At the beginning of 2019 we booked our tickets for Lapland UK and having been last year, we were really quite excited. One thing that did sting however, was forking out £300 for the tickets a few days before payday in January. (Ouch!). However, this year we invited my sister and her husband and 4Continue reading “Lapland UK”

Elf on the Shelf
This year we knew that Ita would love the antics of the festive Elf on the Shelf and when the official company contacted us to be on board, we thought it was a great idea. The idea of Elf on the Shelf is that you “adopt” a scout elf who visits every day from 1-24Continue reading “Elf on the Shelf”
Sealife and Lego Discovery Centre, Birmingham
During the weekend, we were invited up to Birmingham to visit places that are child friendly and a good day out. As soon as we got to Birmingham, we headed to the Sealife Centre which is located on The Waters Edge, on the canal. There is so much parking there, which was very handy andContinue reading “Sealife and Lego Discovery Centre, Birmingham”
Winter Wonderland, London (Incl. Zippo Circus)
As a Christmas family tradition, we have always taken a trip to Central London to visit Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. It has evolved so much in past 10 years, from a few rides and Christmas stalls, it is pretty much a theme park now. Winter Wonderland has so much to do, which includes IceContinue reading “Winter Wonderland, London (Incl. Zippo Circus)”
Giving Back this Christmas
You will struggle to find someone who loves Christmas more than we do! I promise you! However, we know how fortunate we are and so for many years now we have always included “giving back” in our December schedule. This was a tradition that started almost a decade ago for me; when I would collectContinue reading “Giving Back this Christmas”
The Snowman, Sadlers Wells
We were invited down to Sadlers Wells in Holborn to watch Raymond Brigg’s The Snowman, and having seen it many years ago, we were very excited. For years now it has become a tradition of ours to watch this show on TV and last year was Ita’s first time watching it too. She vaguely rememberedContinue reading “The Snowman, Sadlers Wells”
Cadbury World, Birmingham (Christmas visit)
Having planned a weekend away to Birmingham many months ago, we had decided that we wanted to revisit Cadbury World for their festive activities. We had visited Cadbury World this year on Easter Monday and having booked an 11am slot, it was very busy. So this time we knew we wanted to visit as earlyContinue reading “Cadbury World, Birmingham (Christmas visit)”
Big Moe’s Diner, Wembley
I don’t think I have ever been more excited to write a blog post! Today we visited Big Moe’s Diner and upon uploading stories of our trip to Instagram, I received loads of questions and lovely comments. So I’ll try my very best to answer them. I have saved the videos that we uploaded ontoContinue reading “Big Moe’s Diner, Wembley”
Halloween Afternoon Tea – Sugar Boutique, Knebworth
We visited the Sugar Boutique for their Children’s Addams Family Halloween Afternoon Tea. We really love a themed Afternoon Tea and this was no different. The Sugar Boutique is a very quaint shop on a very unassuming high road in Knebworth, Hertfordshire. Sugar Boutique are primarily a cupcakery that create all kinds of sweet treatsContinue reading “Halloween Afternoon Tea – Sugar Boutique, Knebworth”
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Tour
Over the weekend, we visited the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to attend their new Stadium Tour. I bought this as a gift for Christmas last year, as I thought it would be a guaranteed winner and I knew my husband would love it (and of course he did). As we drove up the Tottenham HighContinue reading “Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Tour”
