Kai has been given some interesting homework as of late, including a bunch of awesome projects to choose from, all around the subject he is learning about. One of the projects involved going to the in London. As we love taking the kids on adventures, we decided to head there and see one of the shows on offer – Kai choose ‘Meet the Neighbours’ which explored the galaxy and focused on some of the other planets and stars around Earth.
[Ad- gifted product] If you know me then I’m sure that you’ve probably already figured out that I am already a father, but recently the opportunity came up to have a look at the latest Daddilife Books title, You’re Going to Be a Dad!, and I jumped at it. I think it’s great that people have come together to create a resource like this, especially considering that there just aren’t that many resources out there for people at the moment.
In case you haven’t realised it yet, You’re Going to Be a Dad! is a book specifically designed with soon-to-be, and father’s to be, in mind. That said, it’s much more than a guide for a pregnancy partner. it covers the different stages of pregnancy regarding the development of the baby, the normal tasks associated with that period of pregnancy and it also covers terms, jargon and more, that might not be understood by those who aren’t carrying the baby themselves. It’s also specifically designed to take different cultures and religions in mind – it is clearly designed to be as accessible and approachable as it could be.
During the summer holiday, we wanted to make the most of it, so our family and my friend’s family went together to Chessington World of Adventure – a theme park and zoo that’s quite fun for the whole family and has so much to see, it would take several visits to view it all. This place is massive and will easily fill your entire day, especially if you like a few of the rides specifically!

In the hunt for more places to go out and visit, we found that we actually live quite close to the Hylands Estate Adventure Castle, which is a completely free, quite massive park for kids to play and explore. We wanted to make it more of a day out, so we actually packed a lunch to eat there – though there is a little cafe which is perfect for getting lunches or hot drinks if you need it.

[Ad- gifted product] As any regular readers will know, we’re happy to dip into a science-themed subscription box here. We’ve, most recently, just wrapped up the KiwiCo Tinker Crate, and so it makes perfect sense that we turn our gaze toward MEL Science, specifically their MEL Physics range; a kit aimed at a slightly older audience and specifically focused on decrypting scientific jargon into an accessible educational package. The first month we grabbed was based around Luminescence, and it was a fantastic example of MEL Physics’ boxes at their purest.
We ran into the MEL Science team earlier on in the year, while at an event. I was drawn to the stand by how professional each of the boxes on display looked. They had a simple, clear design, with one or two objects on the front, but a simple title down the spine. Each box was a single stark colour, giving them the look of classic school textbooks. The staff manning the stand gave us some simple demonstrations of accessible science but also introduced us to the App and the VR/AR elements that go hand in hand with their subscription.
