Here are the reviews we’ve done. I’m always honest with what we thought about the products or experiences and am always happy to answer questions too, feel free to give me a shout on social media!
Athena has been getting weekly post recently in the form of The Phoenix, which has been dropping onto the doormat addressed just to her! She’s has been really enjoying flicking through the pages of each copy and reading the comics inside. The Phoenix is a full colour comic designed especially for kids and after a… Read More
One of the things I feel is really important for our children to understand more about is other people and parts of the world. Our world is so diverse and finding out more about it is something I’ve always loved doing, though when I was a child this was learning via encyclopedias and tv documentaries… Read More
This is a paid post in collaboration with Swizzels. Halloween may not be the same this year in terms of staying socially distant, which will mean no Halloween parties and probably only going trick or treating to houses of friends and possibly at set times you don’t overlap with others! We’re thinking about inviting a… Read More
My children love to watch ‘unboxing’ videos, so a toy that unboxes itself was definitely something I thought they’d really love. Present Pets unbox themselves from inside the box, with noises and movement and little paw print shaped holes gradually appearing in the box until it opens up to reveal the mystery pet! There are… Read More
What’s the solution when you’ve got a baby in the buggy and a toddler who demands to walk and then at some unspecified time later just cannot walk one step further and digs her heels in to the pavement refusing to move an inch? A Lascal Maxi buggy board! We’ve been using the Lascal Maxi… Read More
Coding sounds scary, when I first heard that it would be included in the curriculum for kids I had visions of kids sat working out tricky lines of computer code. It’s actually very different to that and now I get to see it first hand with the Osmo Coding Kit. If you’re not sure what… Read More
We are already firm fans of the Lascal Buggy Board and used it on our single buggy instead of bothering with an unwieldy double buggy. I found that even though Athena wasn’t quite two when Arlo arrived with the buggy board, sling and pushchair I could manage every situation, even if they both wanted a… Read More
Finding sandals that look good, go with everything and are comfortable enough to wear all day is like looking for a needle in a haystack – but I think I’ve found that shoe-shaped needle! These are the ‘Elle Backstrap’ Keen sandals – and not only do they match my requirements but they are consciously created … Read More
Although school seems like a distant memory for Athena it’s only a matter of weeks until she’s back at school, a new junior school in fact! So that means new uniform, bag and shoes! This year she’ll be wearing Treads ‘Alberta’ shoes, which are a leather mary-jane style with a velcro strap, which is her preferred style.… Read More
We were sent this item to review for the purpose of this blog post, all words and opinions are my own. If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed that we added a kitten to our family a few weeks ago. Although we’ve both had cats before it hasn’t been for a long… Read More
