Family Holidays with a Twist – The Child-Friendly African Safari
Of all the holidays I wish to take my children on – this would be it. An African Safari. But they’re not really for the children are they? Pffft. Not according to Africa Exclusive, who run the brilliant Family Safari site, and have been arranging African Safari’s for families for twenty years. These are the best family safaris it is possible to buy – each one is specially designed to suit each family’s...
The one where Keris tries the Skoda Roomster
(And no, don’t you dare click away in boredom at a CAR review – this was written by Keris so you just KNOW it’ll be worth a quick squizz through…) After falling so much in love with the Skoda Yeti, we were all very excited about the prospect of the Skoda Roomster. As wonderful as the Yeti is, we thought it was maybe a bit too big for us and that the Roomster would be more fitting. We looked at it online and...
The British Military Tournament. Oh, what a night…
Last week we were offered seats for the Military tournament at Earls Court. Some of you may remember it as the Royal tournament – an annual TV staple of a winter evening, watching the bands and the PT formations and the excitement of the Gun Run?

But last year, it came back (as the British Military Tournament, but what’s in a name?)! And now – I have three boys who are equally as dazzled, and longing to go see...
Spotted! Perfect Handbag Pouch
Have you caught on to these yet? Such brilliance – already HUGE in the States and Australia. You keep your phone/keys/purse in this – and then just switch it between whichever bag you fancy using. Plop it in your baby bag, and when you want to nip to the shop alone, you can just take this with you. Keep it in a large bag at work, and it’s ready with your essentials when you nip out to check those shoes you saw in the...
Cheap Easy Garden Games – The Minute To Win It Garden Challenges (I mostly failed)
Looking for some Cheap Easy Garden Games? Last week we had one of the most fun afternoons we’ve had in a very long time. All it took? Some biscuits, some pencils, some ping pong balls and some cotton wool – plus various crockery and kitchen pots. I know, it sounds like a ghastly cooking experiment, but I promise, it was SO much fun. Take notes, because this is exactly what you need in your reserves when you’ve got...
