Halloween Fun with Feisty Pets

This Halloween, we are having fun with these two adorable Feisty Pets from Jazwares! But don’t be fooled by their innocent cute faces. They can get very nasty when you make them very angry! Probably best to stay on the good side of the Feisty Pets!

Both my children were delighted when they saw Sir Growls-A-Lot and Princess Pottymouth. They are nine and ten years old and they both still love their cuddly toys, especially as these Feisty Pets come with the surprise element! Both of them absolutely love the angry side of their pets! They find it very fun and unique!

Morphy Richards Soup Maker Review

As winter draws in, a warm, delicious healthy soup is what you need to keep yourself warm! I am so thrilled to receive this Morphy Richards Soup Maker from AO.com for review as I have been looking for a good soup maker.

This Morphy Richards soup maker has a 1.6 litre capacity and can make up to 4 portions in one go, which is ideal for us, although Ms C doesn’t like soup as much as the rest of us. So we’ve got slightly bigger portions!

Rollplay Nighthawk Ride On Review

Children can now master the thrill of the ride with this brand new 12 Volt Nighthawk by Rollplay with its leading-edge design. This low-riding, high-powered ride-on goes up to a max speed of 6 miles per hour (11 km/h) and is great fun! It is suitable for aged six and above and for a maximum weight of 50 kg.

This ride-on is shaped like the body of a stingray with beautiful curves all around. It is very well built and there are chunky handlebars on the side to enable the child to remain secure. I love that the ride-on comes as a whole unit and there is nothing to assemble apart from inserting the rear safety flag into the flagpole hole at the back of the ride-on. The flag allows you to keep an eye on riders if they go behind obstacles. Mr K is a slightly bigger frame and prefers not to put the flag in. As for Ms C, it is perfectly fine for her!

Family Film Night

Now let’s skip the squabbling, grab a bucket of popcorn and get ready for the ultimate Halloween which will have the seal of approval from the whole family.

As my children are getting older, they are less and less keen to go Trick or Treating and getting dressed up for the occasion, so staying indoors watching a good film has become a norm. We are very much loving spending time at home to stay warm and cosy too, especially over the weekend! Of course, not forgetting to have plenty of snacks and a takeaway for an extra treat!

With these great titles, this half term and Halloween are sorted! We also like to bake yummy cookies and decorate it with Halloween theme colours! Baking is one of Ms C’s favourite pastimes and it is a great way of spending time together!
