Here’s where you’ll find posts for what the kids did… playing, wearing, doing, and more!

What the Kids Read in October

19th October 201710th February 2020

     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

Toys: My First Scalextric Review

16th October 201710th February 2020
My First Scalextric review

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

Shimmer & Shine Magical Flying Carpet review

10th October 201710th February 2020
shimmer and shine magical flying carpet toy review

Shimmer and Shine is one of Athenas favourite programs, so she was pretty excited to see the  ‘Shimmer & Shine Magic Flying Carpet box waiting for her after school. She was so excited, and couldn’t wait to get the box open. Thankfully I’d remembered to get some batteries so once I’d popped them in it was… Read More

Raskog Craft Trolley Ikea Hack

4th October 201726th November 2020

My kids have tonnes of craft supplies. If they’re lucky I even let them use them! I’m kidding, but tidying up after craft sessions is one of my most hated tasks! Thankfully for the last three months or so the task has been a lot easier; the sessions themselves a lot less messy generally because… Read More

What Arlo played with: Geomag Magicubes

29th September 201710th February 2020
geomag magicubes toy review

I love to watch Arlo interact with new things, watching kids learn how the world around them works is a privileged and a pleasure. It’s even better when learning about things come as part of a game or toy, as in my experience the moment my kids realise you are trying to actually teach them… Read More

What the Kids Read: Books and Pieces (3 for £10!)

23rd September 201710th February 2020

Every few months or more I write a little post up about the books that my kids have enjoyed looking at, and books I have enjoyed reading to them as neither can read yet! We have lots of books, they’re all over the house and they’re the one thing I really don’t mind being left… Read More

Toys: Toilet Training is no Big Thing with Bing!

6th September 201710th February 2020
toilet train bing

Toilet training doesn’t rank high on many mums list of ‘fun things to do with toddlers’ let’s be honest. So anything that could potentially make the job easier is welcome. Step up ‘Toilet training Bing! Every mum will know who Bing is- the bunny that is bigger than his dad/carer/childminder – Flop! He gets a… Read More

My Four Year Olds favourite Netflix series

5th September 20175th September 2017
luna petunia doll

Athena is a bit of a telly addict, I think I only have myself to blame as I relied on the TV to be a bit of a babysitter when her little brother arrived and I had a not quite two year old to entertain during long feeds and naps! As a result she is… Read More

What the kids Did: Thomas & Friends Railway Pals

4th September 201710th February 2020
Thomas and Friends Railway Pals

Arlo loves trains, he also loves putting things together and taking them apart so when I presented him with the Thomas & Friends Railway Pals set he was pretty excited! It took me forever to build the track as he kept grabbing bits and hugging them, but once i’d persuaded him that it would be… Read More

Review: Interactive Baby Wow Emma Doll

17th July 201710th February 2020
baby wow emma doll

Both my kids seem to be quite loving and caring, and always love to have a doll or a cuddly toy to look after, though so far we’ve managed to steer clear from dolls who cry or pee (or worse). However, we’ve just had a new addition, Baby Wow Emma. Not only does she talk,… Read More

Black Deer Festival day one: exploring, hammering, buying hats & bandanas, good music, suncream, water, cider, friendly people, guitar lessons, slack lining, pebble painting, art, dressing up, tasty food, motorbikes, face painting and hanging out as a family together 💞

Awesome music from yesterday: Jake Bugg, The Cuban Brothers, James, Jinda Biant & Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly.

Gradually adding plants to every corner of the hou Gradually adding plants to every corner of the house. I never really buy flowers but I do love it when someone gives me a bunch, these tulips were a week old but going strong still 🌷🌼💐 of course it took me till a few days after they started dropping petals to actually get rid of them... But nobody is perfect, least of all me!

"boy with scabby knees and cat" This is the firs "boy with scabby knees and cat" 

This is the first time Claude has stayed sat on anyone's lap for months. He's really not a very snuggly cat and despite Arlo being the fastest\loudest\most disinterested member of the household in cats he was the chosen one 🙄

🎉NINE YEARS OLD💞 Athena turned 9 yesterday, 🎉NINE YEARS OLD💞
Athena turned 9 yesterday, which was a pretty good day to have a birthday. Preceded by a week off for half term, a four day celebratory weekend, a whole day celebrating with your best friend who turns 10 on the same day and then being at school for everyone to sing happy birthday! After school we went to the park where Athena finally got over her fear of climbing the really tall climbing frame thing (then did it loads just to make sure she still could) 🙌
Swipe for her 1st  birthday too, just because 😍
