The Bank Holiday weekend was a great opportunity to catch up on some reading. We spent yesterday clearing out the children’s playhouse of toys, and turning it into a chill out den for them. They hoovered, put up posters and added a little desk and chair and beanbag. It was lovely to see them enjoying…
Family Life
Collectable plush Petooties Pets
It has been super cold today for a weekend in May. It didn’t stop us going out to the park or having a day out but we’ve taken jumpers and coats! Fingers crossed the next Bank Holiday in May is warmer! Luckily for Little Sis she was sent a bundle of Petooties Pets, the brand…
Five Happy Things {Week 239}
I love to start the week by writing Five Happy Things. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures – it’s a post I always enjoy writing. Last week was pretty crazy as…
A visit to Bradley Manor House, Newton Abbot

Win a Spiderman into the Spider-Verse bundle
Yesterday we took part in a Twitter viewing party with @SonyPicsAtHome for Spiderman Into The Spider-Verse which was released on DVD this week. Ok, so we may have missed the start of the party, but we still had fun watching at home, especially as we were sent a bundle of toys to play along with…
Blogger Board Game Club: House of Danger
Our latest game from the Blogger Board Game Club was House of Danger, based on the book by R.A. Montgomery. When I first saw the game it immediately made me think of the story books I read as a child, the ones with multiple possible endings where you choose your own adventure. I loved that…
Exploring Shaldon with kids
Shaldon is a village in South Devon, on the south bank of the estuary of the River Teign, opposite Teignmouth. The village is really pretty and unspoilt, full of quaint little streets and shops and definitely worth a visit. Last week we were staying in Teignmouth with a direct view over to Shaldon. We couldn’t…
