Osmo Pizza Co Review – hands on educational games

3rd September 202122nd October 2021

With the kids going back to school imminently we’ve been starting to build up their learning in fun ways to help them get prepared for what will hopefully be a full year of learning at school, unlike the last two due to lockdowns.  Osmo is one my ‘go to’ activity for learning and fun… and… Read More

Tips for keeping your home cool in Summer

18th August 202118th August 2021

Keeping cool in hot weather is something that here in the UK we don’t have to worry about all year round, but to me it seems like every year when summer arrives I’m amazed at how hot it is and have to remind myself of all the things we can do to stay cool. This… Read More

Tips to avoid school uniform stress!

13th August 202116th August 2021
regatta back to school essentials

Athena is starting year four in September, and Arlo is going into year two. The fact that I have children that are SO OLD still alarms me, it barely seems like a few months ago that they were pulling on their first ever school uniform and heading off into the classroom, but after three schools… Read More

Scrapbook Loves June & July ’21

3rd August 20214th August 2021

Our Summer holidays so far have been a little damp but just over a week down and I think we’re all having fun still – even if I’ve been eaten out of house and home and bedtimes are closer to 9pm that the normal 7pm! But it’s nice to have less of a routine than… Read More

Why a KeySafe will make your life easier [Giveaway]

22nd July 202126th July 2021

ย A Keysafe is something that you never really you need until you get one. Especially when your husband is as forgetful as mine is, often forgetting his keys or losing them all together. This once resulted in him breaking the glass in our front door (at the time it was an old style one that… Read More

Gift Idea: News of the Decade Book

22nd June 202122nd June 2021

Sam loves history, we both do actually, but I often try and find him gifts that are not only a little bit different or unusual but that are also useful past the initial ‘oh that’s a nice present’ stage! This year for Father’s Day he was the recipient of a Historic Newspapers hardback News of… Read More

What The Kids Read: December 2020

16th December 202017th December 2020

Here’s a little round up of the books Athena and Arlo have been enjoying recently, although I have definitely been enjoying them too! This is a GREAT book for broaching awkward questions that your kids ask, often out of the blue. You can say, ‘hang on lets look in the Brilliant Questions book’! This gives… Read More

Review: New Dragon Ball Toys

22nd November 202022nd November 2020

Arlo has been putting both his ninja moves and some new toys to the test this week when we had a delivery of toys from the new Dragon Ball range, which Bandai has released in the UK for the first time. For the uninitiated Dragon Ball is a hugely popular Anime/Manga series featuring Son Goku… Read More

Beautiful blue skies from earlier in the week. Aru Beautiful blue skies from earlier in the week. Arundel castle is somewhere I've lived close to for my whole life, yet had only ever visited as a very small child. This week I visited the gardens with a friend and absolutely loved it, and will definitely be back to visit the castle itself. The glimpse I saw when we had tea a d scones in the restaurant was gorgeous!

 I'm trying to make a reel by instasham keeps glitching and I can't add music, so maybe you'll see it and maybe you won't ๐Ÿ™„

After another really busy week I'm switching off for the weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday tomorrow and out for a stroll on Sunday ๐Ÿ™Œ

Ad|gifted๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฆ—๐ŸŒˆ We've been playing #Mantis a Ad|gifted๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฆ—๐ŸŒˆ We've been playing #Mantis a lot recently, it's a new game but has quickly become a firm favourite, with us and the friends we've played it with.

Each game lasts around 10 minutes so it's great to play whilst dinners cooking, but you might want to carry on during dinner as it's a little addictive and you'll end up playing a few rounds ๐ŸŽ‰

The aim of the game is to score ten points first by collecting sets of coloured cards. Easy right!? No, because other players can sabotage you and steal your cards for themselves (but, you might have the chance to steal them back!) 

It's really easy to pick up and Arlo managed to beat us all on his first time playing ๐Ÿคช another plus is that's it's very portable and you don't need too much space to play, so perfect to take to friends houses, restaurants and on holiday!

It's from the team who bought us #ExplodingKittens and you can purchase this and other games from explodingkittens.com ๐Ÿ’ฅ
