I’m almost scared to use the “C” work but I must admit to starting my Christmas planning in August. With two demanding children with significant wishlists and numerous friends and family I like to start my planning and shopping early. Argos published its Christmas top gift list a few weeks ago which included Snuggles My…
My children have settled really well into the new school year. My 4 year old has just started Reception but only went for morning last week. She has been really happy every day I picked her up which was a huge relief. The only thing she didn’t like was drinking her milk so I have…
My son is a keen gamer. Screen time is his reward for doing his homework, reading a book to his younger sister or going to bed properly. Yes, at 6 he still has a reward chart but it really works for him (and us!). Anyway, his favourite games are Mario Super Kart on the DS…

We’ve been taking inspiration from those cute little Trolls recently. We’ve seen the trailer for the new Trolls film a few times and enjoyed playing with the new Poppy Style Station which we recently reviewed. I thought it would be fun to bake and decorate Trolls gingerbread biscuits so found a cookie cutter online and…
Here in the South of England we’ve been experiencing a mini heatwave. My daughter is only doing half days at school this week as she settles in so we’ve had some amazing afternoon playdates in the sunshine.
