    Star Wars Junior ReadyBed® Review

    April 19, 2015 /

    Star Wars Junior ReadyBed® Review Over the Easter Holidays we were delighted to review the new Star Wars Junior ReadyBed! We had recently used one of these while visiting friends in the UK and had thought that it was such a great idea – a blow up mattress and sleeping bag in one!. In case you are not familiar, ReadyBed® “is the original all-in-one sleeping bag and bed that has got quick comfort covered. ReadyBed®’s effortless inflation takes you from bag to bedtime in a flash, and its handy carry case mean high-quality, hassle-free sleep is always at your fingertips.” What is a Star Wars Junior ReadyBed® This all-in-one bedtime…

    Letters from Santa (review and GIVEAWAY!)

    November 25, 2014 /

    A couple of weeks ago I was intrigued to find that “Letters from Santa” had started following me on Pinterest.  As I am slightly obsessed with Christmas I had to investigate further!  I was so excited to find a Pinterest account full of amazing Christmas ideas and resources (I highly recommend that you check Letters from Santa out on Pinterest) and when I clicked through to the website I was delighted to find myself on the site of the company we had actually used last year to create letters from Santa for our children.  Then, last week, Cheryl from Letters from Santa emailed me and asked would I be interested…

    Super Hero Lottie Doll Review – Girls can be superheroes too! My little girl Oodles (3) and I are Lottie Doll Ambassadors and we recently received our latest exciting delivery from LOTTIE HQ! So, today we will be sharing with you our thoughts on Super Lottie!   Super Lottie was launched in October 2014  – the first of a kind – a girl superhero doll, designed by a child for children.  So what’s so special about Super Lottie?  Well, as I said she was designed by a little girl, six year old Lily from Ohio, USA who created the winning design as part of a global competition, independently judged by…

    Lottie Doll Review (and Giveaway!)

    September 14, 2014 /

    We were so excited to be accepted as a Lottie Doll brand ambassador and even more excited when the Pandora’s Box Lottie Doll arrived in the post last week.  Oodles (almost 3) loves to play with dolls and she has not left this little treasure out of her hand since it arrived.  We also have 2 dolls and accessories to giveaway to our readers, more about that below!!! What is a Lottie Doll? If like me, you think that many dolls available are inappropriate both in shape and appearance for young children then Lottie is for you! Lottie first appeared on the market in 2012 as the first ever “pro-girl”…

    Clay Autumn Leaves – Fall Crafts for Kids

    August 24, 2014 /

    Clay Autumn Leaves – a great, simple Fall craft for all ages.  It’s amazing what you can make with a little clay, glue and glitter! Disclosure: I received the clay used in this activity from ArtMaterialsCo.com as a free sample in return for a fair and honest review.  All thoughts are my own. I often get my inspiration for our craft and art activities from the materials themselves and when this pack of clay arrived in the post the beautiful rich colour of it immediately made me think of all the lovely autumn activities we had been doing over the past few weeks.  We have spent a lot of time…
