Fuzzikins Fuzzi Babies Review

March 17, 2019March 17, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Gifted items Keeping Erin busy and entertained on days when she isn’t at nursery can be quite tricky. Sometimes she has the attention span of a goldfish and only wants something quick and relatively easy to do before moving on to another activity. We were recently sent the range of Fuzzikins Fuzzi Babies for Erin to try. Fuzzikins Fuzzi Babies come in 3 options; monkey, hamster and lamb. Each pack contains a baby animal, matchbox bed, three colouring pens, a toy bear and 2 sheets of stickers. Erin couldn’t wait to get stuck in and she chose the

Orchard Toys Sound Detectives Review

March 13, 2019March 13, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | We received this product free of charge. All opinions are our own. One of my favourite activities to do with Erin is to play games. I love that we can play something fun while she gets to learn something at the same time. Orchard Toys have such a great range of games for children and we were kindly sent one of their newest releases; Sound Detectives; to try out! Sound Detectives is unlike any of the other Orchard Toys games as you need to use an app on your phone to play. The game is aimed at 2-4

Encouraging Food Discovery With Hape

March 8, 2019March 8, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD – Gifted Erin has been a fussy eater for quite some time now and when I say it’s hard, I’m not kidding. We are constantly trying to come up with new ways to get Erin interested in food and we’ll do anything if it encourages her just a little bit. Hape is a brand that specialises in toys, a lot being wooden, and we were recently offered a couple of food based toys to try out! Just over the past couple of weeks we have been encouraging Erin to help in the kitchen and we have been doing a

Casdon Supermarket Till Review

March 2, 2019February 24, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Gifted For quite some time now Erin has loved to play shops. I don’t know what got her so interested but she would happily make her own shop out of chairs and a blanket at any chance she gets. Erin has a great imagination and can create a shop in her head but I knew that she would prefer to have something real to play with. Casdon are a brand who specialise in role play style toys, some of which are replicas of actual products that are used around the house or from realistic situations. From experience, we

Win An Elmer Book And Rattle Toy For World Book Day

February 28, 2019February 27, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Gifted items World Book Day is just a couple of weeks away now and thanks to Rainbow Designs, we’re able to bring you a lovely review and giveaway. I always think that World Book Day is aimed more towards older, school aged children but we have always encouraged reading and looking at books with Erin since the day she was born. There is absolutely no reason why babies and small children should be left out of World Book Day and there are so many wonderful books that you could celebrate with. A favourite of ours is Elmer by

Brik Buster Tower Toppling Game Review

February 11, 2019February 9, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

Disclaimer: We received this item free of charge. All opinions are our own. Erin really likes to do a whole range of activities and she is always looking for something new and exciting to play. If ever I say I have something new for her she jumps up immediately and can’t wait to see what it is. As soon as I saw the Brik Buster Tower Toppling Game I thought of Erin. For as long as I can remember she has been building towers, letting someone else build a tower and then knocking it down as soon as she gets the

Playing With The Disney Puppy Dog Pals

December 19, 2018December 15, 2018 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

Disclaimer: We received items for the purpose of this post. All opinions are our own. Erin’s taste in toys is quite varied but two of her favourites are play sets and anything to do with dogs. When we were offered the chance to review some items from the Disney Puppy Dog Pals toy range I knew that Erin would love them. A play set with dogs? Exactly the kind of thing that Erin likes to play with. Puppy Dog Pals is a relatively new show to us on Disney Jr. and it follows Rolly and Bingo, two pugs who get up

Organising Erin’s Play Area With Maqio Storage Boxes

December 13, 2018December 6, 2018 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

Disclaimer: We received products for the purpose of this post. All opinions are our own. If you are anything like us, a family with a child or children , then you’ve probably got a storage problem. The problem for us is that while our house is a pretty decent size it’s quite awkward and really, it doesn’t work well for us a lot of the time. We definitely didn’t buy this house with children in mind and if we had, I don’t think we would have bought it! Last month we made a big decision to move my office from
