fun ideas for birthday invitations

31st May 202031st May 2020

This is a collaborative post. Birthdays are generally pretty special occasions, aren’t they?   Especially if the person celebrating their birthday is a child or teenager, or  has reached a  ‘big zero’ birthday!   Planning a celebration or party is just one of the fun birthday activities on the run up to the big day, and sending… Read More

KumiCreator Bracelet & Necklace maker review

15th May 202015th July 2020
Kumi Kreator Jewellery maker

Disclosure: We were sent the featured product for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own. Who remembers making friendship bracelets at school? I do! But I don’t remember how to make the patterns and   designs in them, my memory can’t think 30 years back that clearly! But there’s now a really… Read More

Creating Personalised cards for the family

20th April 202015th July 2021

Like so many of us all over the world I have found myself thrown into the world of homeschooling, with absolutely no choice on the matter! The kids are probably  bored of me trying to teach them things like maths and english and I am desperately  searching for new ways to entertain them. They’re suffering… Read More

Convenient Diet ready-made meals from DietBon, my experience

18th April 202023rd April 2020

I had lots of good intentions to start getting fitter and shaping up when I got back from New York (where I enjoyed lots of great but not very healthy food!) and then Corona virus happened. I was planning on supplementing walking my two school runs a day with  either starting couch to 5k again… Read More

Toys: Bakugan Battle Arena Review

14th April 202016th April 2020

Arlo loves  anything that changes shape, so when a parcel of Bakugan toys arrived and he opened it up to find lots of BakuBalls inside along with  the Bakugan Armored Alliance Battle Arena he got pretty excited! What is Bakugan? Bakugan started life as an animated TV series about creatures called ‘Bakugan’ and their owners,… Read More

However as none of us are going anywhere much during these lockdown times puzzles have become more of a regular occurence in our   house these… Read More

Trolls World Tour, the sequel to the first Trolls movie has been released to watch now, skipping the cinema release so that we can all watch at home!

Osmo Genius & Little Genius Review – perfect for kids at home!

28th March 20204th April 2020
Playing with Osmo

Just when you thought you knew all about the ways to use tech to keep your kids entertained (including asking Alexa to make fart noises) you find something that blows everything else out of the water. It’s not only fun, but also educational enough to count as learning, which during these strange covid19 infused times is more important than… Read More

Toad Diaries Review & Giveaway

19th February 202018th February 2020

Everyone starts off the year being organised, right? Not me – I dabbled with making a bullet journal over the Christmas holidays and stopped using it by the 4th of January. Thankfully I hadn’t bought a specific notebook for it but was using a little school-style exercise book. Anyway – I’m generally so bad at… Read More

Style: Scaramanga Backpack

11th February 202011th February 2020

I’ve been a fan of backpacks since  my  youngest was born – it suddenly seemed so much easier to pop all the stuff I needed for two kids under 2 years old in a backpack than a proper changing bag that was always swinging off my shoulders and bashing into things, or making me walk… Read More

Ad|gifted🃏🦗🌈 We've been playing #Mantis a Ad|gifted🃏🦗🌈 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 🎉

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 🤪 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 💥

Jumping into the weekend 🤸🤸🏼‍♀️ Det Jumping into the weekend 🤸🤸🏼‍♀️
Determined to switch off this weekend, I've been flat out at work for the past two weeks & worked a lot of last weekend too. The problem (which is also a positive) with working freelance is that you can do it anytime but it doesn't necessarily mean you should 🤪 
We're spending time with friends, doing some gardening and hopefully some cross stitch on the new garden sofa I spent hours putting together yesterday!

🌊🐚 beach babies The one time I can (almost 🌊🐚 beach babies 

The one time I can (almost) guarantee no squabbling, no asking for snacks and potentially even to be left alone is at the beach. 
I didn't bring swimming stuff, a change of clothes or sandals but that didn't stop them going for a swim!

I saw someone say the other day on here that they I saw someone say the other day on here that they found Gardening the most dull thing ever. A year ago I would've agreed, but had never had my own garden as an adult. I'd either lived in a pub (a gardener came and did our windowboxes) or flats with no outside space. When we moved in here there was no grass and a massive shed in the middle of the garden-literally in the middle, 3 feet away from the back wall too 🤪 there was also no flower bed. Sam and I have worked hard since we moved in, making this long planter, and pulling up patio slabs to sow some grass seed. I've got seedlings growing and am planning a mini rockery too. So no, gardening is not dull to me now. I really enjoy it! I'll share more of the garden when the grass has grown and I've planted some more flowers!
