The highlight of any holiday at Coombe Mill farm for the whole family is the daily feed run and tractor ride, with the hope each day that they would get to drive tne tractor with farmer Nick. First stop every morning would be the pigs and the chickens with the children deciding who would get Continue reading →
Dance Into The Holiday Season With L’Occitane
It’s that time of year again when we all hunt the perfect gifts for our friends and family. Buying for kids is seemingly easy with an endless array of toys and gifts aimed at the younger members of the family. When buying for older family and friends though the choice always seems quite limited with Continue reading →
My Sunday photo – 9/11/2014
Each week at dance 2 children get to take a trophy home. There are 2 dance teachers and each chooses the child they think deserves it that week for whatever reason. This week TP ‘won’ 1 of the trophies for ‘Good dancing and rehearsing’. He was so proud of himself when he told me and Continue reading →
An Autumnal feed run
On Saturday 25th October 2014 we packed the car, strapped the kids in their seats and headed off down the M5 and A30 to St Brewards, Bodmin for a week of farm fun at Coombe Mill. We however didn’t tell the kids where we were going, and they squealed with delight when they saw the sign Continue reading →

Extra hour in bed don’t you mean an extra hour before CBeebies
As I’m writing this it’s 5 am I’m at Coombe Milland I’ve already been awake for over a hour! Yes I’ve been awake with TP since before 4am! You see he always wakes between just before 5am and 6am. On a normal day I can keep him in bed with me until 6 or 6.30 Continue reading →
Cars 3 wheeled Tri-Scooter Deal
I don’t know about you but around this time every year I am always in the market for a bargain, especially if it means that the tiny 3 get to find a few more gifts under the tree on christmas morning. So you can imagine how pleased I was when I had an email from Suppose.com to Continue reading →
Parents Evening
Last thursday saw the 1st of 3 parents evenings that JR will have in year 1. To be honest I was not really looking forward to it, you see last year he wasn’t always the best behaved pupil in class and he didn’t always (ever) like to sit and do his reading or writing. Phonics seemed Continue reading →

They love the programme and watch it every night just before the Bedtime hour on cbeebies at 5.50pm. The magazine itself centres on the main characters two ragdoll Continue reading →
Luck! – A bingo infographic
Does luck really exist or is it a frame of mind? When I was much younger I had a season ticket at The Hawthorns, each home game me and my dad would do the same things in the same order. Why? Because at some point we’d done those exact things in that exact order and Continue reading →
x is for X-Chromosome
Females have 2 X-Chromosomes one retained from their mother and one retained from their father, Males on the other hand retain the X-Chromosome from their mother and a Y-Chromosome from their father. So as I was struggling with what to come up with for my X I googled ‘Things beginning with X’, looking back now that Continue reading →
Loom Band Freddo Art
A few weeks ago I received a parcel in the post that put quite a childish grin on my face, it was a box of loom bands and the instructions to make my very own loom band picture of a freddo the frog. This summer Cadbury’s world in Bournville, Birmingham unveiled a giant freddo the Continue reading →
Yesterday I attended the Tots 100 blog conference Blogcamp. Happily for me it was held very close to home in Birmingham City centre. Over the last few years JR and TP have been getting more and more interested in the Marvel and DC comic book heroes, so whilst in Birmingham I decided a visit to a comic book shop might be in order. This shop is where me and Mr M&TTT spent quite a few hours and pounds when we first started dating way back in college. Nostalgia and Comics, if you’re ever in Birmingham it’s well worth finding and having a look around whether you are into comics or not.
