A first Legoland adventure
We had our first Legoland adventure at Windsor this year. Check out the downsides, but also the good areas for preschoolers
Working with brands
Healing power of Natrasan First aid spray – giveaway
Generally I’m quite relaxed about medical treatment for bumps and bruises. We get a lot of bruises. I think it’s genetic (plus I’m on warfarin so bruise more easily now), because as a child my mum always worried about all…
Boys swimwear from House of Fraser
Swimwear’s a bit of an unknown for me with N. When he was at Water Babies, it was easy. A happy nappy plus then a rash vest because I didn’t want him shivering, plus it was easier to grab him…
Staying dry in summer showers with Trespass waterproof jackets
Being on a farm, and also getting out and about so much, I find I really struggle with finding suitable clothing. I have to admit that on the farm I just bumble around in whatever because I’m usually just escorting…
Balancing act with a pogo stick for kids
There’s nothing like getting outside on the farm, and with all the fields around and a large garden we’re lucky enough just to walk out of the house and be somewhere that children can play in a safe environment (once…

When N opened the box that Paramountzone sent us, he was beside himself. Wow, it was a remote control toy robot ‘just like the one that’s at nursery’. I don’t think I’ve seen as much excitement over a delivery box…
Shakespeare’s Stratford – visiting Mary Arden’s Farm
We love popping over to Stratford-upon-Avon, but we actually did a touristy visit to Mary Arden’s farm recently. Here’s what we got up to on our day out.
Supporting WWF through tumble tower game and puzzles
I love slow toys and really want to ensure that N sees the value in traditional games and toys. So I was excited to be sent a WWF game and jigsaw from Great Gizmos to try out. N was even…
Switch it up – Transformers Prime Beast Hunters dvd
I’m always astounded at the staying power that some toys from my childhood have, and Transformers has certainly been one of those. The resurgence, helped by films and new updated ranges, has ensured they’re as popular today as they were…
Ducks and lardy cakes in Burford
If you’ve never been to the Cotswolds I’d definitely recommend it. There’s so many beautiful small towns and villages, there’s always something to see. And pretty pictures if you like chocolate box style buildings. When we went to the bluebell…
