Half term is a bit of a mixed blessing really. I love spending time with the toddler but it makes me realise how much I love those couple of hours he’s at his Montessori nursery! I’m trying to keep us busy so no-one gets bored and today we headed off to St Pancras to look…

A very cold day out {Battersea Park Children’s Zoo}
Even though we live in London it often doesn’t feel like we have time to enjoy it. So we were all very excited to find ourselves with a free day to do something last weekend. It was a balmy 2° and we headed south to Battersea Children’s Zoo in Battersea Park. To be honest we…
Operation: Tire the Toddler
I’m not sure if it’s the long break from nursery over Christmas but my poor toddler appears to be bored and not tired enough to sleep. I know writing that makes me look like the worst mother which is why I’m trying to do something about it. This week is Operation Tire the Toddler. I’m…

Gingerbread house finds
I’m not quite sure what made me buy these. I have a thing for souvenirs of London and thought they were kind of kitsch. There was a set of four on a shelf, featuring a view of Leicester Square, Soho Square, Sloane Square and Berkeley Square. I’m a proud Londoner and knew I wanted the…
Orbit Baby G2
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…
A day at the Olympic Park – London 2012
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?
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
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…
