Damp Bestival

August 1, 2017 Emma Paton

So we've only just returned from Damp Bestival, sorry Camp Bestival in Dorset, so I thought it would be good to write a few words whilst things are still fresh (as fresh as they can be after a muddy festival) in my mind! I actually survived and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought and Finn was a total legend and as for the husband...

We are hitting family favourite festival Camp Bestival in July. Held in Lulworth Castle in Dorset, this will be my first ever trip to Camp Bestival and the first festival I have taken the kids. It's going to be interesting as I'm not going to lie... I don't like camping!

Our 8 Top Tips for Visiting Legoland Windsor

May 4, 2017 Emma Paton

So my son, Finn, is a SERIOUS Lego fan. From about age 3 he massively got into 'little lego' (as opposed to 'big lego' duplo) and in particular Ninjago. Now if you don't know what Ninjago is, it's a lego theme based around four young ninjas, Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane who are all trying to combat the evil Lord Garmadon and his skeleton army. Serious stuff.

Monster Mingle Halloween App

October 21, 2016 Emma Paton

Finn is a big fan of games on the iPad and iPhone these days, he's at a good age to understand them (3.5 yrs old) and will happily sit and play them independently, it always amazes me how they always just know what to do?! This is pretty useful when you've got a million chores to run around the house doing! We all need moments of time out from our little ones - be it for housework duties...

Mama Meet Ups

August 16, 2016 Emma Paton

Finlay Fox have been hosting a series of Mama Meet ups in collaboration with cool East London lifestyle store Olive Loves Alfie East over the Summer. As a mum who really struggled after having my first baby and found it lonely after having my second, I thought it would be nice to create a get together to meet other mums in a relaxed open setting.

Victoria Miro / Yayoi Kusama Exhibition

June 16, 2016 Emma Paton

We finally visited the Victoria Miro Gallery in Islington yesterday after hearing such great things about it. I feel so lucky to have this so close to where I live in London and I am starting to make more of an effort to do some more cultural adventures every week, even with baby Violet in tow.

May 7, 2016 Emma Paton

Just a really quick post to say we visited the newly re-opened Woodberry Wetlands yesterday and I can't recommend it enough! We are lucky that it's only a short 15 minute walk from our house in Stoke Newington, London

Mini London Part 2

May 2, 2016 Emma Paton

It's been a little while since I posted on activities for little ones (I did do a Mini London Part 1 post back in September see here). As the weather warms up I'm so excited to start spending more time outside and checking out some of these places. This is part 2 of our top London picks with children, indoor and outdoors, as we all know we can't rely on the Great British Summer weather!

Finn recently turned three and we threw him a dinosaur themed birthday party. I think this will be the last year we can get away with a small gathering at home (why are even these small gatherings so exhausting?!) with just a few pals over- next year we will need more space and have to hire somewhere out.

Staying in: January/ February TV edit

January 23, 2016 Emma Paton

With the colder months here, maternity leave and pending new baby arrival we are going to be watching a lot of TV in our house over the coming months...staying in is the new going out so I've heard...

I remember watching a fair bit on my iPad in the middle of the night whilst breastfeeding with Finn (Hart of Dixie and Friday Night Lights were easy viewing with lots of seasons worth to keep me going), so I need to start downloading and stocking up on some new programmes for this time round.

Kids Entertainment: Little Angel Theatre Company

December 18, 2015 Emma Paton

We recently got to go to the brilliant Little Angel Theatre Company to see 'Wow Said the Owl', a puppetry theatre production of Tim Hopwood's children's book. We were given gift vouchers as a Christmas present last year and have been waiting patiently for a production that was suitable for a 2 year old.

Mini London Part 1

September 2, 2015 Emma Paton

We went to some great places over the summer in London. One of our favourites was the Brutalist Playground, an architectural installation at RIBA (basically a giant foam safe climbing frame that you can build and add to), it has unfortunately finished now but there are always plenty of new things to see and do in London.

Toca Boca and Bamba Apps

August 23, 2015 Emma Paton

If you're looking for some good kids apps to download for your summer holiday travels (or for when you want some peace to eat in a restaurant with your little one or in general to have 5 minutes of quiet time to yourself!) I can really recommend Toca Boca.
