How it finally feels knowing I’ve completed my t How it finally feels knowing I’ve completed my to do listSummer is summering hard and now it’s time for me to really enjoy the last two weeks before autumn term starts and I won’t be able to come up to catch my breath.The office has been moved, Arlo’s new bedroom is complete, the cupboards have been decluttered, toys have been donated and Vinted has been a goldmine….dare I say it the laundry basket is empty too!Im feeling so good I might even go and take the car for a valet clean.
Step outside the summer times in bloom 🌻 adA Step outside the summer times in bloom 🌻 adA few of our snaps from @cotswoldfarmpark - Sunday was just beautiful and this weeks the heatwave is going to continue so this is your sign to pop your best dress on and head down to the Cotswolds for a little photoshoot.The farm park itself is a lovely day out for families with play areas, tractor rides, woodland walks and so many cute animals to feed including highland cows.To visit the fields is an extra £2 if you add-on to your tickets when booking online.
Take a moment /adThis week brings yet another h Take a moment /adThis week brings yet another heatwave which makes it a glorious week for visiting a flowerfield. @cotswoldfarmpark has just opened its one full of sunflowers and with a wildflower meadow to wander through.Amongst the flowers is a mini go kart track for kids and plenty of photo opportunities.You can add a visit to the fields to your farm trip for just £2 online.Flowers are available to purchase from £2 a stem and at bundle discount rates.They’re hosting a series of different events including yoga sessions and their Wednesday sessions with food trucks - check online for details and
36 hours in LondonWe needed to visit London for 36 hours in LondonWe needed to visit London for a work project and so I decided to organise trains and a hotel to give us some time to explore the capital city like tourists.Train: Birmingham New Street to London Euston takes 1hr 20 mins.Hotel: London Bridge Hotel - great location, spotless and amazing staff who spoilt Arlo and let us check in early as the room was ready.Itinerary:ThursdayArrived and took a tube to London Bridge. Arlo was impressed by @theshardlondon. Dropped bags off and head straight out to explore.Borough Market for lunch - delicious treats and tasty meals @oroshibmk  @shuklondon  @turnipsborough  @comptoir_bakery@zsllondonzoo - via Camden High street - if I had more time I would have loved to explore but Arlo wanted to get to the zoo. Not my fave zoo but Arlo was happy enough.@lyceumtheatreldn @thelionkinguk - last minute tickets via the box office available by sheer luck - I cried as it made me emotional.Great drinks and a tip about getting Uber boats home from staff in the Wellington next door - lovely for a pre theatre drink.Sight seeing after dark via @thamesclippers - walked down to Embankment and the uber boats got us amazing views of @londoneye Big Ben and HMS Belfast - unreal experience. Open air seats available and little cafe on board.Friday (after work)Underground to Euston - stored suitcase using @stasherofficial app so we didn’t have to carry it around!Took a bus to Oxford Road and then walked along
@regentstreetw1 heading for @hamleysofficial - Arlo chose a toy and we got ice creams too.Walked along to Piccadilly Circus, paused here to eat our ice creams then on through to Leicester Square for @mmsuk (pick and mix £3.99 for 100g 😳) - the Lego store queue was long so we swerved that and then wandered on to Trafalgar Square.Loads of statues and plaques to have a gander at - tried explaining gravity after walking past a former residence of Isaac Newton.Grabbed some fast food and then sat at Nelson’s column enjoying the sunshine and soaking up the views of the Palace of Westminster before getting the bus back to Euston Station and heading home.
Stories carved in to stoneSharing a moment betw Stories carved in to stoneSharing a moment between us where stories from the history books suddenly were bought to life. With statues of Kings and the Palace of Westminster both in view Arlo just sat down soaking it all in.Just a little pause during our flying visit to the capital city, lots of memories were made today.Nelson’s Column, Trafalgar Square, London
Start them Rite! ADManaged to tick one thing of Start them Rite! ADManaged to tick one thing off the back to school list already because we’ve been testing out the engineers for @startrite_shoesFull review is live on the blog but in summary - great fit, great quality and very robust shoes which will last the academic year.This is your sign to check out the website and get one thing ticked off the list this week so you can kick back and enjoy the rest of the August in peace!Arlo’s been more than happy to do his absolute worse with these and the before and after pictures of the soles and toes don’t look much different.https://arloriverrex.com/putting-the-engineer-to-the-test-our-start-rite-school-shoe-review/
Smokin’ Hot 🔥AdGuys I have to be comple Smokin’ Hot 🔥AdGuys I have to be completely honest with you and say that buffet restaurants were not really my vibe - Until this week where I’ve exercised my right to have my mind changed by the team @smokinhot_buffet_grill 😳The restaurant is in the middle of Coventry and has such a huge selection of food it’s bordering on ridiculous! I was shown along to the salad station, deserts and spotted the sushi and all the little nibbly bits like wings, samosas, chips and I thought to myself …. Well that’s great, a decent selection and everything looks tasty and spotless.Then I looked up to see a fountain of melted cheese and all the nachos and toppings…… never seen anything quite like that before…… and then I turned the corner to see another forty dishes stretching out before me. Indian and Chinese dishes to suit all tastes . A variety of meats, side dishes and all the accompaniments.Then I started to worry because I wanted to taste everything and there was no way that was going to be possible.Then I turned another corner to see the grills…. Where a chef is on hand to cook your meat of choice teppanyaki style and there’s another huge choice of accompaniments including lamb ribs and jerk wings.Arlo thought he had died and gone to heaven and I made the decision to abandon my diet for one night and commit to the review.Everything I tasted was delicious, the meat just fell of the bones for the wings, the sushi was top quality, the butter chicken was creamy and the steak I had was cooked to perfection. All the salads were zingy and fresh, and the attention to detail with seasonings and garnishes on the side dishes was impeccable.I had to indulge in a mojito for the cause whilst I thought about what to write.I literally can’t fault this restaurant - prices start at £21 per head for adults and £12 for kids and I think what’s on offer represents amazing value for money. There is something for everyone here.Plates were cleared away constantly and the team were so on the ball with service, cleanliness and replenishment - I can’t fault this place!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Blog On - goody bag haul!This live video is me Blog On - goody bag haul!This live video is me going through the 5-8yrs and the 8+ goody bags from the @blogonuk kids event today. It’s an awesome haul!Blog On is run by the awesome @tiredmummyoftwo and is a platform which connects brands, PR agencies and content creators - what began as a networking event for bloggers has evolved in to the highlight of the kidfluencer year.Multiple brands organise stands to showcase their new products and connect with creators - the kids love it as they get to play with and interact with toys which have never been seen before. They’re not backwards in coming forward about their opinions either🤪For full disclosure I  paid for our tickets today and the goodie bags were part of that, although many of the extra toys we have been given today are for the purposes of creating promotional content in collaboration with brands.If you have an audience on any social media platform and then I highly recommend joining BlogOn to find out and potentially join any upcoming toy campaigns, and of course keeping an eye out for any future events - it was so lovely today to catch up with online friends if nothing else!I have tagged as many brands as I can - DM me if you’ve got any questions ♥️
Rainbow Magic!We are all obsessed with these ki Rainbow Magic!We are all obsessed with these kits from @skillmatics - they’re packed full of foam pieces with adhesive. You peel back paper from sections at a time and then apply foil which adds the colour to your piece.I decided to decorate a unicorn and I was impressed with just how many different items are in each kit, so many shapes to decorate and loads of foil in different colours.Each kit also comes with themed backgrounds, which you can add your pieces to and create a scene. There’s loads of different kits to choose from too - animals, dinosaurs, princesses - something for everyone.The foam pieces also have peel off backs so they make stickers.These kits retail at around £15 and with 10 backgrounds and 100+ foam stickers in each that represents excellent play value - great boredom busters for craftings sessions on rainy days or for travel or maybe as a party activity!
My favourite couple! 🩷💙I love the @craftbu My favourite couple! 🩷💙I love the @craftbuddyshop kits and have been collecting the Disney 100 album, which is now very hard to find so imagine how chuffed I was to find this new collection. These brand new @crystalartbuddies Disney pin badges are just adorable.There are fifteen to collect and these are decorated with the crystals like all of the kits but they’re on a high quality metal zinc alloy backing which can be work as a clip and also has a pin to make the perfect accessory for @disney fans!It’s no surprises they’ve won innovation awards! Add these to your wish lists now and keep your eyes peeled for a festive product announcement coming very soon (you heard it here first!)
