Review: JUST EAT
One rule we have in our family is that we sit down and eat together as often as possible – every meal at the weekend and as many times during the week as we can. As with all families, we have a hectic schedule with numerous after school clubs, parties and irregular working hours, but...
Kimball Farm
We’re very lucky to have Kimball Farm just a couple of miles down the road from the hotel we are staying in. Despite what the name suggests, Kimball Farm is more than just a farm, in fact it’s more of an amusement park. It is most famous for its delicious ice cream and, as the...
Guest post: My day in Boston
Today I have a guest post from my 5 year old daughter, Faith. She wants to tell you all about our day out in Boston yesterday… Yesterday I went to Boston. I went on a train with mummy, daddy and Grace. First I painted a necklace at a craft stall. Then we found a fountain...
Summer in The States
We have arrived Stateside! Those of you who follow me on twitter or Facebook may have noticed that we are spending the summer in the USA, just outside Boston. Dale had to come out here for 5 weeks to meet with clients and colleagues so we grabbed the opportunity for an extended family holiday. We get...

Mission:Explore Food
Every so often I get a book to review that is totally up my street, and Mission:Explore Food is that book! Not only did I get excited about it, but when I showed it to the children they loved it too – and that’s especially good as it is aimed at them. The hardback book,...
Summer Holidays
The school Summer holidays seem to have flown past! It seems like only yesterday that the children rushed out of school with 6 free weeks ahead of them, and now they’re getting ready to go back next week. However, we seem to have done loads and it’s not over yet! At the moment we are...
Father’s Day Trophy
It’s been a long time since we’ve made anything for Dale to add to the collection of lovingly made items in his office! And it’s been quite a long time since we’ve done some crafting. So, Grace and I thought we’d make a trophy for Father’s Day. After hunting online for inspiration, we found some...
The Birthday Lion
At the beginning of the month it was Dale’s birthday. A few days before, the girls asked him what he would like for his birthday. He told them that he would really like a lie in. So, the big day arrived and Faith bounced in excitedly first thing in the morning. After wishing her Daddy...
Happy holidays
This Easter holidays we spent another week down in Mudeford in my Dad’s caravan. I say caravan, it’s more of a mobile home – except it’s not mobile… Anyway, whatever you want to call it, we had a fab time and I didn’t want to come home! It’s such a wonderful area for a family...
Successful cyclist
It feels like we have been trying to get Grace to ride her bike without stabilisers forever! To be fair, we hadn’t really thought about a good approach and hadn’t put any sustained effort into it, so we decided that the Easter holidays provided the perfect opportunity to try properly. So, after a little research,...
Turkey Burgers
I always think of turkey as the underdog of the meat world, coming in a long way behind good old chicken. But in our house we are huge fans of turkey, often choosing it over chicken. Turkey is definitely not just for Christmas and, along with Lean on Turkey, I’m hoping to persuade you to...
