It was with great excitement that we headed out to a press night at the newly opened Bush Hall Dining Rooms in Shepherds Bush last Tuesday. Munchkin insisted that she should wear a 'posh dress' because she was going out for dinner.  So she changed and we headed out to meet some friends and their child in the newly opened ...

Also we have a pair of tickets to give away for Inside My Imagination. All you have to do is RT one of our tweets about the competition and make sure you  follow us ...

Today's guest post was written by Ruth's OH @Astro_Den and was originally posted on Feb 9th 2013 on www.astronomersden.wordpress.com When I was a small astronomer one of the highlights of my early interest was the London Planetarium. It is one of those trips with my parents that I remember very fondly and still feel the edge of excitement from the start ...

Here's a great way to spend a family day out or a nice way to grab yourself some 'me-time'.... It may be cold outside but Spring has sprung and the flowers are starting to boom at the Country Living Spring Fair.

The lovely people at Virgin Money Travel gave us some tickets to London Zoo and asked us to go enjoy ourselves and write about it - an offer we were not about to refuse! We could not have had more perfect weather for the day with a clear blue sky, bright sunshine and crisp, fresh air.  London Zoo is situated in ...

Well, you know that Loretta and I are keen supporters of all things reading, for both parents and kids and when we were contacted by Polka Theatre to help them raise awareness of their London Bookswap event, we definitely wanted to be involved. This Bookswap is a London wide event managed by Discover Children’s Centre, who we visited just a few ...

I LOVE the theatre.  Half my degree at University was theatre based.  I enjoy the experience of pretty much any type of performance just as I love going to exercise my critical appreciation.  And I am really loving passing this on to Munchkin.  I am lucky we live in London. There are so many venues with so many shows aimed ...

Bear Cub & Munchkin are both at the stage when they not only need a lot of exercise but where they need a lot of mental stimulation too.  Ruth and I tackle this by trying to take them out on various day trips - preferably free or at least low-cost - at least once a week.  We've found there is ...

If your child is anything like BearCub i.e. like a dog, he has to be exercised outdoors at least twice a day! With the nights drawing in and weather colder and wetter it is sometimes difficult to find outdoor things to do that are going to occupy him, and more importantly, wear him out. It is even more of a ...

It's half term and we decided that this year we would make the effort to go on holiday for the week instead of squandering it, so we booked a week with the lovely Fiona, Nick and family down at Coombe Mill in Cornwall.  I decided to keep a holiday diary and share it with you all over the week that ...
