Have you and your family been inspired by the Olympics? My children are too young to understand what’s going on but we’ve been busy visiting Olympic-themed exhibitions, seen the Torch Relay pass by the end of our road, been to the Olympic Park and cheered on the synchronised swimming at the Aquatics Centre, baked Olympic cupcakes and even visited a gold post box. I hope by blogging and scrapbooking these things the children will have memories that will inspire them as they grow up. A fascinating new range of multi-media textbooks for iPad from The Amazing People Club aims to…

We were sent a (very large) box of the new limited edition Colour Me In Rice Krispies and a Bumper Colouring Case with 58 different pens, pencils, glitter glues and markers so the toddler and I could decorate the characters on the Rice Krispies box and personalise breakfast. Quite a long time ago the toddler went off breakfast (spot a theme in our house!?) and for the last year he’s eaten toast and a yoghurt everyday without fail. However, the arrival of the Rice Crispies, or “crisps” as he calls them, has him eating breakfast cereal again! On the day…

I can’t be the only parent in the world who loves buying toys for their children. I don’t think you ever really grow bored of toys and children are a great excuse for forgetting the washing up and having some fun! In fact, I’m happy to admit my house is a mess because I’d rather help the toddler build towers, have car crashes or his recent favourite, race cars down the hallway! Today I have a great giveaway thanks to Argos who have offered the Disney Pixar Cars 2 Spiral Speedway for one lucky reader of the gingerbread house. This…
