This Christmas season, why not get an affordable and decent dash cam for your loved one? A good quality dash cam, like Nextbase, not only offers you peace of mind when out and about on our ever increasingly busy roads, it can also provide you independent evidence if you ever have an accident, help lower insurance premiums and speed up claims!
Last month, Monopoly Fortnite was revealed as one of the 12 ultimate toys of 2018 by the DreamToys organisation! This game is inspired by the popular Fortnite video game and now it is not about what players own; it is about how long they can survive in this Monopoly game! To win, you have to be the last man standing, just like the game!
Although this game is suitable for aged 13 and above, both of my children were super keen to play it! Mr K is a big Fortnite fan and he is loving this! This board game is suitable for two to seven players and it features well-known locations as properties, and players aim to earn Health Point chips instead of Monopoly money to stay in the game!
Last Saturday, we were so lucky to get invited to watch the Wasps versus Toulouse game in the Heineken Champions Cup in Coventry. This was an important game for Wasps Rugby Football Club, especially as they hadn’t won in any of the Heineken Champions Cup games so far in this tournament and they were up against a strong French team in Toulouse who had won their games.

Personally, these are things that I like and even before I had a chance to unbox them, my children and husband already had their eyes on them!

All I want for Christmas is a Gaming Headset! This is what I have been hearing whenever I ask Mr K for his Christmas list. He is, just like many youngsters, very much into his online gaming and watching his favourite YouTubers. Currently, he is into one of the most successful online games in Fortnite and wanting a gaming headset so that he can communicate with his online friends.
As we are running towards the festive season, the number of presents our children will be receiving can easily overrun our living space. Now thanks to these cute and affordable Maqio boxes, we can keep everything organised and our children’s bedrooms neat and tidy. Unsurprisingly, my children can generate a lot of mess, especially Ms C! She has so many small collectables that always clutter the floor!

It has been a long time since we last watched it but I will always remember how she arrived by umbrella to the Banks home, while the rest of the nanny interviewees got blown away!
