We went to LEGOLAND Discovery Centre last week to attend the launch of their LEGO Movie Days event, in celebration of the LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part.… Continue Reading “LEGO Movie Days at LDC Birmingham”
Life Lately: January 2019
Our January started off pretty quietly; James headed back to work while the girls and I had quite a relaxed end to the school holiday – baking (using a weird recipe in their Christmas book that came out tiny), building lots of LEGO, and generally chilling out and having fun.… Continue Reading “Life Lately: January 2019”

Review: DK Fingerlings books + giveaway!
The girls are both big fans of Fingerlings and have one of the playsets, several monkeys and their beloved Panda, as well as having some of the collectible Minis – suffice it to say, they are definitely fans of the whole brand. … Continue Reading “Review: DK Fingerlings books + giveaway!”
A day out at Legoland Discovery Centre, Birmingham
The girls have been really eager to go to the new LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in Birmingham, so when we told them we were going to be annual pass holders they were delighted. They really adore going to Sea Life Centre, as regular readers of my blog will know, so being able to go to LDC just across the canal is super exciting for them – we’ll be able to do both in one day quite often, especially with LDC having a nice little cafe inside with a decently priced kids meal deal.… Continue Reading “A day out at Legoland Discovery Centre, Birmingham”
Review: LEGO Movie 2 LEGO Sets
When we were offered LEGO Movie 2 themed LEGO sets to review the girls just about exploded with excitement! We are a pretty LEGO obsessed family and I don’t think more than a day or two go by without some building happening in our house.… Continue Reading “Review: LEGO Movie 2 LEGO Sets”
Valentine’s gift ideas – for geeks
Disclosure: these items were sent to me free of charge for the purpose of this post. Some links may be affiliate links to give me a few pennies if you purchase. It’s that time of year where the shops are filled with hearts, flowers and teddies, and other sentimental mushiness. I’m not saying I’m completely opposed to the odd lovey dovey thing, but when it… Continue Reading “Valentine’s gift ideas – for geeks”
Looking back on 2018
Hello! I’m back after our Christmas break – back at work and back to blogging. I’d like to say I’m feeling refreshed and recharged but to be completely honest I’m exhausted. I’m not sleeping well, I’m feeling hormonal half the time and my bad knee has been playing up. Despite that I am determined to Get On With Things this year. I am sorting the… Continue Reading “Looking back on 2018”
Life Lately: December 2018
December was a really busy month for us, and we had a lot going on with the usual end of term Christmas school events, weekend outings , our 10th wedding anniversary, and of course Christmas and everything that involved. We spent Christmas Day at home and had a very nice Christmas dinner – even if I do say so myself – and then had James’s… Continue Reading “Life Lately: December 2018”

Free Christmas printables – puzzles
These are the last of the Christmas themed kids printables I’ve been making this month! I’ve been enjoying creating these in my down time but with everything going on with the girls sick bugs and Lydia’s surgery I didn’t have a chance to finish these until this week. Today I have a couple of little mazes, a word scramble, and a spot the difference puzzle.… Continue Reading “Free Christmas printables – puzzles”
Free Christmas printables – Memory Game
Today’s freebie is this fun memory game – I created this back at the beginning of the month and the girls have been ‘testing’ it for me since. This one is pretty good for the Christmas holiday as it isn’t once and done – they can play it a few times over the school break. It has 15 different festive images, on 30 ‘cards’ you… Continue Reading “Free Christmas printables – Memory Game”
