Every now and again I hand over my blog and social media channels to my daughters who love to share with you what toys they’ve been enjoying recently. One collectable toy they really love is Num Noms. You must of heard of them if you have young girls. They are these cute little foodie collectable…
Have you seen the new series on Netflix yet? If you haven’t watched ’13 Reasons Why’ already, I would strongly recommend adding it to your list of must watch TV. It will draw you in as you follow the lives of students at Liberty High in the days before and after Hannah Baker takes her…
Las Iguanas invited us to their restaurant in Nottingham this week to check out the new menus, including what’s on offer for kids. Las Iguanas is a South American restaurant & bar that I used to visit before having the girls. I hadn’t really thought about it being a family friendly restaurant to take kids to…
We have had such a lovely year being one of the #PLAYMOBILPlayologist’s and it ended on a real high in this house. My daughter received the Playmobil Country Pony Farm Set just in time for her 5th birthday and it made for a perfect present for her. She loved the advent calendar she received at Christmas and the hospital…
I’m sure if you have school aged children you will have heard that it was British Science Week between 10th and 19th March. There were plenty of activities going off at my daughters school but we wanted some cool ways to bring it to life at home as well. Wherever there is science, you can…
I must admit I like jewellery, but I’m also quite fussy about what I wear. Finding where to buy jewellery for a Mother’s Gift can be a daunting process, but it’s so worth it as when you get it right, your Mum will really appreciate the effort you made. I like stylish eye catching jewellery with…
A few weeks ago, the girls and I were invited to the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham to find out what the Beanbag Music Club was all about. It’s been on my list of local activities to try for a while now so this was just the push I needed to take the girls along. The…
For years when my son lived at home I was asking myself what to feed a fussy eater. For the first few years of his life he was a vegetarian, but I soon realised I was struggling with what vegetarian meals to give him. He was also a little bit partial to the occasional chicken…
When our Puppy Surprise toy arrived I knew the girls would be so excited about welcoming Taffy and her new family into their toy collection. Taffy arrived in a pet carrier type box which was a lovely touch. One of her puppies was already on display but the big question was how many more did…
I first came across Arty Apple on Twitter and as soon as I had a peek around Amy’s online shop I knew I had to work with her. She hand makes personalised items for little one’s and their bedrooms or nurseries from taggie blankets to wall art and everything in between. Browsing the Arty Apple…
We enjoy eating out as a family, and it always features on our list of things to do when we are on holiday. During our weekend away visiting Warwick this was no exception and when we found out there was a Pizza Express just down the road from our hotel, it seemed like the perfect choice…
I must admit, I do like to have carpets in the house. Even better than carpets, I like to have clean carpets, but when you have a young family this can be quite a challenge. Children spill things, it’s just a part of life. Cups of orange juice get knocked over, jam on toast gets…
We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, the incredibly popular children’s story is coming to our TV screens this Christmas and I’m really excited about watching it with my children. My daughters adore this wintry adventure by Michael Rosen, and my 4 year old knows the story word for word. I think it’s a very popular…
Can you believe that it’s been 3 years since Frozen hit our cinema screens? I know I can’t, as my daughters keep one of the best Disney story’s of all time alive each and every day with their dressing up and constant renditions of Let It Go. It’s not in the least bit tiresome, honest!…
When I was growing up I remember having a Scalextric set. I think it was to keep my Dad happy as much as me, but it definitely worked on both counts. We loved racing the cars round the track back in the day, so when I was offered a My First Scalextric for the girls…
A few weeks ago, someone backed into our car. It was the most ridiculous accident. I was driving into a car parking space and the car parked next to it just started to reverse. I watched in complete amazement, waiting for the sound of the crunch as there was literally nothing I could do about…
