Did you have any idea that there was such a thing as International Carrot Day? No, me neither! It was recently celebrated on the 4th April and the lovely people at Organix sent the boys some Goodies Carrot Stix and Goodies Carrot Cake Oaty Bars to celebrate with. But before we bring you our review, here are some fun facts about carrots: Carrots were one of the first vegetables ever grown by man Carrots aren’t always orange, they can be purple, red, white or yellow too!

Kids Don’t Come With a Manual | Book review & giveaway (CLOSED)
When I was pregnant with J I never read any ‘parenting’ books – there were just so many on the market and it was a bit overwhelming. I’d had lots of advice from friends, and I knew I had lots to go to for advice once he had arrived. I’d heard of lots of parenting ‘experts’ and their books though and there were many differing opinions on all of them – I decided that we’d just go with the flow and we’d get it, somehow! When we came home from the hospital though I joked that I wish they’d sent us …
Organix Goodies chunky fruit bars | Review
My boys definitely take after their Mummy & Daddy – they love food and barely ever stop eating.

This pack is for 8 so you get a plastic table cover, paper …
Zip It & Train! | Book review
As an avid reader and now writing my own book review blog, I want to make sure that my boys love reading too. J is at that stage now where he is starting to want to read them himself, and he sometimes reads to his brother, too (when he’s feeling a sharing mood). At the minute though it’s the case that I read them a few times and J memorises it so is able to repeat, which I think is wonderful! We were recently sent two new books from Little Tiger Press which he has taken to; they are his …
