We love the toy brand Schleich. Regular readers will know this as they feature quite often here on our blog. Schleich make the most beautiful, realistic, hand-painted figure which my children love to collect and play with. A few weeks ago we were sent the new Marvel Thor figurine from Schleich to review. One of the latest superheroes to join the Schleich collection is the mighty Thor! This new figurine looks exactly like the character in the up and coming Thor: Ragnarok film. This is part of their Marvel range which includes such as Spider-man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Dr…

My children adore pocket money toys. The both receive a small amount of pocket money if they’ve done their homework and kept their rooms tidy. Have you heard of Zomlings before?

They are aimed at children aged 4-7 so it’s probably no surprise that my children have collected a few. They were excited to be sent a selection of the new Series 6 Zomlings to tell you about.…

My 7 year old loves the Disney Cars franchise. It was the first film he saw and he has collected pretty much all the toy cars from Cars, Cars 2 and Cars 3 – yes, my house does look like a toy shop! He’s a creative little person so loves to play with pretty much anything Cars related. Last month he reviewed the 3D Cruz Ramirez Set from Aquabeads. Aquabeads are the perfect toy for creative kids. You create designs using coloured beads on a tray, spray with water and they magically stick together. My son has made a few…

Did you know that us Mums spend £1,589 replacing items lost by their kids before the age of ten – and nearly two days in total looking for them, according to a new study commissioned by Neatlynamed, manufacturers of labels for children’s clothing and belongings. Researchers found the average youngster misplaces a total of 483 belongings between the ages of three and ten – with hats, jumpers and cuddly toys among the most commonly lost items. And 62 per cent of possessions which go missing, such as coats, school uniform items and books, are NEVER found again. But this might not…

Do you ever have those crazy ideas where you say, let’s stop off on our long journey over the Bank Holiday weekend? As if the traffic isn’t usually bad enough over a BH weekend we broke our journey to south Devon in Bristol. It’s one of my favourite cities and one we rarely go to since we had our kids. I have such happy memories of exploring Bristol with my husband and longed to re-visit some of our old haunts. So we booked into the Bristol Marriot Royal Hotel for a whistle-stop adventure in Bristol as a family of four.…

Photo by Ben Neale on Unsplash I’m so excited as we are getting our hands on our new (to us!) car today. My husband loves cars and since we’ve had the kids we’ve opted for quite comfy cars, big enough to carry all our stuff. I don’t know about you but we have a lot of stuff. Our house is full, the sheds are full and stuff overflows to the car. Luckily my husband had a secret floor of the boot where we kept all our car essentials. When we emptied the old car to sell it, out came the kites, the picnic…
