I love eating out but don’t really get the chance to go to too many places whilst the children are so young. They have their favourite child-friendly restaurants they like to go which we find ourselves sticking to as it makes life easier. Over the last couple of years we often treat ourselves to our favourite takeaways and we both have our go-to comfort food after a busy week. I was recently sent a copy of Homemade Takeaways: How to make your favourite takeaway … but better by Rob Allison to review. The book contains 100 recipes covering your favourite…

As well as toys we were also sent some lovely books to read and review over the holidays. One of our favourites was Pom Pom the Champion, written and illustrated by Sophy Henn. If you enjoyed Sophy’s previous book, Pom Pom Gets the Grumps, then you will love Pom Pom latest’s tale. Sophy Henn, who was recently described as a ‘Rising Star’ by The Bookseller, combines her unique and contemporary illustrations with her warm and humorous writing style. One morning Pom Pom was all at sixes and sevens. He didn’t know what to do with himself. His mum suggests a game and…

Over the school holidays the children were sent some lovely toys to review. My 3 year old really loves the Doc McStuffins Playtime Lotto Game from Jumbo. That was fun! The whole day you have been playing in and around the house taking good care of your friends, and now the time has come to clean up. But where did you leave your stethoscope and your bandages? Can you find all the things you have left behind? The Lotto game consists of 2 game boards that make up Doc’s house, 24 round picture cards, 4 lotto cards, 4 playing figures…

I’m bracing myself for my children going back to school next week. I know it won’t be long before the letters home start being placed in school bags and I will be expected to provide money, cakes and dressing up clothes for both of them. Last year I had fun making a cute little ladybird costume for my son, which then got upcycled into a superhero cape for my daughter. I was pretty proud of myself for that one! I received a beautiful new craft book to review which has given me tons of inspiration to prepare myself. Wild Things…

The school holidays have given us lot of lovely time to craft and experiment. We’ve gone through lots of supplies and organised our craft supplies several times in a bid to keep tidy (not easy with two children who love to craft!). Yesterday we finally got the chance to try some products we were sent from Faber Castell – the Faber-Castell Connector Paint Box and the Clic & Go Water Pot. Making Miffy mail! We’ve never experimented with watercolour paint before but I came up with a fun activity to keep my children busy. We made our own Miffy mail…

Yesterday we spent the morning at the Innocent Fruit and Veg Fest at Fruit Towers. My children love Innocent smoothies so I knew they would enjoy themselves and they were very excited when they heard where we were going. We arrived at Fruit Towers where they were given their own shopping lists. For each fruit and veg activity they completed they were given a sticker for their list. They made fruit and veg heads – Little Sis is a cucumber fiend and ate most of the Cucumber Daddy she made. They did some painting using fruit and veg which made…
