Love a massage at home or while you are on the road? Recently, we have received this stylish looking Naipo Shiatsu 3D Massager with heat to review. This is a great companion that is not only portable, it also comes with a car adaptor so you can unwind anytime, anywhere.
Earlier this year, we bought an old property that required a lot of renovation. It was very daunting, especially when the surveyor came back with a number of things to be fixed. One such item on the report was that the windows needed maintenance. One of the bedroom windows was not able to open fully and there were a couple which were leaking air into the house!
I have not had any experience of choosing a window company before so I asked around online but no one was able to help. Nevertheless, I found Windows4You due to a Facebook competition I had entered during the Christmas period. I contracted them and within days, they came to measure up the windows. As part of the work, we also decided to change our front and back doors and the sliding door to a bifold door.
Our family have been huge fans of the Harry Potter movie series which are, of course, based on the bestselling series of novels by J.K. Rowling since it was first shown back in 2001. It is one of those magical movie experiences that continues to captivate us across eight films with a cast including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Alan Rickman and Ralph Fiennes.
To celebrate the release of the Mary Poppins Return movie, we have received this gorgeous Disney Mary Poppins Umbrella from Paladone to follow in the footsteps of the magical nanny herself and to transport us to our next mystical adventure!
Mary Poppins is a much-loved musical that first aired in 1964 and was produced by Walt Disney. This sequel is set decades since her original visit and she is returning to help the Banks siblings and Michael’s children through a difficult time in their lives.
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!
Pokémon fans! Have you caught them all? Pokémon has been one of the most influential global phenomenon and one of the most successful video game franchises of all time! Both of my children love Pokémon so much that when we went on holiday to Japan, we made time to visit Pokémon centre Osaka.

Getting presents for your loved one can sometimes be quite challenging! What about getting something thoughtful for people with cancer? If you have never stepped in their shoes before, you would probably find it hard to find the appropriate and practical things for those going through this difficult time.
This is how Cancer Care Parcel came about! It was started by Dr Shara Cohen, who herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. Since her diagnosis, she found that a few friends felt awkward and avoided her, as they did not know what to say or react. She used her own experience and understanding to set up this website to let people suffering from cancer know that you are thinking of them.

Earlier this month, we were testing out these Treads school shoes for Mr K and we wanted to see how it fared after a few weeks.

Yes, they have so far and they should! Treads are so confident with their specially designed moulded soles and reinforced shoes that they have 12 months Indestructible Guarantee.
