Family Day out - Aldenham Country Park/ Farm

-
Last year I visited my first pumpkin patch at Aldenhams Country Park / Farm.
I was 10 months pregnant and saw they had a whole Halloween theme on the farm for children so my husband and I vowed when our little one was here we would go back.

Fast forward to October this year and guess where we went? Yes.. Aldenhams Country Park / Farm - with Aria and our friends.

 Its a super cute place for your little ones and especially at halloween as they have activities on at the Farm and its all decorated to make it feel spooky (but not scary).

 

On arrival you pay in the farm shop for entry (£6.00 per adult) and £4.50 for the car park. 
You have the option to purchase feed for the animals / pumpkin decorating / ride on the tractor and other activities but I didn't see a breakdown in prices so I would check with them first before you spend a small fortune.

We just paid for entry and the car park as Aria is still quite young for the activities but I advise you to take cash (they do accept card).

Once in you can walk around and see all the animals and we saw a lot! 
So many people were feeding them and having pictures. 
Even though it was very busy it was pleasant!

    
 

Its a small layout which means everything is easily accessible and pram friendly if you needed to take one with you. We preferred to carry Aria so she could see everything.

Once we had seen all the farm animals we went straight to the pumpkin patch - I was slightly disappointed it wasn't as big as last year but the Farm compensated with more animals and more to do. One other negative would be the sheet of plastic/ mesh under the pumpkins as it didn't has the authentic pumpkin patch feel.
However despite all that it was still enjoyable to look at them all and choose one!

 

After all the pumpkin fun we decided to go on the tractor ride which lasted about ten minutes, it slowly went around the pumpkin patch and farm animals.. playing themed music.
The ride was £2 per adult.. it was quite nice to give our legs a rest and taken the fresh air and enjoy the view!

 

Shortly after the ride I fell in love with a scarecrow .. they have these dotted around which as you can see form my face I LOVE and we headed to Farmer Jacks spooky shack.



Overall it was a lovely few hours spent in the autumn sunshine on the farm.
The various activities make it that more exciting than just a farm and looking around all the families looked as though they were enjoying it.

To be honest... I think it will be.. the same again next year!

Aldenham Country Park is in Elstree - Radlett WD6 3BA.

Are you a Mamia Mum?

Have you tried the Mamia range from Aldi? I have to admit I love an Aldi shop and have previously bought quite a few items from their Special Buys... who doesn't love the middle aisles of magical items?! Once Aria arrived they were my first choice for nappies for her as they are voted one of the best brands for newborns and not to mention great value! So when they got in touch and asked me to review their Mamia range I was more than excited! Yes a trip to Aldi without making excuses to my husband. I was given £30 and I was shocked with how much I could buy! (pictured above was just half of it) Being a new mum brings all kinds of stresses and you start realising quite quickly that you want the best for your baby but you also need to shop a lot smarter. The Mamia range offers the core essentials you need for your baby, so I was keen to put it to the test. Nappies and Nappy sacks   Whilst I had previously used these, I had recently swapped to another supermarket br...

Mom Life - The Style Bubble baby products I am Loving - 6 months plus

Every so often I love to share what I have found useful. Why? Because being a mum its hard to know what you need, what you don't need and how much money it all is! So heres a little insight to what I am loving and I feel has been money well spent: Matchstick Monkey: Have you heard of Matchstick monkey? All I can say is move over Sophie the giraffe there is a new animal in town and I love it.. and as you can see so does Aria! I purchased this when Aria was 4 months old and I haven't looked back. It comes in all kinds of colours, its easy for baby to hold and chew/ suck on AND has a bumpy texture behind the monkeys head to help babies with the texture of brushing their teeth. She takes it most places and its easier to sterilise. For me this teething toy is a game changer and I recommend it to everyone with babies!     The IKEA highchair: Highchairs can be bulky/ expensive and hard to choose. I was so put off by the whole process until my...

Mom Life - The Style Bubble baby products i am loving!

I have had a few of my followers suggest I blog more about Mum life and so I've decided to do a round up of my products I am absolutely loving so far! Being a mum to be or a new mum its sooo easy to fall in the trap of buying every single product on the market because you are led into believing you need it all, truth is you don't. So I have decided to help you cut out the crap and purchase the things you do need and not what you are being told to buy! The Snuzpod:  Originally I wanted to be classic and purchase a Moses basket. Its traditional, pretty and my sister had one and my mum had them when we were babies so I wanted to follow their footsteps. My husband suggested otherwise and to be honest I am thankful he did. The Snuzpod is pricey but pricey with perks. It has a mesh side panel, so when you are in bed you can watch baby, quite comforting in the early days as all you want to do is stare at them. If you want you can also remove the side so you connect ...
