Sunday Book Club: Moon Man
This week the book I’m featuring is one of my eight year old son’s new favourites. We bought Moon Man whilst we were at the Just So festival last month and it’s been read many times already. A story of…
Review: BRIO Push & Go Racer
Squidge has an obsession with ‘brum cars’. Anything with wheels is a car to him: scooter, train, the vacuum cleaner… though that’s minor detail when you’re just turned two. The latest addition to our car collection is the BRIO Push…
Riverside Holiday Park

Disney on Ice returns to Manchester
I have covered Disney on Ice on the blog before, but not for a few years now, so I am excited to be able to tell you that it is back – and better than ever. Who doesn’t love a…
BabyBjorn One Outdoor Baby Carrier
The BabyBjorn One Outdoor carrier is suitable from newborn to approximately three years old, and we have used it at different stages with Squidge. He is just turned two now and not really a fan of being worn anymore, preferring…
Improving our health for our children
I have been the same clothing size for around 10 years. It bothers me intermittently and I will halfheartedly take up Slimming World or Couch to 5K, but it hasn’t ever been something that’s constantly at the forefront of my…
