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! Nick Jr […]
I was a clumsy child. I walked into things, I fell… a lot. I constantly had bruises and grazes on my legs. I had difficulty with things, not academically but practically. I could read 500 page novels before I could tie my shoe laces. I was top of my class but it could take me […]

We’ve been send some very special crafty activities to have fun with and the children can’t wait! As well as playing Halloween games, watching spooky cartoons and eating Halloween […]

Can you believe it’s almost May? This year is going so quickly, it feels like it will be the summer holidays before we know it! Anyway the May Day bank holiday weekend is approaching and there is lots on around the North West to help you entertain your family come rain or shine! I thought […]
I’ve always loved make and worn it regularly since I was about 13 (I was always getting told off for wearing too much eye shadow in school – Well it was bright blue! – You gotta love the nineties!) I was a girl who would never leave the house without a full face of make […]

Seventy Five years ago, as part of the Second World War, Britain faced a great danger: The Blitz. To mark the anniversary, the Imperial War Museum North has teamed up with Horrible Histories to bring us Blitzed Brits, a free family friendly exhibition revealing some of the terrible truths behind the conflict that brought war […]
So the summer holidays are almost upon us and the frantic google searches of how to entertain our children for six weeks have started… We want something fun, but educational… Exciting, but inexpensive… Active, but not too tiring… Then we have to fit it all in with the playdates, the summer camps, our work, cooking, […]
