Last Saturday we headed to Arena Birmingham to see Paw Patrol Live: The Great Pirate Adventure.

This post is so late! July has been manic with work, that’s my excuse I’m afraid… boring but true. We started June while we were still in Felixstowe, and spent our last day going on the foot ferry across the river, to enjoy some geocaching around Bawdsey and soak up the sunshine. On the way home from our holiday we popped over to see my… Continue Reading “Life Lately: June 2018”
An absolute genius has come up with a new fun set of characters which combines two of the most popular emojis, poo 💩and unicorn 🦄, into the ‘Poo-nicorns’ which are just wonderfully ridiculous.

We discovered Mardles Augmented Reality stickers earlier this year, and had some fun painting rocks, adding Mardles AR stickers, and hiding them in our local park for people to find. The girls really enjoyed that so when we were offered the chance to try out their interactive colouring book as well as a set of stickers I jumped at the chance – especially since it was for their Aquatic Adventures book and Under The Sea stickers, as Georgie is a huge fan of sea creatures.… Continue Reading “Review: Mardles DiscovAR Colouring Book and AR Sticker Pack”

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”
