I Love My Daddy | Book Review

by StaceyUpdated on October 30, 2020July 25, 2016

In our house it is mostly me that reads books to the boys, even at bed time. We will also take some time out during the day though to sit down and read, especially when they are getting a little boisterous! Sometimes however, they just need Daddy to read, particularly when it is a book about how much I Love My Daddy. Find out why each dad deserves his shiny star in this concentric, colourful book of giving. Bright artwork from Fhiona Galloway and a cheerful rhyming story makes learning come alive. The boys were sent this book last month to …

Happily by Sophie Tanner | Book review

by StaceyUpdated on June 16, 2016June 17, 2016

I have to admit I was quite curious about the main subject of this book, Happily by Sophie Tanner – self marriage – as I had never heard of such a thing previously and I must admit I thought it was a bit odd… How far will you go for your Happily Ever After? Chloe Usher’s had enough of being asked why she’s ‘still single’; people can’t seem to understand why she’s not freaking out about the slippery slope to spinsterhood. But, as far as Chloe’s concerned, life is sweet; she’s happy, she loves her job, her friends and her …

Colours Colours Everywhere | Book review

by StaceyUpdated on August 12, 2017April 26, 2016

As you can probably tell by now, we really love books in this house! Jacob is already familiar with his colours, whereas Noah is still learning about colours and objects so a book we were recently sent to review – Colours Colours Everywhere – fits the bill for both of these. The Colours Colours Everywhere book itself is hardback, which I do prefer for my children as Noah especially, is a bit of a book ninja (I may have mentioned that before?). The book contains all of the primary colours and those in between, including black & white. Some of the pictures on …

The Cloudosaurus Rex | Book review

by StaceyUpdated on May 16, 2016April 15, 2016

If you have been reading my blog recently you may have noticed that I have two little boys who are quite into dinosaurs at the moment. Add to that our love of books, and the fact that Jacob is currently loving learning about the outdoors, and The Cloudosaurus Rex is a book that we are finding great right now! A fun rhyming action book, perfect for children aged 3 – 6 years who love to join in with the actions and the rhyming verse as they learn about other people’s feelings, the days of the week and the weather. Blurb: May, Adelle …

The Rabbit Who Wants To Fall Asleep | Book Review

by StaceyUpdated on January 2, 2026February 27, 2016

I have mentioned recently that we have had sleep issues with both boys. We made some changes to Noah’s routine, so it was different to Jacob’s (where we had the most problems). He does seem to be better at bedtime, though sometimes he can be a proper little monkey (like a few nights ago when he headbutted me in the mouth – ouch). In order to try and improve this some more, a few weeks ago we added a new bedtime story to his routine – The Rabbit Who Wants To Fall Asleep.
