Have you heard of Yelloh! Village before? If you have been reading the blog for a while you might remember that we went on holiday to Yelloh!

It’s that time of year when families all over the country will be packing their suitcases in the trunks of their cars and loading up the kids in search of summer fun either here in the UK or touring around Europe. No matter where you are heading, there’s something about knowing you are ready for…
Hello readers! Thanks so much for stopping by today. I recently had the opportunity to introduce the girls to the Sylvanian Families collection, and I was really excited to see what they thought. Sylvanian Families is a toy that’s been around since 1985, so it’s a brand I remember from my own childhood. Sadly, I…
I am literally the worst parent for adding name labels to my kids school uniform. I think the teachers probably despair of me and I’ve lost count of how many cardigans and pieces of PE kit we’ve lost over the years. I begin the school year with good intentions, and the first day of term…

I think that families rock, and that they have so many amazing talents that they are hiding in their homes that these need to be shared with the outside world. Come on Mum’s and Dad’s lets not keep all that entertainment to ourselves, it’s time to shout about it and nPower, with the help of…
I often get asked for ideas for how to keep kids busy while travelling and to be honest there is no one simple answer. It’s more of a strategic approach that requires careful planning and some well chosen toys and games. A multi pronged attack is required generally in the business of keeping kids entertained, but…
The teenager and I have recently been introduced to a fantastic designer website called Get The Label. This couldn’t have come at a better time with back to school being just around the corner.
