It’s been a year of adventures for our family, being my first year working ful time since I had my children, it’s meant that our time together as a family has been even more precious.  Throughout the year I have been capturing these memories on camera and I wanted to sum up my 2012 in […]

On Wednesday we were invited to attend the opening night of The Jungle Book at the Lowry Theatre in Salford, Greater Manchester. It’s a favourite venue of ours, having attended many family theatre shows over the years. This adaptation of  Rudyard Kipling’s much-loved children’s classic was written by  Olivier Award-winning Jessica Swale, directed by Max Webster and presented by […]

Where ever I go at the moment there is talk of the Duchess of  Cambridge’s baby bump and her upcoming birth… So with the birth of the Royal baby just around the corner, Bambino Mio invite you to guess the date, weight and gender of the impending Royal baby. The very lucky winner will receive a fantastic […]

Both my children love music so when we were sent two of the new Carrie and David Grant Jump Up and Join In Books we couldn’t wait to get them out and start the music! We were sent two of the four title in the series, Lion’s Speedy Sauce and Elephant’s Birthday Bells, at first […]

Have you seen the new Doc McStuffins Pet Vet episodes on Disney Junior? My four year old loves the new series and we are very excited to be hosting a fabulous Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Twitter Party this Thursday. We have been sent a rather amazing box of toys and goodies and Elizabeth has invited her […]

I love Asian cuisine and in the last ten years that I’ve lived in Manchester, Wagamama has become one of my favourite places to eat. If I’m meeting a friend after work or grabbing lunch while shopping with my family, more often than not you’ll find me tucking in to a delicious Yaki Soba at […]

As we approach Christmas my mind turns to enjoying time with my family. We have lots of plans over the Christmas period, visiting relatives around the local area but in the New Year I want to take a trip further afield. As working parents we really value the time that we get to spend together, […]

Kate on thin Ice is looking for 90 generous bloggers to write about an important woman in their life  in 90 words and to join in her blog hop.  You can write about any woman that matters to you – a grandmother, a mum, a daughter, a friend, a blogger, a boss, whoever you wish. Here’s my 90 […]

Welcome to What’s Happened? What’s Happening? It’s the first week of the new linky all about days out and events, hosted by myself and Pippa from Red Rose Mummy! It’s ideal timing as the children are about to break up for the summer holidays and there are lots of fun events and activities going on! […]

The Solution to a tipping Buggy? Hamster Pannier Bags are a fabulous invention that I really wish I had thought of first! As a self confessed shopaholic I am always popping to the shops for some bread and milk then (having been tempted by a hoard of BOGOF offers) walking out of the store with […]

  Mummies! Do you have a jungle junction fan? I have two! I have to say despite the very catchy theme tune that sticks in your head long after Disney Junior has been tuned off (Yes I admit I have been caught humming it in work on occasion!) it’s one of my favourite kids shows […]

We love bedtime stories; after bathtime, getting the little ones in their pj’s and then snuggled up in their beds next to each other, all excited about which book they are going to choose, it’s one of my favourite times of the day! Especially on days when I’m working and only get limited time with my munchkins!
