As we enjoy seeing each other so much at local events, we local West Midlands bloggers are trying to be a bit more proactive about meeting up more to kick back and relax with each other. Some of our kids have started to recognise each other from various events so a big playdate type meet …
A few weeks ago (before I fell ill, disappeared from my blog and then reappeared moaning a lot) I was invited to spend the morning at the Sea Life Centre in Birmingham. We have been a few times before – once to review the centre and again to see the new penguins. But the Sea …
We were invited by SuperBreak, who sell short breaks combining accommodation and attraction tickets, to spend a day at the Legoland Windsor Resort in order to see what it has to offer for families. We are about two hours drive from the resort so James booked a Wednesday off work, and we planned to get …
Last week we had a lovely 5 day holiday in Dorset, staying at the Rockley Park Haven holiday park, near Poole. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, especially as when we were packing to go on Sunday the forecast was saying it was going to rain every day! There were plenty of yummy meals …
Today we got up early and headed to the Baby Show at the NEC in Birmingham. We live locally so it wasn’t too far for us to travel, and I met up with Alys, a friend of mine (and her adorable 11 week old baby boy Elliot), on the train. It was Alys’s first time at the Baby Show so we had lots of fun showing her around.
We arrived for the start of the show and began our day by having a wander around the stalls a bit. It was great to get there before the crowds built up – Georgie headed straight for the toys on the Fisher-Price stand and had to be persuaded away!
Last weekend we headed to Hatton Adventure World for a fun filled day at their adventure farm. We were given £20 in Hatton vouchers to pay for lunch, and free admission, in order to try out the park. We were fairly lucky with the weather, with a short rain shower coinciding with our lunch time, …
It’s been a busy week for us and on Tuesday the girls and I headed to Leicester to visit Next HQ to take a look at the Summer kids range they have on offer this year. The event was really great; the PR team really looked after us bloggers, and the children too. There were …
Last Saturday was a fairly sunny day and James was down here visiting, so we decided to go to Dartmoor Zoo for the day. My Dad got tickets back in January with the idea of taking me & the girls in mind, but the weather has been so awful we haven’t had the opportunity to …
About a month ago, I got a very exciting email that had me messaging James immediately to demand he book a day off work… an invitation to visit Thomas Land at Drayton Manor to view a VIP screening of the new Thomas & Friends King of the Railway film!
I’ve already blogged what I thought about the (rather fab) film, now here’s what we got up to at the theme park. We were really lucky with the weather and I think we probably had the last really good day of the summer.
On Saturday Detta took Georgie off our hands for the day, starting with a school fun day, followed by a picnic and run about at Cannon Hill Park. There were guinea pigs, meerkats, and other cute small furry things, as well as a digeridoo workshop, circus skills, and face painting (or in Georgie’s case, arm …
