Willow & Wild August Sibling Box | Review

Regular readers will know that I only recently wrote about the fantastic experience we’ve had with some of the activity boxes for kids that are out there. There are all sorts available out there, including some focused on history, science or the outdoors, and they’ve really been a perfect fit as time-fillers while the kids have been being taught from home, and while we’ve been unable to get further afield due to Covid-19.

Willow & Wild is the latest one that we’ve tried, and while it’s not the only nature-centric subscription box that we’ve tried, it has a little twist to it that really makes it fit the spirit of the house: There are recipes in every box as well as activities. This is a massive perk, we’re a family who is always looking for new recipes and food types to try (as you’ve probably noticed around the blog).

Granny Franny’s Big Red Bus | Review

[Ad- gifted product] Granny Franny’s Big Red Bus is an adorable children’s bedtime story, about a fun day out for two young kids – in London! We love bedtime stories in our home, so finding new and fun books is something we tend to look out for. As we live so close to London, and travel into London often, I was pretty excited to read about an adventure on one of those big red London busses!

Herbie’s Water Fountain for Cats | Review

[Ad- gifted product] I’ve been told time and time again that moving water is good for cats! Pancake always is swatting at his water and drinking from the tap, so when we saw Herbie’s Water Fountain for Cats, we figured this was great for our moving water drinking cat. We really like the look of the flower and the glow of the tank – there is a lot of positives to having a fountain as appose to just a water bowl.

Barry’s Cactus Club Plant Subscription | Review

After trying out Lazy Flora’s plant subscription, I wanted to explore other plant-based subscription boxes! Barry’s Cactus Club was so new that it was only taking pre-orders and I wanted to get on board for the first few months. We are now three month’s in, so I figured I would write up how this club has been so far. It’s a very new service, much like Lazy Flora was when I tried it out, so there might be more changes in the future. Each month, you are meant to get one cactus, one card which tells you about the cactus, a tiny pot and then some bonus items!

Month One, Zebra Plant

The New Selfie Bag from Cotton Bag Co | Review

[Ad- gifted product] After reviewing the previous Selfie Bag from Cotton Bag Co, I was really excited to see they were doing a new and improved version! I do take a lot of selfies, which you can always find on Twitter or Instagram.  Like most of the people from my generation, I love taking pictures of myself and sharing my thoughts and feelings with the world. The new Selfie Bag is basically a tool kit to take the best selfies while on the go and at events – which is the best place to take pictures, really, as it shows a bunch of different places and stories about your life. Let’s get into the bag;
