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
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
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 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

Thankfully the lovely folks at Build-a-Bear had sent us a lovely hamper of… Read More
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
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
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
