Gamers ahoy – Disney Universe review and Grease Dance XBox competition.
Rattling through a bit of a backlog of reviews and competitions this week, worth keeping checking in to see what else is coming up 😉 Today it’s Disney Universe – we were very lucky to be sent this to review on Wii. It ticks all my boxes in that it’s suitable from age 7 up…
The Fellowship of the Ring – Family Film Night
Grotty dull day here yesterday – it barely seemed to get light. I managed to get a bit more tidying done, which had the adverse side affect of clearing a path to the craft shelves, so I then spent lots of time removing unsuitable craft items from the toddler. Going to have to do some…
Now we are two.
It’s been a fairly low key birthday today for Smallest. Big made and iced her a cake (yes, I’m impressed. First time she’d used fondant icing and she made a fabulous job of it.) Small got down on the floor and played pattern games with the Tantrix tiles with her until she made him cry…
Saturday is family film night – Back to the Future.
Or at least, tonight was our second family film night. I’m trying to make it a habit, that we spend one evening a week staring at the same screen together – I’d quite like it if we did board games or something non screen related, but atm, Smallest would destroy them, so a shared film…
Ponderings on Klout following that there new algorithm.
Quite some time ago I wrote an article proposing that there should be more than one type of Klout. That they should separate out professionals/ brands from ppl. With their latest algorithm tweaking, I suspect they’ve started to refocus their attentions on those ordinary ppl, and I don’t really like the way it’s going. That…
When god was a rabbit by Sarah Winman #review
I received this book from Tesco Books blog – they have recruited a whole bunch of bloggers to review books, but with a little twist. So books are listed in a category – and When God Was a Rabbit is one of a list of “Books to Turn Your Heart in Somersaults”. Hm. Well. Generally,…
Little lifesavers from Dylon and Radox
One of the perks of being recognised as a mummy blogger (much as I detest that term, quite frankly) is being sent lovely little presents. One of the downsides of this is having to work out what to put in reviews of them. Particularly when they aren’t huge things, so writing a whole post about…
Ape House by Sara Gruen #100books
I was thrilled when this arrived in the post yesterday from Two Roads Books. I read Water for Elephants as part of Cara’s book group and absolutely loved it, so couldn’t wait to get my hands on Ape House. It’s published in paperback on 1st September this year, so it’s available for pre-order from Amazon…
A trip to That London to see Vtech's new Innotab.
We went rather nervously, it has to be admitted, given all the news stories, pictures, rumours, reports and hashtags that are flying around. But I reasoned that the part of London we were going to was very central, and we were going to be on a train out by half past three. So after trotting…
Star Struck by Jane Lovering #100books
I really wasn’t up to much today, so I was thrilled to find an envelope from ChocLituk in my post this morning. It contained and chocolate, so was a very good start to the day. I haven’t read any Jane Lovering before, though I understand there are several about. This one is due out in…
