    Win a copy of Peppa Loves Doctors and Nurses

    June 11, 2020 - By 

    There are lots of lovely initiatives to help raise awareness and funds for the current situation. I knew my readers would love to hear all about the new release from Ladybird, who have just published a new Peppa Pig picture book to support a Covid-19 charity. Peppa Loves Doctors and Nurses Today Ladybird publishes a new Peppa Pig picture book – Peppa Loves Doctors and Nurses.  And what’s more, 10% of the RRP will go directly to support a Covid-19 charity doing incredible work in these tricky times.  The Covid-19 Urgent Appeal, run by NHS Charities Together, will benefit from…

    Win a copy of Peppa Pig: Peppa’s Post

    October 18, 2015 - By 

    We recently received a lovely new Peppa Pig picture book which both my 3 and 5 year old have been enjoying. Much more than a picture book, Peppa Pig: Peppa’s Post is reminiscent of Janet & Allan Ahlberg’s The Jolly Postman. The invitations are sent, rehearsals are complete, but who is the mystery guest coming to see Peppa perform? Promoting communication, dress-up role play, puzzles and friendship, Peppa’s first pantomime experience is just the ticket… (Oh, yes it is!) Six envelopes, all integrated within the book, open up to reveal a fabulous selection of items specially designed to be enjoyed…

    How to make a Peppa Pig nose

    June 28, 2014 - By 

    As a mum of two pre-schoolers it’s fair to say we watch a lot of Peppa Pig. My children adore Peppa and Little Sis has all the Peppa Pig playsets, clothes, cutlery and story books she can get her hands on. Nick Jr. is one of their favourite channels and Little Sis gets quite upset when the adverts get in the way of watching her beloved episodes of Peppa! Luckily for her Nick Jr. is gearing up for a month of Peppa Pig celebrations. This July will mark 10 years since the nation’s favourite pig was first broadcast on Nick…

    Pretty in pink

    January 7, 2014 - By 

    My 2 year old daughter absolutely adores pink. Try as I might (and I’ve tried pretty hard) I can’t do anything about it. So I’ve decided to just let her get on with it, fingers crossed she’ll grow out of it one day. Just before Christmas Big Game hunters sent her the Twinkle Tower from Le Toy Van to review, one of many toy castles and houses they sell. It was pink. Building toys is not my strong point so I was pretty pleased that the Twinkle Tower came straight out of the box and could be played with immediately.…

    Day Zero – Month 27 (December)

    December 31, 2012 - By 

    You know the drill. On the 19 September 2010 I started a Day Zero list: a place to record goals, discover new challenges, and gain motivation to achieve them. I made a list of 100 things I want to do over 1001 days. The list is due to be competed by 16 June 2013. In the last couple of weeks I have 5.     Read at least one book every month for 12 months It’s taken downloading the Kindle app on my iPad Mini to finally get back into reading. That probably sounds a little bit silly but I don’t feel…

    Muddy Puddles!

    December 16, 2012 - By 

    It’s been a long time coming but I finally got the toddler to jump in a puddle! Endless episodes of Peppa Pig (who loves to jump in puddles) and talking about how it would be great to jump in puddles *if* we had wellies on, the toddler finally decided to jump in a puddle. The only problem of course, was that he was wearing shoes! He refused to wear his latest pair of wellies so when Barratts got in touch asking if we’d like to review a pair of kids shoes or kids wellies I jumped at the chance. Barratts…

    Counting down (and Peppa Pig biscuits)

    November 9, 2012 - By 

    We’re currently counting down until Little Sis’ first birthday. I’m not sure where the year has gone, it’s been fun but not without it’s difficulties. Her cheeky little smile seems to have got me through the worst of the sleepless nights and days of screaming. Yes, my child is not perfect and has only just started sleeping through without waking! So far, the handmade birthday card has been sent in to CBeebies, 6 weeks early as requested. We’ve had a dry run with making Peppa Pig biscuits. The final version were flooded with pink icing but I forgot to photograph…
