    Little Live Pets Surprise Chick

    February 8, 2017 - By 

    I really enjoyed putting together a Christmas Eve basket for my children so I thought I would do something similar for Easter. I know it’s still a few weeks away but with half term coming up I need to make a head start on my preparations. Little Live Pets Surprise Chick Recently we’ve been reviewing the Little Live Pets Hatching Chick. My 6 year old son has become quite attached to it as it’s really realistic. Hear the surprise chick tapping and chirping inside the egg and then watch in amazement as it hatches out and hops about! It’s really…

    Glimmies fairy dolls review

    January 27, 2017 - By 

    I think I’ve discovered the next cute. collectable toy that my daughter will be spending all her pocket money on – Glimmies. And just what are Glimmies you may well ask. Glimmies are sweet little fairy dolls, each with their own name and bio. Children can go on to collect and create a magical world with the Glimmies. My daughter loves her fairy play so I knew these would be a big hit with her. We were sent a couple of the new Glimmies Single Blister Packs to review.The Blister Packs are larger than a blind bag. There are 12 different…

    Playing Minecraft offline {Minecraft Figure Collection}

    January 14, 2017 - By 

    My 6 year old has been playing Minecraft for quite a long time now. He is a bit of an expert and his 5 year old sister enjoys playing too, although she’s not allowed in his world unless he’s watching! Last Christmas everything was about Minecraft. He received Minecraft clothing, books and toys which have been played with over and over again. It seems kind of funny that you can buy Minecraft toys when it’s a computer game but my son already has a collection of Minecraft figures and accessories. A new Minecraft Figure Collection from Character Options has recently…

    Scottie dog, top hat or race car? {Monopoly tokens)

    January 13, 2017 - By 

    My favourite board game growing up was Monopoly. I loved it and was always the Scottie Dog token. I’m not sure why my favourite was Monopoly but I’ve always loved building a property empire and making lots of money! Earlier today I played a game of Monopoly with my son and I quickly bought up my favourite properties – the brown ones, the purple ones and the train stations. I have always played like this and it really felt as though it wasn’t 15 years since my last game, but 15 minutes! Thankfully my son enjoyed our game too and…

    Disney’s Moana of Oceania doll review

    January 8, 2017 - By 

    We are so excited about the latest Disney film, Moana. It was released just before Christmas and we went to see it during the holidays. We love going to the cinema and Moana is a great anti-princess figure for my daughter. Moana is an adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfil her ancestors’ unfinished quest. During her journey, Moana meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui, and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds. My 5 year old daughter enjoyed…

    The Trolls film continues to be something we talk about in our household. We saw the film and loved it. the soundtrack seems to constantly play in our house, and why not?! It is full of happy tunes, perfect for getting the children moving in the morning! My daughter loves the main character Poppy, so was excited to be sent the DreamWorks Trolls Hug Time Poppy doll to review from Hasbro. In case you haven’t seen it yet, the film features Poppy, the optimistic leader of the Trolls, and her polar opposite, Branch. They embark on an adventure that takes them…
