Review: Horrible Histories Live On Stage, Belgrade Theatre, Coventry

[Ad-Review] For the last six months, Mini’s has been obsessed with Horrible Histories. She loves to watch the TV programmes and has also been enjoying reading the book collection. She was therefore beyond excited to be invited to see Horrible Histories Live On Stage. Mini loves the mixture of humour, silliness and songs of the TV show. The historical tales are packed with plenty of gruesome and gory facts and Mini was hoping to see plenty of this in the theatre show.

Exploring The National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire

Exploring The National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire

Taking advantage of the first dry Sunday in a good few weeks, we headed out for a family day out to explore the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. During our Summer holidays to Holland we had visited my Great Uncle’s grave from World War II. It was a poignant moment and one that Mini seemed interesting in learning about. I thought it would be a great opportunity to build upon this with a visit to the arboretum, and a great chance to get outside in the Autumn fresh air. The National Memorial Arboretum is an 150 acre site, home to…

[Ad-Review] Rainy weekends are the perfect excuse for playing family games. We were recently sent a copy of Colourbrain Disney Edition from Big Potato Games and thought it was a great opportunity to test it out. Colourbrain Disney Edition is a quiz game with two twists. The first being that you’ve got all of the answers before you start the game, the second being that they are all colours. The game was easy to set up, played with cards it didn’t need a large area to play which was ideal. As it’s quite compact it would also make a great…

Our Family Road Trip to Holland

Our Family Road Trip to Holland

I spent a lot of time thinking about the ideal destination for our summer holidays this year. Knowing that the children would be 6 years and 7 months I needed to think what would work for both of them. After a lot of deliberation, we decided on a family road trip to Holland. I liked the idea that we could plan our own itinerary, go at our own pace and pack as much as we needed for the kids in the car. Last year my brother visited Holland with his children and recommended it as family friendly, so I was…
