Slendertone review – it's #tingletime!
When I was offered a chance to review a Slendertone product I thought it was time to have a go at my poor abused abs using the Slendertone System Abs Toning Belt Womens. After all, having children isn’t precisely good for that part of the anatomy (if you’ve never looked at a diagram at what…
Foraging for books at the library #100books
I grabbed as many classics as I could find. Classics that everyone will recognise, like The Gruffalo (which at least has realistic relationships between the animals all sizing each up as a snack) and classics that I suspect just our family love, like One Gorilla: A Magical Counting Book. (I love this one for being…
Divide and Rule #100Books
I borrowed Divide and Rule from a friend’s last week (accidentally leaving my half finished review copy of O: A Presidential Novel there in exchange, so that won’t get finished and reviewed til next week now, *oops*). I like Jan Mark – as is obvious by the fact that I’ve already reviewed a couple by…
Off the shelf #100books
A few more round up reviews of books that we’ve had around for ages and I’ve read again to Smallest. The Whales’ Song is one of the batch of mini treasures that we picked up, but it’s also a book we’ve had for a while. It doesn’t seem like a first picture book somehow –…
Turning the Tide #100Books
This was kindly sent to me for review by ChocLitUK for the 100 book challenge. I’m also going to enter ChickLitPlus challenge to read 12 chick lit books in a year, and this is number 1 🙂 Perhaps it’s because I’ve been reading so many books of such a varied type in such a short…
Doing the Animal Bop #100Books
This was sent to us free of charge by Oxford University Press for our 100 books challenge. Fun pictures and a great rhythm, this is a book that is crying out to be read to a group of toddlers so that they can join in with the actions – I suspect it’s destined to become…
Just like tonight #100Books
This was sent to us free of charge by Oxford University Press for our 100 books challenge. A lovely picture book, I think this will resonate on a deeper level with parents as the story revolves around Daddy Bear recalling the day Baby Bear was born in an effort to chase away a scary image…
Using our library for #100books
A challenge that is working to build a library overseas really ought to do more than nod at libraries here. We are not in an area where libraries are particularly threatened by the coming cuts as far as I can tell, but if we were, I’d be thinking hard about what I could do to…
