Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Brushing your teeth is something that we all know is very important, but it is often hard to get children excited about the actual act of brushing your teeth – and it can sometimes be hard to know exactly what to do to encourage or help your child along. Chronicles of a Happy Tooth is a rhyming, story book about teeth coming in – that also includes an entire dental guide, with ages and information on exactly how to help your child on their tooth journey.

A Day Out at Monopoly Lifesized Junior

A Day Out at Monopoly Lifesized Junior

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to game night, our household loves trying out new board games and spending time exploring some of our favorites. We’ve spent a lot of time playing new types of board games, but often ditch the classics like Monopoly. With that said, Dann and I had both played “local rules” versions of Monopoly and are always interested in new ways to experience classics – so when we heard about Monopoly Lifesized Junior, we were curious!

Monopoly Lifesized has appeared in central London, offering a few different boards for people to go and explore. There is a classic version, a London-specific board, a board that contains Mr. Monopoly’s vault, and Monopoly Junior, which is the only board aimed at younger children. The other three are for adults only. Monopoly Junior is really an event for kids – with not a lot of parent interaction, but it’s one of those magical events that has so much going on, that younger children are sucked into the fun, games, and magic of being in a lifesized board – which is enough to make any parents with them happy.

How to best support someone after they've lost a loved one

How to best support someone after they’ve lost a loved one

Posted on by Guest

It is always a sad time when someone passes. Often, if you have a friend or loved one who has lost a family member, you may be unsure on how to interact with them or support them after that loss. Their might be a fear that if you talk to them, you might say the wrong thing or make the situation worse, but when it comes to loss, having a friend’s support can really be a big help during such a hard and trying time. Often, you won’t be making the situation worse, and sometimes just being there can make a huge difference.

Creating a feature wall with My-Picture.co.uk

[Ad- gifted product] Feature walls are something that I think brings a lot of character to your home, without having to paint a wall and do all of the different updating that can happen when you are painting. As Dann and I have moved into a new house, the first house we have moved into together, I really wanted to be apart of the decorating of the house – and along with themes in the children’s rooms, I wanted to do something super fun and meaningful in our room and in the living room. That’s why we started talking about a picture-focused feature wall.

KiwiCo Tinker Crate - Spin Art Machine | Review

KiwiCo Tinker Crate – Spin Art Machine | Review

Posted on by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] In our continued mission to find the best subscription boxes for kids, we’ve given KiwiCo’s Tinker Crate a go, and the first box was fantastic. Subscription boxes have developed a lot over the years, I’m not sure exactly when they first became a thing – but I think most of us remember the magazine subscriptions that offered one book of a set of twenty, or a single dinosaur bone per issue. Somewhere along the line, somebody started a cool, activity subscription box, and the whole thing has blown up since.

We’ve dabbled with a lot of these subscription boxes over the last year, giving the kids some fun new ways to learn while homeschooling or in lockdown. We’ve shifted them too, trying to make sure that we don’t get too comfortable with any one in particular. KiwiCo’s Tinker Crate was the next one up for us, and – as it turns out – they’re really onto something.
