This day I love.......

What's not to love about afternoon tea? I love cake, love sandwiches and of course scone with jam and butter delicious. Although not a tea drinker there are often fruit teas which I love or sometimes hot chocolate. Either way I cannot think of a better treat.

Imagine my excitement when Reform Social and Grill emailed me to inform me of their new Mini afternoon tea, but this afternoon tea had been designed for children and the big kid in me simply wanted to give it a try. Mini afternoon tea comprises of:

Peanut butter and jam sandwiches
Fish finger and ketchup sandwich
Chicken sandwich
Jamie dodger biscuit
Ginger bread man
Chocolate chip scone
Jelly and custard pot
Strawberry milkshake

The girls had a quick look at the menu and my husband opted for the traditional afternoon tea with free flowing bubbles. I however was far too excited about mini afternoon tea and ordered one of these to try.

My husbands afternoon tea looked amazing and very traditional. 


I managed to sneak a test of the after 8 meringue and it was divine. Mine and the girls mini afternoon tea arrived in metal lunch boxes and looked incredible, the girls eyes lit up and they soon tucked in


They licked their lips with delight and enjoyed every item of their afternoon tea. I loved it too, the gingerbread was home made, the sandwiches just the right amount of filing and the strawberry milkshake tasted fresh.


What a wonderful idea from Reform Social and Grill and incredibly well executed. If they were closer I could see us treating ourselves to afternoon tea more often.


Many thanks to  Reform Social and Grill for inviting us to Afternoon Tea, all words are my own opinion.

February half term seems like such a long time ago.  This post has been sat in drafts waiting from me to finish since then.  With sickness and assignments it just has not been finished.

I took the girls on the 4 hour train journey to Brighton.  It involved 3 trains but this actually broke up the journey nicely and kept the girls entertained.  There was plenty to see as we went through London.

Almost towards the end of our journey my youngest got a little bored and decided it was time for Mummy to wear the Trunki ToddlePak.  We made a game out of it and it kept her entertained.

The weather in Brighton was cold, wet and incredibly windy.  The taxi driver who dropped us off at out hotel advised us to be extremely careful and not venture out of the hotel due to the high winds.  I took his advice and opted to stay in the hotel.  Well it would be rude not to have a spot of Afternoon tea after all that travelling.

The girls began to settle in and loved that we had come on holiday.  We had come to visit my sister who lives in Brighton.  The girls wasted no time in showing her our hotel, and of course this had to be done in hotel slippers.

The wind started to calm down a little later in the week and we decided to investigate Brighton Pier.  The pier is full of fairground rides, from the traditional

to the more modern.

Although the girls favourite thing was to play on the beach

For our final day in Brighton we decided to treat the girls to a yummy breakfast at the Creperie. It was really delicious and I am tempted to get on a train to go back just for breakfast.

After breakfast we had just enough time to visit the Sealife centre before we headed back on the train.

We had a really wonderful holiday in Brighton and it was great to see my sister.  I think in the summer months when the weather is better we shall return.

I have joined weeks 8 and 9 together as we were on holiday in week 8 and so could not get the post live for the end of the week.  Here is the past two weeks

Sunday

Sunday lunchWe had Sunday Lunch out.  It was a real treat and the food was lovely.  We are looking forward to visiting again


Monday

reading a bookMy youngest is taking a real interest in reading.  I caught her cuddled up reading a book to herself.  It was very cute


Tuesday

the dogsWe had a Teksta Newborn to review and this picture made me giggle.  I managed to get all of them to sit together.


Wednesday

hair dressersIt was a wet and miserable day, I managed to get the girls a last minute hair dressers appointment.  My youngest actually sat in the chair for more than 5 minutes which is a first

Thursday

on the trainWe began the first of 4 trains on the 5 hour journey to Brighton to visit my sister.  The girls did get a little fed up, but I cannot blame them really.  My youngest decided I had to wear the Trunki Toddle Pak.


Friday

afternoon teaAfternoon tea by the sea, the girls loved it.  Cakes and sandwiches, with a glass of milk.


Saturday

playing on the beachIt might be raining but that is not going to stop us from having a good time on our holidays.

Sunday

Back from holiday, tired following the long train journey and feeling under the weather.  There can only be one thing for it, Mr Potato head play


Monday

Some days you just need a walk through the woods to clear your head.  
Tuesday

cuddly dogsI caught the dogs all curled up together on the bean bag.  They looked very cute


Wednesday

So proud of my eldest, a badge in gymnastics and star of the day at school.
Thursday

doctor dress upToday was our Doc McStuffins twitter party.  Everyone had a great time, there was cake, games and flashing shoes.  My eldest loves to dress up and loves Doc McStuffins so it was a great day for her.
















Friday

Youngest selfieI love this selfie my youngest took.  She was playing with my camera and I came across this.  



















Saturday

watching tv
I have an assignment deadline for my course on Friday which means I am frantically trying to get everything finished.  It did mean I had to resort to electronic baby sitting methods.  Judging by the giggles coming from the girls I do not think they mind too much.
