Seeing all the toys at BlogOn Kids

I’ve been attending BlogOn events since 2021, when I found out about them, even writing up a guide on what to bring to Blogger events. Incase you didn’t know, BlogOn Kids is a unique blogger event where a bunch of children’s brands are brought into one venue, to show off their latest products. Unlike events like Toy Fair, children are encouraged to play with these toys and there are a bunch of activities set up for them, so that you can create content there while also networking with the marketing team members of these brands. You can get hands on and see if your child likes the various brands, which is always a fantastic experience.

Freeplay City has so many Rhythm Games

For Dann’s Birthday, he wanted to play a specific type of arcade machine. Bishi Bashi machines were something we’ve played a few times in our lives, at places that are now closed down in London. In search of a fun arcade machine, and a lovely day out that everyone would enjoy, we ended up at Freeplay City, a pay to enter arcade with tons of rhythm-based games that can keep kids and adults engaged.

Cat Days and Woof Days – Cute Card Games

[Ad- gifted products] Another Monday has passed, and we did our normal thing of playing a new card game down at our local Geek Retreat! Armed with some milkshakes, Amelia and I played Cat Days while Dann and Robin played Woof Days. These are a two player card games that are quite easy to learn and simple to play again and again! Both of the games are created by Farplace, an animal rescue, with the money raised from these cards going towards the care of various rescue animals. They also have a board game we previously reviewed.

Seeing the Winter Lights at Christmas at Blenheim Palace

We have gone to a lot of winter light trails this year, but even as the Christmas season has ended, there are still some open! We wanted to go out to a Christmas market for dinner and see a light trail, so we made our way to Blenheim Palace. Dann and I went on a date night there a few years back and really enjoyed it, so we figured it would be fun to take our children as they don’t care about the longer drives. Blenheim Palace has a few features, all with different ticket prices. The market itself is free, but you can pay to go on the light trail, go inside the Neverland themed-palace and to go ice skating. After talking it over with everyone, they declared they didn’t want to ice skate or go in the palace, so we went for the food and trail.

Choosing a Wheelchair for Your Senior Parents

While most of us are familiar with wheelchairs and how much they can benefit older adults, few of us know that there are several types, and each one is adapted to the needs of a specific person.

As we move into old age and our bodies lose strength, in the case of an accident or surgery, wheelchairs can become indispensable tools.

Some wheelchairs are very light, making them easy to transport, while others are more resistant and can support a greater weight. You can also find a power wheelchair with lift assist to give older people more autonomy and independence.

However, with so many alternatives available, how can we choose the right one? Here is a short guide to help you make the best decision.
