Almost a year to the day since we went to Bluestone Wales and Kingdom of the Elves in 2016 we were invited back to see what Elftopia had on offer this year! This time, we were prepared (or as much as you can be) for the long journey to get to Bluestone Wales and knew what to expect when we […]

In a complete departure to the normal blogs about kids and all things mummy related, this week I have decided to introduce you all to the furriest and usually smelliest family member. This is a collaborative post. No – not my husband (hur de hur) – but our dog. To retain his anonymity let’s call him Jerk (his name is

The fourth birthday party passed without notable incident. After spending the whole of the previous day in Ikea, getting home very late with two remarkably not-asleep children and spending the remainder of our limited evening putting up flat pack furniture, it was a miracle really. Having neglected to purchase one before hand, luckily we managed to source a last minute

If you are a child of the late 80s then the original Tickle Me Elmo craze will probably be something you recall from your own childhood. Embarrassingly, being born in the earlier part of the decade I could have sworn that it was earlier than 1996, because I wanted one. Late bloomer maybe. Anyway, now here we are 20 odd

This will either be of interest to you…or not at all. Sorry to those that don’t give a monkeys, but this is big news to us. Finally our room is ‘done’ enough to move into! It’s not done, done… The fitted wardrobes are being built in the last week of November; the carpet and vinyl flooring for the en suite

Looking for a Ready Brek Pancake recipe? It has improved and moved to here. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which is why it’s a shame that mums rarely get to eat it. In this house, the mornings can be a fraught affair; particularly if it’s a preschool day or any other day where we need to get

Paddington 2 is out in cinemas this weekend (10th November), and we were lucky to be invited along to a special preview screening in London. Here, without further ado, is our Paddington 2 review! Along with my two and three year olds, we arrived into London and found the Soho Hotel where the event was being held. There were face

A Scalextric is basically a rite of passage for children. If you didn’t have one as a kid, you wanted one, or knew someone that had one. I thought we had a while to go until it would be a feature in our lives, but Hornby’s My First Scalextric is bringing the thrill of the race to children as young

A little while ago, we went to London to take part in the VTech Tour de Trike. The event was put on for bloggers to learn about the VTech 5 in 1 Trike. It was an…erm… interesting experience, largely owing to the journey home, and I wrote about it on my Facebook page and then latterly on my blog here.

You must have heard of Luvabella. She’s been all over TV and the internet and is something of a celebrity. Everyone has an opinion on Luvabella although not many people have actually met her. But we have, and we got to do a Luvabella review! Made by Spinmaster who are the toy company behind last year’s runaway Christmas success Hatchimals,
