Oxygen FreeJumping – Southampton

A couple of weeks ago the girls and I headed down to Oxygen FreeJumping in Southampton, after seeing so many snaps of people in these amazing indoor trampolining venues we just had to go down to our closest one and check it out. After we put on our special jumping socks and watched a quick demo video about safety we headed out into the park and got our bounce on. We went to the under 5’s sessions that they have each week days 10-12am and weekends 10-11am, it’s great that they have different sessions for different ages it means the little…

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…

Entertaining the kids with the #PowerOfFrozen and fruity parcels

As we enter the last two weeks of the summer holidays you may find yourself in the same boat as me and thats with restless children who are getting a little bit bored and a starting to crave having their old routine’s back. We have had a really fun filled summer break and we still have a few more bits and pieces going but it’s more about keeping them entertained in-between when we are at home. They have amazing imaginations when it comes to playing games but they’re also just growing a little bored of each other – sister dramas have been going…

Biscuit making with Bake Box

As an ambassador for Bake Box every couple of months I am sent out on of their lovely boxes of baking treats and left to give it all a go. Each month the box has a different theme and contains 6-8 items of bakeware and 6 recipe cards. This months theme was a teddy bears picnic and here’s what we got! I love the silicon teddy bear cake mould how cool does this look!? I am definitely going to try and make a cake for the girls with this one, I think it’ll be a nice little treat to have…

A day in London – London Aquarium

Last Thursday I took the plunge, I took all three of my little ladies up to London, in the summer holidays. Am I mad taking 3 children aged 5 and under into the busiest city in the country? Yes probably but I am not one to ever miss out so off we went. The train was so busy even at off peak times but we managed to get some seats, the girls each had a magazine which kept them happy for the duration of the journey. We has a couple of things to do in London, I was attending an…

Camp Bestival – Saturday

After a good night sleep the girls were up and bouncing off the walls wanted togged back to Camp Bestival, we had a big breakfast before a big day and set off. Traffic was a lot busier getting to the event it took almost an hour as opposed to the 35 mins it should take, but we arrived just in time to catch the end of Mr Tumble so the girls were happy. If you want to watch the big acts on the main stage you need to try and get there a little bit early to secure a good spot,…
