Being British I have to mention the amazing weather we’re having at the moment. I love it! The weather definitely has an effect on our appetite which is why we were more than happy to Napolina’s range of pestos which are great for creating a light and tasty meal to enjoy for lunch or dinner….

Playmobil police truck with speedboat

Posted on March 11, 2014July 8, 2016 by jenny

I mentioned that Little Sis has been reviewing some of the Playmobil 1-2-3 range. Her older brother was sent the new Playmobil police truck with speedboat set 5187 to review. It’s a really lovely set and pretty easy to put together although the stickers are very fiddly! According to the Playmobil site: Protect by land…

Spring has arrived

Posted on March 10, 2014July 8, 2016 by jenny

We’ve had unseasonally warm weather over the last few days. It’s been lovely to have the back doors open and my pot of daffodils has definitely brought some of spring inside.

Mothering Sunday crafts

Posted on March 8, 2014February 26, 2018 by jenny

A couple of weeks ago we were sent a lovely parcel of craft goodies from Baker Ross. There were so many craft packs it’s taking us a while to work our way through them, not that any of us have been complaining. With Mothering Sunday coming up soon in the UK (March 30th) we thought…

Olly the Little White Van books

Posted on March 7, 2014 by jenny

I’ve written before about Olly the Little White Van and how much my children love him and his friends. It’s a great pre-school show, 100% written, designed and animated in the UK. My children were sent some new books and activity books to review and literally fought over them as soon as they saw them!…

Posted on March 7, 2014February 8, 2018 by jenny

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve had the added responsibility of looking after Kit the Cupet. He’s small, cute and a lot quieter (and cheaper) than my children! There are 12 cute and quirky ‘cube shaped pets’ to collect. Cupets come to life on your smart device in conjunction with the free app, each…
