We have been part of the friend of Sylvanian Families for a little while now. My girls have built up a great little collection of play sets which they absolutely love. It is great for me to watch them set up their own little Sylvanian town and see their imaginations in full force as they have a food fight in the bakery or wiz up some magical ice cream recipes in their new Ice Cream Shop. I just love all the detail with these play sets from the mini spoons to the teeny ice cream cones, they looks so cute! The set…

That is exactly what we did. The obstacles varied in difficulty, there were a couple Lottie couldn’t really do but on the whole…

I have always been a little bit rubbish at being the ‘let’s go walking in the rain and embrace the frost’ kind of mum. I prefer to enjoy a hot chocolate buried under a blanket or 5. However with three children that are full of endless amounts of energy this isn’t possible. They need to get out, they need to run off some energy and explore their surroundings…
As a busy, working mum to three over the last year the childcare of my three daughters has become an issue that is on my mind a lot. I work from home and often have to be available to travel or attend events in the evenings sometimes at quite short notice.
