Ordinarily I would not be overjoyed to receive two very large packages of stuff when I am trying to reduce the amount of stuff we have ahead of a house move but it was the first week of our school holidays and these boxes contained Fisher Price Little People: the Little People® Disney® Princess Songs Palace and the Little People® Happy Sounds Home™ to be exact, and they made me very happy indeed. And my children of course. In the past we have … [Read more...]
Hawaiian Leis, swimsuits and Teen Beach Movie
A few weeks ago I was invited to review the music for Teen Beach Movie, which premiered on the Disney Channel last night. It's everything you'd expect from a Disney Movie. If you are fan of Eminem or Radio 6 then it's unlikely to be your thing. But we are fans of High School Musical, Now That's What I Call Music and One Direction so this was right up our street. The music is perky, it's upbeat, it's catchy. It's redolent of the Cliff Richard … [Read more...]
Washing Up Liquid or Dish Soap Activities with Ecover
Ecover asked me if I wanted to test out some of their products after seeing my New Home Wreath and I was happy to say yes: what home doesn't need cleaning products? DH was skeptical when I handed him the household wipes the other day- asking if he would need half-a-packet to clean up a small mess. He made reference to when we last used Ecover about ten years ago. He ate his words- though not the wipe- since the wipes were more than able to clean … [Read more...]
{Review} Jumping Bean Bag Club and our June Interest Table
That table in our hallway has a monthly theme. I haven't posted one for a while but it made sense to post this month's as we were sent a Jumping Bean Bag pack which inspired the theme of 'activity'- perfectly timed as the weather is glorious, and I hope that it lasts! So, on the table, which is covered in chalkboard paper and there are chalks for drawing- something we often do on the outside patio, so I wanted to bring a little of that … [Read more...]
Saturday Review
Fox's Caffe Snaps and Thins I came across the Fox's people in the Lounge at #britmumslive when I was searching out a coffee. I tested one of these beauties and was hooked, so was delighted to find a packet or two in my goody bag. Designed for dunking, and specifically with coffee-drinkers (ie: me) in mind, these crisp little half-moons make every mouthful taste of caramel- or hazelnut- macchiato. What's not to love? The strong flavour of the … [Read more...]
My sponsors for #BritMumsLive
I just want to introduce my sponsors for BritMums Live this year. I've never been before so am very excited and three people have contributed to make the weekend extra special. Diet Coke- with whom I have worked before - are very kindly covering my travel and accommodation costs. If you are attending BritMums Live this year, please stop by their stand and talk to them. They are all so lovely. As my life is fuelled by Diet Coke there is every … [Read more...]
{Review} 5 great products for swimming with children
LBG is currently learning to swim. At her request, we take her every Monday for a swimming lesson at one of our local swimming pools, and she spends half an hour in the water with her teacher whilst I watch- usually with tears in my eyes- her slow, steady progress from Non-swimmer to swimmer. DH and I also take both Girls swimming every weekend to build on what she has learned but also to continue to give her- and her sister- confidence in their … [Read more...]
