Fun at The Grossery Gang Movie London premiere

Posted on August 1, 2017 by jenny

My 7 year old just loves The Grossery Gang. They can be found in Cheap Town, a once bustling urban metropolis BUT ever since the mega motorway to Sales City was built there hasn’t been a single customer in this now run down town! Don’t feel bad though, SOMETHING has been left behind…take a peek inside…

A girls day out to watch The Emoji Movie

Posted on July 30, 2017 by jenny

My children love sending emoji messages so when they saw a trailer for The Emoji Movie I knew we would be going to see it at some point. We were lucky to receive an invitation to a special screening of The Emoji Movie at Cineworld in Leicester Square. My son was busy so my daughter…

Lion Guard Rise of Scar playset

Posted on July 23, 2017August 30, 2022 by jenny

Growing up I loved Disney so it’s probably no surprise that my children do too. I remember The Lion King coming out and going to see it at the cinema with some friends. I had all the Disney soundtracks! I was so excited when I first heard about The Lion Guard animated series. As a…

Mixit Magazine for girls review

Mixit magazine {a new magazine for girls}

Posted on July 19, 2017 by jenny

I’m not normally a huge fan of anything which is produced just for girls or just for boys. However, despite my 5 year old insisting she hates the colour pink, it doesn’t seem to stop her being drawn to the colour, wearing the colour, or loving anything pink! I guess she’s a little contrary but…

Siblings {July 2017}

Posted on July 16, 2017March 4, 2018 by jenny

I’m sure that I’m feeling like most parents right now – enjoying the feeling of life slowing down for the end of term next week. Life reached fever pitch just around the time my son took his Year 2 SATs and since them I have felt him slowly unwind, becoming the lovely happy boy I…

A day at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre Aylesbury {exploring our local area}

Posted on July 15, 2017May 7, 2025 by jenny

Earlier this year we enjoyed a day out exploring a little further afield than normal. We all love heritage railways so visited the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre at Aylesbury. It is a railway museum based at the old Quainton Road railway station, about 5 miles west of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. The site is divided into two halves which are joined by two…

PJ Masks Glow In The Dark Jigsaw Puzzle

PJ Masks Glow In The Dark Jigsaw Puzzle review

Posted on July 13, 2017August 11, 2019 by jenny

My children have always enjoyed puzzles showing their favourite characters. PJ Masks has been really popular with my 5 year old (although I don’t think anything will ever beat her love for Paw Patrol!). She was sent the new PJ Masks Glow In The Dark XL 60 Piece Puzzle to try at home. This puzzle…
