Trampolining, old forts and not a lot of sugar: our weekend

**This post contains an item I was gifted in exchange for review by Pink Clove - all opinions are honest and my own** Our weekend started Friday I guess - we took a trip to Tonbridge to visit our buddies for a parent and child trampolining session. I wanted to test out a pair of jeans I'd been sent by....{Click Here to Read More!}

They say that travel broadens the mind, yet it also can create a special bond between two people in love, as they experience the....{Click Here to Read More!}

The boy turns 4: chocolate nuggets and a rogue turd

Recently my little bundle of attitude celebrated his fourth birthday. After opening his presents in 0.02 seconds we visited family and decided to have a McDonalds lunch(#NotAnAd) and a nice long walk along the beach. We had planned to go to Brands Hatch but I didn't have much money and I hoped some fresh air and a Drive-Thru might be....{Click Here to Read More!}

Review: Stick Man

**We were gifted tickets for Stick Man in exchange for this review. As always all opinions are honest and my own** After a long weekend working it was back to normal this morning; Monday's are a no preschool day so we are free to do whatever we like - usually housework and boring stuff but today we were off to....{Click Here to Read More!}

Review: Rock of Ages at The Orchard Theatre, Dartford

I'm a huge fan of jukebox musicals - and being an eighties child a musical built around classic rock from that period sounded epic. Rock of Ages has enjoyed a successful run....{Click Here to Read More!}

Sneak peek: The Christmas Grotto at Brookside Garden Centre

Alright, alright - I know it's only November but let's face it - once Halloween and Fireworks Night is over and done with Christmas creeps up mighty fast. With job and health woes this year I've been trying to get into the festive spirit nice and early and how better than to have a sneak peek at the legendary Grotto....{Click Here to Read More!}

Family fun at The Historic Dockyard, Chatham

I'm not ashamed to say I'm a complete history nerd and so when we were offered the opportunity to check out The Historic Dockyard in Chatham, Kent we had to go along - I've been a couple of times but not in recent years. We headed along at half term with our pals Whinge Whinge Wine plus Helen and our....{Click Here to Read More!}

Planning a weekend away to Liverpool

It's been so long since me and the hubs have had a weekend away - December 2012 in Eastbourne, to be precise, six whole years ago. Now the little man is growing up we've decided to indulge a little and have an anniversary trip planned to Liverpool early next year. (more…)

Coming soon: Little Baby Bum LIVE at The Orchard Theatre, Dartford

Last week Timehop reminded me how I used to desperately soothe my extremely constipated baby by trying all sorts of YouTube videos and TV channels - we did have a brief period of calm where Formula One and Minder did the trick but overall it didn't work. (more…)

Finding plus size swimwear

I've not been abroad in years - and in that time I've gained four stone and had a c-section. When I received an invite to a hen weekend in Spain this weekend I was excited - four days of sun, blue seas, girly fun and probably lots of food and drink. (more…)

Cornwall 2018 – Part 3: The dog has a mini-holiday & the wedding

Cornwall 2018: Beautiful Fowey

(For Part One click here) Day Two of our holiday and the sun was shining - I wasn't sure what was worth seeing locally so we took a chance and drove to Fowey, a fishing village on the coast. (more…)
