I’m constantly on the hunt for little local thin

I’m constantly on the hunt for little local things to do with Arlo, so today I thought I’d share 5 of my favourite south London toddler friendly spots (okay, and a few more) which never fail us come rain or shine!

- Hewitt’s Farm, Orpington: Going fruit and vegetable picking is such a lovely way to spend an afternoon (and run off a little steam). I love that Arlo can see where certain foods come from as the seasons change, and picking the apples here can also make for a lovely afternoon of baking afterwards.
- National Maritime Museum, Greenwich: I love their indoor play area for a great rainy day adventure, but have recently discovered their shiny new ‘Cove’ outdoor playground in the park (which is always always great).
- All A-Board Tiny Town, Sidcup: There are so many little tiny towns, but this one in Sidcup is so well done and looked after, and is always (relatively) calm and chilled which I love.
- Horniman Museum & Gardens, Forest Hill: There are so many great exhibitions on here all the time (the current ‘Dinosaur rEvolution’ is so great for kids), plus the gardens, Butterfly house and park opposite mean you can literally spend all day here and some.
- Beckenham Place Park: If in doubt, always BPP! The sandpit, huge play area, cafe, woodland and endless parkland mean it’s consistently fail-safe.
- Crystal Palace Park: If we want to visit the dinosaurs, say hello to the ducks or visit the free farm this is always a great bet. Plus the sand-pit is Arlo’s diggers favourite.
- Kelsey Park: Arguably the best place to feed the ducks and say hello (things you never thought you’d type), the ducks (and squirrels) are *very* friendly so it’s a lovely spot for some nature spotting. There’s also a mini golf course and lovely playground- and if there’s one thing we love, it’s a cracking playground.

Little A and I would love to hear your favourite spots too (I promise it doesn’t have to be exclusive to south of the river)!

If I'm not dressed like a Blue Peter presenter/Ød

If I'm not dressed like a Blue Peter presenter/Ødegaard playing away (one for you, dad! I promise I only Googled the spelling!) this is pretty much my every day rushing around outfit (with the change out of jeans/smart trousers)! There's definitely a funny caption in relation to this t-shirt (maybe it's the fact I like to wear my reaction when I see Mamma Mia on ITV2 on a Sunday afternoon) but anyway! A rainy Tuesday outfit for you (with the addition of a not-pictured scarf as an umbrella because I'm not grown up enough to remember where I leave mine)... ☂️

Back with a silly little outfit because the sun is

Back with a silly little outfit because the sun is shining! Feel like this is unintentionally '80s (meets '60s childrens TV entertainer/news broadcaster) but my primary coloured love affair is here to stay 🖍️

Hopefully I might have timed this for your Sunday

Hopefully I might have timed this for your Sunday night bedtime routine, and if so I thought I'd end the week with 5 of my favourite ever cleansers (part 1 apparently, as I realised there's only so much I can say in 55 seconds). It's my faaave part of my skincare routine (and one thing I feel quite confident in chatting about in the ol' skincare arena), and thought I'd share the handful that are as failsafe as a striped top/leather jacket/great pair of 501s...
- @emmahardieskincare Moringa Cleansing Balm: (with thanks to @dulcie.emerson for the intro!) the latest of my arsenal and LORDY I can see why people love this so much. So luxurious! So indulgent! But also works an absolute charm at removing everything and leaving my skin peachy soft.
- @lizearlebeautyco Cleanse & Polish: A.K.A the GOAT. There's not much else I can say about this except for I know I'll always be able to count on this. She's the Katharine Hepburn of cleansers; a total classic that makes removing mascara an un-panda-like and very easy experience.
- @skinceuticals Blemish & Age Cleanser: I feel like I heard the name of this and it truly spoke to me. I was sold! If ever there was a scent to get you up in the morning it's this- a great morning or second cleanse for a thorough squeaky (but not harsh) clean.
- @cliniqueuk Take The Day Off: As balms go, this one is the cool girl cleanser. She's no fuss! No fragrance! Just waltzes in, takes your make-up off and leaves no trace. The responsible mum of cleansers just cleaning things up at the end of a make up party.
- @elemis_uki Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm: On the other end of the balm spectrum is this, but this is my holy grail. Gold in a pot! It's your at home facial therapist in a jar, who not only does a great job at make up removal but leaves you glowing (and smelling) like an angel too. I always have an (nearly) empty one winking at me from the side... 🧴🧼 (p.s thank you @wishwishwish for creating a filter which makes even my most haphazard creative attempts look arty!)
