I’m not quite sure how my son discovered emoji’s but he has fully embraced it. Maybe it’s a boy thing, maybe it’s because he just turned 7. But it seemed like a great theme for his birthday. He first discovered them through playing on my iPhone, surprisingly they were only in the last few years…
We’re so lucky as there are plenty of films we want to catch over the Easter holidays (now just 2 weeks away!). As well as the new and re-booted Beauty and the Beast we are looking forward to Smurfs: The Lost Village. Smurfette (Demi Lovato), Brainy (Danny Pudi), Clumsy (Jack McBrayer) and Hefty (Joe Manganiello) use…

But first let me tell you about the Cake Soap Factory kit from Wild! Science. Cake Soap Factory The Cake Soap Factory is an educational and fun kit for children aged 8 and…
My son turns 7 on Saturday which I’m sure you can imagine, he is very excited about. He’s a really easy-going boy and actually didn’t have any huge demands for his birthday. For the last few years he’s had an Amazon wish-list but it’s strangely empty at the moment. Don’t worry – he will have…
My 5 year old absolutely adores Batman so for Christmas we gave her tickets to go and see The Art Of The Brick: DC Super Heroes, billed as the world’s largest collection of Super Heroes-inspired LEGO artwork! Created by legendary Lego artist Nathan Sawaya, this is the second large-scale exhibition of his that we’ve been…
