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 Anchor Beefeater, Scunthorpe | Review

by StaceyUpdated on April 18, 2016April 18, 2016

As a family – and me being the main cook in the house and just not wanting to cook sometimes – we tend to eat out at least once a month and it’s nice to have somewhere different to go. The Anchor Beefeater in Scunthorpe has recently had a complete refurbishment and we were invited along for a meal at the weekend to see what we thought. I’ve never been before so I wasn’t really sure what to expect compared with how it was previously, but I had a great first impression. We arrived just before 5pm and it was …

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 …

Bioglan SmartKids vitamins | Review

by StaceyUpdated on April 18, 2016April 9, 2016

I try to give the boys a wide variety of foods so they receive all of the vitamins and minerals they need, without having to take a supplement. Jacob seems to go through phases where he will eat a lot of different foods but at other times he will just eat the same thing and refuse others he has tried previously. He does try and eat a huge variety of fruit, but vegetables not so much. For this reason, I do like to give him extra vitamins and recently he has been trying some products from the Bioglan SmartKids range. We …

Review | Hotel Chocolat Easter Collection

by StaceyUpdated on August 20, 2017March 21, 2016

After finally trying Hotel Chocolat for the very first time last year, falling in love with it, and the chocolate becoming my new favourite, I haven’t been able to get enough of it. My husband took my hint from my blog post and bought me some for Christmas (!), and recently I actually managed to go into a shop and I could have stayed in there all day just looking at all of the pretty looking chocolate, but obviously that might have just been a bit…weird. Anyway, when I was asked if I would like to review something from their Hotel …
