With the gorgeous sunshine upon us last week and knowing it wouldn’t last we decided to fit in day at the beach – probably the last opportunity we would have this year. Having decided to descend upon Bigbury on Sea we set off early with Miss M and Mister B no knowledge of where we …
Something Special – Mr Tumble Toys
One of the first programmes Miss M ever started to watch was Something Special. Being primarily a programme for special needs children using the Makaton sign and symbol language at first I was unsure of the appeal but she was totally transfixed by Mr Tumble and I soon learnt of his widespread appeal among young …
Bizzybee Cleaning Cloths & Gloves – Review
When I received some bizzybee cleaning products to try out for Mummy News I knew they would be useful as having two little ones in the house we are constantly cleaning up after them and without a dishwasher we do the washing up by hand. But what I particularly loved about the bizzybee products was how …
Miss M starts school!!
So the last 4 years and 8 months has flown by and now my little baby Miss M has become Miss M the little school girl!!! This time in her life always seemed so far away, but the first day of school arrived this week and Miss M was so excited. She is always keen …
Monster Catcher by Orchard Toys – Review
The first thing that struck me when opening the Monster Catcher game from Orchard Toys were the brightly coloured picture cards. They are really appealing to any little ones and 4 yr old Miss M loved them. I think monsters are quite a neutral theme appealing to both boys and girls. What I loved about …
A quick trip to London to collect Miss M!!
I’ve missed Miss M dearly over the last week while she’s spent time with her grandparents in Kent – a rare break for me with having no family down in Devon, but a great opportunity for her to experience new and exciting things and spend quality time with family. And as expected there have been …
Robinsons Fruit Shoot Smencils – Review
I think nearly all children love to draw, write and colour so Smencils – the new gourmet scented pencils from Learning Resources were sure to be a hit with Miss M when we received a pack to try. The amazing thing with these pencils is not only their scent but the fact that they are …
The Sooty Show DVD – Review
With the release of the new “The Sooty Show” DVD this week, it brought back many childhood memories of sitting watching endless episodes of Sooty with my brother. I didn’t realise until now that The Sooty Show is the longest running children’s programme on tv celebrating 60 years this year!! Abbey Kids Media kindly sent …
A lucky Black Cat for Halloween?
One thing all children love to do is dress up – so when I was offered to pick a Halloween costume from the selection at Joker’s Masquerade, I knew 4 year old Miss M would be thrilled. They have an extensive choice of Halloween outfits to choose from including Skeletons, Vampires, Zombies, Witches and Ghosts. …
Wenlock – London 2012 Mascot
With the London 2012 Olympics in full flow, I was keen to ensure my 2 young children watched and learnt a bit about it even if it was just a few new sports that they learned about. Miss M was keen to watch the gymnastics and trampolining as she currently has lessons in both of …
