    Monday morning again. Hope you had a great weekend (and half term too!). I love to start the week by writing Five Happy Things.

    Family games night with LOL Surprise

    February 24, 2019 - By 

    We like to have a family games evening at least once a week. Usually it’s a Friday as we have no after school clubs so there is plenty of time to relax at home. We’ve been playing a lot of games over half term and have a new favourite to tell you about! We were kindly gifted a box of LOL Surprise games and activities which have kept my 7 year old very busy. She just adores her LOL Surprise dolls so she was very happy to receive such a special gift. The UK’s no.1 toy brand L.O.L Surprise! is…

    Crate Creatures Surprise Barf Buddies

    February 23, 2019 - By 

    Toys + slime are so popular right now. We’ve been playing with a lot of slime during half term. Earlier this week we reviewed the new Poopsie Sparkly Critters, we made slime at our local Hobbycraft, and today are going to tell you about the new Crate Creatures Surprise Barf Buddies. You may remember that we reviewed Crate Creatures last year. They arrive captured in a crate. Each comes with a crow bar which you use to break the lock and unlock your new “beast” friend for hours of horrid fun, over and over again. They are quite interactive as you can pull their…

    Making slime with Poopsie Sparkly Critters

    February 21, 2019 - By 

    I’ve mentioned a few times that my daughter just loves slime. Yesterday we went to our local Hobbycraft to make slime and picked up some more supplies to make it at home. She loves playing with it and it’s fun to see how many different ways we can make it all year round! We were kindly gifted two of the new Poopsie Sparkly Critters from Poopsie Slime Surprise. We have reviewed the Poopsie Poop Pack and the Poopsie Surprise Unicorn, both of which are loads of fun for kids. Poopsie Sparkly Critters The Poopsie Surprise range has grown again with…
