Welcome to my Lifestyle Parenting Blog, where I explore topics related to chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS, chronic pain, and fibromyalgia while embracing a passion for yoga, books, and blogging.
Pop Pop Piñata
We love board games, it is a great way to sit down together, interact, and have fun. And, we were excited to be sent the new game from Hasbro, Pop Pop Piñata for review.
Prehistoric Fun with Half-Shell Heroes
Ninjas (big or small!) should prepare for battle as more is in store for fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the launch of GP Flair’s 2016 collection of figures, vehicles and playsets across its movie, cartoon animation and Half-Shell Heroes collections.
Blue Kangaroo Series
These are warm, fun and enchanting about a lovely friendship between a little girl and her toy.
I love books and can't believe I haven't come across this series before because they are fantastic books - books that we read again and again. The Blue Kangaroo series is about Lily's and Blue Kangaroo friendship from award-winning, renowned illustrator, Emma Chichester Clark.
The Super Yummies
The Super Yummies from Cow & Gate is a new snack range for your little ones made with healthy goodness. A new nutritious range that uses only real ingredients for your little ones to discover new and exciting tastes and unique textures. The snacks in The Super Yummies range only contain naturally occurring salts and sugars, with no added nasties.
Funny Bunny
Funny Bunny is the latest board game from Ravensburger.
This is a simple, but addictive game to play - it is tons of fun, a great game for the family or the kids to play.
Box Set Wish List with NOWTV
I love discovering a drama series that grips you, where you just can't wait to see the next episode. Box sets are great fun and there are loads out there that I haven't watched yet. Loads to choose from.
Snackeez
We love our new Snackeez cup - a 2 in 1 snack and drink cup.
The kids were super excited when we were sent one to review - they've seen the TV adverts and wanted one for a while.
What do you do if your school application is rejected
Summer starts full-time school this September. My little princess is going to big school.
She already attends nursery every morning at the school in which I would like her to go to Reception, the same school Jacob goes too. However, this school is out of our catchment area (only by a few meters), so there is a chance that our application will be rejected.
Project Mc2 - Science Week
Project Mc2 dolls are a group of dolls that are different, cool but different - trendy science geeks that love anything sciencey - they are great for encouraging kids to appreciate learning more. As I tell my kids, learning is cool, knowledge is power.
Virry App Review
Virry is amazing, it is an educational app that keeps wild animals very real for children and it is the first app that offers children the opportunity to interact with exotic animals through their iPad.
Dear father of the boy that....
You turned up at my house in the evening when it was dark, when I was alone whilst my hubby had gone to the gym, banging on my door so hard and loud it shook the house. I knew instantly who it was. Who else would knock on my door like that?
My Son Turned 13
Happy Birthday to my son and a very special birthday at that! Thirteen is a milestone.
Just over a week ago my second son, my little man celebrated his 13th Birthday. That means I now have two teenagers - how old does that make me feel.
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream All-Over Miracle Oil
Like many people, I LUV the iconic Eight Hour cream. It is probably one of the most loved and famous multi-tasking balms out there. And, they have now released their magic in a new oil formulation for use on the face, body and hair.
Space saving storage lockers
These lockers for schools can also be lockers for your kids bedrooms, or playroom etc.
Puff Pastry Pizza
Puffed Pastry Pizzas are delightful. They have a nice light texture, you can add whatever toppings you feel like, and most of all, they’re so incredibly easy to make with really impressive results.
Best Dog Walk in the Broads
Part of the National Park family, the Broads are a network of rivers and lakes. This beautiful and magical area spans across two counties, Suffolk and Norfolk. The lakes, known as broads, were formed by the flooding of peat workings many years ago, and the Carlton Marshes, a nature reserve based in the heart of the Broads, comprises over 100 acres of grazing marsh, fens and peat pools. It is one of the best dog walks in the Broads.
The Zodiac Legacy by Stan Lee
Zodiac Legacy is by the one and only Stan Lee, who has teamed up with Stuart Moore, and Andie Tong (illustrator). And, it is a really good read - a book that I myself enjoyed reading (as a Stan Lee fan) and one my son enjoyed as well - he was pleasantly surprised by it.
