Dear Mummy, it’s been a whirlwind of a summer and we’ve had lots of awesome adventures out and about. Some of our best moments have been sharing quality time with family and friends while sat round our camping picnic table. We love specialising outdoors and collapsable chairs and tables are so important when chilling out... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, we’re squeezing the last of the sunshine out of the summer. It’s been balmy recently and over the holidays I’ve lost dozen of my cheap plastic sunglasses from the high street, at festivals and on our adventures. I’m always putting them down or leaving them behind somewhere. So while searching the internet for... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, in a sleepy part of Hampshire, on the fringes of the South Downs near Winchester, a makeshift city has risen. Constructed and built from tents, temporary buildings and travelling caravans. Out of the ground it emerges each year, growing larger and larger - it’s a beast of a festival that consumes its attendees.... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, British cherry season is upon us and boxes of cherries line supermarket shelves like little red jewels glistening like rubies ready to be eaten. I’m participating in the #LoveFreshCherries Challenge this summer sponsored by Love Fresh Cherries, and I can’t wait to try this tasty fruit for the first time! See I’ve always been...

Dear Mummy, I'm a big fan of the spooktacular show Vampirina on Disney Junior which is based on the Vampirina Ballerina book series, which celebrates friendship and difference. The animated series features a young vampire named Vampirina Hauntley who’s recently moved with her family from Transylvania to Pennsylvania to run the Scare B&B, a guest... Continue Reading →

From basking in a heatwave to camping in a yellow weather warning with high winds, it certainly was a festival experience we will never forget. Camp Bestival is a festival tailored for...

Dear Mummy, festival season is here and our tent and camping equipment is filling up the hallway ready for a summer of adventures. One festival we are really looking forward to is Camp Bestival, we’ve attended for the past 2 years and every time it gets better and better for us. The older I get... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, one of the things we love about England is the glorious countryside and there seems to be plenty on our doorstep. However, we never thought there would be lavender fields near us, presuming that we would only find them in France. Almost by accident we stumbled on ‘The Lavender Fields’ just outside Selborne in...

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 →
