Posted on March 4, 2017March 16, 2026 by jenny

My 5 year old love her cuddlies. Every morning she comes downstairs with her favourite cuddly and her muslin. As she’s only 5 she has a lot of soft toys, they seem to rotate on a regular basis. We recently received one of the new Lion Guard Talking Plush toys from Just Play Flair. Both…

Wet weather? {Jungle Monkeyz}

Posted on March 4, 2017March 4, 2017 by jenny

With the wintery weather we are forecast this weekend I thought I would write about one of our favourite places to go when the weather is bad. My children have always enjoyed soft play. When we lived in North London we would frequent Clown Town and Little Dinosaurs. We went so many times we actually…

Win a copy of I’m Wrecked, This Is My Journal

Posted on March 4, 2017January 17, 2019 by jenny

Even though my children are young, there are some lovely products around that we seem to have just missed. I would have loved a set of baby milestone cards and a copy of I’m Wrecked, This Is My Journal by Shannon Cullen. Forget the twee baby books that document every detail you didn’t know you…

Posted on March 3, 2017August 17, 2020 by jenny

It’s been a busy week but all week I’ve been looking forward to visiting The Spring Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia. It’s been a few years since I last went but you can never have enough fabric shopping. I deposited the children at school, hopped on the tube and found myself outside London Olympia….

Protecting our children in a digital world

Posted on March 3, 2017 by jenny

You all know by now that I’m addicted to the internet. Thanks to my techie husband I’ve been an early adopter of most things, including Twitter, Facebook, blogging and all those things that came and went, hello MySpace. I’m careful what I share on line and it’s really interesting juggling this with my children. They…

Posted on March 2, 2017April 26, 2017 by jenny

There is so much excitement about the new The Lego Batman Movie in our house. You may remember we were lucky to attend the premiere a few weeks ago. Both my children love their superheroes so I knew they would love the DC Super Friends Arkham Asylum from Imaginext. Imaginext DC Super Friends Arkham Asylum…

Paper Hearts and Summer Kisses by Carole Matthews

Posted on March 2, 2017March 2, 2017 by jenny

I’m really enjoying reading books at the moment and the latest good read is the lovely Paper Hearts and Summer Kisses by Carole Matthews. I haven’t read anything by this author before but it’s her 29th book so I’m not sure which rock I’ve been hiding under! A heart-warming and poignant novel of romance, family…

Easy no-costume World Book Day costume

Posted on March 2, 2017August 17, 2021 by jenny

This is the first year that my children’s school has celebrated World Book Day. Previously they have given out the tokens but never asked the children to dress up. I always enjoyed looking at my Facebook feed and seeing what everyone dressed their children up as, this year it was our turn to take part!…

Posted on March 1, 2017February 19, 2023 by jenny

Spring is definitely in the air today. It may have just started raining where we live, but when I walked to the shops earlier today the sun was shining and I spotted so many daffodils and crocuses in bloom. Winter has gone on for far too long and I am ready to embrace Spring! With…
