    Kate & Mim-Mim coming soon to CBeebies

    My two little pre-schoolers love CBeebies so we were excited to hear about a new show coming soon. Called Kate & Mim–Mim, it tells the story of feisty five-year old Kate and her big imagination! Whenever Kate faces a problem or something stirs her curiosity, she and her favourite toy bunny Mim-Mim twirl off to the fantasy world of Mimiloo, where Mim-Mim transforms into a larger-than-life playmate.

    Tree Fu Tom magazine

    If you’re the parent of a pre-schooler you are probably familiar with the magical world of Tree Fu Tom and Treetopolis. My son loves the programme and can often be found sending magic to Tom in his own unique way! He was pretty excited to receive a copy of the new Tree Fu Tom magazine which launched last month. The magazine is packed full of activities to keep little ones busy. My children enjoyed the stickers, colouring, learning about ladybirds and playing the games. There was lots to do so they kept returning to it and I think it represents…

    Counting down (and Peppa Pig biscuits)

    We’re currently counting down until Little Sis’ first birthday. I’m not sure where the year has gone, it’s been fun but not without it’s difficulties. Her cheeky little smile seems to have got me through the worst of the sleepless nights and days of screaming. Yes, my child is not perfect and has only just started sleeping through without waking! So far, the handmade birthday card has been sent in to CBeebies, 6 weeks early as requested. We’ve had a dry run with making Peppa Pig biscuits. The final version were flooded with pink icing but I forgot to photograph…
