Tummy Ache By Orchard Toys! Tummy Ache by Orchard Toys is 35 years old! Children have been playing this form family favourite for over 3 decades and it’s still going strong because the winning formula doesn’t require anything more than children. No tech, no flashing lights and batteries, it’s just a simple formula (but special) and really taps into the mind’s of little ones. Recommended for ages 3 to 7 we have proved them a little wrong by adding a […]
SponTUNEous! Another day, another potential game to be played around our table this Christmas and this time it’s SponTUNEous which can be picked up in Argos for £25! The playing time is about 30 minutes, you can have 3 to 10 players and it’s pretty hilariously tune-less whether you’re a singer or not. The desire to win takes over and any talent you could direct its way is absolutely unnecessary which is pretty good if you’re not a singer, it […]
Mechanics Challenge Strike By Geomags! Geomags have always tapped really well into Jimmy’s interests; he’s naturally interested in construction, engineering and maths and so the combination of all of those things combined in one toy have been the appeal. Even as a tiny, tiny boy he was so inclined to lay on the floor at the top of the BT tower watching the mechanics of it rotate us, rather than joining in with the party that we were there for. […]

Lucky old us and we’ve been given the chance to try out three new one =s from Big Potato Games ahead of Chrimbo this […]
Christmas Cocktails With Kingsland Drinks Prosecco! I love Prosecco, possibly more than Champagne would you believe. With the exception of one particular brand I find I can’t drink too much Champagne whereas with Prosecco, well… Let’s say I can! That’s not to say I should, well not TOO much at least, a little bit of what you fancy definitely does you good! And I usually fancy a Prosecco while I also love nothing more than adding flavours to make fizz […]

Little Belle Night Lights! When I had Florence we lived in a tiny flat which only had two bedrooms. It was a bit of a squash and a squeeze when she was born as the second bedroom was actually Jonny’s music room and have to be subdivided to make way for our baby girl. I did not enjoy having pictures of The Beatles on her walls anymore than I liked the fact the guitars, amplifiers and other musical accoutrements lived […]
Wroxham Barns Pumpkin Festival 2022! If you’ve not been to Wroxham Barns over Halloween half term then you don’t know what you’re missing! It’s a fantastic school holiday day out with all the fun of the farm and fairground rides (which are always included in the price of your ticket – all incl, that’s what we like) but with added extras just for the season and this year is set to be bigger and better than ever before with their […]
Roarr! For The Holidays! It was Raffie’s 5th birthday over the weekend and for another year running he wanted to go to Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure to celebrate. I think it really is his most favourite place in the world and it doesn’t matter how many times we go, he always wants to see the Dippy Show, in the theatre, over anything else. This visit he also got to go and meet and greet with Dippy which was the icing on […]
