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 nap as one could sleep…
Finding sandals that look good,ย go with everything and are comfortable enough to wear all day is like looking for a needle in a haystack – but I think I’veย foundย that shoe-shaped needle!ย Theseย are the ‘Elle Backstrap’ Keen sandals – and not only do they match my requirements but theyย are consciously createdย as the straps are made…
Last week we spent the day out at Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure in Norfolk as we were staying with family close by. It was definitely a really fun day out, despite it being the first time we had really been anywhere with lots of people in the same placeย since before Lockdown.ย I admit I was initially worried but was reassured…
It’s been a while hasn’t it?ย But I’m backย with myย (normally) monthly ‘favourite things‘ post after a lockdown hiatus. My last post was at the end of March, when everything got a bit strange. So, here is a BUMPER edition ofย what I’ve loved, read, made, worn etc… only it isn’t that bumper because there are some parts of…
It’s been a long time since I wrote a weekly ‘what we’ve been up to’ but this week has actually felt like the most ‘normal’ย inย months. In fact the past four weeks have felt pretty normal – apart fromย having to wear masks in shops and not hug people when we see them! Last weekend we went camping with…
Although schoolย seems like a distant memoryย for Athena it’s only a matter of weeksย until she’s backย at school,ย a new junior school in fact!ย So that means new uniform, bag and shoes! This year she’ll be wearing Treads ‘Alberta’ shoes, whichย are a leather mary-jane style with a velcro strap, which is her preferred style. Treadsย only make and sell…
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 thatย we added a kitten to our family a few weeks ago.ย Although we’ve both had cats before itย hasn’t been for a long time soย we made a…
This is a collaborative post. Right now, the world has been locked down for weeks on end and for some, theyโve discovered that they love to work from home. Itโs this lockdown period that has shown people how viable working from home really is, and it has inspired many to go ahead and set up on their own. For some…
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 andย ย designs in them, my memory can’t think 30 years back that clearly! But there’s now a really easy way toย make both…
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 from not seeing their friends…
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 withย either starting couch to 5k again or going to the gym…
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, who do brawls with them. …
