Like most kids Leo loves colouring and writing and over the years we have purchased what feels like hundreds of books and pads to quench his thirst for creativity. Realising that we were spending a small fortune to keep him supplied we ventured online to find colouring sheets and learning resources to print off, figuring… Continue reading Review: Banish Boredom with Mrs Mactivity’s Learning Resources

Blogging: How I’m Staying Organised
With the youngest of the Fraser clan starting school in September I really want to take the opportunity to focus on my blog. I’m extremely lucky that my new job means I work early mornings leaving me plenty of time (in theory) to spend blogging whilst he is at school without infringing on family time.… Continue reading Blogging: How I’m Staying Organised
Creative Storytelling With Magical Story Jars
Reading and sharing stories for the Fraser’s is akin to breathing, however my personal favourites are those enjoyed before bed. From being tiny I have always shared a Bedtime Story with the kids before snuggling them up in bed with a big sloppy kiss– I hasten to add I no longer read them to the… Continue reading Creative Storytelling With Magical Story Jars
Review: The No More Worries Kit From The Irish Fairy Door Company
Something I haven’t discussed on my blog before are the issues we had when it came to settling Leo into nursery. It’s something that I may touch upon in more detail at a later date, but let’s just say to start with it was a rocky road. He suffered terribly with separation anxiety meaning it… Continue reading Review: The No More Worries Kit From The Irish Fairy Door Company
Hopster TV Review: The Kids-Safe Learning App
Technology is now part of our everyday lives a completely different world to the one I grew up in and its growth has been significant even in the 10yrs since the girls were small. It’s not surprising then that from an early age children come into contact with and have the desire to utilise devices… Continue reading Hopster TV Review: The Kids-Safe Learning App

Statistically children under the age of 16 are involved in a higher number… Continue reading Learning Life Skills with The Children’s Traffic Club

RaverTots Review: Big Raves For Little People
I’m sure you’ll agree how incredibly rare it is for us experience anything other than rain on a British Bank holiday. Therefore, you may ask why I found myself eagerly waiting to spend the afternoon inside the Student Union bar at Newcastle University on one of the hottest days of the year so far? The… Continue reading RaverTots Review: Big Raves For Little People
Review: Mud & Bloom- Kids Craft & Nature Subscription Box
Growing up I lived in a built-up area and our ‘garden’ consisted of a small block paved yard front and back, so as I child I didn’t really have the opportunity to learn much in the way of gardening skills. As I have got older I have tried my hand at some seemingly simple gardening… Continue reading Review: Mud & Bloom- Kids Craft & Nature Subscription Box
Bakerdays: Cake Direct To Your Letterbox
I have a confession…… I think I’m addicted to cake! For me there doesn’t have to be a special occasion or reason to eat cake, any time of the day is perfectly acceptable to indulge in a slice. I think I may have given a few indications in my recent birthday post about my cake… Continue reading Bakerdays: Cake Direct To Your Letterbox
