Samsung kindly sent us a Galaxy K Zoom smartphone to try out, along with a family ticket to Chessington World of Adventures, so that we could have a day out to test the 10x zoom camera on the phone. We invited my sister & her family to join us for a proper family day out, …
A few weeks ago Georgie & Lydia got to enjoy their first festival; LolliBop, which calls itself “The Big Bash for Little People.” It was a great day out! We were given press wristbands which allowed us to get into the VIP area during the day, which was a nice perk as it was a quiet …
Just before we went on holiday, the girls and I were lucky enough to be invited to a CBeebies Magazine event at Alton Towers to celebrate the magazine and their great “kids go free” deal. We really enjoyed our afternoon at the park – lots more on that below so keep reading! We were given …

On Saturday morning we had ourselves a sneak peek of the primary school Georgie might be attending next year, when we attended their little Summer Fête. Georgie thought it was fantastic and had a whale of a time. I won a dodgy prize on the tombola and the girls now have their first stuffed toy in …
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.
