Whoopee Doo Review

November 23, 2019November 19, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) With John now home more on weekends thanks to a promotion we find ourselves having a lot more family time than we did before. This means trying to find more and more activities to do with Erin at home and recently we’ve been playing more games. Last weekend we gave Whoopee Doo* a try! Whoopee Doo is a really easy game to set up as there aren’t many pieces. Inside the box you get a pack of playing cards and the whoopee cushion. The whoopee cushion takes 3 AAA

Zimpli Kids Chocolate Emoji Maker And Gelli Baff Review

November 21, 2019November 21, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Contains gifted items and affiliate links Erin is a really creative child and she really likes anything to do with arts and crafts. I’m really not the most creative of people though and I sometimes struggle to think of things to do when we have time at home together. Zimpli Kids sent us a lovely package, including their Chocolate Emoji Maker and Gelli Baff to try out. Last weekend we didn’t have many plans and that meant staying home on the Saturday. We decided to try the Chocolate Emoji Maker in the morning and we had so much fun together

Preparing For A Party With PoundToy

November 19, 2019November 12, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | We received a voucher to spend on PoundToy for the purpose of this post. With Erin’s birthday being just a week after Christmas there is a lot going on in a really short space of time. I always try to get things organised early but honestly, party planning really isn’t my thing. Erin hasn’t had a birthday party since her first and I don’t really know what I’m doing. Having booked the venue a while ago, the next biggest thing to think about was party games and prizes for the games. A website I had heard really great

Halilit Toddler Music Orchestra Musical Instrument Set Review

November 16, 2019November 16, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Contains gifted items and affiliate links For as long as I can remember Erin has loved music. I think a lot of it goes back to when we did classes like Baby Sensory and Baby Yoga when she was only tiny. Having that early introduction to musical instruments stuck with Erin and now, at 3, she still loves to play with them. We were recently sent the Halilit Toddler Music Orchestra Musical Instrument set and Erin couldn’t have been more excited! The Halilit Toddler Music Orchestra Musical Instrument set comes in a really lovely box with a carry handle

Shark Chase Board Game Review

November 14, 2019November 6, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Post contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) I remember growing up loving playing board games and John loves them too. We’ve been waiting for Erin to reach the right age to try some and recently we were kindly sent Shark Chase from John Adams. Of course, as soon as Erin saw the box for Shark Game she started to sing that still very popular song. It took a bit of convincing before she believed it wasn’t the same thing. Still, having that idea in her head definitely made her want to play the game more

Hatchimals Royal Snow Ball Pixies Review

November 4, 2019November 3, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Gifted Erin has been a Hatchimals fan for a long time. We have a lovely collection of the smaller Hatchimals at home and Erin plays with them all of the time. However, she does find some of the small eggs a bit fiddly and hard to get into so we were both really excited when we were sent two Hatchimals Royal Snow Ball Pixies to review! Erin was so excited when she saw the size of the Hatchimals Royal Snow Ball Pixies. With a RRP of £7.99 these are really good value for money and if you’re looking

Saving The World With Herodrive Marvel Vehicles

November 2, 2019November 6, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) When it comes to toys I definitely wouldn’t describe Erin as being stereotypically girly. While she does play with things like dolls and anything that’s sparkly, she also loves anything to do with the emergency services, builders or construction sites. One of her newer discoveries is superheros and she has a special spot for Spider-Man. I can’t even begin to explain how excited Erin was when she received a delivery of Herodrive Marvel vehicles and she couldn’t wait to see what they could do. I thought Erin would be taken

BABY born Soft Touch Brother And Bathtub Review

October 24, 2019October 18, 2019 By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Gifted Last week you may have read our review of the BABY born soft touch sister and the amazing remote control scooter! Well, this week we’re reviewing a couple of new products; the BABY born soft touch brother, bathtub and a super cute bathrobe! A big brother! I’ll be honest here and say that when it comes to toy dolls I do think of them more as girls. I think that’s probably down to the fact that any doll I remember, or that Erin has had so far has in fact been a girl. When we were asked
