We received tickets free of charge to this event Over the weekend we headed down to Blenheim Palace for Countryfile Live. Firstly, I have to say that this is one popular event! It was busy, and yet I felt they did a great job of managing traffic getting into the event and there were so …

This is a collaborative post My children love playing in our back garden. It actually never ceases to amaze me how much fun they can have out there, coming up with different ways to play. When the sun is shining (and often even when it’s not) my two want to either go to a local …
Over the weekend we travelled up to Bakewell to Dogs Unleashed. I can’t quite remember how I found out about it, but the shows are billed as “The Ultimutt Doggy Days Out” so I knew that we had to give it a go! It ran over the whole weekend, with camping available onsite, but we …
I received press tickets to this event A few days ago we went along to BBC Gardeners’ World Live and, as always, we had brilliant day. It’s become something of an annual date for my mum and I. My mum is my gardening guru, everything that I know I have learned from her. And it …
As the kids get older, they seem to get closer and closer. There’s no mistaking that Boo is the older child, not simply because she just is, but because of the way that their relationship works. She looks out for her little brother, she likes to take care of him, she sacrifices things to make …
We were gifted tickets free of charge On Saturday we drove over to Coventry’s Ricoh Arena to experience our very first monster trucks show, Monster Jam. Monster Jam is a two hour monster trucks show, where the trucks perform a variety of stunts to the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ of the crowd. Around halfway through there …
Advertorial content in collaboration with CrossCountry Last week I had a lovely day out with my mum, thanks to CrossCountry. With Mother’s Day coming up, it was the perfect opportunity to spend some time together, time without the kids around, just the two of us. We don’t do this as often as we should, as …

These two have been so very close over the last month. They have wanted to be with each other all the time and are having happy chats about Christmas. The countdown to Christmas is on and they CANNOT WAIT, apparently! The latest development here is that Little Man is now reading chapter books to himself, and …
Last night we enjoyed a very special evening. We were invited along to the preview event of Santa’s Winter Wonderland at the Snowdome in Tamworth. Having never been before, the children were very excited at the prospect of seeing Santa and his pals and playing in the snow, real snow! If you’re looking for a …
Is it just our household that is seeing excitement levels rising already? Thought not. Christmas is everywhere now, so my two are in the zone. They have a few things going on at school, too, so I can sense that over-excitement lurks just beneath the surface at all times. And if one of them gets …
My daughter turned 9 years old last month and choosing her presents was something of a challenge. She’s at that age where there aren’t loads of things that she ‘needs’, she already has lots of stuff and she didn’t have many items on her wish-list. It seems that I am not alone in finding it tricky, …
Over the weekend we were invited to visit Twycross Zoo, as they are now home to The Great Brick Safari until 7th January 2019. The Great Brick Safari brings over 70 lifesized LEGO® Brick animals to Twycross Zoo. This on top of all of the real animals, meant the kids were desperate to get there …
I have been keeping a secret from the kids for a few weeks now. We were invited to the new Disney On Ice presents Dream Big tour last month and I decided that I’d like to keep it as a surprise for them, which I’ve not done before. I like to include them in my …
Today my beautiful daughter is 9 years old. I don’t know why, but ‘9’ just seems so grown up to me. I handled 7 and 8, but 9, 9 just seems too much! Maybe it is because I am seeing those changes in my girl, Boo is definitely growing up and entering into that ‘tween’ …
