Bing & Nero: Boy+ Robot=Fun (Book Review)

We were recently asked to review Bing & Nero: Boy + Robot=Fun and it was a joy from start to finish. Bursting with vibrant and captivating illustrations by Inci Aler, this picture book felt cinematic, the story draws you in with the imagery breathing life into the wonderfully, fun and colourful world created by author Ingrid Williams.

Yoga-Transforming My Body & Mind

I've recently become addicted to yoga, a healthy addiction naturally but an addiction all the same, I feel like yoga is a secret everyone should know, I want to scream, "Do yoga it will change your life" from the roof tops people-a bit like when Cameron Diaz informed me to drink more water in her cute but slightly patronising and highly repetitive 'The Body Book' yoga and drinking water equals happiness (pretty much).

Making #FathersDayDreams Come True with Braun

My husband Peter has always been a big Braun fan and although I love him to have a little bit of 'beardage', he trims with his trusty Braun shaver every few days, to keep things neat and smooth. And isn't he handsome!

My Time at The Cannes Film Festival

I've tried to write this post a couple of times before now but in all honesty I've only just about recovered from what can only be described as an absolutely epic time at the Cannes Film Festival, 5 days on from returning home on Saturday... One of the most famous film festivals in the world, this is the third time I've had the pleasure of attending this iconic celebration of film and it did not disappoint, let me tell you.

Oliver Brings All the Girls to the Yard

So my Oliver brings all the girls to the yard...and it's no doubt milk rather than milkshakes senoirs he's still at pre-school but funny nonetheless! Slowly I've noticed over the last few months in particular that young girls are starting to notice him. He's always been popular at nursery (in fact I remember a row of girls standing by the window waving his off aged 2 1/2) but it's becoming a little more obvious now!

Holiday Time! (Nearly)

We feel truly lucky to have had quite a few fabulous, memorable holidays both here or abroad since the kids have come along mostly in Europe and the Med with some closer to home in Yorkshire and Wales. Long haul flights pre kids have taken a back seat but fun and often lots of sun has never been compromised (not counting our holidays to Wales)!

When My Kids Don’t Sleep

When the kids don't sleep it's AWFUL, horrendous, mood altering-ly exhausting and with two kids aged 4 and 18 months respectively, this is not what I bargained for. When will they sleep?! When will I sleep through for a full night-please don't say when they're 18 *screams!?
