Walkers Hoops and Crosses. (N.B. There’s an unfortunate lack of photographs in this post.)
We were happy to take part in the launch of the new Walkers Hoops and Crosses baked snacks. Let’s face it – snack times are endless with four children in the house, and anything that gets more nutrients into them is fine by me. So – the box of sample arrived, and was eagerly opened. A seriously cute cheeky monkey was instantly appropriated by the 6yr old, and the 11yr old grabbed the bag of snacks. I went to get my...
Anna Nook – Old Fashioned Beauty in a Girl’s Dress.
When I saw the Anna Nook dresses, I was a little bit blown away. Here, at last, was the old-fashioned loveliness it is increasingly hard to find for my daughter. So when I had the chance for Pink to own one of her own – well naturally, how could I refuse. The idea is simple – there is but one style of dress (they call it the Nanook) which is a simple and classic pinafore. They’re made in a gorgeous Noil Silk –...
When Littlestuff went to LEGOLAND review! #GreatDaysOut
Legoland review – what a family of six actually thought of their day at Legoland. Yesterday the Super Six went to LEGOLAND. Oh yes we did. Did you happen to look out of the window yesterday? Stick a nose out of doors? Well, just in case it passed you by, let me tell you – it was frickin’ FREEZING. Literally; it actually had the cheek to snow on us all day. Of course, when we left home in Dorset, it was cloudy and...
Review: Pizza Hut Restaurant. Where else do you go on Cinema Saturday?
Last weekend, as we tumbled out of the cinema after watching The Croods, we were all SERIOUSLY hungry. Fortunately, we had a plan up our sleeves for just such an occurrence (when you have four children, you can pretty much guarantee that hunger is a perpetual issue. When three of those four are either teen or pre-teen boys, you occasionally find yourself despairing of EVER reaching the point where all stomachs are filled), thanks to...
Review: The Croods
To watch this video, you need the latest Flash-Player and active javascript in your browser. We’ve been waiting impatiently to see the Croods ever since we saw the first trailer – and yesterday, thanks to Odeon, we got the chance. The whole family loves Dreamworks animations – Over The Hedge is possibly the most-watched DVD on the shelf, closely followed by the Shreks. Not that it matters to the children who MADE the...
Review: ‘Oz The Great And Powerful’. We liked. Mostly. [contains spoilers]
We’ve been waiting for weeks, and finally the day arrived – Oz The Great And The Powerful was released, and thanks to Cineworld we had first-day seats. Brilliant! We took all the children – ranging from No.1 who at 14 was open-minded about the latest Disney adventure, to Pink, who at six was a little shivery after watching the mildly scary trailer, and insisted on sitting next to an available lap to climb into,...
