If you love crazy golf as much as we do, then Puttshack is a must-visit! We discovered it during a family day out to Westfield London, and it was such a fun surprise.
This isn’t your usual mini golf – it’s packed with clever tech! Each golf ball is chipped and linked to your player profile, so the scores are tracked automatically (no more scorecard arguments!). Every course is 9...
We are deep in our kids’ sports era at the moment — and while I’m actually really enjoying it, it does take a lot of planning. Making sure everyone’s eaten something half-decent, has the right kit, and is in the right place at the right time? It’s like a weekly military operation.
The bit I always find the hardest is food — especially after-school meals on the go . So I’ll take any...
Whilst standing around in the Lego aisle today waiting (patiently-ish) for her Lego-mad brother to choose his next creation, my daughter spotted this cute little Lego Friends set and asked if she could give it a go.
We haven’t really looked much at the Lego Friends range before — mostly because her older brother’s been more...
We recently finished reading The Wild Robot by Peter Brown at bedtime—and absolutely loved it. So naturally, we were thrilled to discover there’s a film based on the book too!
Can You Watch the Film Without Reading the Book?
Absolutely. If you haven’t read the book, you can still enjoy the film on its own. That said, if you have read the book, you’ll get a lot more out of some of the...
We’ve just finished reading The Wild Robot by Peter Brown and absolutely loved it. My 10-year-old and I were so hooked that we’ve already dived into the second book ( The Wild Robot Escapes )—and ordered the third one too!
What is The Wild Robot About?
The story follows a robot named Roz who finds herself shipwrecked on a remote island. She’s the only robot to survive the crash and...
We’re big David Walliams fans in our house — Super Sleuth and The Beast of Buckingham Palace are among our favourites — so when it came to choosing our next bedtime read, The Midnight Gang was an easy choice.
My daughter had spotted the book in our local library and, with World Book Day just around the corner, was very keen to dress up as one of the characters (mainly because it...
We had such a brilliant time at Babbacombe Model Village – I’m so glad we finally got round to going. From the moment we walked in, the children were off in all directions, full of excitement and not knowing where to look first!
There is just so much to see here. We walked around a few times and spotted new things each time, from tiny construction scenes and moving vehicles that our son loved...
My son, Oscar, has been loving the Spikey book series. Here is his review of the second book in the series, Spikey and the Caterpillar Sausage Cat
I absolutely loved the first Spikey book, which got me hyped up for the next book — and it exceeded my expectations! This book is a great carry-on from the first, and it’s got me super hyped up for the third Spikey book.
I’m not usually someone who enjoys reading non-fiction books, but when I was asked to review Not a Survival Guide by Nicole Howes , I was intrigued and wanted to give it a go! Mostly because the teenage years feel like they’re coming at me fast — and I want to be prepared.
I actually really enjoyed this book and feel like I’ve learned a lot. It’s also sparked some great conversations...
If you're on the hunt for a family-friendly, dog-welcoming, hot-tub-having kind of holiday, let me point you in the direction of Bodmin Holiday Park in Cornwall.
We recently returned from our third visit (yes, third!)—and we came with my whole family. That’s 10 adults, 6 children and 3 dogs. Not many places can cater for those kind of numbers (and also cater for the dogs!), but...
One of our favourite family-friendly Dartmoor activities is exploring Dartmeet, which some of you may also know as Badgers Holt. Dartmeet is known for it’s beautiful river, stepping stones and lovely picnic areas, and we love it all year round!
The kids absolutely love paddling in the shallow waters and exploring the rocks, and there is plenty of space for a picnic by the river. For...
Bedtime stories are still a really big thing in my house, and it’s getting harder and harder to consistently find great reads that my 10-year-old son and I both enjoy. We’ve devoured all of the Harry Potter books and absolutely loved the Morrigan Crow series (from Nevermoor). So, when looking for book recommendations for fans of those magical, twist-filled adventures, we stumbled across The...
