L.O.L Surprise! Pearl Surprise Review

AD - Review Item.

My little girl is almost 5 years old and she is L.O.L crazy!

Little Tikes Anchors Away Pirate Ship Water Table Review

AD - Review Item. 

 We were sent a Little Tikes Anchors Away Pirate Ship Water table to review last week, just in time for the lovely sunny weather we had over the weekend. 

When the water table arrived it was in a huge box and needed to be put together and screws fitted to keep things in place. The instructions did say you need a drill but we managed just fine with a  screwdriver. It took about half an hour to build. 

Once built it looks really impressive and is big enough for my 3 and 4 year olds to play with it together, it is really sturdy and comes with lots of accessories for children to play with.

National Citizen Service For Teenagers

AD - Paid Post. 

Edit - National Citizen Service closed in 2025. My own teen took part in 2019 and really enjoyed the experience. 

My eldest daughter is turning sixteen this year, she is currently studying for her GCSE's and is seriously thinking about what she wants to do when she leaves school.  She will soon be venturing into the world of college and work and I often wonder if she is ready for it. So when I heard of National Citizen Service (NCS) I thought that this sounded like a brilliant programme to help equip and ready our teens for life after school.

Barburrito Metrocentre Review & Giveaway

Edit * Barburrito is now closed at the Metrocentre *

As a family we love dining out, however with two under 5s when we dine out as a family these days we normally opt for somewhere that is quick. So when we were recently holiday clothes shopping in the Metrocentre we decided to visit Barburrito. 

We had never visited Barburrito before but it is quick and filling food - making it perfect for a shopping trip lunch stop with kids.

Beauty And The Beast Easter Panto At Tyne Theatre & Opera House

AD - Invited. 

Yesterday afternoon we headed into Newcastle to enjoy an Easter pantomime production of Beauty and the Beast at the Tyne Theatre and Opera House. The show is from the team behind last years Snow White pantomime at the Tyne Theatre and was starring Bobby Davro at Silly Billy and Dani Harmer (Tracy Beaker) as Belle. We were really looking forward to the show as Beauty and the Beast is both my girl's favourite.
