Today I’m bringing you a shop full of papery beauties! Probably best if you look away now, actually, fellow stationery-geeks, as I’m pretty certain that once you see what there is, you’ll be over there ordering! Fortunately for you, as I know you’ll still be peeking, I do have an exclusive one week only discount …
We’ve been putting a Drumond Park game to the test here, Bubble Buster Kazoo, perfect for garden play in all of this lovely weather we’ve been having.. This perfect ‘run-around’ game will have little ones jumping for joy amid squeals of excitement and laughter! Gameplay is simple: Each child pops as many bubbles as they …
We were excited to be off to Conkers, outdoor pursuits centre, in the National Forest last weekend. We’d heard of it and often seen signs and leaflets for it, but this was to be our first foray and we were keen to find out what it was all about. On entering, we were given a …
When I was offered the chance to review CRU Kafe coffee pods, I literally jumped at the chance. The Husband loves coffee, loves it! His parents bought him a lovely Krups coffee machine for his birthday a few years back, and it’s possibly the best, certainly most used, gift he’s ever had! He needs that morning …
Today I’m sharing our day out at Twycross Zoo… I’ve always loved zoos. They were my favourite choice of birthday outing all throughout my twenties, let alone when I was a kid. My love of Twycross Zoo began when I was at primary school, as our headmaster had affiliations with them and so we often …
We’ve recently been introduced to toogiez, the playable, wearable, stickable sidekicks…. toogiez are a match made in heaven – adorable, collectible plushies that stick to comfy, stylish, specially designed t-shirts. Attached securely and displayed proudly, toogiez are a child’s best friend, wearable sidekick and constant companion. It’s a cute concept. A toogy is a little …
Boo enjoys getting crafty and creative, so when we were offered the chance to try out Aquabeads, I knew she’d love to. We’d not heard of Aquabeads before. The idea is that you make various bead designs and creations, using the enclosed templates or your own ideas, then spray them with water and they all …
We’ve been carrying out some taste-testing here, sampling the new Robinsons Fruit Shoot easy squeezy smooth jams… They’re made with 30% less sugar than standard jams, and there are no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners. They come in easy to use squeezy bottles. There are three different flavours, which Boo likes choosing from at lunchtimes now! …
Now, I’m not one for going to the gym, though I enjoyed it for a while back in my pre-kids days. And of an evening, after they’ve gone to bed, well, that’s when you’ll find me here blogging and all that that entails, or flopping on the sofa watching TV. But that’s not to say …
We recently received a gorgeous new picture book from Bloomsbury Publishing… Dragon Loves Penguin by Debi Gliori It’s bedtime in the land of ice and snow. “Night, night,” says Bib’s mummy. “Sleep tight,” says Bib’s daddy. But Bib has a better plan. “Please,” says Bib, “can I have a story? The one about dragons.” And …
You all know that I love my stationery here, and so it’s only natural that I am hoping to pass on my scribbling ways to my children. I like to keep an eye out for children’s stationery as much as I do for me, and that’s when I spotted Magical World Journals. There are 4 journals …
The children have been having an absolute blast with Pumpaloons from Drumond Park… Pumpaloons The stomping, romping, pushing, pumping, sitting, squashing game for kids! It is a race to blow up Stripeyloon and Spottyloon and the first player to make their Pumpaloon stand all the way up is the winner. Push with your hands, stomp …
We were recently fortunate enough to receive a beautiful sandpit from Big Game Hunters. The kids have always enjoyed playing in the sandpit at my mum’s house, yet we’ve never got round to getting one for our garden, until now. I decided to make their first introduction to it a little bit different, and set …
We were recently given the opportunity to have a four-night break at Bluestone National Park Resort, in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It looked absolutely brilliant from the website, so we were definitely interested in going along and discovering it for ourselves. As soon as we’d got our booking confirmed, we received periodic emails in the run up to …

I’ve seen Gone Crabbing clothes and kitchenware before and have always had a little soft spot for that crab, as the image makes me smile. He always looks so happy! So when I heard that they’ve now brought out a pop-up picture book about him, I was unable to resist…! Colin the Crab Pop-Up …
We were recently sent a new eco toy to explore, from The Toadstool, in our role as #ToadTesters. I’d not seen Plus Plus before, the award-winning toys from Denmark. The Toadstool stocks lots of different types, from small packets to bigger packs and in a variety of colours, too. We received the Plus Plus Mini …
