Happy Confident Me Journal | Review

[Ad- gifted product] In the last few weeks the world has sort of taken a weird turn. With schools shutting down and people in a panic, this journal has come at a very good time. The Happy Confident Company has released journals aimed at children to promote mindfulness and help with essential life skills. Specifically, we got the Happy Confident Me Journal. This beautiful journal is chock full of different questions and pages, meant to be used daily to keep things interesting and engaging.

The Happy Confident Me Journal has a little bee friend that walks children through the purpose of the journal and helps guide them through various pages and feelings. The first few pages are dedicated to listing different feelings and understanding why the book is helpful and a guide to how each page works, as well as some drawing pages for children to go wild on.

Uh Oh Milo! The Impolite Imps – Children’s story book | Review

[Ad- gifted product] Reading story books before bed is something we’ve made a habit of in our household. With that in mind, we have been finding more and more books with positive messages to read to the children. When Uh Oh Milo! The Impolite Imps arrived, we were excited to have a new and quite funny book on our shelf. This story book aims to start a discussion about manners in younger children and about influence from other people in slightly older children.

A Day Out at the Natural History Museum London

During the half term, we decided to take the family out to the Natural History Museum in London. Most of the museums in London are free, though they are packed during the school breaks – it’s a good chance to get some learning into the break and have a day out with the kids! Getting to the museum was an easy journey, and though there was a bit of a queue, we lasted it with snacks and went right in. The Natural History Museum is one that could take several days to fully explore, but we spent some time in the Creepy Crawly bit, the Hall of Birds, Evolution of Humans and the Volcano area.

£50 Toy Haul from PoundToy | Review

[Ad- gifted products] Our household is always on the lookout for toys, especially toy kits and items that will keep the three kids entertained. With the half term coming up, PoundToy reaching out with their very affordable toys seemed like a really good fit. Pound Toy is an online retailer that sells loads and loads of children’s toys at extremely affordable prices. They have some name brands, but mainly loads of cheaper off-brands that work pretty well. A few of their toys are free ad-ons (one per order) and there are toys that come in at £0.01, which can be added to an order, but do have a limit depending on what it is.

Meet Henry Heartbeat & Meet Henrietta Heartbeat – Children’s story book | Review

[Ad- gifted product] We really like stories before bedtime in our house as they are a great way to wind down and enjoy just a little bit more family time. Books that have a very positive message are always a plus when it comes to picking what to read before bed. When we were offered the books Meet Henry Heartbeat and Meet Henrietta Heartbeat, we were pretty excited to see what these two new characters had to offer.

Both of these books serve as introductions into the lives of these two characters, defining who they are and what they like. They are short stories that can be read easily by younger children or can make for a quick bedtime store being read out loud to children. Both contain fun and simple rhythms and cute pictures to go along with each page. When reading these books, the children pointed out some of their family members and friends who had shown the same traits, recognising kindness in their own lives.
