What we enjoyed playing with at Christmas
We had a major fail this year when I totally forgot about the time and my intention to take N to the local Christingle service. By the time I remembered, it was too late to go, so that’ll have to…

Party idea: Pizza making at Pizza Express
I’d not come across this before (can’t believe how I missed out hearing about it!), but we went pizza making at Pizza Express for our team’s work Christmas lunch. If you’re looking for something a bit different for a party…
Parragon book review: The Night before Christmas
I love The Night before Christmas story, and N does have a copy of it. It is however, really hard to find a nice version that’s not too americanised, and that is true to the original wording. So I was…
Review: trunki Paddlepak
As we’re big on swimming, as well as the Moshi Monsters trunki (link), we were also sent a trunki Paddlepak to try out. I’ve vaguely noticed the launch of these in the past but have so far tended to just…
Review: Katsuma Moshi Monster trunki ride on suitcase
N loves his limited edition 5th anniversary trunki. We rarely go on holiday, but we tend to go on road trips at least once or twice a year, so his trunki comes in useful for those. When we were offered the…

Review: Tractor Ted All About Tractors and Christmas Activity book
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, N is a serious Tractor Ted fan. I blame Aunt number 1 for getting him his first DVD, Aunt number 2 for getting him a Tractor Ted waterproofs set last Christmas,…
Bathtime bonding with Matey
Having had Matey bubble bath used during my childhood, I’ve always been keen that N uses it too. So I was interested to see the book they’d developed as part of the ‘Making bathtime fun’ initiative. The creation of the…
Review: Ozeri Pro II Digital Kitchen Scale
For most cooking, I’m a Nigella style cook, just put in the vague amount of whatever ingredients and it always seems to work out fine. But with baking I’ve always used either the scales that were the first item the…
