The Baby and Toddler Show is a must for parents-to-be, parents, grandparents, friends and just about everyone. You’ll find hundreds of brands under one roof making it a brilliant place to find out more about prams, cots, nappies and just about anything and every baby product every imagined. The Baby and Toddler Show is one of the most popular shows of its kind in the UK. With their latest show only weeks away (7th – 9th March) at Event City in Manchester and the Bluewater show (25th – 27th April) not far behind, I am delighted to be able to…

Last week we were the lucky recipients of a Magic Pancake Possibilities Box from Warburtons. I never knew Warburtons made pancakes, we’re much more used to eating their delicious bread, so we were looking forward to trying them. My children absolutely loved opening the Magic Pancake Box which played Pure Imagination from the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory film everytime the lid was opened. The box was a very special full sensory fun packed pancake kit, which helped keep my children entertained during half term and also gave us some new ideas ahead of Pancake Day on March 4th.…

How are you coping with half term? I’m pretty pleased we’ve reached the half way point 🙂 I love my 3 year old but he talks non-stop from the second he sneaks into bed with me in the morning until his bedtime. Those few hours he spends at nursery each day are a very welcome break but that’s not to say the break from the normal routine isn’t welcome. We’ve been pretty busy with a trip into the West End, story time at the library and lots of baking and crafts at home. I thought the children needed a boost…

We love living in London and the next best thing to being out and about is reading books about London. Hello! London, illustrated by Marion Billet, is a beautiful new book from Campbell Books. Aimed at 1 year+ my children have been enjoying looking at this book together. Turn the London Eye, open and close Tower Bridge, take a ride on the Tube and more! Push, pull and slide the scene to explore the sights of the busy city. Hello! London is a fantastic book as there’s so much to look at and talk about. Perfect for Londoners or those just…

Flint Lockwood and the Swallow Falls gang are back to dish-up a hippotatomus-sized adventure in Sony Pictures Animation’s Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 which is out on Blu-ray & DVD on the 17th February. Inventor Flint Lockwood thought he saved the world when he destroyed his most infamous invention — a machine that turned water into food, causing cheeseburger rain and spaghetti tornadoes. However, he soon learns that his invention survived and is now creating food-animals, or “foodimals!” Now, Flint and his friends must embark on a dangerously delicious mission to battle hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, hippotatomuses, cheespiders and…

I love the way blogging seems to make me really aware of the seasons and holidays. Perhaps it’s just me trying to entertain 2 small children or spending too much time on Pinterest. Anyway St David’s Day seems to be our next holiday so we tried making Welsh cakes. A couple of years ago we had a lovely weekend in Cardiff Bay and, as I was pregnant at the time, I enjoyed lots of Welsh cakes. They are so simple to make I’m annoyed that I haven’t made them before. It’s also such a simple recipe and method that they’re…

Big Brother kindly offered to review some of Flairs Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles products. He was sent a Power Sound FX Turtles Figure and a Turtles Ninja Combat Gear Set. According to Wikipedia: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (often shortened to TMNT or Ninja Turtles) are a fictional team of four teenage anthropomorphic turtles, named after four Renaissance artists, who were trained by their anthropomorphic rat sensei in the art of ninjutsu. From their home in the storm sewers of New York City, they battle petty criminals, evil overlords, mutated animals, and alien invaders while attempting to remain isolated from…
