Do you give gifts at Easter? I’d love to say I was organised enough to arrange Easter baskets for my children but so far they just have their favourite character Easter eggs to unwrap. Today we received a copy of Tales Of The Start Of Spring to review. It’s the first ever DVD collection of episodes from the new animated series Peter Rabbit and I think it would make a great gift for little ones. Follow our hero Peter and his friends Benjamin Bunny and Lily Bobtail on their adventures as they encounter real dangers, overcome obstacles and outsmart predators,…

I’m so late with my weekly Monday happy things post. With half term in sunny Devon and my husband’s 40th birthday today we’ve been really busy, but in a good way. – I finished The Miniaturist (which I loved) and have just started reading The Secrets Sisters Keep! by Sinead Moriarty which is looking promising. – I came home to my sweet new acrylic prints which I had ordered from Truprint as a Mother’s Day gift to myself. I chose two of my favourite photographs of the children and turned them into acrylic prints which, at 6×4″, fit perfectly on my…

It’s half term and I’m enjoying lovely family time therefore I am keeping my Monday Happy Things post short and sweet. – The view from our window is rather spectacular as we are lucky enough to be spending some time by the seaside. – We watched The Theory of Everything, the film based on the memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen by Jane Wilde Hawking, Stephen Hawking’s first wife. We’ve watched a lot of films recently and this is one of my favourites. Physics, Cambridge, Eddie Redmayne – what’s not to love. – I’ve been Charity Shop shopping…

Although I swore I wouldn’t start getting excited about Christmas until the 1st of December I admit I may have slipped. This weekend we were invited to a preview of Get Santa, a festive film which is out on December 5th. It features some brilliant British actors such as Jim Broadbent, Rafe Spall, Joanna Scanlan and Warwick Davis and is a really fun family film. Basically, a young boy finds Santa Claus in the shed at the bottom of his garden after he has crash landed his fancy new sleigh. Santa enlists the boy and his father to get the reindeer,…

I was recently offered the opportunity to review The Care Bears: Totally Sweet Adventures on DVD. As a child of the early 80s I fondly remembered Care Bears so couldn’t resist sharing this with my children to see what they thought. We’re had a crazy couple of week but yesterday afternoon Little Sis and I sat down and put The Care Bears: Totally Sweet Adventures on. She was immediately enthralled and enjoyed the episodes. Ride the rainbow to Care-a-lot and join the super cute, fluffy and adventurous Share Bear, Cheer Bear and all their Care Bear friends in four exciting…
