Food allergies in children

Posted on September 15, 2012September 26, 2023 by jenny

Last week we were invited to a breakfast briefing to discover more about children and food allergies and why early detection can make a huge difference to a child’s well being at school. Now I know my children aren’t at school but I’m always happy to learn about things which might affect their health. Food…

A grand day out

Posted on March 21, 2012September 26, 2023 by jenny

Today was my birthday! It’s very strange having a birthday when you have children – no lie in and no leisurely opening of presents for me! However, I enjoyed opening my gifts with the little people and their infectious smiles and giggles. My son may have even opened a present or two for me. A…

In the Night Garden Daytime Sleepover!

Posted on October 25, 2011February 15, 2015 by jenny

Edward was invited to the Rainforest Cafe to help celebrate the launch of a new toy range which includes Good Night Friend Upsy Daisy. He’s a huge In The Night Garden fan so I knew this was one event we couldn’t miss. When we arrived at the venue we found a lovely area filled with…

Rocking with Elmo

Posted on September 26, 2011September 26, 2023 by jenny

A couple of weeks ago Edward and I had the best invite in town – lunch with Elmo! Apparently Elmo loved London so much last year that he decided to come back. Rocking with Elmo Elmo wanted to see all the sites he didn’t get to last time, like Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey,…

Gingerbread house finds

Posted on September 11, 2011February 19, 2019 by jenny

Last week was a bit crazy. It started with Edward’s first trip to the cinema, his first photo shoot for Mother & Baby magazine, a trip to the Gurgle blog awards (where I came third in my category and won a £250 Mothercare voucher) and ended with lunch with Elmo. Crazy, amazing and quite tiring…

Winnie the Pooh

Posted on September 6, 2011October 7, 2013 by jenny

Do you know a child who doesn’t like Winnie the Pooh? I have fond childhood memories of the Winnie the Pooh stories so was delighted to be asked to a special screening of the Winnie the Pooh film at Disney HQ yesterday organised by HUGGIES. When we arrived we were greeted by very big models…

Bob’s Big Build

On Saturday we were invited as VIP’s to Bob’s Big Build, a special event for little builders at Fixham, otherwise known as the O2. Our VIP tickets included transport to the O2 on the Thames Clipper which we were really excited about as we had never taken a trip on the Thames before. Bob’s Big…

Shop ’til you drop

Posted on August 23, 2011September 26, 2023 by jenny

I’m not a girly girl but I do enjoy a look around the shops so was very excited when I was invited to visit The Bentall Shopping Centre in south London. Edward and I regularly go to our local shopping centre where we are experts in navigating the shops with aisles wide enough to accommodate…
