John Lewis Microfibre Anti Allergy Duvet

Can you believe that the Summer is nearly over and it is September now! It is getting colder and some people have already put their heating back on. Now it is time to put away the summer tog duvet and swap in the autumn/winter! This John Lewis’s Microfibre Anti Allergy Duvet came just at the right time!  This duvet is 25% lighter than standard hollow fibre. It is made from 80% microfibre, 20% Amicor™ duvet with 200 thread count cotton cover. It is very soft and comfortable to touch. I’m amazed at how light it is yet it still keeps us warm all night.

We went to Wonderland!

Last month, Mr C bought a deal through Groupon for a family ticket to Wonderland.  We are only 45 minutes drive away from Telford and he decided to buy it. My first impression is that everything is quite dated and needing a facelift. Most of the rides are free and suitable for younger children as they are quite gentle. It is quite a small park and we completed the park with rides within one hour.

Me Books: The Brave Beast Review

Me Books store is an app that allows you to buy your favourite children’s books and customise the audio content in them. The ebook that I download is called “The Brave Beast” which is written by Chris Judge. Each page is beautifully illustrated, bright and colourful. This is a story which follows on from “The Lonely Beast”. The Beast is asked by some islanders to help investigate a mysterious noise on their island. He sets off by jumping down the air plane and then swims ashore. Next, he wanders through the quiet island to investigate the strange noise. He goes up and down the tunnel and through a forest. He then sees a tiny little bird who is lost and crying. In fact, the tiny little bird is the scary noise on the island. In the end, the islanders invite the bird to stay and gives him a job in the lighthouse.

TMNT Donatello & Leo Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are one of my favourite childhood heroes.  Every Saturday, at my granny’s house, my cousin and I would always watch the shows and pretend we were the characters.  Even though that was over 20 years ago, I could still remember those days where we were fighting over who would be the goodies and who would be the baddies.

I am so pleased that we were sent Turtles Flinger Donatello and Mutagen Ooze Leo for review.  Mr K and Ms C are very excited to play with them!  Mr K immediately chose Leo as he has blue colour on him and so Ms C had Donatello.

64 Zoo Lane DVD

64 Zoo Lane is about a girl named Lucy, who lives next door to a zoo at 64 Zoo Lane. Every night when she goes to bed, the giraffe comes to take her to the zoo to meet all the animals and tell her a story! In this DVD, there are 9 episodes which are from Season 4 (2012-2013). Ms C loves to sing the opening theme but her pronunciation is not very good. It sounds like she is singing 60 floor 60 floor zoo lane…..
