Pancake the Cat’s Birthday & a GiftPup Review

[Ad- gifted products] My beautiful, silly, sleepy, kitten is now a full cat. I mean, we only got him a few weeks ago – but Pancake is the baby of the family now, being a pampered cat. In his passport (yes, he has a passport) it says that his birthday was September 14th! Pancake has a passport as he was born in Bulgaria, then went to Ukraine, then to the United Kingdom. You see, he is a pure bread, with a long family line of… something. I don’t really know, I feel in love with Pancake’s silly face, soppy demeanor and general lazy outlook on life. As some of our friends wanted to meet Pancake and the kids like celebrations, throwing a birthday party for a cat seemed like the sane thing to do, of course.

Arctic Iced Coffee | Review

[Ad- gifted products] Hot coffee has never really been something I enjoyed. I always figured it was the warm aspect of it; I only tend to drink warm things in the Winter or super cold Autumn months. Whenever most people grabbed a coffee, I’d pull an energy drink out of my bag, going for something cold and refreshing. Then, I went on a iced coffee spree after getting one at random, at a coffee shop I was at for a meeting. Iced coffee is a great break from the artificial and flavored notes of energy drinks. When Arctic Iced Coffee was looking for people to try their drinks, I had to try them.

De-Frizz Wave Tame Machine Hair Dryer Untamed | Review

[Ad- gifted product] I have had long brown hair my entire life. My grandma was a hairdresser, so she use to trim and cut my hair as a kid. She liked long styles, so I did too. When I was a teenager, I cut my hair short and dyed it blonde, but I didn’t like it. Currently, my hair is thick and long at it’s original brown color. I haven’t ever found a hair dryer that doesn’t dry out my hair and make it frizzy. Untamed offered a new solution to this problem – one that makes a lot of sense.

You see, I do get my hair cut by professionals now that I am an adult. I go to the Open Barbers in London, one of the best barbers in the entire country, might I add. One of the first times I was there, my hairdresser asked if I wanted my hair blow dried and I said no, because it would become frizzy. They said that it probably would not if I used some essential oil on it, which they then provided and did to my hair. This oil protected my hair and didn’t make it frizz up. It was pretty neat, but felt like a process that I didn’t really want to go into just to dry my hair. Untamed has taken out that secondary step and combined both into one hair dryer.

Office Monster Colouring Books and Pens | Review

[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to crafts, the kids tend to colour and draw each and every week they are here. Often the paints get dragged out and markers find their way downstairs. It’s always good to see them interacting with things that are not just the Xbox or Nintendo Switch. When Office Monsters were offering some arts and crafts supplies to try out, we jumped at the idea, looking at what the kids would like to try and what colouring books they had.

Travel Colouring Books

The kids often find themselves in the car, going from place to place and onto some of our adventures. Traveling to various places for days out or just shopping trips can be tricky, as the kids aren’t very use to being in a car. They often start annoying each other or are just bored in the backseat. When browsing the website, I saw a pretty clever idea. Office Monsters have Tallon Children’s Travel Colouring Set – which comes with three copies of two different colouring books. The first three were mermaid and under the sea themed, while the other three were jungle and animal themed.

Maqio Toys Backpack & Other Back to School items | Review

[Ad- gifted products] As it is nearly time for the children to go back to school, it’s time to grab up a few backpacks, purchase some lunch boxes and get together all of the different lunch box accessories they need. Maqio Toys provided some backpacks for the kids, as they have a selection on their site, while the lunch boxes and other items were purchased. You see, in schools in the United Kingdom, you do not need to provide much for your children. They do not need notebooks, pencils, pencil cases, glue – just a backpack and a lunch box will suffice at their age.

I have no idea why the eldest led all three kids to the back wall, to take a photo, but he did.
