    Jungle Magic Sounds Aquadoodle

    Aquadoodles primary function is to enable children to have a fun place to draw and release their imagination but that is also mess free.  I’m sure we all know just how easy children can go from drawing in a book to drawing on the walls and making a mess. Aquadoodle combats this as there is no ink in the pen, it is just simply water and so will not leave marks on walls or flooring.  I have always been a fan of Aquadoodle because of this an this new one is no different. The Jungle Magic Sounds Aquadoodle has all the magic of the original Aquadoodle but also makes animal sounds…

    Happy Christmas Gift Bouquet from Bunches.co.uk

    Now usually I would be a bit sceptical about getting flowers delivered through the post. We all know just how much damage can happen sometimes to the boxes and things and so I imagined that flowers would end up a bit battered too.  We were sent the Happy Christmas Gift bouquet to review from Bunches.co.uk which was delivered to us last Friday. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it was a school training day and we wanted to get out for the day, we weren’t in and the flowers got sent back to the postal depot. I went to collect them on Saturday morning but being flowers I thought they would…

    Parenting Myths: Fact or Fiction?

    Over the years, I have heard many parenting myths and have probably adhered to some of them too which not only sound weird but probably are totally made up. Us as parents though, want to do right by our children and bring them up best as possible so when we hear these weird myths, we feel like we need to believe them ‘just in case’. I remember my grandma saying all sorts of weird things to me growing up about what I should and shouldn’t do and the consequences if I didn’t follow them. Just some of them are: If you eat your crusts you will get curly hair. Well…

    Funky Giraffe Christmas Bibs

    The baby accessories company, Funky Giraffe, have launched their latest exciting designs especially for Christmas. Gorgeous bandanna style bibs that cost £4 but, the more you buy, the cheaper they get and can come to as little as £2 per bib.  I was happy to see the reasonable prices and so looked into the company a bit more. Funky Giraffe was set up in 2009 by Yasmin Drury who, having worked for a major retailer, she realised just how much they marked up prices. As a mum, she knew that she wanted to produce funky designs at reasonable prices. And that’s exactly what they do. Make cute bibs that are reasonably…
