A Royal Invitation to Peppa Pig World

Peppa Pig, along with her family and friends have been part of our family life for around 10 years.  With Roo discovering the quirky tunes, songs and comedic actions that they all get up to.  Over the years we have taken both Roo and Tigger to Peppa Pig World just north of Southampton.  With each of them loving the rides, the atmosphere and all things Peppa Pig.  Up until now we hadn’t taken Piglet, however, it was on our bucket list of places to visit this year.… View Post

Drayton Manor challenging me to say yes to the children #YesDay

As much as I would love to tell you all that I am one of those parents who is always saying yes to their children.  The ones who happily bring out the crafts, pop in the kitchen to whip up a batch of cupcakes or head out to the park on a whim – I’m not.  I’m really not.  I am the type of parent who says no or not right now far too often to my children.  Preoccupied with chores, the demands of juggling the needs of three children and working alongside.… View Post
