Disney Dumbo Flapping Ears |Review|

Dumbo is back! 2019 is bringing a remake of this iconic film back to our screens this month and I can’t wait to see it with the kids. Dumbo was one of my favourite childhood films and I can’t believe I have never watched it with my girls! I used to watch it over and over again and each time it would make me cry. We were recently sent the new Dumbo Flapping Ears Plush to celebrate the up and coming new film and this little cutie arrived.. The girls couldn’t wait to play with Dumbo. The soft plush is high… View Post

Communicating with your child’s school

“How was school?” I ask. “Fine” Reply the girls in unison. “Oh good, what did you get up to?” “Nothing.” The end. Does this sound familiar? A recent survey found 93% of parents would like to know more about what happens in their children’s classroom.

I think I’d have to choose… View Post

There is something about sorting through and getting a big bag delivered to the charity shop that fills me with joy. However as I went through the kitchen I was actually really gutted to see just how much food I had that was going to waste, things that had missed their use by date or that I… View Post

Family Game Night With 5 Second Rule |Competition|

The girls and I love a good games night. An evening with no screens, no youtube. Just us, a big bowl of popcorn and a good game. We were recently sent the game ‘5 Second Rule‘ which called for an immediate family game night. 5 Second Rule is aimed at those 8+ but although Bella and Lottie are only 7 & 5 we still had great fun, they did require a little help but I would say if you work in teams little ones will also have great fun with this board game too. The concept of the game is… View Post
