We got our first Twisty Petz bracelets back in May in our BlogOn goodie bags, and the girls were instant fans – I have to admit, I was too. These sweet and colourful collectible animals transform into jewellery with just a few twists.… Continue Reading “Review: Twisty Petz”

They are hosting Character Breakfasts throughout July, giving you the chance to eat breakfast in the company of Freddo, Caramel Bunny, Bertie Bassett and Mr Cadbury’s Parrot.… Continue Reading “Character Breakfasts with Freddo and friends at Cadbury World”
On Sunday afternoon we headed to Cannon Hill park here in Birmingham to see the Pinky Ponk show at In The Night Garden Live. The 2018 tour is now underway, and it is the last clnance to watch the beloved characters from the Night Garden in their infamous Showdome.… Continue Reading “Makka Pakka washes faces at In The Night Garden Live”
We were sent a selection of Little Live Bizzy Bubs toys to play with, and Lydia has fallen a little bit in love with these teeny babies that all do different things. We have a few of the Little Live Pets toys which have all been favourites of our girls, so it is nice to see the Little Live range extend to interactive dolls, too!… Continue Reading “Review: Little Live Bizzy Bubs”
The girls are really getting a bit old for the CBeebies sensation Hey Duggee these days but that doesn’t stop Lydia from watching it still! I drew these colouring sheets for the girls – and anyone else who wants them – to enjoy. I went for a pretty basic one of Duggee and the Squirrel Club, and also made a Football Badge one as a… Continue Reading “Hey Duggee Colouring Sheets – Free Printable”
May began with Georgie turning 7, and me in a state of slight shock that I’ve now been a parent for seven years. It’s amazing how fast time flows by, I still remember her as a tiny baby, as an inquisitive toddler, and a shy pre-schooler. Now, our Georgiana is a lovely little girl – well on her way to being a “big girl”. She… Continue Reading “Life Lately: May 2018”
Chewbacca is one of the most recognisable characters from the Star Wars universe, and with the new film *Solo: A Star Wars Story* coming out yesterday telling the story of how a Hans Solo and Chewbacca met, these adorable Posh Paws plush Chewies are pretty much irresistible to Star Wars fans – of any age – right now.… Continue Reading “Review: Posh Paws Chewbacca Collection”
One of my most popular posts is one I wrote almost exactly four years ago; What to pack for a Haven holiday. It’s a helpful post, and I actually go back to it every year to make my own packing lists for our self-catered static caravan holidays. So, I thought it would be even more helpful if I created a printable checklist instead so people can… Continue Reading “What to pack for a caravan holiday – free printable check list”
Sometimes it is nice to sit down after the girls have gone to bed, and play a game together – James and I don’t have a lot of two player games we can play during some ‘adult time’ but this is definitely a good one.… Continue Reading “Review: Abalone”
Now that Lydia is in reception she is making great strides with both her reading and writing – she loves to spot digraphs in words, and has started to try and read all the signs and different words she sees when we are out and about. Georgie used to delight in this too and has turned into a complete bookworm, so both girls love the chance to play with words and letters with games like this one.… Continue Reading “Review: My First Bananagrams”
I’ve always enjoyed the Star Wars films so pairing that with my not-so-secret love of jigsaws is ideal. I get to relax by putting together a puzzle featuring some of my favourite characters.… Continue Reading “Review: Ravensburger Star Wars Jigsaw”
We started April off with a busy Easter holiday, with some fun local day trips including a visit to the Sea Life Centre, Hatton Adventure Farm, and even a trip to the Kingfisher Shopping Centre to take part in the Spring themed Nature Trail which the girls enjoyed… and I finally found the Harry Potter cushion I wanted in the Redditch Primark too, yay! The… Continue Reading “Life Lately: April 2018”
Both my girls love to build and create things, so this Brio Deluxe Builder Set full of wooden and plastic building components and child sized tools was perfect for them to get creative with.… Continue Reading “Review: Brio Builder Deluxe Set”
