Lapland Letters – Letters from Father Christmas | Review

Posted on December 2, 2020August 27, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] With Christmas just around the corner, we wanted to start some new traditions for our family. Last year, the children all got the chance to meet Father Christmas and make their Christmas wishes. Because this year, due to Covid, there probably won’t be any of that, we decided to write Father Christmas some letters! All three of the kids sat down last month and wrote up what they wanted for Christmas and about how good they were – of course – and send them off, not really expecting a reply. I then took the opportunity to get some customized Lapland Letters done for each of the children, giving them a specific reply to them from Father Christmas himself.

Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay | Review

Posted on November 25, 2020August 27, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] As you might well know, both Jupiter and I work in video games. As such there are tons and tons of games and gaming equipment littering the house. If you’re a fan of games then I’m sure you can imagine how exciting this is for children, but there is a bit of an issue which is that, especially for Robin the youngest, a lot of these games are either too complex or not appropriate for her. She often tries to play games that are a bit too advanced for her, dying to creepers in Minecraft and getting a bit frustrated when she doesn’t know where to go in Spyro. This inspired us to find some games that would be better suited for her. Our first stop was PAW Patrol: On a Roll! She really enjoyed this game, being a huge fan of PAW Patrol, and with PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay out, we figured we’d take a look at that too.

Peppa Pig Grow and Play Pot | Review

Posted on November 16, 2020August 27, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] Robin is a really big fan of Peppa Pig. She enjoys watching the show on Netflix and we’ve also got a couple of toys – she even used to have Peppa Pig bedding. Earlier in this year, we reviewed the My Fairy Garden Fairy Garden set, which did belong to Amelia, but Robin really loved helping out with it and really wanted to be involved. She’d keep going out to check on how the grass was growing and would play with the little characters that came with it. Ever since then, we’ve been growing plants and such through some of the nature box subscriptions we do, and she has really enjoyed watching flowers grow, and planting stuff together. When we came across the Peppa Pig Grow and Play Pot, we were excited to see what Robin would make of having her own little garden set.

Willow & Wild November Sibling Box | Review

Posted on November 12, 2020November 12, 2020 by Dann Sullivan

Frankly, I think I am just going to start writing about these Willow & Wild boxes each month, as they are a fantastic time. This November, the box had three main activities along with the normal information cards and recipes. The children really enjoyed this box – Kai has taken to some science boxes and has been doing them instead, while Amelia and Robin have been really enjoying the box, nature and the activities that come with it.

Posted on November 9, 2020August 27, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] It’s toy review time in the run up to Christmas, which allows us the opportunity to take a look at new and exciting toys for this year! Amelia has been really into painting her nails this year – enjoying trying out different nail polish, stickers, and more. When thinking about the best gifts for younger ones who want to try out makeup, FabLab Nail Art Deluxe kit seems like such a good fit, so when offered the chance to try it out for free, we gave it a shot.
