Posted on November 5, 2017November 6, 2017 by jenny

Are you one of the many parents who have the Slither.io app on their phone? My 7 year old loves Slither.io and has been teaching me how to play it. A huge gaming phenomenon and YouTuber hit, 60% of British 0-14 year olds have downloaded Slither.io and 124 million games are played a month in the UK….

This afternoon we spent a lovely few hours at the PlayStation Family Showcase at the Perseverance Works in London. Big Brother and Dad went last year and they had such a good time that we all decided to go this year. We had been ice skating in the morning at a Baby born event, more…

Sylvanian Families Baby Sleigh Ride Set review

Posted on November 4, 2017October 16, 2024 by jenny

My daughter (and I) love Sylvanian Families so couldn’t wait to get our hands on the limited edition Sylvanian Families Baby Sleigh Ride Set. This is new for Christmas 2017 and connects with the Halloween Baby Trick or Treat Set  I bought last month. I bought my set from the Sylvanian Families Shop in London (along…

Old Sarum {exploring Wiltshire}

Posted on November 3, 2017August 31, 2020 by jenny

We’ve been National Trust members on and off for years now. Writing that makes me feel really old! I love history and so it made sense to join an organisation looking after historic buildings and landscapes which also offered great days out for the family. Whilst staying in Wiltshire last week we realised that quite…

Kid made gifts in a jar {Minecraft in a jar}

Posted on November 3, 2017January 15, 2025 by jenny

My children take a jar filled with toys or sweets into school every Christmas for their Christmas Fair contribution. The whole school does this and in return the kids get to wear their own clothes to school. The filled jars are then sold at the Fair and raise money for school. It’s a great way…

Finding great Christmas gifts for £5

Posted on November 2, 2017August 30, 2022 by jenny

I’m sure I can’t be the only person who starts their Christmas planning early. This time of year is busy with family birthdays and school events and the only way I can through it is with lots of lists and being organised. BritMums recently got in touch to see if I would like to take…

Playmobil Royal Ice Skating Trip Advent Calendar

Posted on November 2, 2017October 25, 2019 by jenny

I love Christmas and have been excitedly working on filling up our Advent Crate which is delivered by our little Elf on the 1st December. Every one in our house gets an Advent Calendar and I love looking round for the latest must-have calendars. We’ve been Playmobil Playologists for a while now and were lucky…

Posted on November 1, 2017November 24, 2019 by jenny

Now that Halloween is over for another year it’s time to turn our attention to Christmas. If you’re a regular reader of my blog you’ll know that I’m pretty big on celebrating the seasons and family traditions. Snapfish recently got in touch and asked me if I would like to create a photo book with…

Limited edition BEAR Claws for our Trick or Treaters!

Posted on October 31, 2017May 21, 2023 by jenny

My children have been (almost) climbing the walls with excitement for most of October. They just adore Halloween and have been dressing up, pleading with me to get the Halloween decorations out of the loft, and helping me bake spooky treats all month. Halloween can, and should be, a really fun festival for children. They…
