Discovering Love Monster’s Adventures In Fluffy Town

August 11, 2020August 7, 2020 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Paid collaboration Like a lot of 4 year olds, Erin loves to chill out sometimes and watch cartoons but we obviously look for fun shows that are age appropriate. We were recently introduced to Love Monster, a cartoon based on the books by Rachel Bright. We were sent a really cool activity pack containing loads of different things to do as well as books to read. Of course, these things were to tie in with watching The great thing about Love Monster is that it really helps children to talk about and understand

Feline Fun With 44 Cats

September 27, 2019September 26, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD – Paid collaboration On a normal week Erin is so busy with swimming lessons and 4 days of nursery so sometimes when we’re at home she really needs some down time. One of the ways that we do this is by chilling out on the couch and watching cartoons together. Something we’ve been watching for a little while now is 44 Cats, which is on Nick Jr and has just been released on channel Pop TV on Freeview! 44 Cats follows a group of cat friends, Lampo, Milady, Meatball and Pilou who are also part

Encouraging Inquisitive Minds With Tinpo

January 25, 2019January 25, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD – This is a collaborative post. All opinions are our own. We’re not a family that limits screen time however, we do try to make sure Erin watched some educational shows and plays games that will help her learn. Erin is quite an active 3 year old and would happily run around like a lunatic all day but I personally think that children need downtime and if that means sitting and watching a cartoon, then I’m okay with that. Erin not only tends to get up quite early but she also comes from from

Let’s Go PJ Masks: New DVD Out Now

February 7, 2018July 28, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

A little while ago you may remember us posting about the first ever PJ Masks DVD. Well, they’re back with a second DVD called Let’s Go PJ Masks. Erin absolutely loved watching the first DVD and she really took a shining to all of the characters. If you haven’t come across PJ Masks yet then here’s what it’s all about! By day, 6 year olds Connor, Amaya and Greg go to school like everyone else. But when something goes awry in the city, these special kids, filled with curiosity and a sense of justice get ready for their

What We’ve Been Watching: November

November 29, 2017October 26, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

What We’ve Been Watching is a monthly feature where we talk about everything we’ve been watching over the past month. It might be something on Netflix, Sky or even just a DVD we’ve had for years but wanted to watch again. If we’ve been watching something new we’ll talk about that too! Stranger Things 2 Stranger Things was one of my absolute favourite shows last year and I have been on countdown to Stranger Things 2 since it ended. This is something John and I were able to watch together as there were only 9

Discover The Beatles With Beat Bugs on Netflix

October 31, 2017July 5, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

When it comes to watching television, Erin tends to only watch a couple of shows as she’s super picky and she likes what she likes. When I attended Blog On in September I was blown away by the range of Beat Bugs toys that were on show. Before this, I didn’t know what Beat Bugs even was. If you don’t know either, Beat Bugs is a Netflix original and ‘features five charming and funny child-like bugs who adventure together in an overgrown backyard. Each episode centers around a song made famous by The Beatles.’ There

What We’ve Been Watching: October

October 30, 2017July 5, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

What We’ve Been Watching is a monthly feature where we talk about everything we’ve been watching over the past month. It might be something on Netflix, Sky or even just a DVD we’ve had for years but wanted to watch again. If we’ve been watching something new we’ll talk about that too! October seems to have flown by and it honestly feels like we had half the days that we did in September. Maybe it’s because we went on holiday at the beginning of the month to Center Parcs and that took up a whole

PJ Masks 1st Ever DVD: Time To Be A Hero

October 29, 2017July 2, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

It’s no secret that Erin is quite picky about the children’s television that she watches. Up until a few weeks ago she would only watch one or two things but we’ve recently introduced her to PJ Masks. The first ever PJ Masks DVD, Time To Be A Hero, is about to be released tomorrow, 30th October and just in time for Halloween! Our DVD was delivered in a super shiny, hero like, blue envelope and Erin squealed a bit when she went to pick it as soon as it came through the door! She didn’t even
