The modern family is currently enjoying the rain (!) in California. A good friend lives off Skyline Blvd. in Woodside, on the western ridge of Silicon Valley. We love to visit at her renovated 1930s mountain cabin, which is nestled amongst giant Redwoods and fragrant dark green Bay trees. There is always some sort of …
I love the way you cook for me. I love the way you hug me. I love the way you look. I love the way you smile at me. I love the way you tickle me. I love you. -Emily Scott, age 7 (and in impeccable handwriting, I might add!) …
Press trip Wednesday marks the launch of the Disneyland Paris Magical Moments Festival, where you can step into the spotlight of your favourite Disney classic. Here’s a pic of me entering the set of Monsters Inc. Scream Academy. #youwouldnotbelievewhatwasbehindthedoor! I stopped by The Wonderful World of Alice and the Mad Hatter to have a …
Last Friday morning my youngest, aged 6, didn't want to part with a pound coin in order to wear home clothes to school. In case you've landed on this blog from across the pond, Friday was Red Nose Day/Comic Relief, a fund raising appeal where basically all of the UK comes together to raise money for charity. The evening culminates in a live telethon, and many celebs donate their time in some way. Gordon Brown, JLS, Justin Bieber, Paul McCartny, Davina McCall, and Keira Knightley all made an appearance this year. It's really an amazing event, raising more than £74 million on this campaign.
I love the concept of Center Parcs: Abandon your car, adopt bicycles and do lots of stuff outdoors with the family. Fabulous. Sign me up please. Center Parcs kindly asked the Modern Family to try out their park at Longleat Forest. I’ve outlined our experience below and put together a few …
I’ve always been hopeless when it comes to recognising celebs. Fifteen years ago when I was fresh-off-the-silicon-valley-boat and seated right next to Chris Evans at a press lunch at Langhams, I was more interested in the tech exec at the table. Later, the agency director whispered in my ear, don’t you know who that was? …
And you thought I'd never post it! This pic was taken about 1982. I had just changed schools. My parents thought I would do better at the Catholic school. They didn't quite get that there was erm, more to worry about at fee-paying school, but hey ho they had my best interests at heart. …
Yesterday was a bit surreal. Paramount Pictures invited us to the European premiere of Never Say Never 3D, the biopic film of Justin Bieber's rise to fame from ordinary kid to You Tube star to selling out Madison Square Gardens.What's refreshing about Bieber is he is not a Disney/Nickelodeon manufactured creation. He is social media success story, using YouTube and Twitter to develop a loyal fan base that fuelled his explosive rise to stardom.
It's hard to describe exactly how loyal his fans are. When we arrived at the O2 the line of excited teens clad in purple already snaked around the corner. I Heart JB signs were everywhere. As we had a coffee in Starbucks, two girls that couldn't have been older than my babysitter, saw our press passes and asked if I could Pleeeaze help them meet Justin. We love him.
