Here’s where you’ll find posts for what the kids did… playing, wearing, doing, and more!
Since starting school in September Athena has completely fallen in love with it; there hasn’t been a day yet that she’s not been happy to go, and she practically skips into the classroom as soon as the door opens. She has also pretty much fallen in love with her teacher, which I guess is better… Read More
Last weekend Athena & Arlo received a huge bundle of trolls goodies, which they were super pleased with! They are so into the original trolls movie that we probably watch it at least once a week or so! Now there’s a new way to enjoy the bright haired little creatures in ‘Trolls Holiday’, and I… Read More
Christmas is a lovely time of year for reading, it’s cold so snuggling on the sofa under the blanket is something we do a lot of! Our Christmas book collection is growing year on year, and it’s now big enough to fill up the kids little book shelf in the corner of the living room!… Read More
Athena wears her uniform (or PJ’s!) five full days a week. She’s like me and is a fan of comfort so as soon as she arrives home she heads off to take her ‘unicorn’ off and gets into PJs. This means that her time in her own clothes is restricted to the weekends and holidays,… Read More
Last week we had a delivery from Be My Bear, and online store who stock a large variety of different bears that can be made at home. The kids had looked on the website to find a bear that they wanted to have as their very own and a few days later a kit arrived containing… Read More
We’re already huge fans of Alain Grée’s books and I have a new favourite! His Illustrated Encyclopedia that has just launched is just perfect for kids with a huge thirst for knowledge that are always asking questions! It’s a hard backed book packed full of facts, figures and most importantly illustrations in his signature style,… Read More
Like most little kids the idea of a remote controlled car is a very exciting one! Arlo has never had a remote control car before, but we did recently get a Scalextric race track which introduced him to remote controlling, but with that the cars stay on the track and there is no aspect of… Read More
It’s not often that something arrives that we all enjoy playing with, but right from opening the box Sam seemed to love putting the Thomas Super Station together, working out which layouts he wanted to do first, clipping it all together and assembling Sodor before our very eyes! I then had to remind him that… Read More
I’m here with another installment of ‘What the Kids Read’ and this month we have been reading so much more than usual (which is a lot anyway) as Athena now has school books to read. However, said school books are dull as dishwater, so we need to spice things up on the literary front… Read More
It’s no secret that Arlo loves anything with cars, wheels, or tracks and when the new My First Scalextric arrived last week he was pretty chuffed! Designed for little racers from three years and up Arlo got the hang of it pretty quickly, though he is a little under the lower-age at 2.5. Athena at… Read More
