On Sunday we headed over to Yardley to try out The Journeys End, Sizzling Pub and Grill and were eager to find out what the food was like. The outside of the pub is similar to many of the Sizzling Pubs but had joined in with the new fashion of a splash of grey paint…

PYO Strawberries
This morning me and Jemima headed over to Essington Fruit Farm for the first day of Strawberry Picking season. Jemima was incredibly excited. We had just completed the school run and were both thirsty, so decided to pop into the restaurant for a drink and some breakfast before we headed to the PYO tunnels. Jemima…
Pop Pops Snotz by YULU
‘Just Pop, Can’ t Stop’. A rainy day/day at home idea: On Saturday afternoon, if you checked out my Instagram stories, you would have seen we opened our gifted Pop Pops Snotz from YULU . The girls were in heaven. They had bubble wrap, slime and the collectible craze all in one. There’s 60 Snotz…

A Thousand Splendid Suns
The European stage première of Khaled Hosseini’s spiritual sequel to The Kite Runner is now at Birmingham Repertory Theatre and last night I was lucky enough to go along to the press night to see how it fared up in comparison to The Kite Runner which had me feel every emotion humanly possible and left…
Tiny Dancers: Spring Term
We absolutely love to experience new places and new classes, so back in the second half of 2018 we were incredibly excited to hear that a toddler and baby theatre class was coming to Birmingham. I knew right away that it was going to be the perfect class for Jemima. Fast forward to the 28th…
Sounds Right Phonics
This isn’t the first post I have written about Sound Right Phonics classes. I’m constantly instagramming (is that a word?) the fun that we have within the sessions and wherever I go, I let people know how fantastic the classes are. But there’s a good reason for this. Jemima started going to the classes just…
