Our entry in the Kids Capture the Colour Competition #KIDSCTC

by

Jadyn has always had an aesthetic eye and a keen eye for colour. She has been worrying for her own camera to take pictures for ages. I love taking photos and ever since I began blogging I have begun to try out new ways of taking photographs, editing them and capturing stunning scenery. All three children, on seeing me with the camera constantly, have taken a keen interest in photography. In fact when something is in for review, Aeryn, 2, takes my phone and tries her hand at clicking. Of course, none of those photos have been used so far …

We have never been to Center Parcs but we know their villages are fantastic and that is why we would love to be chosen as Center Parcs Family Bloggers for 2013/2014  and be able to experience one for ourselves. We love doing things together as a family and love creating a lifetime of memories. So, everywhere we go we make sure to bring back a souvenir to remember the place by.

Does your child have the makings of Picasso?

by

If I say VTech – you will probably see in your mind’s eye all those lovely techno toys for children – computers, singing phones, learning toys, interactive toys. We have bought a number of VTech toys over the years for the children and whenever there is a new advertisement on television, the children’s refrain is ‘Can I have that?’ But what if I told you that there was a chance of winning £1000 worth of toys for Christmas? And yes – VTech Toys! What do you need to do? Well, I am sure that your little one is a budding …

Pocket Money Traditions in My Family

by

I remember getting pocket money – it was not a lot but I think it went a much longer way than the equivalent goes now! We were not given weekly pocket money but monthly – on pay day (so we would all get paid, so to speak) We would also get bonuses before holidays which were always welcome. I also remember a tradition which, when I was very young, I didn’t particularly care for but as I grew older I thought it was the nicest thing to spend pocket money on. As we were growing up, it was a tradition …

My #99p Summer of Fun

by

Summer is almost at an end – in fact today is officially the last day of summer. Tomorrow it will be autumn. At the beginning of the summer holidays I was wondering what I would do to keep the children busy for the 6 weeks off school. We had no holiday planned but quite a few day trips. However, as everyone knows this is never enough – the children are quite continuously bored! Thanks to the 99p Store – I managed to successfully relieve some of this boredom. When I entered the challenge, I was wondering what I should get …
