Tuff spot fairy garden play

Tuff spot fairy garden play

Posted on July 4, 2017May 11, 2020 by jenny

I think a tuff pot must be one of the best products I ever bought. It gets used a lot, especially in the warmer months, and is the perfect size for both my children to use together. At the weekend my children got out their Fairy Busy Box for some small world play. The weather…

Talking about intimate health {£50 Amazon voucher giveaway}

Posted on July 3, 2017November 10, 2022 by jenny

I love my children but the one conversation I’m not looking forward to is any of the grown up ones! Both my children are inquisitive little people and I like and encourage that. I always tell them there’s no such thing as a silly question and if I don’t know the answer I can help…

mila & pheebs subscription box for kids

Posted on July 2, 2017December 6, 2020 by jenny

I’m a huge fan of subscription boxes so it’s probably no surprise that my children love receiving happy mail too. I find subscription boxes are perfect for the weekend. We all have a little more time to kick back and relax and they are great when the children need some quiet time. We received the…

A day at Mottisfont House and Gardens

Posted on July 1, 2017March 28, 2021 by jenny

A few weekends ago we met up with some friends at Mottisfont House and Gardens in Hampshire. Entry was free with our National Trust membership cards and we had a great day out exploring the house and gardens. The weather wasn’t great (ok, it rained on and off all day) but it didn’t stop us…
