300 picture book challenge – week 19
We’re so close to the magic 300 picture book level, but not quite there. Maybe next week. I thought it would be really hard to get there over the whole year, but this challenge has made me realise how much…

Creating the perfect party theme with Tiny Me
I was compensated by Collective Bias as part of a social shopper amplification campaign, to get creative using Tiny Me. With N’s ‘non-birthday’ party fast approaching, it was the perfect chance to create the perfect party theme. N didn’t have a birthday party…
Project 365: Daily photo – week 19
We’re up to week 19 of taking a daily photo for Project 365. This week’s been easier than some in the past, as the bank holiday and some lovely weather meant we got out and about. And N’s been displaying…
300 Picture book challenge week 18
We’re now on week 18 of our picture book challenge, and yet again, I felt like we’ve not read much this week. So, much more outdoor play, and the only reading we’ve done has been just before bed. No snuggling…
Project 365 – Week 18 of photo a day
This week’s been a bit short on photos for Project 365. I’m finding it’s getting to the end of the day and I’m realising I’m not really taking photos of anything of any meaning. I just snap away and things…

Fairy tales in the forest – The Gruffalo returns

300 picture books week 17 – random book finds
I had my first message ever from a library this week, reminding me of an upcoming due book. Anyone else feel really guilty if this happens? I think they were a little premature, as I was taking N’s library books…
Project 365 – photos for week 17
I’ve only got 6 photos this week, as I’ve not downloaded my pictures from Saturday, so I’ll add that to next week’s round up. * Sunday and it had to involve an Easter egg for Easter Sunday. N doesn’t really…
Haba’s Memo in the Zoo – a classic memory game
When we received Haba’s Memo in the Zoo game to review, I thought it would be the perfect game for N. He likes playing memory games on apps, so having the tiles in real life would be a good alternative….
300 picture books challenge – week 16
Just a quick one this week as short on time. We’ve got through more books than I thought, and have now run out of new books, having read all the library books we borrowed as top speed, and have run…
