One of the things I love most about being a mum is experiencing all of the firsts with each child. I feel so proud to see them learning new things, and mastering new skills, over coming obstacles and developing into fantastic little people. My youngest, N, is constantly picking up new things at the moment […]
The Cake Shed is a 1000 piece puzzle from Ravensburger, which is part of the My Haven series. This set of puzzles focuses on pictures of hobby sheds, from the craft shed, to the pottery shed, sewing shed, man cave, and of course the Cake Shed. I’ve previously reviewed the Craft Shed puzzle from the […]
ROLLPLAY has revealed Nighthawk – a thrilling new sit, slide and glide ride for preteens. We were lucky to be sent a Nighthawk to review and it immediately appealed to my boys (ages 10, 8 and 7), who couldn’t wait to try it out. Nighthawk is electric powered, running on a 12V battery which can be charged over night and is controlled […]

We were sent the Big Steps Vroom Super Car Transporter to […]
Once children start getting older and hitting the tween years, it can be harder to find the right toys and games to keep them engaged. We were sent the Robomaker set from Clementoni which is recommended for age 10+ and it is a brilliant project to keep older kids busy and entertained, and even learning […]
We’ve been working with the Blogger Board Game Club from Asmodee Games to review a selection of games, and the one which I had been most excited to try out is Pandemic. Pandemic is a game that’s suitable for ages 8 and up, but my husband and I decided to play it by ourselves which […]
