Paddington Movie Soft Toy

As a little girl, I can remember one of my class teachers reading us the stories of Paddington bear.  Although the book she read from only had a handful of illustrations we knew all about Paddington’s red hat blue duffel coat.  With her describing the little bear from deepest, darkest Peru.

The Paddington movies in recent years have reignited my fondness for the little brown bear.  With the children loving the films which are full of fun, adventure and lots of giggles!… View Post

VARTA My Power Bank

VARTA My Power Bank

Whilst at Blog On Xmas last year I discovered VARTA, who besides having an amazing selection of batteries, produce power banks perfect for charging needs on the go.  A lightbulb moment when I realise that this could be the solution to Roo’s constant state of ‘I forgot to charge my phone again’.  We were kindly sent the VARTA My Power Bank recently to see if this would ease our charging problems.… View Post

No job is too big, no pup is …

No job is too big, no pup is too small for the Mission PAW pups!

PAW Patrol has a funny effect on the children in my house.  Piglet, of course, goes running to the TV and starts shouting out all the character names (she can’t say many words but funnily enough has managed to learn the PAW Patrol pups names!).  Whilst Roo and Tigger, do a little groan about having to watch it.  Although once the theme tune has finished you can find them glued to the screen as much as Piglet.… View Post

Vorwerk Kobold VK200 customising your cleaning experience

Vorwerk Kobold VK200 customising your cleaning experience

A couple of months ago Vorwerk contacted me to see whether I’d like to put the Kobold VK200 Cleaning System to the test.  Stating that I would find vacuuming easier, enjoyable and most importantly I’d notice how much cleaner my carpets were.  With three children in the house (especially the muck monkey also known as Piglet) I need all the help I can get with cleaning especially vacuuming.  Piglet spends a large portion of the day playing on the floors around out the house so I want them to be as clean as possible.… View Post

Top tips for an organised New Year

Top tips for an organised New Year

Having worked for many years in administration I like to think of myself as an organised person.  That was until 2017 happened and I dropped the organisational ball somewhat.  Especially since the children returned to school following the summer holidays.  You’d think that the ability to return to a routine would have helped me pick up the slack.  Instead, I ended up in a downward spiral until we hit Christmas.  Determined to start afresh with the New Year I have gathered a few top tips for an organised New Year to share with you.… View Post

Have yourself a Trolls Holiday

Have yourself a Trolls Holiday

Last year we welcomed Trolls into our lives.  We were very lucky to be invited to the Trolls BFI Gala Screening – which was simply amazing!  This was Piglet’s first visit to the cinema, which she thankfully enjoyed due to the bold colours, amazing soundtrack and a packet of Wotsits.  Fast forward to this year and we had downloaded the film onto our Sky box (yes I am too lazy to keep putting the DVDs in and out of the DVD player) for us to watch one weekend.  The Trolls movie is a hit with all of us, but none more so that Piglet… Oh, my goodness, how she loves that film and Princess Poppy.… View Post

Transformers The Last Knight RC Bumblebee

Transformers The Last Knight RC Bumblebee

Shortly after we moved to our new house we found a bright orange car that looked like one of the cars from Transformers.  We would joke that it was resting up after a busy night out fighting the Decepticons as it was always there on the morning school run in the same place.  So you can imagine the delight on Tigger’s face when he came home to find the Transformers The Last Knight RC Bumblebee car sitting waiting for him…

Bumblebee is Optimus Primes most trusted ally. Now it’s up to you and Bumblebee to save the world from the evil Decepticons.… View Post
