Parenting advice, news, opinion and life with my mini moo
Following on from Frozen the musical was always going to be a tough gig, and Disney’s Hercules has had some mixed reviews. It may not have songs that become chart toppers or even earworms but it’s good fun, especially for kids, and my eight year old daughter really enjoyed it. I remember watching the 1997...

Lose yourself in an immersive world at The Fairy Tales exhibition at the British Library in London this summer. From Cinderella’s glass slipper to Aladdin’s lamp (rub it and see what happens) there’s plenty for children to do, but the real attraction for me were the original texts of some of the most famous fairy...

I’ve lived in this area for... Continue Reading →
Peppa Pig World and Paultons Park is a brilliant day out with young children – there is so much for them to do, and I had the best day out there recently with my family – my husband, three year old daughter, my sister and four year old niece. I’m going to tell you my... Continue Reading →
It can be hard to find things to do on a rainy day with a toddler - when you want the grandparents to be involved too. In the good old days pre-Covid when people could actually travel, my husband was away for a whole week in Chicago with work, so my parents came to stay... Continue Reading →

To find out more about when the museum is open and what they are doing to help keep you safe, click here. Is the Natural History Museum in London suitable for babies and toddlers? Two...

If you want to see dinosaurs in London, where do you go? The Natural History Museum.... or a windswept hill in SE19? Crystal Palace is famous for its dinosaur statues dating back more than 150 years. They really are something special - they were the first time anyone had attempted to make scale three dimensional... Continue Reading →
