Win a bundle of Sofia the First toys

Posted on September 14, 2016November 19, 2025 by jenny

We’re pretty big Disney fans here. My 4 year old loves her Disney Princesses and Sofia the First is one of her favourites. What’s not to like about the magical world of Sofia the First, the little girl who learns that behaving like a princess has to come from the heart? My 4 year old…

Zog and the Flying Doctors {a picture book review}

Posted on September 12, 2016August 16, 2019 by jenny

Since my children came along I have enjoyed reading the stories by Julia Donaldson as much as my children have. Yesterday I heard that the latest book to be animated is The Highway Rat and will be screened at Christmas 2017. That feels like quite a long time so I was also pretty pleased to…

It’s Monday again and for once I am sitting in silence, listening to the radio all on my own. Time for my weekly Monday Happy List post!

Crochet for beginners

Posted on September 11, 2016September 25, 2025 by jenny

I’m always keen to try new creative things. I love learning and making things with my hands. Nothing beats leaving my family bubble for a few hours, getting out and meeting new people and hopefully picking up a new hobby. Aside from crafting with my children I love to indulge my hobby of sewing but…

Posted on September 10, 2016August 31, 2020 by jenny

Avebury is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles, around the pretty village of Avebury in Wiltshire. It also happens to be between my Mum’s house and ours so we often stop off on the way home. Exploring Avebury Stone Circle with children is a great day out as there is so much to…

Vintage bird jigsaw {charity shopping for me}

Posted on September 9, 2016 by jenny

It’s been a while since I shared a vintage find here. I still love charity shopping but as my children get older (and there is no more room for toys!), I’m able to focus on the things I want for myself a bit more. I love vintage games as they are fun to craft with….

Could you be Disney On Ice’s Fit To Dance champion?

Posted on September 7, 2016October 14, 2020 by jenny

Last week we received a special invitation from Disney On Ice to attend an exclusive VIP Fit To Dance class event with Disney On Ice skaters and Disney On Ice super fan Peter Andre! I’m not sure my children know who Peter Andre is but I quite like him so off we went to the Dominion Theatre in…

My First Bananagrams

Posted on September 6, 2016August 16, 2019 by jenny

Today my son started Year 2 but I’m so glad to have my daughter at home for a few more days! I’ve mentioned a few of the family games we’ve recently started playing. Today I’m sharing another one, My First Bananagrams, which my 4 year old really enjoys. You’ve probably heard of Bananagrams, a word…
