On Tuesday the kids and I headed to the Theatre Royal in New Road, Brighton. We’d been invited to see the stage adaptation of The First Hippo on the Moon, the book by David Walliams. If you’ve read the book you’ll know it doesn’t take long to read, so I was wondering how it would translate to a stage show. We had seats in the circle so had a great view of the stage. I’m…
The weekend before last we packed our camping gear and drove off to Rye on Friday one Sam had finished work. The Monday before we’d decided we should make the most of Sam having a weekend off work, plus it was Fathers Day that Sunday! We roped in our friends to come with us and met them half way there to head off together. Sam had found a reasonably priced campsite (it was just under…
There something so lovely about eating outside, and as we don’t have a garden we have to get our al-fresco food fix in the form of picnics. A couple of weeks ago we picked up a picnic backpack at a car boot (brand new for £2!) and it was full of cutlery, plates, ice blocks and plastic glasses, even tiny little salt and pepper shakers! Then a couple of days later a little delivery arrived from…
I’ve got another great ‘Where I live’ post from Laura today. She blogs at ‘Dear Bear & Beany‘ and has written about three places she loves to visit in Berkshire with her two girls! Sometimes when you are thinking of places to visit and have a day out you sometimes forget about what you have right on your doorstep. Or you will be visiting somewhere for the first time and you have no clue of where…
Today’s Blog Takeover ‘Where I live’ post is from Lindsay – aka ‘Newcastle Family Life’… I have lived in the North East my whole life, I was born in Northumberland and now live just a few miles outside of Newcastle. When I was younger I thought the North East was a boring place to live, nothing much happened and it is so far from the bright lights of London. As I have grown older I…
Relaxing is a funny thing, I am never sure if I am ever actually properly relaxed. But switching off and relaxing is actually something that I think everyone should take more time to do. We all lead busy lives and sometimes just a few hours of down time, time not attached to your phone (or your kids) is just the thing you need to re-energise and reinvigorate yourself. On Tuesday I spent a whole day…
Visiting a Zoo was on our family Bucket list for this year, as Arlo had never been and Athena was only about 18 months when she went to London Zoo so doesn’t remember it. I absolutely love animals and could watch them all day every day so thought Marwell would be a great place to spend the day as they have such a variety of animals. We went on a Thursday just after they re…
For Arlo’s birthday we spent the day at Paultons Family Theme Park, home of Peppa Pig World and both kids had a blast! It was a Friday so it wasn’t too busy at all, though the busiest area of the park was Peppa Pig World for sure, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many toddlers in one place! I made a video of our vlog too, you can see that at the end…
