When Florence was tiny we bought her a Miss Zoggy Bobin swim jacket from Zoggs. It has 8 floats in idividual pockets and has been brilliant for helping her learn to swim. You can remove floats as they get more confident and Florence still wears it even now sometimes although she can actually swim without it. It just makes her feel that bit more secure when swimming out of her depth or comfort zone in a new pool and it […]
During the summer holidays the children and I were invited to a premiere screening of Fireman Sam’s latest big screen foray, ‘Fireman Sam – Heroes Of The Storm’. We couldn’t make it as we were on holiday so the lovely folks who extended the invitation decided to send us the movie on DVD along with a pretty special Fireman Sam helmet toy to make up for it! Are’t we lucky! The DVD is just the ticket for the weather right […]
This week has been a little bit better than last. I’m getting used to be on my own during the week but am still exhausted come Friday and very ready for Jonny to come home and give me a bit of a break! This weekend my Mum is coming with him as Jonny and I are off the the theatre tomorrow to see Memphis and then out for dinner. We’ve also got our open day tomorrow when troops of people […]

I think it was horses that we had first with our Schleich collection and over the years they’ve been added to with more of the same, a dinosaur here and there and a whole host of gorgeous zoo animals. Jimmy loves them and despite having a tendency to turn his toys into weapons (something a medium sized Schleich animal could prove rather nasty with) he’s actually only played really lovely games with his. It’s true that sometimes Jimmy will have […]
Do you remember a while back I wrote about The Treehouse at Number 9? It’s a free musical e-book about a gang of friends, The Genies, who all have differences in their abilities. It’s written by Sara jackson who devised the concept at the time when she had a two year old and a baby sone who had just been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. The app is completely free because Sara and her friend Karen, who illustrates the stories, […]
We’ve long been fans of the Monster High doll range by Mattel and over time, as we’ve collected more and more, we’ve become very familiar with all the characters. There’s the original ghouls like ‘Draculaura’ (our favourite), Ghouls, Fright-Mares… Even Mansters (we really want a Manster) and they all kind of mix in with other ranges. Recently we’ve discovered the Freak Du Chic range of Monster High pals! The Freak Du Chic circus has arrived to Monster High and each […]

I’d not heard of ‘Ever After High’ until last week when we were sent one of the dolls to review but I was quickly brought up to speed by Florence who is well versed in the Netflix show it seems and knew all about the dolls too. The children of famous fairy tale characters all go to a boarding high school together (Ever After High) and follow in their parents footsteps with stories of their own along the way but […]
Well it’s been a whole week since the summer holidays ended for us and being back to our regular routine has been even harder than I thought. With Jonny working in Norwich all week I am on my own and living the life of a single parent. It just isn’t fun at all. It seems like it’s been a constant round of making food, tidying up, washing, cleaning, making more food, doing more tidying, bed time routines, getting people dressed, […]
