Dear Mummy, I was lucky enough to board my first ever cruise ship recently. We headed down to Southampton on a grey blustery day to see this floating hotel. I was super excited at the prospect of setting off to sea on a voyage of discovery. However Daddy informed me that we were just having... Continue Reading →
Dear mummy, before you were admitted to hospital we visited a wonderful place called Waddesdon Manor. As National Trust members we've exhausted all the properties around our local area so decided to venture further afield and into a different county. It's a good 1hr 30mins drive from Hampshire and by the time we arrive we're desperate to vacate the car... Continue Reading →
Dear mummy, this is a chapter of our lives I'm sure we'd rather forget but worth documenting. The road to recovery can often be a bumpy one. After my mummy's last hospital stay eight weeks ago (see posts here) tragedy struck again and led to her second lung collapse. Fast forward a couple of weeks and... Continue Reading →

Dear Mummy, the Moscow State Circus came to town! After seeing them in Reading last year we were eager to catch the show in our home town of Basingstoke, UK. We bought our tickets online from Ticket Master after seeing a 50% off flyer in one of our local newsagent. This made our family trip... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, we were invited down to the Watercress Line in Hampshire to spend a day with Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. Nothings better than working on the railway, we had a spring in our step while whistling a happy tune! I think my folks were more excited than I was! You see my folks grew... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, every year we make our pilgrimage to see the beautiful flowers at Exbury Gardens. We try to attend when the Azaleas are out and they never fail to take our breath away. The gardens are world-famous and attract visitors from beyond the UK. Tourists and garden enthusiasts travel to see the landscape come to life... Continue Reading →

Dear Mummy, we had a wonderful time visiting our local Entertainer Toy store this week. We visited the Basingstoke branch in Festival Place, which is the nearest shopping centre to where we live. We're very fortunate that our Entertainer has just undergone a massive refurbishment and looks super smart. The first thing we noticed when we arrived was... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, we're always on the look out for inspiring bakes especially over the school holidays. Recipes that we can make together to help break the boredom and create wonderful food. We love hot cross buns and they instantly remind us of Spring days and Easter. They make a welcomed change from all the chocolate... Continue Reading →
Dear mummy, you came across a fantastic product the other day which you just wanted to share with everyone. It's called Wingz. Wingz are sleeves which cover your arms but do not have a visible neckline. A bit like a bolero cardigan that goes underneath your outer clothes. They work by sitting under your bra and to...

Dear Mummy, things have been all over the place recently. Our routine has been up in the air since you came out of hospital. The majority of the time you are in bed resting after suffering a collapsed lung a couple of weeks ago. However this week we managed to drag you out of your... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, the Easter holidays are upon us and social media is awash with things to do over the next 2 weeks. Along with days out exploring the countryside and getting fresh air we're on the hunt to find things to do with kids that don't involve travelling miles away. Things that are outside the...

Dear Mummy, you've had a pretty rough time of it. But a lovely care package came through the post to perk you up. You have thick, black coloured long hair and have been neglecting it for weeks due to being in and out of hospital and on bed rest. It's coarse and in bad condition. Having... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, excitement was at fever pitch when we headed to Wembley SSE Arena in London over the weekend, and we're not talking about the cup final game either which was being held across the road at Wembley Stadium! We visited Disney on Ice at the weekend and it was amazing. So what possessed us... Continue Reading →
