Parenting and the Evolution of Learning

Posted on March 14, 2017November 6, 2022 by jenny

My son turns 7 on Saturday which I’m sure you can imagine, he is very excited about. He’s a really easy-going boy and actually didn’t have any huge demands for his birthday. For the last few years he’s had an Amazon wish-list but it’s strangely empty at the moment. Don’t worry – he will have…

Win a family ticket to Bletchley Park with Intel Security

Posted on February 2, 2016August 30, 2022 by jenny

I have tech savvy children. Yes, at the grand old ages of 4 and 5 they already seem far more confident than I am with a laptop and technology in general. I think this can only be a good thing and I am keen to teach them good habits and the importance of safety online….

A couple of weeks ago I told you about the Asus Reco Classic Car Cam which we were sent to review. Since then we’ve been on a few long road trips which have given us the perfect opportunity to really try it out. My husband drives a lot. He loves his car and always has…

The Haunting of Bagger Bones

Posted on October 31, 2015January 23, 2018 by jenny

The children have worn their skeleton onesies all day long, we watched scary films, eaten spooky treats  and are gearing up for a little Halloween party with more ghoulish food. The Haunting Of Bagger Bones is a frighteningly clever story app for kids. A…

Win a copy of The Twits and House of Twits review

Posted on October 31, 2015July 8, 2016 by jenny

It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of Roald Dahl. I’ve been reading his books with my 5 year old and working our way through Roald Dahl’s Completely Revolting Recipes book too. So far our favourite has been The Twits, my son loved the tricks they play on each other and we even cooked the Wormy…

Play Spiderman and the Avengers games with Marvel Kids UK

Posted on September 30, 2015October 5, 2021 by jenny

My children love the warmer months when they can play outside after school. When Autumn comes we often turn to other pursuits to amuse ourselves. I try to give my children a good balance between reading, crafting and the screen time they so desperately crave 🙂 My 5 year really enjoys discovering new games, especially…

What I’m reading: Dress Your Tech

Posted on August 20, 2015August 18, 2018 by jenny

These days I’m surrounded by tech. I don’t go anywhere without my iPhone, I also have an iPad Mini and use a MacBook Air at home. My husband has the same items so we’re always looking for ways to identify them so we know who owns what. This week a new book was published –…

The Gameband+Minecraft  lets you play Minecraft anywhere, anytime and on any computer. This is the world’s first Minecraft wearable and is more than just…
