Review: Infacare Baby Bath
The kids love baths, they will spend ages playing and splashing and blowing the bubble. But like me, they have sensitive skin and eczema. Thus, I'm always careful with what products we buy, to make sure they don't irritate their or my skin.
Infacare is pH balanced and is gentle and it excludes Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, a common irritant for little ones suffering from eczema.
Trolls Hug Time Bracelet and Poppy Wig from Just Play
Everyone is talking about Trolls at the moment, the kids are excited about these fun new characters, and the adults are getting all nostalgic about them. (I know I am! I want a Troll for myself). I had a few Trolls back in my day, all lined up on my shelf, different hair colours, all fun - I wish I didn't chuck them out now! I'll be getting my kids some Trolls for Christmas.

The Rat in the Loft
Last Christmas, hubby and the kids were getting the boxes of Christmas decorations out of the loft, when I heard hubby shout in alarm, I came out of the kitchen to see the kids scrambling and hubby shouting 'mouse'. It ran down the stairs and past me into the lounge. We cornered it and I said 'that's a big damn mouse'. We opened the doors and it ran out. That was that... so we thought.

Halloween Lollipop Ideas
We love Halloween, every year we decorate the house and throw a part; we take the kids trick or treating and enjoy the atmosphere of the night (and eat loads of sweets and chocolate). Sadly this year, the first since many years we won't be hosting a party (due to the extension being built, it's just not possible for us this year). We are still going to take the kids out trick or treating's and we'll decorate the front of the house a little, nothing like we normally do - but next year we should be back to normal and going the full hog!We love Halloween, every year we decorate the house and throw a part; we take the kids trick or treating and enjoy the atmosphere of the night (and eat loads of sweets and chocolate).

Flora's Lunch Box Challenge #FloraLunchbox
Jacob is a fussy eater, he will only eat certain things, lots of fruit and raw vegetables, but he doesn't like many textures or many sauces, and he doesn't like mince. So with all his little eating quirks, I've never felt safe in sending him to school to have school dinners, because I know he wouldn't eat it - it worries me he would go hungry. Thus, I will only send him to school with a packed lunch, knowing he will eat it.

Keeping a Bearded Dragon #TropicalChronicals
We are a nation of animal lovers, and whilst cats and dogs may be the most common choice of animal companion, the prevalence of more “exotic pets”, like reptiles, rodents, and birds is growing each year. These pets may seem like a cool alternative to cats and dogs, but they do require more specialised knowledge and care, not to mention equipment, to live happily alongside their hooman owners.
