Yesterday evening we were incredibly lucky to have an evening at Disney On Ice including a meet and greet with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The girls were so happy meeting Minnie and Mickey Mouse. They were first in the queue and eagerly ran to meet them when they entered the room. Jemima went straight in…

Days Out in the Midlands
Calke Abbey: the un-stately home
This weekend we headed over to Calke Abbey. It had been recommended to us by a few people, so it seemed the perfect place for us to head to as a family for a nice day out and end of summer picnic. As you pull into Calke Abbey, it is a one way system. You…
Wightwick Manor and Gardens
The rain didn’t put me and the girls off yet another National Trust adventure. We decided to join this week. At only £10.50 (direct debit per month) for two adults and up to 10 kids, it seemed the perfect choice for family days out and mummy and daughter days. So we headed over to try…
The Coffin Works
We headed to The Coffin Works museum, on the edge of the Jewellery Quarter this morning and had a really good time. We went as part of our Buckt subscription (code: SMALLHOUSEBIGTRIPS will get you 50% off your first month). We had booked on for the 11am tour which lasts approximately an hour and headed…
Moseley Old Hall, National Trust
On Wednesday, me and the girls headed to Moseley Old Hall in Wolverhampton for some National Trust fun. It is one of the few National Trust places that I had not visited before and with so many people telling me they had been, I decided it was time that I headed along too. Moseley Old…
The Green Fairy Trail
I have been wanting to come and try The Green Fairy Trail at The Heart of the Country shopping village for AGES! And today, with a little sun in the sky, we headed along. There is plenty of parking and what is even better is, it is all FREE. The girls were so excited, running…
Inflata Nation West Bromwich (now open)
You will remember in 2018 we headed along to review the opening of the very first Inflata Nation in Birmingham, the branch in Stetchford. And we loved it. We laughed, we screamed, we jumped, we slid and we fought it out in a gladiator duel area. It was amazing. Check out our Stechford review here…
Gullivers Kingdom, Matlock Bath
Earlier in August I decided to take the girls to Gullivers Kingdom (Matlock Bath) with my two little girls (aged 3 and 6). We were all very excited as we had never been and people had told us how perfect it was for children under 12 years old. I haven’t got a very long review…
Move And Play, Coventry Transport Museum
With Coventry recently being awarded European City of Sport 2019, it appears quite fitting that Coventry Transport Museum have become the home of the UK debut of Move and Play. A concept and exhibition designed by Heureka Overseas Productions (a division of the Finnish Science Centre) and already enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of visitors…
Farmer Ted’s Dairy
I was scrolling through my Instagram account this week and saw someone post that they had been to Farmer Ted’s Dairy with their son and got some fresh milk. With my two girls having such a love of milk, the idea of them being able to pour their own fresh non-homogenised and gently pasteurised milk…
