The Kiddies Go To Farm

July 2, 2018 By in Kids Section Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 20 Comments

We had a very busy weekend. The kiddies went for their swimming classes, played for hours in the garden splashing in the pool, playing with bubbles, football and letting loose in the sun. And we ended the fun weekend with a trip to our local farm – Stockley Farm, in Cheshire, which was a lovely experience. How was your weekend?

Thoughts on Stockley Farm

It was good fun. The weather was dead warm at almost 30 degrees. And the kiddies were loving it. This was our first trip to a farm as a family and I was well impressed. The trip to the farm started with a tractor ride which was the highlight of the day. Then we had the opportunity to go round the farm, popping into the many animal barns to see the animals. The kids even got the opportunity to feed some of them. It was a good family day out for sure. We will be doing it again for sure. There are quite a few farms around us in Cheshire, which we will be exploring this summer.

There was also a soft play available, and a playground which was a nice surprise. I didn’t think the farm would have all those as well but it did, and it kids made sure they made the most of them.

Days out are always fun for the whole family when done right and this was a great experience all around. I really liked the fact that the tractors that took us to and fro the farm were both prompt. Since we had to park our car in a car park a mile away from the farm, and catch the tractor. The last thing I wanted was to hang around waiting for a tractor. But thankfully we didn’t have to.

Back to School Feature With My NameTags

June 22, 2018 By in Kids Section Tags: , , , , , , 11 Comments

The kiddies start primary school in September and I am proper excited. We have a lot of things to put in place before then, most of which are new to me, as the twins are my first. They have been in pre school for almost 2 years now. And we have had the freedom of wearing anything and getting really flexible early years education. All that would be changing in September, and we are getting for the massive changes with the serious schooling. One way we are getting ready for back to school in September is by labelling every item the kiddies take to school. There is nothing like starting to early when you have a lot on your plate. So my back to school preparation starts now in June with My NameTags.

The kiddies have always had labelled items even in pre school where they don’t even wear a uniform. So I will definitely be carrying on labelling their items in primary because they would be less likely to lose them when they are labelled.

For the new school session, I will be using named coloured sticker labels by My NameTags. I find these colour stickers very useful and easy to use. They make my parenting a lot easier. I won’t want to have to deal with missing clothing or shoes with these tags hopefully. And the stickers also look very good too! They come in different designs and they can be personalised as well which is amazing.

My NameTags are quite affordable which is a blessing. With all the endless back to school items to get, we need to save all the money we can save.

 

Prices

56 colour iron-ons £11.95
56 colour stickers £11.95 
75 black & white iron-ons & 75 black & white stickers £11.95
120 black & white iron-ons £11.95
180 black & white stickers £11.95

 

I  prefer the colour stickers to the iron-ons because they are quicker and easier to use. Lord knows I don’t have the time to iron on stickers.

My Nametags name labels come with a 10 year warranty which is brilliant. They are washing machine, tumble dryer, microwave, dishwasher and steriliser friendly; and are guaranteed not to fall off in the wash.

So far, the stickers have lived up to their reputation. I have used a couple of them on some clothing for the kids and they are still on it looking good. Looking to see how long they would stick on before they fall off, and if they do fall off at all.

I recommend My NameTags to everyone getting the kids ready for back to school. The stickers are really cool. And they are loads of designs to pick from as well.

How are you getting the kids ready for back to school? Are you an early bird like me? What are your thoughts on these name tags.

How the Kiddies are Spending Half Term

May 27, 2018 By in Kids Section Tags: , , , , , , , , 15 Comments

The Kiddies are now on half term and I am happy to say we have plans. Having plans for the family when the kids are on holiday is ideal because it means we all get to have some fun. My kids become very restless when bored, like most 4 year olds. And that usually leads to all sorts of mischief. So I like to keep them entertained during their holidays. It makes our lives more fun. No one really wants to watch mummy blog all day.

We spent the last Easter holiday holidaying in the US, which was good fun. This time, we plan to spend some quality time with the family in Essex, and we are so looking forward to that. Monday is bank holiday here in the UK, and the weather is looking promising with plenty of sunshine. So it is likely we will have some barbecue with friends and family. I am seriously look forward to that and I hope it happens as nothing is set as at today.

So for half term week, we have planned 2 road trips to Essex and back, a barbecue party, meeting up with family and friends, a shopping trip, long walks, some time at a soft play (maybe) and many other activities I am sure my sister would have planned for the week.

What plans do you have for the kids this half term? Do you dread the holidays with the kids? I only dread them when I have nothing planned. I remember one of the first half term the kids had when they first started pre school. We were fine for the first 2 days or so because they were shattered. But those days went quickly and they became very bored and restless. We had nothing planned so all we did was go for long walks as far as the weather allowed us. It was horrible. Which is why I have never allowed us have a half term and not have activities planned. It never works!

The fact that I don’t drive makes the holidays even worse. It is a lot easier when you drive. You can just pop the kids in the car and go anywhere. But when you don’t drive, it is not that easy.

I am looking forward to sorting out my driving test this year and getting the car of my dreams. Wish me luck and have a lovely half term with the kids.
