Yesterday I noticed the children were getting a little bored and beginning to bicker. As a parent I know how important it is to let your children be bored. It’s good for thing and often they will think of something to do which is much better than I ever come up with. So I thought…
The beautiful weather we were enjoying over the Easter holidays has gone so we’ve been spending more time indoors recently. The kids are desperate to play outside but have had to adapt to indoors games. April is such a changeable month and we are so ready for sunshine! Schleich Eldrador range Our Schleich collection has been out…

Smurfette (Demi Lovato), Brainy (Danny Pudi), Clumsy (Jack McBrayer) and Hefty (Joe Manganiello) use…
