Welcome back to another edition of Life Lately! This week, I planned on being a little different and king some different things alone, with family and with friends and this week I did just that. The weather has been a little up and down but that won’t stop us from having a good time.
I took my self out a on a solo date and headed to see my friend in theatre perform The Distance You Have Come. I was a little nervous, I’ve never been to the theatre on my own before, but you know what it was brilliant the show being on my own and having some good solo parenting fun. The show was absolutely excellent, it’s now finishes it’s run unfortunately but if it is in theatres near you I highly recommend going to see it. It’s about normal everyday life experiences and the outcome of life.
We finally got to go to our favourite museum The Natural History Museum, it took over a month for us to get a slot to attend due to all the restrictions, but it never disappoints, Leanora loved looking and learning all about the animals, her current favourite animals at the moment is owls. It’s a great way to get the kiddos out to learn about animals, stones and so much more, with the summer holidays fast approaching I highly recommend booking to go now!
As you know we are big foodies and always love trying new foods, so what better place to fill out bellies than heading to our Spitafields market, located a short walk from Liverpool station. The market is packed with loads of eateries from all over the world, to pizzas, dumplings and desert places. Not feeling to peckish or want to walk off all the yummy food, you can do that their too whilst perusing the many retail stands.
Cherries, who would of guessed it was a new favourite fruit, but we’ve been eating punnets after punnets, I’m sure we will ending our looking like a cherry not before long. Currently thinking of a recipe to use fresh cherries, any tip or ideas would be much appreciated.
Game day, wow! What a game the boys did good in Saturdays match. With a little room left to eat, after exploring Spitafields, I raced home and made a batch of my Lemon Pepper Wings, I mean who doesn’t love wings on game day or any! With another match this Wednesday I highly recommend on making them.
Well that’s this weeks life lately round up! Did you get out and do, see or eat anything new?
Let me know what you got planned for the week! Don’t forget you can also tag me over on Instagram or by using the #LondonMumma tag to show me what you get up to or keep up to date on what’s new on the blog via Bloglovin!

I've always, always loved milkshakes, ever since nesquick strawberry powder came into my life in the 90s, fast forward a decade or two I prefer to have the real thing. I mean there is nothing better than a thick, creamy bursting with real strawberries, strawberry juice from Pago and ice cream milkshake on a hot day with your bestie.
I have to say that whilst we had a good time making these cocktails and more fun drinking them, it was a bit of a nightmare. We had to make these milkshakes in the hallway, as the electric box kept on tripping, leaving the back of the house where the place we spend most of them our time, the kitchen without any electric. Crammed in the hallway, not the best place to make these, but sure was fun, even a little strange, these strawberry milkshakes took no time to whizz up, plus Leanora thought it was more like an adventure and cool, 'cool adventure' I believe were her exact words.
Goodies all laden out, blender brought in to the hallway, we got to making these super quick, relatively messy free strawberry milkshakes.
Ingredients
3 large scoop s of Cornish ice cream, or any vanilla that tickles your fancy
2 hand full's of fresh strawberry's, tree tops off (what L & I call it)
1/2 cup of milk
1 bottle of Strawberry Pago
Drop of vanilla extract
1. Pop your milkshake glasses into the freezer to chill for 10-15 minutes, we want to keep our milkshakes cold and thicker for longer, we used the same Eva Solo ones from our Strawberry Soda recipe.
2. Toss all ingredients into your blender whiz up for 60 seconds or the consistency that you like.
3. Pour into your chilled glasses, grab a straw kick back and enjoy, these super tasty and super addictive best strawberry milkshakes, with your bestie.

If you really want to keep cool and refreshed over the Spring Summer months, this fruity strawberry sparkling soda is the way forward.
A few days ago, I gutted out the garden, pulled up all the weeds and sprayed weed killer like crazy, 12 garden refuses bags down, it's fair to say I was sweating like a pig! Well actually I'm a woman, women don't sweat, we glow.....glowing like a pig?!?!
Needing to quench my thirst and a little sweet treat needed I decided to whip up a little non-alcoholic cocktail for me and my little helper, Leanora's two favourite things strawberry's and little miss boujis favourite sparkling water which she has as a treat from time to time. Combine the two and they are magical.
Pago juices are only produced from natural ingredients, sourced from the best producers in the world and to date they have 15 different flavours under there belt and have been around since 1888. So when they got in touch we were super excited to try there strawberry flavour juice.
These strawberry sparkling soda drinks are thee most refreshing drinks you must try this Spring, perfect for BBQ, parties or a midsummer's night to keep refreshed on these hot humid days and nights that we are having, they take no time to whip up and serve to friends and family.
Talking of parties, if you are having one, these strawberry sparkling sodas can be easily jazzed up, garnished with a few slices of fresh strawberry to compliment the Pago strawberry juice, a few springs of lavender as pictured above and serve in the darling glasses from Eva Solo, which I picked up from Formahouse.
Ingredients to make 4
2 bottles of strawberry Pago juice
1/4 cup sparkling water
4 cubed cups
fresh sliced strawberry's to garnish
Directions
Divide all your cubes into the 4 glasses evenly, half fill with your sparkling water (or fresh spring water for the kids) and top off with your strawberry Pago juice, give it a stir, dress with sliced fresh strawberry's, serve and enjoy.
