The Homework Box
Homework is a dreaded time in our house…I’m guessing most houses actually. Personally, I think homework should be done away with but that’s a rant for another day 😉 So a few months ago I was contacted by The Homework Box to try out their product. As you can probably guess it is a box

WIN a Kite Flyer Finn doll from Lottie Dolls
We are big fans of Lottie dolls in our house, even the boys, so when we were asked to be Lottie Doll Brand Ambassadors over the Summer we were delighted. I’ve written about them before here.

Christmas Shopping for a Baby Under 6 Months is Tough!
Since I have a very young baby this Christmas I’ve been thinking a lot about a present for him. It’s actually pretty hard to buy for babies under 6 months, something I never really had to do with my other 3 kids as they were big enough to play with proper toys. And sure, yes,

Freddy Buttons Food Adventure Books – Review & Competition
I’ve been trying to get my 2 year old more interested in books and letting me read to her. See, she rarely sits and engages when I’m reading to the older ones. She normally starts flicking the pages before I’ve read it and flings the book across the room much to the annoyance of the

Pip & Pear Chilled Baby Food
I love knowing exactly what I’m feeding my kids so have been cutting back on packaged foods for us all. It was only recently I found out that jars of food like cow and gate that have a long shelf life are boiled and processed so much that by the time they are finished with
