It's Beginning To Feel A Lot Like Christmas...

It’s Beginning To Feel A Lot Like Christmas…

I do wish the weather would make its mind up. Its oddly mild today, yet a few days ago I was scraping ice off my windscreen. Thankfully we’ve managed lots of clear bright yet cold days recently, which is by far preferable to wet miserable days. Doing the school run at this time of year is amongst my least favourite activities, and that is largely down to the weather. Cold early mornings battling…

Countdown To Christmas

It’s 41 days until Christmas – how did that even happen? This year has just gone by so fast, and now the kids are back at school and we’ve had Halloween and Bonfire Night, its now just a blink until Christmas. I must confess that I have started my shopping already, with a couple of bits for the boys hidden away already. This Christmas is going to be a bit of an usual one for them though, as its…

#Review: Berocca fuelled half term fun

#Review: Berocca fuelled half term fun

Half term is nearly over, and it’s certainly been a busy one here. A fun filled five days of shopping trips, running around, tennis, football, park trips, walks, and the occasional time chilling out in front of the television. Life with two young boys is never calm or quiet, but its always fun filled. But as a newly single parent, I must admit to approaching this first half term with a degree of…

#Review: Super Geek Heroes

#Review: Super Geek Heroes

As a parent Super Heroes are a big part of my life. Power Rangers, Superman, Spiderman, Batman, you name it, my kids are probably a fan of it. Now there’s a new band of Super Heroes in town, and these ones are not only fun, but also educational.

“The SUPER GEEK HEROES are a unique group of super-kids… having fun in turn with a mission to learn! Their seven friendly ‘super-powers’ are derived from…

#Christmas at Drusillas

With just over a week to the big day, and school finally out for a couple of weeks, you are all no doubt thinking of ways to keep the children entertained and distracted before Christmas. Last weekend we took a trip to Drusillas to check out their Winter Wonderland and we had a wonderful time.

If you head down there in the run up to Christmas you’ll get the chance to meet Santa’s reindeer, meet…

Festive Bingo! The Christmas countdown has began! Crackers, check. Turkey, check. Sprouts….. maybe not this year. Christmas and New Year are full of traditions.

December 1st

I have been rubbish at blogging recently. I have no idea where the time has gone, or how it is already the start of December. But today I decided would be the ideal time to show off this awesome product that arrived many weeks ago.

I love this mug. Looks like a plain boring white mug yes? Nope. How about now?

Cool huh? Or what about this?

Yep. Same mug. Bit proud of the penguin I must confess.

Help Keep Families Close

Help Keep Families Close

What child doesn’t love McDonalds? I know my two are very enthusiastic when we say we’re going there. You can’t beat a Happy Meal if you’re 6 or 2. But what they don’t realise about McDonalds, and what some of you might not realise either, is the awesome charity work they do as well as feeding us.

McDonalds currently has 14 Ronald McDonald Houses in the UK – houses which provide free…

#Review: Tangle Teezer

Tangle Teezer’s have been around for ages. They are one of those things I’ve wanted to try out for a while, so when a bright and funky Lemon Sherbet teezer landed on my doormat a few weeks ago, I was very excited.

Cute isn’t it? I love the contrasting colours. The sharp lemon and the softer pink make this stand out from the rest, and perfectly epitomises its name. I love how compact it is. It…

#Review: Peppa Pig Alphaphonics Campervan

#Review: Peppa Pig Alphaphonics Campervan

When your child reaches two, there is a basic inevitability that Peppa Pig and her friends are going to take over your lives. There is clearly some magical hypnosis coming from the TV whenever it is on that just draws children in, and from then on anything Peppa Pig themed – and to be fair there’s a lot out there – becomes fascinating to them.

We watch Peppa Pig, obviously. Little Dude is 2 and a…

I Want A Lunchbox...

I Want A Lunchbox…

With a little over a week to go before the children head back to school there is stuff everywhere. In every single shop there is some kind of back to school section overflowing with uniform, stationary, bags, lunch bags, bottles, and every manner of thing you apparently need to survive another year at school.

Now with Little Man about to make the move up into Year 1 and Little Dude about to start…

#Review: House Of Fraser Kitchen Linen

#Review: House Of Fraser Kitchen Linen

Summer is here. Try not to laugh now. Okay I know if you look outside it might not look much like summer, though the with the crazy way the weather keeps changing at the moment maybe it does. Either way its times like this that I always feel inspired to do some home decorating, or freshen things up at bit. The team at House Of Fraser sent me some new linen for my kitchen to help with this.

They…

Educational Play with Schleich

Educational Play with Schleich

I’m a big fan of learning through play. Unforced educational play. I’m not a teacher and I don’t want to be. I want my children to naturally learn whilst they are having fun. When I was contacted recently by Schleich about receiving their new “Educational Play The Schleich Way” guide – which you can download yourself via the handy button to the right – and a selection of their animal figures to…

#Review: Shark Rocket HV320

#Review: Shark Rocket HV320

I hate housework. I’m sure I’m not alone in that statement either. I can generally find a million and one things I’d rather be doing than cleaning the house, and invariably can be found doing one of them instead.

Having two young boys in the house the floor is generally chaotic. Biscuit crumbs, bread crumbs, a few dozen dinosaurs, several books and cars are scattered far and wide, therefore…

#Review: Donna from Hotter

#Review: Donna from Hotter

There’s a reasonable chance that I’m becoming obsessed with Hotter shoes.

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited to a party at my local Hotter store. Not my first, and hopefully not my last, but an event I can never turn down. Hotter throw the best parties – the team are always incredibly lovely, they always bring prosecco, and then there’s shoes. What more could a girl want?

You’ll…

#Review: A Day Out At Drusillas

We are no strangers to Drusillas. We’ve been many times before, as featured on this blog in fact, but it’s been a couple of years since we went and decided it was high time Little Dude got his first visit under his belt. Needless to say we were thrilled at Drusillas impeccable timing at inviting us down to their East Sussex location to take a look around and see what was new.

The last time we…
