You can’t go wrong with farm toys here, so when Schleich got in touch for us to have a play with a selection of their Farm World toys, how could we refuse? We are already well acquainted with Schleich because of their large range of realistic farm animals (where else would you find a pygmy…
We have had a lovely month. The weather during half term was dismal but it did not stop our fun one bit. We began the week at Junior Farmers where the children learnt about growing strawberries and planted a strawberry plant each to bring home which was lovely. Definitley something to look forward to in…
We have almost had Baby Bell for six months now. From the teenie tiny guinea pig sized puppy, she has grown quite considerably but she is still small. We have a baby gate on the kitchen door and she still manages to squeeze through that, although her tummy does sometimes get stuck so she has…
This winter seems to have gone on forever and I have felt it more so than ever before. My hands have been freezing. Gloves aren’t always an option if you are doing anthing with animals and the children have used them in their playing anyway so I can only have one. I have taken to…
Peppa Pig is still a big hit in our house and all three of them enjoy playing with the toys. When HTI Toys got in touch, I was very excited to give the children a Peppa Pig Medic Case and a Hamper Tea Set for them to review. We tried the Medic Case out first….

I think I started planning a farm themed bedroom when our second child was about 3 weeks old. I realise farm themes are unisex but when our eldest child was born and was a girl, I opted for a pink and green woodland theme bedroom. She has since moved on to unicorns and rainbows so…
If last month’s siblings was about Christmas, this month was all about birthdays. We have had two. The eldest turned nine and we had a lovely time celebrating with family and friends. She loves a buffet (I don’t know who she gets that off) and the evening of her birthday, we took her to a…
I think it is fair to say that farmers are not naturally seen as the most romantic of creatures. With St Valentine’s Day on the horizon, I see the pressure put on couples who might not be inherently at one with professing love in an overt manner. While historically, the day (a religious feast) was…
I love a bit of taxidermy. I think I’ve always had a bit of an obsession with weird things so I was so pleased that living in a farmhouse meant I could embrace my love of stuffed animals. Indeed I have always joked with the farmer that should anything happen to Rosie, I would love…
