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…

My Geek Box Kids Little Princess Subscription Box Review June 2016
It’s been a while since I’ve ordered a subscription box of any kind but as I thought I was going away at the weekend I decided to take advantage of the Facebook discount for a My Geek Box Kids subsciption box. Using the discount I could get it for £9.99 with free postage which seemed like a bargain. I thought she’d like the surprise element of a subscripton box rather than just buying her a gift (although she’ll be getting Tsum Tsums tomorrow!) And I was right, her little face lit up when she opened it (there are photos at the bottom, enjoy!) I ordered it on Friday and it…

What Little Miss Read April & May 2016
Life has suddenly got a little hectic in our house hold meaning i’m falling behind on series posts such as this one because I just don’t have the time to sit down and really write. Life hasn’t stopped, Little Miss is still loving her books, especially new books that introduce her to new series’ like The Fairytale Hairdresser that I’m going to talk about below. It’s now less than 3 months until LM heads off to big school where she will be bringing home books on a weekly basis as she learns to read. And that’s a scary thought! My other half has been wonderful taking full control on teaching…

Helping Your House Survive the Pre-School Years*
So, you’ve just got your house looking perfect and you welcome your first bundle of joy. The first few years your only concerns are baby proofing the place.. after that you need to start thinking about how to help your furniture survive the pre-school years. That’s where I’m at now. I don’t have the money to replace the table when she gets paint all over it that won’t scrub off. Or repaint whenever she feels the need to scribble on my walls. Lets not forget the occasional jumping on the sofa or bed whenever my back is turned. She’s not a bad kid, she’s just a kid that occasionally forgets…

Walt Disney World – 5 Things for Under 5s at Epcot
Finally another Walt Disney World post, I bet you were all missing them, right? My life has just been a bit busier than usual of late and i really do like to put my heart and soul into a post about my favourite place on earth. But finally I have a day free to get on with one. And today I’m sharing my 5 Things for the Under 5 Crowd at Epcot. Growing up, Epcot was my least favourite park. There just didn’t seem to be anything magical about it. I enjoyed meeting the characters at World Showcase and that was it. The worst part is my parents used to…
