This week we received a wonderful giant bubble wand from Gazillion bubbles to test out. It was perfect timing because as you can see from the state of my house behind Imogen we had family over this weekend. It was Elizabeth and Leon’s birthdays and everyone came over with gifts and to watch them blow their candles out. It… Read more →
Last weekend, Oona and I were invited along to The Boo Theatre to their ‘Babies in Space’ to join in the adventure of baby Luna who has been lost by its Mama and needs to find its way home. We had an absolutely wonderful time. As you know, I have four children and they all take up lots of my… Read more →
My kids haven’t done a jigsaw for YEARS. They play on their tablets and the PC, their laptops, the xbox. They craft, they love crochet, knitting, reading, drawing etc but we’d forgotten about jigsaws. They are kinda basic aren’t they? They don’t make a noise, they aren’t exciting. wrong! When I was offered the review for a 300 piece puzzle… Read more →

Today though, since it’s Legoland Christmas I thought I would give a proper description of our visit. The picture below shows us on our way to Legoland from the car park. As usual the big… Read more →
I love Yellow Moon because the kids can just get on with the craft on their own whilst I catch up on cleaning or blogging or put my feet up with a cuppa… and we were sent some lovely Yellow Moon star wands through the post to make.

Imogen had worked it out because a) we went last year at a similar time and b) I packed gloves. Elizabeth had discounted it as a possibility because I… Read more →

This week we were lucky and received an Orchard Toys game to review: Shopping List. This is one of the games the children already have and really enjoy playing so when I discovered that this is a new improved version and told the kids they were interested to see what changes had been made. The first thing is that there… Read more →

This week we were sent the Rumbly Tummy Cicciobello dolly to review. It is actually for ages 3+ and Oona is only 30 months but she’s always been quite advanced in her play, I think because the older children stretch her capabilities. She’s always wanted to be a big girl. Seeing the doll in the packet in the shop it… Read more →
