Trolls Is here!!

The girls and I were lucky enough to head down to London last weekend to the BFI London Film Festival and have a sneaky peak at the new Trolls film! The girls have seen the adverts they have seen the merchandise in the shops and had already been banging on about going to see Trolls way before we received the invite so it was perfect when I told them where we were going they were bouncing off the walls. This was Lottie’s first ever trip to the cinema and not wanting to do things by halves I take her along to…

Fruity Snacks with Robinson Crusoe

Cuddling up on the sofa with a few snacks and a film is one of our most favourite lazy day actives, the girls are at an age now where they will actually sit through a whole film which is really nice. The girls always seem to have us watching the same films over and over again – creatures of habit aren’t they – so when we were sent over a copy of the new Robinson Crusoe film I was delighted to have a change! To celebrate the release of the new Robinson Crusoe film on DVD and Blu-Ray Studio Canal  have challenged…

A knot in my stomach I just can’t shift

It felt like a matter of days ago I was writing our A-Z of summer fun and gearing up for the holidays now I am sat here with back to school looming and a knot in my stomach about it. Last year Maisy started school and I was cool as a cucumber, she had been in the nursery at the school in the year previously so I was used to taking her in everyday, she had her friends already, knew her teacher and the routine of the day at school. Bella doesn’t, I kept her at another nursery which is completely…

Countryfile Live 2016

A few weeks ago the girls and I were invited along by Blacks to visit Countryfile live for the day, I’ve not been before but with the promise of lots of family fun and hundreds of food stall I was sold. The drive up was long, the whole world and his wife seemed to be sat on that dual carriage way at that time so yes it took a lot longer than I had hoped. On arrival we parked in a field just opposite Blenheim Palace and made the walk over to the event. I was so shocked at the size…

Being a single parent..

I am a single parent to my three beautiful daughters.  It’s not something I bang on about, I have never been one to over share – ironic being as I am a blogger who shares a lot of her life with the internet but I choose what I put out there, I have control of what I write. I have been asked recently by a few people ‘why don’t you write about your experience’s as a single parent?’ It has made me think why don’t I? Is it the fear of being judged thats holding me back? This is me; I am…

Discovering Baby Jogger

Last week we attended an event in London show casing the rather lovely range of pushchairs available from Baby Jogger. I am a push chair fiend, Lottie is in the stroller stage now she loves to walk everywhere but at certain times we still need it for her to have a rest, take a nap and more importantly load up with the everyday essentials three young children need! Poking about the Baby Jogger range was great fun the girls were happy jumping in so we could give them all a thorough test drive around the room.   Here’s Lottie modelling…

Indoor Picnics

You can’t always rely on the great British weather and in the height of summer we have been hit with the odd dull or rainy day! At the start of the holiday’s I vowed to make the most of the 7 weeks we have of from school together with our A-Z of summer fun and so far I don’t think we have done too badly. One particularly dull Tuesday afternoon we were having a bit of a slow paced day, the girls began to get restless so we decided to enjoy a little indoor picnic together. They were so excited when…
