Spot a Lot Animals jigsaw and book from Parragon Books
We’ve not done any book reviews for a while. It’s mostly because N’s not being interested in new books – he just wants us to read Biff and Chip. Oh, how I wish I’d never bought the set for him….

Baking with Bake to Black recipe book
I love cake. It’s one of my downfalls, with chocolate, pastries, biscuits…oh just food in general. But cake is something that the whole of our house like. Unlike other foods which the OH will faff over and not eat if…
Books update for March
Ok, so I’m a bit late with my books update for March, but I’m pleased to say that I’m back reading regularly, and even (vaguely) managed to find some time alongside it for some crochet too. I did think I’d…
Learning by quiz with Brain Factor

Personalised books with Penwizard
I remember being bought a personalised book when I was a child and loved reading how I and my friend helped Snow White and the 7 Dwarves save the day. I always thought it was magical being in a book…
Little Snappers books – review and giveaway
Last year we did the 300 picture books challenge and managed to complete it in May or June, reading 300 different picture books. I can’t say the same for my own personal challenge, it was a seriously poor showing and…
Badger and the Great Storm – picture book review
As he’s grown a bit older, N’s been much more open to new books. Anything with animals in seems to go down a treat, and when we received Badger and the Great Storm for review, it was immediately picked up…
