We’ve reviewed a Kawaii Box before and loved it. In case you haven’t heard of it, it’s a monthly subscription box from Japan filled with cute treats. They believe that a tiny dose of cuteness can provide a huge boost of positivity to our life – and we agree! What’s inside the December Kawaii Box?

    How are your children settling into the new academic year? Mine are pretty tired and grumpy which isn’t surprising after our long, hot summer adventures. Routine usually works quite well for our family so I’m hoping that we’ll soon get into the swing of things, especially now that all our extra-curricular activities have started too. A few weeks ago we were kindly sent some back to school supplies along with packs of our favourite squishies, Moj Moj. You may remember that we have featured them before. Moj Moj are super squishy characters with fun, collectible themes. My children just adore…
