MinMin




Heading into Birmingham’s Chinatown for food is a real treat for me because I love freshly made Chinese food- especially satay. Until now, I haven’t had a favourite restaurant. But, since I found Minmin, that’s all changed.

My rookie error when looking for Chinese restaurants had been to head to those under the nose of the Hippodrome. Minmin is a little more tucked away (opposite the entrance to the Arcadian carpark) but that didn’t stop it being almost full.

From the moment that we walked in and received a genuine warm and friendly welcome, I knew we had made a good choice. The restaurant is very clean and first impressions were great. The menu is extensive and a little overwhelming for a first timer but help was at hand and the owner gave us good advice. All of the staff were very attentive and friendly. My daughter commented: “That lady was really nice to me.” And she absolutely was. As a parent, it means a lot when people put your children at ease and make them smile!

The food came out promptly and did not disappoint. We ordered a variety of dishes to share so that we got to try different things. Everyone’s favourite was the sweet and sour fish, which was very tasty. The spring rolls were also a big hit. We had plenty to eat for just over £30 for two adults and one child. For drinks, we went traditional and had green tea which was kindly topped up during the meal. The highlight for my daughter though was when the owner bought over a complementary ice cream topped with a kit kat. That put a huge smile on her face and ours, bringing a great end to the evening.

We will definitely be heading back to Minmin.

Review of Gangsta Granny by Heartbreak Productions.

In 10 years time, my children won’t specifically remember the occasions that I picked them up from school, cooked our favourite pasta dish or watched their swimming lesson. But they will remember some of things that we did that were out of the ordinary. They will remember some of the memories that we made together. As we headed out of the door on Friday evening, I knew we were making memories. I was just hoping it wasn’t going to be because the whole family had got soaked to the skin sitting in a park on a Friday night watching a play. We had a flask full of hot chocolate, a box of malteasers and some large umbrellas borrowed from a neighbour. We were heading to a Heartbreak Productions outdoor show in Walsall Arboretum. It was pretty exciting heading out in the evening and walking through an empty park to get to the bandstand where the show was being staged. When I told Little Lady what we were going to see, she was extremely excited. In fact, we all were because ...

Ocean Odyssey in Times Square

Hitting New York as a family, we were full of excitement and anticipation. We were waiting outside a store for it to open at 9am! We took selfies and videos of the famous sites in Times Square. But soon after that legs were tired. Temperatures were rising and humidity was close to 50%. It was with a sigh of relief that we entered the cool of National Geographic Encounter. Little people will only walk so far and look at so many famous buildings. Ocean Odyssey is an immersive experience that uses the latest technology to take you under the ocean. Our expectations were high as we ‘took the dive’ to our first location- the shallows of the South Pacific. Fish swam under our feet and adults and children jumped around as the creatures interacted with us. Jellyfish responded as we moved our arms and got up close. We loved the fact that Ocean Odyssey isn’t a show that you sit back and watch but an experience that you can interact with. Those tired little legs suddenly weren’t tired anymore...

I didn’t plan a six year age gap between my girls. Once Little Lady‘s first birthday had passed, it was time to try again for a second baby. I knew it was going to take a while because it had been a long road the first time. As I had packed away each set of baby clothes all clean and labelled with ages, I had prayed that I would be able to use them again. When I actually discovered that I was pregnant again for the second time, it was coming up to Little Lady’s sixth birthday. I was in a state of delighted shock and struggled to believe it could be true. I paid for a scan around seven weeks because I just needed to see that there was actually an embryo inside, growing and safely beating away. Thank goodness for my morning sickness confirming that it was all true! We had left the baby stage behind long ago. Now we were able to leave the house with just a set of keys in our pocket. We had envisaged having children close together, them playing with the same toys and being b...
