As I mentioned on Monday we’re very excited to be taking part in a fun Plasticine Softeez Twitter party on Wednesday 5th August between 2-4pm. The Party will be for the new Plasticine Softeez range for Autumn/Winter from Flair which is aimed at children ages 3-7. New Plasticine Softeez has the stability of original Plasticine and still never dries out, but is softer and easier to model with than the original. So is perfect for little hands! We are really looking forward to our party and sharing it with you so I thought I would tell you a little more about…

This week I received a super cute box of kawaii loveliness. You all know how much I love my kawaii goodies so I was super excited to receive the July Super Cute Box. Quite simply the Super Cute Box is a monthly subscription box filled with cuteness from all around the world! The ethos behind Super Cute Box is twofold: to source cute items from all over the world including kitsch, vintage, quirky, kawaii, retro etc.; and to include at least one item every month from a small business or independent designer. This is a great way to encourage individuals…

I’m a little late with my weekly Monday happy things due to the Summer holidays. Anyone else feel as exhausted as I do already? I had a wonderful child-free weekend in Europe with my husband. We stayed in Antwerp and enjoyed sampling Belgian beers, waffles, and admiring lots of paintings by Reubens. We also caught the train to Utrecht to see the Miffy exhibition at the Centraal Museum and spot some of the statues from the Miffy art parade. I’ve had a beautiful bouquet of hydrangeas and cream roses brightening up our living room this week. The latest craft book…

We’re really enjoying Dora and Friends: Into the City!. Little Sis is now 3 and I think Into the City reflects the world that she is growing up in. She received some of the wonderful new Dora and Friends toys to review. These included the new Dora and Friends 8″ dolls, Dora and Friends Magic Charm bracelet, Dora Magic Adventure Charms and Dora and Friends Toy Smartphone. We’ve had great fun making our own charm bracelets, just like Dora. We liked the fact Little Sis was able to choose which charms she wanted to use and put them on herself.…

The Summer holidays have started now Big Brother has finished school. We’ve been enjoying lazy mornings and lots of crafting. Luckily we were sent some lovely craft kits from Baker Ross and the children really enjoyed the mini butterfly sun catchers. It contained 12 butterfly sun catchers of four different designs and some ribbon to hang them. We used our fine tip porcelain and glass pens to colour them and I put down a plastic splash mat to protect my table (both from Baker Ross). My children love to craft but I’m not always ready with ideas and materials for…

Earlier this year Schleich introduced some new products to their Farm life range. A few months ago we reviewed the Schleich horse riding arena and we were sent some items from the new range which complement this set. We love Schleich toys, they are beautifully made with an amazing level of detail. They are great for imaginative play and the children have been having fun with the horse riding arena. It came with a horse, rider and a few accessories but I like the fact you can buy more. We received 3 horses, the Knabstrupper mare (item 13769), Tennessee Walker…

Yesterday I took part in a fun Twitter party and asked my readers what they will be celebrating this summer. I love taking part in Twitter parties and it was a fun way to share our important events and celebrations. I love sending gifts especially for birthdays or those milestone life events. As part of the Twitter party I received a beautiful bouquet of hydrangeas, a personalised card, as well as a gorgeous Me to You bear, all available from Moonpig. The flowers included hydrangeas and cream roses and have been making the house smell fresh and summery. I also…
