Pass the Pigs! {game review}

Pass the Pigs! {game review}

Posted on August 15, 2017September 15, 2024 by jenny

We’re currently away and had to be quite careful what we packed due to lack of space in the car. This was especially hard for my children as there are so many things they can’t possibly live without! The one thing they both agreed on was Pass the Pigs, a really fun game we’ve been…

Peppa’s Family Home toy review

Posted on August 10, 2017January 19, 2020 by jenny

I can’t imagine a time when my daughter doesn’t love Peppa Pig. It’s one of her favourite characters and she loves watching the cartoon and playing with her Peppa toys. Although as a parent it feels like I’ve watched *all* the episodes, there were actually new episodes last month! Did you watch them? New episodes…

Nerf Modulus Regulator review

Posted on August 6, 2017 by jenny

My children have been gifted some really amazing toys to play with and review over the Summer holidays. It’s a hard job putting toys through their paces but I try really hard to make sure we review anything thoroughly, before we share it here on our blog. My son loves his Nerf collection and was…

Mini balloon creations with The Oonies Inflator Starter Pack

Posted on August 2, 2017February 22, 2023 by jenny

We’ve been doing plenty of reading and writing practice during the holidays but sometimes it’s nice to work on other skills too. That’s just what we’ve been doing with the Oonies Inflator Starter Pack from Character Option. Ooonies are inflatable mini balloons that join together to create a whole world of miniature characters. As well…

Aquabeads 3D Cruz Ramirez Set

Aquabeads 3D Cruz Ramirez Set from Disney Cars3

Posted on July 31, 2017 by jenny

If you’re looking for a craft activity to keep the children busy over the summer holidays then look no further than Aquabeads. My children love Aquabeads, and I love Aquabeads because it’s something they can do all on their own. My 7 year old loves the Disney franchise Cars. We went to see the latest…

Fingerlings Baby Monkey review and giveaway

Posted on July 28, 2017May 25, 2018 by jenny

I can’t believe the first week of the summer holidays is nearly over. We’ve been so busy but still had time to review the very cute Fingerlings from WooWee. Fingerlings Baby Monkeys love hanging onto your finger and know when they’re being touched, spoken to, and even hung upside down! These perfect primate pets come to…

Lion Guard Rise of Scar playset

Posted on July 23, 2017August 30, 2022 by jenny

Growing up I loved Disney so it’s probably no surprise that my children do too. I remember The Lion King coming out and going to see it at the cinema with some friends. I had all the Disney soundtracks! I was so excited when I first heard about The Lion Guard animated series. As a…

PJ Masks Glow In The Dark Jigsaw Puzzle review

Posted on July 13, 2017August 11, 2019 by jenny

My children have always enjoyed puzzles showing their favourite characters. PJ Masks has been really popular with my 5 year old (although I don’t think anything will ever beat her love for Paw Patrol!). She was sent the new PJ Masks Glow In The Dark XL 60 Piece Puzzle to try at home. This puzzle…
