    Winnie The Pooh by TOMY

    Both Thomas and Charlie love watching cartoons on television and so having toys that are associated with the programmes are a big plus. Winnie the Pooh has been a family friend for years and both boys love it too. I find that it’s a great bedtime cartoon as it’s settling and helps the boys relax before bed. We were sent some of the new Winnie the Pooh range from TOMY to review that are great for young children, probably for ones aged around the same as Charlie. I couldn’t wait to get them out and get playing, for Charlie of course (I’m a big kid at heart). TOMY have always…

    Swings, Slides and Climbing Trees

    Bringing up children can be all money, money, money but it doesn’t have to be. You don’t need to pop to all these fancy play centres that charge a fortune to get into and in the gorgeous summer weather, why would you want to be stuck inside anyway?  Our local park is a small one but just the right size for the kids. It doesn’t get that busy and so many days when Thomas finishes nursery, we will pop up there for a bit and have a play. It’s a great place for the boys to run off a bit of their energy and just to have a play. With…

    AEG UltraCaptic Ucanimal – Specifications

    I love cleaning and so when were sent the AEG UltraCaptic Ucanimal to review, I couldn’t wait to try it out.  With powerful cleaning, easier emptying and an HEPA 13 allergy filter, I wanted to know whether it did really pick up better than any other I’ve used before.  My first post about the AEG UltraCaptic Ucanimal is it’s specification. All the things that have been improved or added to make it an exceptional cleaning tool for all flooring types. Even great for allergy sufferers and pet lovers. Compact & Go I love this new function, the Compact & Go, whereby you compact the dust before emptying it. This, in…

    Happy Fathers Day

    To Simon: I just want to say happy Fathers Day to you. You are a great dad to our 2 boys and we could not function properly without you. Always making sure the kids have everything and even losing out yourself to put them first.  To Dad: You have always been there when I, when we, needed you. Always putting all of your children first and making sacrifices to make sure that we never went without. You are, and always will be, the best Father in the world and I am so glad that I grew up with you as my dad. To every dad: Remember this day is about…

    YSL Rive Gauche From Fragrance Direct

    When I was asked if I wanted to review a perfume from Fragrance Direct, I was in 2 minds. Yes, every girl loves perfume and smelling nice but for me, it’s a bit hit and miss whether the scent will give me a blazing headache, leaving me ill. After a bit of thought, I decided to give it a try. After all, if it means getting to try a new product and seeing whether I can use it, then that must be a good thing, right? They agreed to send me Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Eau de Toilette Spray which comes in 100ml. YSL Rive Gauche is a vibrant perfume named after the…

    We’re All Going On A Summer Holiday

    With the summer holidays coming up, we’ve been trying to think of ways to fill the whole 6 weeks so the boys aren’t bored. It is very hard though. Yeah swimming, parks and going to museums can be great fun but not something you want to do every day. So we’ve kind of got our heart set on a nice last minute holiday to fill up the time.  Looking for holidays though is so much hard work though. Where do you go? Do you book private or go for a package holiday? Villa or hotel? The list goes on, and on, and on… The last holiday abroad that we went on was to…

    Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief

    Nearly everyone I speak to nowadays have suffered with sensitive teeth at some point. Apparently 18.6 million people across the UK suffer from sensitive teeth and one in three of us avoid certain foods to stop the pain and discomfort.  That’s where Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief comes in.  The exclusive Pro-Arginâ„¢ formula in Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief gives instant relief if the toothpaste is applied directly to a sensitive tooth for around a minute and long lasting protection overall. With regular brushing it will help to fight cavities, strengthen enamel, remove plaque and stains and freshens breath. I get sensitivity intermittently and it is very painful. I find that I often avoid eating cold foods as…

    Building the Tower of Blackpool

    When Tots 100 tweeted about an opportunity they had running with Visit Blackpool, I knew I just had to get involved. The premise was, to build a tower. It could be made from anythin and could be any size, it just needed to be based around Blackpool Tower.  So we set to work building a tower, our version of Blackpool Tower. After having a consultation chat with Thomas, we decided that we would base it on a circus theme. Stripes, slides etc and would make it from cardboard, this is mainly because I had just thrown a huge box outside which had Thomas’ trampoline in it.  We knew that glue would…
