    Crate Creatures Surprise from MGA Entertainment

    August 7, 2018 - By 

    Some toys I read about and just know that one or both of my children will love them. That’s exactly what I thought when I first heard about Crate Creatures Surprise from MGA Entertainment. With a grizzly exterior of ferocious fuzz, squirting snot, glowing eyes and growling noises, they’re big softies really. The four Crate Creatures Surprise are itching to meet you, if only you can help them escape… Crate Creatures Surprise from MGA Entertainment There are 4 Crate Creatures Surprise to collect. We received Snorthog to unbox at home. They arrive captured in a crate and are currently landing in a toy…

    Celebrating our Incredible family {with the Disney Store}

    August 3, 2018 - By 

    I don’t know about you but I’m beginning to feel that I really need to draw on my supermum powers over the holidays. I love spending time with my children whilst they are young, and am so happy to have found a job which fits round their holidays. However, it can be pretty tiring planning days out in London, organising play dates, clearing up after their playing time as well as keeping on top of my blog. Yesterday was another hot day. We’re keeping little lists of all the things we want to do (to make sure we do them!)…

    Are you surviving the school holidays so far? They are flying by for us and we have been having lots of adventures. We recently had a few nights away so I made sure to pack a selection of travel games to keep the children busy. Our little family loves board games so we were delighted to be sent a selection of John Adam travel games to try out. We have a few favourite travel games. We don’t use them just for holidays though, I usually slip one in my handbag when we go out for dinner, to the pub, or…

    Bandai has taken two of the hottest trends and combined them into one fun plush collection called Poo-nicorns. We were sent a selection for the children to review.

These characters come in a variety of affordable plush ranging from 9cm Plushies Palz with a carabiner clip to add to bags or keyrings, to 40cm Puffiez Pillows. All are complete…

    Disney Pixar Incredibles 2 toys from Jakks Pacific

    July 14, 2018 - By 

    Can you believe that it’s 14 years since we were first introduced to The incredibles? I’ve always been a huge fan of Pixar films and enjoyed watching this when it first came out, and re-watching it with my children last week. Disney Pixar’s The Incredibles Bob Parr (A.K.A. Mr. Incredible), and his wife Helen (A.K.A. Elastigirl), are the world’s greatest famous crime-fighting superheroes in Metroville. Always saving lives and battling evil on a daily basis. But fifteen years later, they have been forced to adopt civilian identities and retreat to the suburbs and live a normal life with their three…
