My daughter loves dogs but it’s just not practical to get a real one at the moment. I was hoping that she might enjoy the new Peppy Pups plush toy dog from Flair. There are a couple of different dogs in the range, including a cute Pug and Dalmatian. We received the Peppy Pups Pug,…

We had some amazing adventures over the Easter holidays. We stayed at home this year but had lots of trips out planned – mainly as my children just have so much energy! We went into London quite a lot, enjoying a trip to the opera and a Star Wars exhibition as well as local days…

Sunny days and outside play

Sunny days and outside play

Posted on April 25, 2017May 3, 2019 by jenny

April is going so quickly but the longer days and warmer weather means we spend a lot longer outdoors. This weekend we stayed local because we laid a new floor in my son’s bedroom. Thankfully the children were happy to play outside, especially when they received some special happy mail. Outdoor play is really important…

Posted on April 23, 2017April 24, 2017 by jenny

Yesterday I noticed the children were getting a little bored and beginning to bicker. As a parent I know how important it is to let your children be bored. It’s good for thing and often they will think of something to do which is much better than I ever come up with. So I thought…

Posted on April 22, 2017March 7, 2021 by jenny

Now the weather is warming up I’m really excited to get out more at the weekend. Not that we don’t go out in winter, it’s just a lot more enjoyable when the weather is warmer. Living on the outskirts of London the countryside is at the end of the road. We’re lucky to have Odds…

Sylvanian Families Cake Decorating Set

Sylvanian Families Cake Decorating Set

Posted on April 21, 2017January 30, 2019 by jenny

I think it’s pretty apt that my last post was about baking. We’re a family who loves to spend time in the kitchen and our last bake, fingerprint cookies, went down pretty well. So I knew that my 5 year old would love to review the Sylvanian Families Cake Decorating Set. Sylvanian Families Cake Decorating Set…
