My girls love to draw, colour and create. They’re always scribbling on something and the amount of scrap paper I seem to find daily just left on the table is insane. DoodleJamz have changed all of that with their mess-free drawing pads that can be used over and over again. No more messy scraps of paper everywhere WAHOO! So what is DoodleJamz? DoodleJamz are a squish & shape, sensory, mess-free drawing pad filled with safe, non- toxic gel or beads. These can then be drawn on or moulded into endless fantastic creations. They come with a stylus or you can simply use…
Pom Pops combine two of my girls favourite things. Unboxing surprises and craft activities! It’s a really unique idea that combines the two things together perfectly. The whole unboxing surprises has been huge for a couple of years now. My girls love anything that involves unwrapping and opening. It can make even the most simple of toys so much more of a fun experience for them. Pom Pops have taken it up a notch with their unique concept that gets the kids to unbox and then discover the surprise materials which then allows them to make their own special ‘popped’…
When you become a parent your priorities (quite rightly) shift. It’s not just about looking after yourself anymore. You now have a child, or children that you have to look after too. Of corse in our first thoughts when preparing for a baby it’s all about keeping them fed, clean, safe and happy.

As the girls get older I am finding the ‘what shall we do in the holidays’ tougher and tougher to answer. At ages, 11,10&8 it’s so hard to find things they all enjoy. When they were younger we used to have bucket lists created weeks in advanced full of parks we wanted to visit, farm days and soft play trips plus playdates with friends filling all of our weeks to the brim. It just isn’t like that anymore; if I suggest a park I am told it’s for ‘babies’. Soft play is off the cards and catch ups with friends is…
I don’t know about you but when I was younger YoYo’s were all the rage at school. The playground was absolutely full of them (until they got banned by the headteacher!). They were the biggest craze to hit our primary school since Pokémon cards hit the scene. You’d see neon light up YoYo’s, YoYo’s that made noises, some children even had ‘pro’ YoYo’s. Whilst I don’t really know what this YoYo actually did differently to make it classed as ‘pro’ but at the time it seemed pretty cool. The one thing I did know was; I was bloody rubbish at…
