Our Easter 2017 Plans
Today the Easter holidays start at Little Miss school! I can’t believe it’s been a whole term since LM went back after Christmas and now she only has one term left of her first year at school, that’s scary. But before I think about that, I have her at home for two whole weeks and we have so much planned! I’m sure because we do have so much planned it’s going to fly by but at least I know we’ll have lots of fun, fingers crossed we get some good weather for it. Anyway today, before I head along to LM’s end of term assembly, I thought i’d share some…

Days Out in England – KidZania, London
Since we have no big holiday booked this year I’m trying to make 2017 the year of mini adventures. So far we’ve been to Disneyland Paris and last month we went to visit my best friend Bee which included a trip to the cinema to see Beauty and the Beast. I know for a lot of people that isn’t really an adventure but our local cinema isn’t even SHOWING the movie yet so for us going to a cinema to see a newly released movie is a big adventure. This past weekend we ventured to London for the first time (the only time LM has ever been to London is…

I don’t drive so anything long distance is undertaken by train and over the years I have learned ways to make it easier which I want to share today. No one should be put off by the daunting task of train travel with a child, in fact, most children relish at…

Jakks Pacific Beauty and the Beast Range Review
Friday 17th March will finally see Disney’s live action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. This is probably the most anticipated movie of the year (until Star Wars anyway). And although I have my thoughts about the casting, I am excited to finally see it. But not as excited as Little Miss, who is pretty much counting down the days until she can finally see it. She squeals with excitement when it comes on the TV. She walks around singing the songs from the animated classic, her art work is all Beauty and the Beast inspired, it’s consuming her life at the moment. Belle is now her favourite princess, she…

#IWD2017 Females are Strong as Hell
Today is International Women’s Day and with certain countries in the world going backwards a few decades and some not even progressing at all, we need this day more than ever. For a long time, when I didn’t fully understand the term feminism, I didn’t consider myself a feminist but times have changed. Back then because I supported traditional values such as being the stay at home mum, doing the cooking and cleaning while the man works but then I realised that that didn’t stop me from being a feminist. Being a feminist means having the right to choose what sort of a life I live without any discrimination. In…
