Go Karting fun!

You may remember a while ago we wrote a blog post in the hope of being picked as an Activity Toys Direct Ambassador. We were so pleased to have been chosen as one of ten bloggers who will be doing reviews, hosting competitions and lots more in partnership with Activity Toys Direct. What...

My fabulous blogging boys

Around this time last year, we bought our son, who was 6 years old at the time, a very unusual Christmas present. We got him his own domain name www.TheBrilliantChef.co.uk as a little corner of the internet where he could write-up his favourite recipes and write about his cheffing...

A Slow Toy Christmas with The Toadstool

Whilst we are still technically on our Christmas break from blogging we couldn't resist sharing our Slow Toy Christmas with our wonderful toys from The Toadstool. In case you hadn't noticed the Toadtest badge on our sidebar recently, we were absolutely thrilled to have been...

Trying to take a Christmas break!

Just a quick blog post this evening to say that we are going to be (trying to) take a bit of a break from blogging over Christmas and just wanted to wish everyone a very wonderful Christmas and new year! So if you see many new blog posts popping up or catch us doing too much on...

Makie Doll - part 2 - it arrives!

D was asked to review a makie doll on his blog but we thought it would be good to share his video review here too. A few weeks ago he was sent a Makie's gift card which arrives in a gift box and you scratch off the code and design your own doll either using the Makies app or on the Makie website. The Makie dolls are a new unique concept in dolls as you design your own...

Christmas time is chocolate time

One of the perks of the Christmas season is letting the diet go out the window for a while and enjoying a few special treats to eat. So when Hotel Chocolat asked us which of their Christmas products we'd like to try, it was 'The Signature Christmas Collection' selection box that...

Miss T at 20 months old

Last Wednesday Miss T turned 20 months old. As I look at her I wonder where those 20 months have flown by to and as always I am amazed at just how much and how quickly babies and toddlers develop. I usually list a few new words that she's learnt each month - but this month...

'Mummy, how come we don't get to spend much time together anymore?'

That's what my seven year old son said to me yesterday. And he was right. Since he started school after several years of home-schooling, there just doesn't seem to be enough time after school or at weekends to spend any kind of quality time together. We've tried fitting in a...

Fairytales do come true

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful baby girl. Her family adored her. She was just like a little princess to them. When she was nearly 20 months old she went on a special holiday with her mum, dad, and family to Denmark. And because it was December, she took with her her warm...

GIVEAWAY: Duck Tape Colours

This rose was made with Duck Tape Colours and now you can win some of your own! You may remember a little while ago we were sent some fabulous rolls of colourful Duck Tape to use for crafts. We were amazed by just what could be done with Duck Tape! You can see the full post about...

Katsuma Unleashed DS game review

Normally when the kids help with reviews, we usually edit their posts slightly correcting typos and perhaps adding or removing bits to make sure it makes sense, but I was SO impressed with J's review of Katsuma Unleashed, that here it is exactly as he wrote it! Turns out he couldn't...

Christmas is Cancelled - My Perfect Christmas Day

Sounds easy enough doesn't it. Just describe your perfect Christmas Day. A bunch of presents, beautifully wrapped. A terrific feast of turkey and trimmings. A big box of chocolates to share. And if we're truly lucky, maybe even a little sprinkling of snow. But not for...

The Croods DVD review

It seems this is the week for film reviews for us, what with our special trip to the West End on Sunday to see the preview of Moshi Monsters: The Movie and then being sent a copy of The Croods on DVD to review before it is released (on blu-ray and DVD) on Monday 9th December. It...

Moshi Monsters: The Movie - The must-see movie for Moshi fans!

Meeting Mr Moshi - our all time hero! After our amazing few days in Copenhagen (which D has managed to blog about but we haven't found time to yet) we found ourselves at another exciting event - a preview screening of Moshi Monsters: The Movie in London's West End....

Wot So Funee - Practising my Autograph!

We've been jet setting around over the past few days with hotel stays in Copenhagen and then in London (more about that in a future blog post). Whilst unpacking, we found a series of notes, which really brought a smile to our face. The first one was done on a scrap of paper in...
