Dear Mummy, every once in a while an opportunity comes along that we are super intrigued about. Boomtown Festival has been on our radar for years, we only live around the corner from Matterley bowl in Hampshire, the home of one of the coolest festivals on the planet. We never thought it would be suitable for families, making... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, last week we were sent a fun new game called Bubble Pong! I don’t think you can ever get ‘too’ old for bubbles and my whole family loves playing with them. This game is similar to the original beer pong game that my folks used to play, where you bounce balls into cups -... Continue Reading →
Dear mummy, I’m still in shock over the sheer scale of the Independence of the Seas, a wonderful Royal Caribbean ship we had the pleasure of visiting recently. Not one to be gobsmacked, I was in awe as we drove towards Southampton City Cruise Terminal as the ship cast its huge shadow over surrounding buildings.... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, we’re in the midst of festival season and our home has exploded with camping gear as the peak #GetOutside season is in full flow. My folks have camping equipment, sleeping bags, tents and utensils just clogging up the hallway until our next camping trip. Their thinking is why bother putting anything away when...

Dear Mummy, the mermaid and unicorn craze is still strong in our household with no sign of slowing down anytime soon. I love pretending to be a mermaid and watch YouTube films of other children (mainly American) swim around their pools with rainbow fins. On my birthday I asked my folks for a Mermaid tail,...

Dear Mummy, we love heading to the south coast at the weekends, but with so much to offer from sandy beaches, fishing villages and historical places of interest the British coastline is more than just a two-day destination. We usually find that when we are due good weather the motorways are jammed packed, so it's... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, it’s a dark and blustery day as we walk along Clarence Esplanade, Southsea in search for some respite. The wind is whistling past my ears and the sea spray is hitting the sea wall splashing us as we walk. It's warm but walking by the sea makes it seem cooler. We’re on a... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, everywhere I look there are people donning flags and talking about the World Cup! Excitement is building for the most talked about global competition. We tuned in on the opening ceremony to watch Robbie Williams sing his heart out before the first game of the tournament between Russia and Saudi Arabia. We've unashamedly jumped... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, earlier this year L.O.L. Surprise! Confetti popped into the UK with nine brand new surprises including new dolls and accessories. I’ve seen these surprise balls all over YouTube with excited kids tearing open layers of wrapping to reveal a ribbon which you pull to make a confetti explosion (a bit like a confetti canon)...

Dear Mummy, it's a beautiful June weekend and we returned to our favourite National Trust property Mottisfont. Every year we make our annual pilgrimage to visit this estate in the heart of Hampshire. It's known for having a beautiful walled garden full of heritage roses. Unlike modern species, old-fashioned roses tend to flower just once... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, it's been a little while since I shared a photo update on the blog. We've been having too much fun on Instagram and YouTube that we've forgotten to share photos on here as well. But we're back and happy to join in with #MySundayPhoto with Darren at Photalife. We visited Mottisfont NT this weekend to... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, we are super stoked to be invited to NozStock this year to help them celebrate their 20th Anniversary. We’ve never been to this West Midlands festival but have heard great things about it. We’re big festival goers and my folks are always on the look out for family festivals that tick all the...

Dear Mummy, for our regular readers it's a well know fact that I love dolls. I own miniature dolls, fabric dolls, fashion dolls and we're always on the look out for the next best thing (well a kid has to stay on top of the toy trends). So when an offer came in to review... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, Father’s Day is just around the corner (Sunday, 17 June) and I have been wondering what to get my daddy. I really wanted to get him something unusual and practical to thank him for being such an awesome daddy. So with the help of my mummy, who was contacted by Hamper.com, we arranged...

Dear Mummy, after reading a lot of mixed reviews about Geronimo Festival we were eager to head up North and check out this family festival first hand. We travelled ‘north of the wall’ a good 6 hours journey from Hampshire (Daddy's SAT NAV said 3.5hrs) but traffic was bad on our journey. As we left... Continue Reading →
