Blaze And The Monster Machines Animal Island Stunts Speedway Review

AD - Review Item. 

My three-year-old son  and 4-year-old daughter are huge Nick Jr fans and one shows that they both enjoy watching on there is Blaze and the Monster Machines. They have been watching this show for about a year now. 

If you are not familiar with the show it is about a boy called AJ who rides in a monster truck - Blaze who talks and goes on quests with AJ and his friends (who are also Monster trucks). On their adventures, they solve lots of problems which they encourage the children watching to get involved with (such as basic maths) and it is a fun way for them to learn. My children can often be heard shouting out the answers at the TV whilst watching Blaze.

Sunderland Illuminations With Tyne & Wear Metro

AD - Paid Post with Tyne & Wear Metro. 

Every year Sunderland have an illuminations event, where Roker Park is transformed into an illuminated wonderland that both adults and children will enjoy. Every single year we say that we will take the children but we never get around to it as we keep hearing how bad the parking is. So when I was recently invited to enjoy a family day out on the Tyne & Wear Metro I knew that a trip to Sunderland Illuminations would be the perfect day out that the whole family would enjoy.

Christmas Toy Shopping At Smyths

AD - Paid Post. 

Now that it is October we have started thinking about Christmas in our house, which let's face it is the most magical time of the year. We love Christmas in our house and I normally start planning on what to buy the children months in advance, however this year I did not know what to buy them as they have so many toys already. Then the Smyths toy catalogue came through the letterbox and solved my dilemma, as the children adored looking at it and pointing out the toys that they really wanted.
