I’ve posted before about Geronimo – the brand new kids festival in Cheshire for 2015. With the festival organisers adding more and more to the line up all the time it’s set to be a truly fantastic event for all and I genuinely can’t wait to take the boys there. To recap, this is what …
#WIN A Sooty ABC DVD
Sooty seems to be an utterly timeless character. He was around when I was learning my ABCs and he’s around now that Rowan is learning his. The difference between then and now though is that I didn’t have an educational, fun and exciting DVD to watch, full of cute mischievous puppets. Preschoolers can now learn …
The Penguin Lapbook Project
Rowan has been showing a keen interest in penguins lately so I thought something penguin-related at home would be fun for us to do together. My first port of call is always the Twinkl website because I know that if something isn’t on there, I probably don’t need it. There isn’t a week goes by …
Review: Worm World by Interplay
The boys were really excited to receive Interplay’s Worm World to review last week. We received the kit first, and had to order and wait for the actual worms so it’s been a long few days for them. Every day after school I’ve been greeted with ‘Are they here yet?’ Well today, the answer was …
World Book Day 2015
This year was the first year that Louis and Rowan have taken part in World Book Day and since I really felt that they’d missed out before, I vowed to make their costumes good ones. I asked the boys what they wanted to be, but I wasn’t prepared for their answers! Rowan immediately declared his …
Review: Shaken Udder Milkshakes
When Shaken Udder Milkshakes asked us if we’d like to taste their milkshakes I did a little research into their ingredients lists. Thankfully, they’re not keen on beastly sweeteners either and so I agreed for the boys to try them out. Shaken Udder Milkshakes come in three kids flavours; Strawberry, Chocolate and Banana. We received …
Review: Leap Frog Learning Friends Play & Discover School Set
We have been fortunate enough to receive a Play and Discover School Set from Leap Frog Learning Friends. Rowan started school at quite a young age when he was four years and three weeks old, and I was really concerned about how he would manage. I worried about the academic side of things being too …
How to make rock bugs
Last week I took the boys down to a nearby country park after school. Due to the fact that I’m not at all organised they ended up getting muddy in their school uniforms but I’m pretty sure the recklessness of it all made the outing all the more fun. As we arrived it started to …
Wild camping: would you?
I love camping, yes. I’m not sure though that I’d be comfortable doing any wild camping. It’s just that for me, I worry a lot. I worry that someone will steal our belongings if we leave the tent, I worry that the police will come along and tell us we’re not allowed to be …
The Police Museum and Pretend Play
There is a Police Museum in Manchester that only opens on a Tuesday. It only opens until 3pm on a Tuesday too, so there’s no visiting after school. This week we’re on half term, I have the boys (I don’t always have them on a Tuesday) and we were at a loose end so we …
