Things we’re looking forward to in August 2018
We’re already a couple of weeks through the school holidays and the kids have started to say the “B” word. Unless they can site watching Youtube for the remainder of the holidays. Abigail has started memorise the Netflix catalog, while Imogen is just watching people making slime, poking slime and then mixing lots of different slimes together. […]

Booking a £2000 holiday to Florida in the Summer School Holidays
I had a theory and I did some research and there was a chance it would be possible. As a family we love Orlando and Florida, there is something addictive about the country. Is it simply the sunshine and happy holiday feelings? It’s got to be more than that as you’d get the same in Spain. Maybe […]

Puppy Dog Pals Toys
Last Christmas we introduced two little tiny dwarf hamsters into our family. Two adorable little balls of fluff. We never really knew that over the following few months we’d find out that they have two different personalities. The Hoopster Hamsters (when no one is looking) are seriously training for something! We received a bundle of Puppy Dog Pals […]

Stikbot Farm Movie Set Review
We’d seen Stikbot in various forms in the shops and knew the concept of the product. For anyone who isn’t familiar with it, Stikbot is a posable figure for creating stop motion animation. It is possible to create stop motion with normal toys. Stikbot has the addition of suction cups to its hands and feet, […]

Gel A Peel Fuzzy Kit Review
We’d seen these on display the last time we were in Toys R Us. Both Abigail and Imogen thought they looked fun and crafty. Then fast forward to the beginning of May when we were at a Blogging conference, where we met the PR company for Gel-A-Peel. We asked if it would be possible to review […]
