Graco Modes 3 Lite Travel System Review #GenerationGraco
I’ve said it a lot recently – Graco is a name has been trusted by many parents for decades, and by me for almost twenty years now. But it’s been a while since I had a baby small enough to push around on wheels, so when Graco sent over the Modes 3 Lite Click Connect Travel System I enlisted the help of the lovely Emma with baby Danny to put it through its paces for me. It’s a neat looking system, and like so...
London Aquarium – it’s rather brain-breaking | #MerlinAnnualPass
The final chapter of our South Bank adventure was the Sea Life centre. I’ll admit, this one excited me the least. We’ve visited our local Sea Life in Weymouth loads of times – and really, how different could they be? Turns out, really very different indeed! The Sea Life in London is in the Old County Hall building, along with Shrek’s Adventure, the London Dungeons, and right next door to the London Eye. The...
So THAT’S What The London Eye Is All About | #MerlinAnnualPass
I’ll admit it had been a looooong day, and I was actually rather happy at the prospect of a gentle rotation on the London Eye. Except the closer we walked, the higher it looked… until I was doing a pretty good job of hiding my total abject terror of going up to a very excited 9yr old Bear (who seriously has no concept of fear. She’ll say yes to anything if it looks a bit fun). The queue took no time at all, and...

Graco Milestone Review – the only car seat you need to buy? #GenerationGraco
Being asked to do a Graco Milestone review really took me back a few years. Waaay back when I began this parenting malarky almost 18 years ago (EIGHTEEN YEARS! *cries*) car seats were honestly a baffling thing. Of course, the Big News on the Parenting Street back then was the totes awesome ‘travel system’ idea – utterly groundbreaking, the car seat that could sit in the pram chassis so you didn’t have to...
Steak with rocket, grana padano and balsamic glaze
When I was sent some amazing aged Grana Padano I knew without question exactly what I was going to do with it. Two years ago we had the most amazing experience, spending a month in a motorhome exploring Italy. In the very best way that happens when you travel, it was a month of assaults on our senses as we experienced as much as we could of the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Italian regions we passed through. But through all of the...
