We are a big adventure family and love going on holidays and days out. As Kai and Amelia get older, its much easier to plan a holiday away then it is to find a bunch of events that work well for a 7 year old but also a 12 year old and 14 year old. Last Easter break, we went to Butlin’s Minehead, so this Easter Robin asked so many times to go back to Butlin’s – and we picked Skegness for a weekend away.

[Ad- gifted product] Subscription boxes are a great way to have a regular routine or activity that feels new and refreshing each month. There are a bunch of different types of children’s subscription boxes, but having a STEM related box, with the aim of getting children interested in science, is always a good option! Robin was very excited to play with her Tinkerer Odyssey Box, Loopy Racers. This box had a launcher, a bunch of cars, and a ring of fire! Along with a booklet that had a comic about the project and a bunch of other suggestions for other activities that we could do.

[Ad- gifted products] Robin is a fan of anything plush, even if they are on the creepier side. I honestly didn’t think she’d be a fan of Kreepy Katz, but in her own words of “But they are funny cat heads!!” she seems to be a big fan of them. From the creators of Deddy Bears, comes Kreepy Katz – a sort of spooky, cat head themed plushies. There are three types in the current range; 30.5cm large plushie heads, 10cm plushie heads, and blind bag keychain heads.
[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I went along to see Silence at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch which is a powerful and emotional performance that features a collection of stories around the 1947 partition of India into West Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). These stories contain a lot of violence and trauma, which is why they often go untold, and these stories, coupled with not being taught in schools in Britain, have left a lot of this history to fade away. Silence has been adapted from Kavita Puri’s book Partition Voices: Untold British Stories.

[Ad- gifted product] We are huge fans of Higgidy and have tried out a bunch of their foods previously, so when they sent us The Veggie Cookbook, we were pretty excited to see what foods they had instore for us. This cookbook’s goal is to get people to experiment more with veggies and cook with more veggies. These meals are all vegetarian, but some play more as side dishes and others could easily have your swapping out tofu for chicken, for example. It’s a really flexible book that has a bunch of staples, bigger vegetable meals, and more.
