I’m excited to have teamed up with Uni-Ball to bring you news of a couple of competitions. If you are a stationery lover like me then you will not want […]
We had no firm plans last weekend so when our friends messaged and suggested we meet up for dinner it was a pleasant surprise. We popped into Guildford to do […]
Juggling is an everyday occurrence when you’re a parent, and I have to say it doesn’t seem to get any easier! School holidays are like a double-edged sword, while I […]
Zip Now London is located at Archbishop’s Park on London’s South Bank and is returning for Summer 2019. It’s the biggest and fastest zip wire where you can experience speeds […]
Honestly, it feels like it was two seconds ago that the boys and I were off over Easter. Half-term and the second May Bank holiday really crept up on us […]
I can’t be the only one that finds it hard to buy gifts for their dad? If you are looking for some inspiration on what gifts to buy for Father’s […]
Summer is finally here, and although we might be spending most of our time with the kids making memories, there are still lots of ways you can be kinder to […]
It was another busy week for us last week. E turned 9 on Wednesday. We bought him some more LEGO tanks and also Cluedo as he’s gotten into playing board […]

I can’t believe you’re 9 this year! The last year of being in single digits before hitting the big 1-0! (or as you put it “I’ll be a decade old!”) […]
My Living Arrows post is super late this week, partly because I’ve been really busy and partly because I didn’t take any photos of the boys over the weekend. Ooops. […]
It’s getting towards that time of the year when we scramble for ideas for the annual teacher’s gift tradition. It is a lovely way of showing our children’s teachers that […]
I don’t know about you but I’m still trying to catch up after the jam-packed bank holiday weekend we had. On Friday, Mr H and I went to see Avengers […]
My boys are really into Formula 1 and racing cars at the moment so when I heard about the Rollplay Nighthawk I just knew that it would be something they […]
We’re fortunate that we live so close to London. We regularly hop on the train of a weekend for a day out (any excuse for my boys to go on […]
Thank goodness for the short week back to school and work. M is already on countdown for half-term – in fact, he was already asking us how many weeks there […]
