The last time I went to Lucky Voice, it was a friend's 40th. We spent the night singing the hits of the eighties and drinking shots with Cola Bottles in them. I woke up with a sore head and a sore throat the next morning. It was awesome. On Sunday morning, my sore head was the result of getting up too early and trying to read instructions to our Lucky Voice Karaoke Kit without my glasses on.

Make the Eiffel Tower from a cardboard box
It was French Day on Friday for LBG. I had two days' notice to whip up a costume from stuff lying around the house.

What makes Mamma happy? When we tidy our beds beautifully - … [Read more...]
Five products that make travelling easier this summer
1. Cheeky Shoes are the perfect travelling footwear: soft, comfortable and lightweight. Made from neoprene they also allow for foot swelling that you sometimes get on planes, and the fabric also keeps your feet warm in the temperature-controlled environment. I was sent a pair for review and have used them camping, travelling and also carried them in my handbag to replace heels at the end of a long evening. So impressed was I that I ordered a pair … [Read more...]
{Review} Fisher Price Little People: Big Discoveries
Ordinarily I would not be overjoyed to receive two very large packages of stuff when I am trying to reduce the amount of stuff we have ahead of a house move but it was the first week of our school holidays and these boxes contained Fisher Price Little People: the Little People® Disney® Princess Songs Palace and the Little People® Happy Sounds Home™ to be exact, and they made me very happy indeed. And my children of course. In the past we have … [Read more...]
Center Parcs adventure at Venture Cove, Elveden.
On the first day of our summer holiday The Girls and I were on the road before 8am, much like any other school day, and headed North to the wonders of Center Parcs Elveden.

After a great lunch at Hucks- where we even got to chat with the other bloggers in attendance whilst the children were taken care of by some … [Read more...]
