3 May 2013 3 comments

Before you get the wrong impression, my daughter does frequent the pub on occasion but we don’t go as often as you may think. If it’s a sunny day we will pop up to our local pub as it has a garden and enjoy a few drinks. However, we always go prepared! This is what [...]

1 May 2013 1 comment

What mother in her right mind would let her daughter dress in white on Easter Sunday? Hmmm….let’s think about that; a day where kids can eat chocolate from the time they get up to the time they go to bed, coupled with chocolaty fingers and a very bad habit of using her clothes instead of [...]

I’ve been on a few rollercoasters in my time, but I’m definitely not an adrenaline junky. As I’ve got older I now find that I tend to feel quite sick if I go on rides. However, my daughter is now 5 and a half, to date I’ve managed to avoid a lot of the big [...]
