We’ve been #Toadtesting again! Yes, The Toadstool have sent us one of their exciting new products to test out, from their ‘Green’ range, so we eagerly set about putting it through it’s paces. Introducing, Green Crafts Make Your Own Recycled Beads.. Boo was excited just by the box! I mean, it looks pretty, ‘gadgety’ and …
We’ve been treated to another lovely read from Bloomsbury Publishing… Marmaduke the Very Different Dragon by Rachel Valentine & Ed Eaves Marmaduke’s not like all the other dragons – his ears are too big and he never even triesto fly. He just doesn’t fit in, however much he wants to, and so he feels terribly lonely. …
It’s always a good post day when we receive a book! The children are always excited, and I’d have to say I was just as excited about this one, as I am a big penguin fan, so I just knew that I’d love it… Penguin in Love by Salina Yoon When Penguin finds a single …
Now, don’t say I don’t make sacrifices for this blog, and for my readers. I so do, as I have had to review this absolutely gorgeous, scrumptious Serenata Hamper, and eat everything in it, to ensure a full, fair and balanced review! How fabulous does it look? In this Sweet Dreams hamper, we have: Farmhouse …
I don’t write much about the Husband. He pops up in photos sometimes, and gets mentions, but he’s never the centre of attention here. This suits him. He’d rather not be. But, for this post, I’m making it all about him, because he deserves it. He’s THE best husband and father in the world. I’m …
We were very excited when The Weekend Box Club got in touch and asked us if we’d like to review one of their boxes. I’ve been toying with trying something like this for Boo for a while, and when I saw the ethos and details about this, I was keen to give it a whirl. …

The website tells us: Janod magnetic puzzle – girls outfits theme. This neat and handy box comes with puzzle pieces which can …

I wasn’t blogging back when Little Man arrived in the world. If I had been, I’m quite certain that a post I would have written would have been about ‘sticky eyes’. He was afflicted with them within 24 hours of being born, poor thing. A little in both eyes, but mainly his left. I was …
I’ve bought a few crafty items for the children. They’re keeping us occupied and very happy, and I wanted to tell you all about this one in particular, as we just love it! I ordered the Djeco Light Clay Critters from Cr8tive Kids, having bought Djeco before and been impressed with the quality, and these …
Our weekend post was fabulous. As well as several Christmas cards, we had books. Boo was beside herself! This is our review of the first one.. The Story Machine by Tom McLaughlin Elliott is a boy who likes to find things and, one day, he stumbles across a machine. At first, he can’t work out …
When we were offered the chance to review the latest Thomas the Tank Engine DVD, I literally jumped at the chance. Boo is a huge Thomas fan, and loves the recent King of the Railway film – it’s very well-watched here! It arrived, and it was immediately viewed… Thomas and Friends: Merry Christmas, Thomas It’s …

We’re big fans of The Toadstool here, as regular readers will no doubt know from our previous reviews of some of their toys. So when we were asked to take a look at and have a good old play with Plan Toys Tumbling Tower Game, we clearly could not resist! Over on The Toadstool website, …
In our house, books about dinosaurs always go down well. We love Tyrannosaurus Drip, Dinosaur Roar, and those Dinosaur that Pooped.. books. So when ‘Yikes, Stinkysaurus’ arrived, I suspected it might go down well – I was right! Yikes, Stinkysaurus by Pamela Butchart, illustrated by Sam Lloyd Stinkysaurus is the smelliest dinosaur in the whole …
I’ve written recently about how nice it is to see Boo and Little Man starting to play together, now that he’s turned one. They interact (he shouts at her and pulls at her until she gives him what she wants!) and they love to play – what child doesn’t? So I’ve been on the lookout …
Regular readers will know that Boo likes getting crafty. And she’s definitely partial to a princess story (we own most of the Disney Princess books, DVDs, dolls, music- you name it!), so this Djeco Princess Create a Story Stamp & Stencil Set from Butterflies and Dragons looked right up her street, and we couldn’t wait …

I only signed up to Instagram a few months ago, but since day one, I was hooked! It’s a great way to share those ‘in the moment’ photos, and keep them recorded. I’ve managed to capture a few good shots of the children as they’ve been up to various activities, so when I was contacted …
