My Mum told me that the people from a company called Wicked uncle wanted me to test out some toys. I even got to pick which toys I wanted. Me and Mum went onto the website and had a good look through. The website was easy to use and find things, I like the fact it gave ages for searching to make it easier. We made a list of about ten things but in the end I decided on the mini arcade machine because I love gaming and the Stikbots because I like making videos and using cameras. We ordered the ...

Little drop in the ocean
Even at the age of three I can already see her big brothers obsession with conservation of the planet rubbing off on her. We left a party a few weeks ago and she insisted on picking up ever piece of litter she passed in the car park, they both are very aware of the conservation issues and we are doing as much as we can to help make things that little bit better. This is why it’s a absolute pleasure and honour to be working alongside a clothing brand like Little drop in the ocean. Little drop ...
Rainy days and Sundays always make me glad
‘This post was written in collaboration with Snazaroo’ We are desperate for some sun or at least for the snow and rain to clear up. I am running short of rainy day ideas, really you can only play hide and seek in a house as small as ours so many times. Just before the snow arrived we had a parcel arrive that has honestly kept us sane the past few weeks. Even Dylan at the grand old age of 8 (nearly 9 as he keeps telling me) was impressed. We had a box of face paints arrive from ...
The green, green artificial grass of home
I sometimes wonder if we actually have a dog or a rabbit. My back garden looks like it’s had a plough go across it. My gorgeous 2 year old Labrador does love to have a dig. We’ve tried filling in holes with bricks, filling in with mud and putting new grass seed down but nothing works. The front garden she never touches but the back garden is destroyed. We have looked at several different options. The replanting option we have tried and it just gets dug up again. We’ve considered slabbing the ...
Oscar and Hooch – Review of collar and lead
What dog doesn’t like going for walkies? Penny (Penny Lane named as Dylan is obsessed with the Beatles) certainly loves them. In fact she bounces around like a kangaroo and races to the front door the moment you said “walk…(runs)… ies” We have tried several collars and leads for Penny but she does love to roll in mud and go swimming in ponds, so the collars never seem to last long. I wanted something I could throw in the washing machine yet it would be tough wearing and soft, and pretty ...
From woodchip to the Earth – My sons bedroom wish list
We’ve never decorated Dylans room. We did put down a laminate floor sometime ago but that’s all we have done to it. The walls are still covered in wood chip paper. Going off topic but why did anyone ever think it was a good idea to put up woodchip paper? When we first moved in it was like a woodchip igloo. Even the floors were woodchipped (slight exaggeration but felt like it). Anyway it’s time for his bedroom to get sorted out. Together we have been making a dream list of items and styles for ...
