Given that this week is National Breakfast Week, I thought it was quite appropriate to think about breakfast in our house…or out of our house. I’m a big believer in breakfast, even though I find I tend to eat more…
I wasn’t entirely sure about a picture book about The Election when I spotted the opportunity to review this book. I always think it’s a lot more interesting to have a fun book that’s a bit fantastical, but N does…
As I’ve said before N loves music. Most sorts, although he’ll turn his nose up at songs he’s previously liked, and then states he likes other music he previously didn’t like. The prerogative of 3 year olds. He must take…
Note to self…never assume the OH will play ball with timings for the purpose of review! I was offered the chance to review a Shock Doctor knee support and as the OH at the time had had a dodgy knee…

I think most parents remember fondly the books of Roald Dahl, and hope that their children will be interested in them when they’re old enough. I know my brother and I used to love The Twits, James and the Giant…
I class myself as a fairly savvy shopper, especially when it comes to books. But even though I keep a record of the books we have, I have found several times that we’ve ended up with duplicates. This is obviously…
I’ve been seeing Heroes of the City around a fair bit recently online, so when the offer to review a pack came up, I was interested to find out more. Heroes of the City was created in Sweden as a…
