Hacks for Surviving a Long Haul Flight with a Small Child*
In 50 days I’ll be embarking on my forth long haul flight to Walt Disney World with a child under 5 as a single parent. The first time I flew long haul (also the second time I flew with Little Miss) she was barely three. She turned three at the end of January and we flew the beginning of April. I know I had people tell me I was crazy, that I’d regret it when people were giving me “that look” when she couldn’t settle or ended up bored an hour in. Guess what? It never happened. In fact, as of yet it’s still never happened. Two of our flights…

Betty Spaghetty Mix Match Style Doll Review
Twenty years ago Betty Spaghetty was a huge hit of a toy with my little sister and her cousin and I have to admit she wasn’t one I ever saw making her a come back due to being.. well just being so 90s. With her jelly band material hair, the beads and brightly coloured clothes, she really was the epitome of a 90s toy and Little Miss does enjoy playing with the box of dolls that belonged to her Aunts, but never did I ever see her owning one! But hey, guess what she does, and I’m here to tell you all about Betty. Have you heard about Betty? Betty…

#IWoreWhatNow with George at Asda*
I wore what now? Growing up my parents took a lot of photos, and I mean a lot. The amount of photo albums we have from my birth to my early teens (when I suddenly hated having my photo taken and not much has changed since!) is ridiculous and I dread to think how much money my parents spent on having photos developed from Click. However, it’s still so much fun to settle down with Little Miss and show her snaps from my childhood. We didn’t have much money growing up but we sure had fun! One of the things I always consider there must be a massive difference in…

My Geek Box Kids Little Princess Subscription Box Review July 2016
Last week I had a bit of a surprise when I opened the door to the mail man and he was standing with another My Geek Box for Little Miss! I hadn’t ordered a second but I loved that we got one anyway and it came perfectly timed with her last day at pre-school making it a fab treat! When I had a peak inside (as at first I wasn’t sure which My Geek Box it was as they do a selection) just to make sure it was the My Geek Box Kids Little Princess subsciption box* as that would be the one most appealing to Little Miss, and much…

Aquafresh Brush Time App Review*
Little Miss and I rarely butt heads, but one of the things we butt heads over, is brushing her teeth. It’s not that she doesn’t want to, it’s that she wants to stand and chew on the toothbrush for 30 seconds and then claim she’s done. She is so fiercely independant that she never wants me to help and she gets bored of the activity after 30 seconds, not great for her teeth and not a great routine to get into! Thankfully, thanks to the Aquafresh Brush Time app, I think we’ve got it cracked! You may be familiar with Captain Aquafresh from the tv adverts and he’s the start…

Little Miss’ Last Day of Pre-School
Well today was a big day, one I’ve been dreading but one Little Miss has been so excited about. After three & a half years Little Miss has said goodbye to her nursery and pre-school as she gets ready to make the huge leap to primary school! I cannot believe I had a daughter whom is old enough to start school in September. I remember the first time I held her and she was tiny, starting school seemed so far into the future yet it’s now only 7 weeks away. I’m not ready, but I know she is and she said goodbye to the staff and some of her friends…
