Itty Bittys Review

7th December 2015 by Kate Williams | Leave a Comment

Never have I had to struggle to hide something work related from my kids as much as I have this last week. When I was asked if I’d like to have a look at the new Itty Bittys toy range from Hallmark I knew exactly how my kids would want me to respond, especially as the range includes some gorgeous soft super hero toys! But the problem was how on earth to keep them hidden from my kids before I photographed them? After a lot of planning I actually managed all of about 2 minutes before my youngest clocked what was in the box and as she was ill….well, what else could I do? There’s nothing like a new cuddly toy to cheer a kid up! Eventually I gave up on the concept on hiding these cute Itty Bitty toys from the kids and instead told them that I had a photography project to do and if they would be my assistants they could have any of the things we photographed. Well, guess which ones they wanted?!

Heart Shaped Easy Christmas Ornaments For Kids

Updated on 9th November 2017 by Kate Williams | 3 Comments

This year we’ve been offered the chance to review a Christmas tree from Pines and Needles which has been beyond exciting for the kids. To decorate our new tree we thought we thought we would try and do some easy Christmas ornaments for kids to make, not only do they look pretty but they are great for fine motor skills too. Making these Christmas ornaments also had a surprising benefit to my kids which I will share with you later on.

How to teach your kids with the Twirlywoos

23rd November 2015 by Kate Williams | 3 Comments

Have you watched the Twirlywoos? It’s the latest series from Anne Wood who created the Teletubbies and In The Night Garden and it seems to be just as popular as those with my kids! We were asked if we would like to review two of the new Twirlywoos books published by Harper Collins and I was really excited about it, not just because I love reading with my kids, but also because the Twirlywoos have been designed to get your kids moving and doing some sneaky learning through play. Want to find out more? And have a sneaky look in my home?! Carry on then!…

Our staycation in Suffolk: Punch Cottage

Updated on 26th May 2015 by Kate Williams | 10 Comments

Last weekend we were lucky enough to be invited to try out one of Sykes Cottages gorgeous rental properties. As the mum of two kids I’m a great believer that you can still do whatever you like once you have kids. You want to go sailing round the Galapagos Islands? You go for it! However, I also greatly believe that life is a lot more pleasant when your kids are happy and not moaning during long travel times. I have a one year old and a four year old so I like to keep them cooped up for as short a time as possible! Thankfully Sykes Cottages came to to the rescue and found us this amazing property only a couple of hours from our home.

Mothers Day at Brewers Fayre Southend

18th March 2015 by Kate Williams | Leave a Comment

When I was asked if we’d like to review the new Brewers Fayre in Southend this Mothers Day I jumped at the chance. Of course in theory my kids spend the whole of Mothers Day prepping a lovely meal for me but actually at one and four the best I’m going to get is a biscuit. This way I could relax while someone else shopped, cooked and cleaned up afterwards. The Brewers Fayre in Southend has only been open a few weeks and this was our first visit to it, here’s what we thought!
