MUSIC AND DANCE FROM AROUND THE WORLD 2010

The weekend of the 10th and 11th of July saw the Play Forums annual multicultural festival in Grove Park. And I have to say that I haven’t had such a great weekend in as long as I can remember. The first time I went to this festival was last

A Day in June – An @Play Forum Event

On Sunday, June 6, the @Play Forum organised another excellent and free event, this time an extravaganza of things to do in the great outdoors, held at Worlebury Woods by the Water Tower.  “A Day in June” certainly had much to offer kids and adults

Baby Loves Disco!

Hello, I’m Becky and I love Disco. Furthermore, The Celestial One loves to dance, so when I heard that the Baby Loves Disco outfit would be coming to a city near us, well, it would have been folly not to dust of the party frocks and check it out! Claire

Two Days of Holiday Fun up on Worlebury Hill

Glancing at the event’s page of the Weston-super-Mum Community website last weekend, a potentially busy week ahead beckoned, with three opportunities to meet other parents and kids in just four days!    To start the week, there’s a WsMum

Easter Hunt - April 2, 2010

Ten individual families with their children, ages ranging from 14 weeks to six years, on Good Friday, met at the Old Town Quarry in Weston for an Easter Egg Hunt, all organised by myself, April Lewis, known as “Apes” to the now 220+ members of www.westonsupermum.com

Super New Friends at Ashcombe Park

When Weston-super-Mum, Gin, organised a picnic in Ashcombe Park at the beginning of March, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one thinking, “Bbrrr!”  An announcement for the event went up on our Community wall, regardless, and parents started to reply that

Falling back in love with my home town

Hello, I’m Karen, and I’m one of the other super mums Rebecca was telling you about. I thought I would tell you a little bit about myself in this, my first post of the new look Weston-super-Mums blog. In 2008, my man and me decided we needed a change.

All change...

A couple of weeks ago, a new online Community Called Weston-super-Mum was set up. Weston-super-Mum is a social networking site where all parents and carers of children can exchange information, find out what going on for families locally, meet other parents

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at The Bristol Hippodrome.

There are two things that come to mind when you say the words “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang;” one is that mean old Child Catcher and the other is an extremely clever and pretty flying car.  Before the curtain has even gone up at The Bristol Hippodrome,

January Sunset from Anchor Head and Marine Lake

The sky is crystal clear on this icy January afternoon.  My Girl and I are in our comfy, stay-at-home gear but something tells me that this is one not to miss.  I look at the clock on the oven: 3:42 pm.  We can do this.  “Lestie,

Pantomime! Snow White and the Seven Dwarves at The Playhouse, Weston-super-Mare

Forgive me if, mid-post, I burst into song or scream uncontrollably that there’s someone behind you. It’s just that Panto Season has fully taken hold of our household these past couple of days. More to the point, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves has entered

December Picnic on the Beach

Yes, you did read right.  You see, finally, the rain stopped: I would dance about it but that might be interpreted as a prompt for more.  Instead, I pick My Girl up from Funny Bunnies, armed with fruit, drink and a woolly hat.  The lack

Rain Never Stops Play

Looking out of our living room window, the first thing I notice is an immense splattering of raindrops on the pane and, beyond them, trees half-stripped of leaves blowing furiously in the high wind, chimneys below spewing out emissions from real fires

Weston Carnival 2009

After a year of pretending that I didn’t know where it was, I take the buggy. As my brother said, the kids will get tired and there’s only so much our shoulders can take.  The Carnival begins an hour after My Girl’s usual bedtime and finishes in

In the Cold November Rain

It had to happen sooner or later, didn’t it?  This week the rains came so on went the raincoats and the wellies and up went the umbrellas.  This week winter whispered and out came the gloves.  Three-year-olds adore this weather because
