Now in its sixth year, Star Wars Reads, a celebration of Star Wars and reading, has returned with a month-long campaign throughout April. Last year I wrote a post about my son. The only books he would read were Star Wars related, with a few Angry Birds and Minecraft books thrown into the mix. I really thought a year…
I can’t lie. A small part of me was glad that the children returned to school and the husband to work this morning. I really enjoyed our Easter holidays but the days were just so busy and sociable. I missed my quiet time. We’re not blessed with any family anywhere near us so it’s pretty…
With our Easter holidays drawing to a close I must share one of the toys which have kept the children busy – Magic Tracks! Magic Tracks is a new track set system that is just hitting UK. Suitable for children from age 3, the set launched in the US last year and ended the year as one…
We visit Wiltshire quite a few times a year as my mum lives there. It can be difficult to find time for days out but over the last few years we’ve visited Westbury Manor as well as Bratton Camp and the Westbury White Horse. Today we visited the Haynes International Motor Museum with the children (aged…
We’ve now lived in our present house for 4 years. The time has gone so quickly but we’re still discovering local places. I thought it would be fun to write about some of favourite places, and record the new ones we discover too. As the weather is getting warmer we’re so excited to get out…

I’m sure that’s something my children would love to see as they just can’t get enough Easter eggs at this time of year. In fact it’s safe…
If you have little ones then you’re going to want to know about PAW Patrol Live! “Race to the rescue” which has just announced the 2017 UK tour calendar. Oh yes, the UK’s favourite pups star in a heroic musical adventure coming to the UK this summer. My children adore PAW Patrol so we’re so excited…
The children have been enjoying some much needed downtime recently and playing with all their toys. They were delighted to add to their Schleich collection with the Show jumper with Horse set. Schleich are brilliant quality and my children never have any trouble recognising the animals. This fun set includes 1x Hanoverian Mare, 1x rider,…
My children love an Easter Egg hunt. A little bit of me blames those YouTube videos I keep finding them watching. They would spend hours watching other children unboxing very large eggs if they could. However, this love of unboxing videos meant I didn’t hesitate when offered our very own L.O.L. Surprise! Easter hunt. Little Sis…
