Lakes Distillery

Hubs and I recently took a rare day to ourselves, with O at school and Q at nursery for the day.  We took off to Carlisle for the morning to do some Christmas shopping before heading to the Bistro at the Lakes Distillery, near Keswick, for lunch.  Time together as a couple without the children,… Read More

Kinetic Sand Sandcastle Set – Review

by mentalparentals, in category Reviews
Kinetic Sand Sandcastle set

After seeing the television advertisements, O has wished for his own Kinetic Sand set for months.  I’m not a huge fan of sensory and messy play – goodness knows I have enough mess to clear up to start off with – so when I was asked if we would like to review the Kinetic Sand Sandcastle set,… Read More

Rewind a few weeks to the 1st September and it’s our fourth Wedding Anniversary.  We spent the day travelling home from our first holiday as a family of four and arrived home late after a ridiculously long day.  We celebrated with a bottle of champagne the night before with dinner in the hotel but had no other… Read More

Keeping Kids Cool with Minions Ice Lollies

by mentalparentals, in category Food, Reviews
Minions Ice Lollies

We’ve had some really lovely weather lately and, although the sun hasn’t been shining all summer, the temperature has stayed consistently in the twenties.  O is generally good at drinking plenty – as long as I keep his water bottle topped up with squash, he just keeps drinking it.  But it isn’t really summer unless… Read More

Carlisle Under Siege – Carlisle Castle Review

by mentalparentals, in category Cumbria, Day's Out
Carlisle Castle

We were asked by the lovely team at English Heritage to visit Carlisle Castle for the ‘Carlisle Under Siege’ event at the weekend.  I hadn’t visited the castle since I was a child and have been meaning to take O for a while, so this was the perfect opportunity!  We parked at the nearby car park… Read More

Lake District Wildlife Park – Review

by mentalparentals, in category Cumbria, Day's Out
Lake District Wildlife Park

Hubs had taken the day off work on Friday and, as a special half-term holiday treat, we decided to head out to the Lake District Wildlife Park at Bassenthwaite, near Keswick, Cumbria.  It was another hot day, so the boys put their shorts and t-shirts on and we all lathered up in sun lotion.  We… Read More

Puzzling Place, Keswick – Review

by mentalparentals, in category Day's Out, Family, Reviews
Puzzling Place, Keswick

During the holidays, we’re always looking for new places to visit and interesting things to do.  Partly to occupy our 4 year old, O, but it’s also nice to find activities that we can all enjoy together.  We had been told about the Puzzling Place centre in Keswick and decided it was worth a trip!

Last weekend, we enjoyed the company of Donna and her family and so wanted to find something fun for the children to do that didn’t put too much strain on my heavily pregnant self.  We decided to visit The Beacon Museum in a town nearby called Whitehaven, as it’s always been a great day out… Read More

Personalised Space Patrol Alien Catcher Book – Review

by mentalparentals, in category Reviews

A few days before the 2015 Cumbria Floods all kicked off, I was contacted by James of Amazing Pages asking if we’d like to review a personalised book from their new range.  I input a few details in to the website order form, uploaded a photograph and that was that – sorted.  I just had to… Read More

by mentalparentals, in category Reviews
Jones Bootmaker

Every Mum has a Mum Uniform.  I love my Mum Uniform.  When I’m not at work, you can generally find me hovering around a cup of tea, wearing a comfy top, jeans and Converse sneakers.  The lovely folk over at Jones Bootmaker asked if I’d like to review an item from their Ladies collection, and… Read More
