended family rented a lovely old house in the picturesque village of Looe. It was a great base to explore that part of Cornwall and pretty much the perfect family holiday. We’ve always been National Trust members. They look after some of the most beautiful countryside, stately homes, buildings, art collections and more. I love knowing our membership fee helps contribute (in a tiny way) to saving and preserving some of these…

    Choosing the perfect birthday present for kids {Wicked Uncle Challenge}

    September 22, 2016 - By 

    A few weeks ago we heard about the Wicked Uncle Challenge. We al know how hard it can be to buy the right present for a child. I know my own children and they can be a nightmare. They ask for something for ages. They receive it for Christmas or a birthday and look blankly when they open it as they no longer want it or have grown out of it. These days with so many new toys constantly coming out it can be hard choosing the perfect birthday present for kids. This is where Wicked Uncle comes in. Never…

    Exploring Avebury Stone Circle with children

    September 10, 2016 - By 

    Avebury is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles, around the pretty village of Avebury in Wiltshire. It also happens to be between my Mum’s house and ours so we often stop off on the way home. Exploring Avebury Stone Circle with children is a great day out as there is so much to see and do so I thought I would tell you about our latest trip. Exploring Avebury Stone Circle with children Avebury comprises of a large henge (a bank and a ditch) with a large outer stone circle and two separate smaller stone circles inside the…
