Village Hotel Spa Day With Red Letter Days

AD - Review 

This morning I went to The Village Hotel Newcastle (Silverlink) to relax on a Spa day thanks to Red Letter Days who give me a voucher for the occasion. Red Letter Days have a whole host of different vouchers available for different experiences making them the perfect gift idea - they would make a great Mothers Day gift.

 To redeem the gift experience voucher you simply register your voucher online, you will then be giving a phone number of your chosen venue to ring and book and then you hand the voucher in on the day. It was really straightforward to book and as I had been given  Blissful Spa Day for two voucher there was a number of different spas I could book into all over the country. I decided on The Village Hotel Spa as it was local. 

Arriving at the Village Hotel for 9am we arrived at reception and were directed to the spa area which is downstairs near the gym. We were showing to the relaxation room which had dimmed lights, comfy chairs and was very peaceful and we were asked to fill in some forms.

The Highwayman Sizzling Pub In Whickham Review

AD - Invited. 

Finding somewhere to eat with kids can sometimes be a bit tricky, with fussy eaters and kids who don't sit still we always try and head somewhere family friendly with a relaxed atmosphere that serves food that the children enjoy. One such place is our local sizzling pub, which serves pub food the kids (and us grown-ups) enjoy, plus it is such great value for money too.

 I was recently invited along to the recently refurbished The Highwayman Sizzling Pub which is on Whickham Highway in Gateshead, not far from the Metrocentre. I have never visited The Highwayman before so we headed there for tea last week after school with my dad.  

ClassDojo Keeping Parents Informed Of Their Child's School Life

AD - Paid Post.

Every day when I pick up my children from school I ask them what they have done that day, I always get the same reply "I don't remember" or "Nothing". So when I heard about ClassDojo I wished my children's school used this as it sounds like a great way to help us parents know what our children have been up to and how they are getting on at school. 

Finding Out Where I Come From With Findmypast

AD -  Paid Post. 

Do you ever wonder where you come from? 

About all the ancestors who came before and helped make you the person you are today? 

Now that I am older and have children of my own it is something that I often think about. When I was a little girl my grandparents would often tell me tales about where their families came from. I wish I could remember what they told me as I didn't have much interest when I was younger and now I am older and interested my grandparents are no longer with us. I think that is the reason why I am so curious about finding out about my past.

AD - Paid Post. 

Like most families these days finding someone to watch our children is hard, grandparents often work, families live miles apart and everyone is leading busy lives. 

Myself and the other half rarely have any time apart from the children, date nights are rare in our house. 

Boxy Girls Dolls & Fashion Pack Review

AD - Review Items. 

My five-year-old daughter is really into surprise toys, she loves the surprise element of opening things up and discovering what is inside. So when I heard about Boxy Girls which are fashion dolls that come with surprise boxes of accessories I knew these would be of interest to her. 

We were kindly sent Riley and Brooklyn dolls (£17.99 each) plus a Fashion pack (£9.99), there are also two other dolls to collect called Nomi and Willa.

 Boxy Girls are rather cute dolls, they look childlike with big heads and huge box-shaped eyes, long brush-able hair and fully moveable arms and legs.  Each doll comes with four small surprise boxes which contain accessories.
