I’ve been self-employed for the last few years, juggling my blog around when my children are at school. I would love to say I’m organised, managing my workload alongside family life with no hiccups, but I can’t. Most of the time my house looks like a bomb has hit it and I often feel like…
Sometimes I really can’t remember where I found things. I guess that’s the good thing about the internet. You see a pretty picture on Instagram or read something on a blog and before you know it, you’ve found another subscription box to try out. That’s pretty much how I came across Craftpod.

My children adore Paw Patrol and were lucky to receive a copy of their latest DVD, PAW Patrol: Game On! Yes, everyone’s favourite rescue pups are back in action in seven exciting, sports-themed adventures and rescues.

With a 5 and 7 year old I keep expecting certain things to drop off their radar. Things like Peppa Pig. By my calculating it’s now been too many years that my children have watched and played Peppa Pig. It’s like some strange comfort blanket though, and if they want to wind down before bed…
If you have young children like me then you will probably have heard of What the Ladybird Heard. This is the first of three titles in the What the Ladybird Heard picture book series, followed by What the Ladybird Heard Next and the highly-anticipated What the Ladybird Heard on Holiday which is due to hit UK bookshops on 29th June 2017.

Today is the next letter in our A-Z Play at Home blog hop. Last week was the letter A and I have to admit I had loads more ideas for that letter after we had published! This week’s letter is B, so we are using bottle tops. I started saving these when my children were…
