If you are thinking of buying a tablet for your children I don’t think you can go far wrong with the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition. We are a very tech family, so I can say that with a great deal of confidence. My daughter’s were recently sent the Amazon Fire HD 8, and…
Have you seen the Shnooks toys advert on TV yet? My guess is that if you have young children it might have caught your eye. I’m a sucker for things like this, so when I first saw the Zuru Shnooks even I thought they looked pretty cute. Shnooks toys are fluffy collectible characters that, when taken out…
I personally love Wagamama, and I really want my kids to love it too. The food is always fresh, healthy and super tasty and I think it’s a great place for kids to experience Japanese food. Wagamama is a great restaurant for kids with its bench-style eating experience and child-friendly chopsticks, but what did my…
When my daughter started school last year there were a few tips I had forgotten about buying school stationary and equipment. Bearing in mind my oldest son was starting university in the same year, it had been some time since I’d started a child on their school journey and Smiggle wasn’t around back in those…
Our arrival in Bath was a little bit stressful to say the least. I was not at all prepared for the restrictive one way system and lack of parking in the city following our drive from Dartmoor. Once we’d checked in at our hotel we booked an Uber and headed straight to Jamie’s Italian. There…
When it comes to great kids sandals I really think Teva have really got things sewn up. We shared with you last year just how much the kids and I loved this brand, but this year we are even more impressed with the style, comfort and durability Teva sandals have to offer. Firstly, Teva make…
The kids will be back to school in a few weeks, and we’ve been topping up with some essential items before we start back in September. Debenhams is a great department store offering a great range and quality in it’s back to school range. One investment I needed to make this year was to buy…
You might wonder why I talk about our favourite toys on the blog, but when I get an email asking if we’d like to review Peppa’s Family Home playset, I simply can’t say no. If I know the girls are going to love it, before they’ve even seen it I will always say yes. I…
I’ll be bringing you a few posts talking about the brands we are loving for those important back to school purchases this year. School shoes are probably at the top of everyones list for being an important investment for the new school year. Today I’m talking about the Princess Elza shoes from start-rite that my…
Families that travel regularly can often end up being away from home for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. Whether I am at home celebrating or I am in holiday accommodation, I still want to add some personal touches to our celebrations. Making a fuss and ensuring that my loved ones feel special on their…
It’s no secret that this summer has been a complete washout and our My Little Pony Muck Boots have literally been a god send. As soon as the school holidays started so did the rain. It just puts a dampener on things doesn’t it? For a family, things just become more hard work. Going on…
Did you know that Sunday 6th August is National Sister Day? It’s a special day when sister’s all over the world can celebrate the special bond they share with each other.

When thinking about where to take the kids to eat, I am a huge fan of buffet style restaurants with good quality food and a wide selection of dishes. We were recently invited to Cosmo Restaurant in Nottingham to try out their 5 star approach to the all you can eat buffet, and it definitely…
Ever since I was a kid one of the most exciting parts about getting ready to go on holiday was being able to choose some new clothes to wear. If you are planning on going abroad soon, now is definitely the time to start thinking about the holiday wardrobe, especially for the kids. We’ve been…
Shimmer and Shine is the latest cartoon to have captured my daughters imagination. It’s a rather charming animated series that followers the story of twin sisters, Shimmer and Shine, who happen to be of the genie persuasion. Throw sparkle and magic together and you have the perfect combination for it’s young audience. The girls were lucky…
Birthdays aren’t complete unless you are having fun with family and friends. It also helps if they feature pizza and prosecco. I think the two go very well together and one of the best places to enjoy all of the above is in the relaxed atmosphere of a Pizza Express restaurant with the exciting new Spring…
