Bracknell Lookout Discovery Centre

So today we ventured out to the Lookout  Discovery Centre in Bracknell. After hearing good things and it being recommended we thought we would try it. Our usual family outings usually consist of the farm, park or swimming so it was great to go somewhere a bit different. The discovery centre is basically a science centre for children, all the activities are interactive and they have great areas for the under 5's. They had water play, building blocks, ride ons and colouring. They also had all the science exhibitions like a mini hot air balloon, light display, building a bridge and more. Mia absolutely loved it! At first I thought she would get bored as a lot of the displays qhereor older children but she loved it all! We spent a good 3 hours and Mia would of happily stayed for a lot longer! 

I would definitely recommend the lookout discovery centre to other families looking for a day out thats a little bit different!

Wedding update

This blog has been a little neglected recently. Mostly due to my hectic life at the moment! Work, wedding planning and looking after a two year old are taking up all my time! 

This is a little update regarding the plans for the wedding. 

We have booked all the vendors, DJ, caterers, mobile bar etc. We have decided on all the decorations and have started to collect materials together to create the look we want. 

Most importantly I have found my dress! One shop, 3rd dress I tried on and that was it! I was deliberating between 2 and I will share a photo of the dress I decided not to go for. 


I love this dress a lot! It's very princess but it's very unusual with the detail around the top and the scoop neck. It suited me and I loved it, however it was heavier than the dress I have chosen and in summer I think keeping cool is important and not having too much weight to the dress  

My dress is actually quite different to this one and when I eventually share photographs of the wedding you will see why, but until then you will just have to wait! 

My bridesmaids are in different pastel shades of the same dress. 


This is the dress, this photo doesn't do it justice at all! Bad lighting and iphone equals disastrous photography! 

The colours I am going for are these minus the coral/orange shade

This is an example of bridesmaids in a similar kind of pastel look


I think it looks really pretty for a summer wedding and this way I can ensure each girl is in a colour that suits her.
