I am very excited to be able to feature Thames Con which is taking place on 28th April 2019 in Abingdon.  This is Thames Con’s second year and having seen the plans it looks fab!  Thames Con is about celebrating the world of comics, TV and film through activities, celebrity guests, cosplay and more.  Better still, it’s a completely family friendly event right on our doorstep!

The Easter holidays are almost upon us!  There are LOADS of events taking place across Oxfordshire and beyond.  You can easily find something to suit all ages and interests here.  Lets hope for great weather so we can get outdoors and enjoy celebrating Spring!

My goodness there’s a lot of events in Oxfordshire this weekend!  From lambing to science fairs, orienteering to painting.  It’s tricky to pick which one we like best!

With Mothers Day fast approaching why not treat the whole family to a day out?  We’ve found loads of venues offering free entry for Mums over the Mothering Sunday weekend.  Where would your Mum like to go?

As always here is our weekly round up of all the best family fun events taking place across Oxfordshire this weekend.  Discover historic artifacts, do some crafting or maybe learn a bit of science?  Have fun whatever you decide to do!

I was recently told about the SOFEA Community Larder based in Didcot which I had never heard of before.  I’ve discovered its a great way to save money on your food bill as well as having an important community ethos so thought I’d share the details.  One thing to point out – It isn’t a food bank!

This weekend we’ve got Lego, fossils, dinosaurs, storytelling and more happening.  It’s a child’s dream weekend!  If you’re looking for things to do in Oxfordshire then look no further.  Have a great weekend!

We are very excited to have been invited to get involved with Wallace and Gromit’s Musical Marvels Tour.   The timing is just right to celebrate Wallace and Gromit’s 30th anniversary year.  The highly anticipated tour through May and June with Carrot Productions is set to be a musical highlight of 2019!

We’ve been well and truly spoiled with gorgeous weather this week haven’t we!  It’s made me want to plan summer holidays and days out.  Sadly the sunshine isn’t due to last for the weekend.  Thankfully though there are lots of indoor events to enjoy at various museums and venues across Oxfordshire.  See what’s on in Oxfordshire below:

We’re on the count down now to my maternity leave and the scary thought of having 1 less full time wage.  I have 6 weeks left at work.  6 weeks of doing as much as we can to save and prepare before our income dramatically drops.  Here are some things I’ve already started doing, as well as some top tips from my blogging friends on how to survive financially while on maternity leave.
