This weekend, we started our Easter holidays with a bang, and took Erin and her best friend off to see Disney on Ice World of Enchantment at the Genting Arena in Birmingham. We decided to arrange the visit as a total surprise, not even telling her who was coming let...
It's the classic Hollywood Horror film storyline isn't it? Children and spooky going's on are a match made in heaven. As much of a cliché as it may be, add a child into the equation of a potentially unsettling situation and it suddenly becomes a whole lot more...

We are really looking forward to the Easter Break. If I'm honest it could not come soon enough! Two weeks of no school runs, no chaos in the mornings, and dare I saw it the odd 'lie in' if I'm lucky!! My favourite part of the Easter Holidays is spending time together...
Here at Real Mum Reviews, we are really excited about the Easter Holidays, for a number of reasons. Not only is it my birthday in early April (woop!) but we have two weeks without the craziness of the school run, and our infamous annual Easter Egg Hunt to prepare for....
