Day 13 of Blogtober, and the prompt was ‘movies’! Now, I have to say that, after 12 days, I’m now running slightly behind by a day, but at least it’s only a day and not a month – so that’s what I call #winningatlife! We love watching films in The Newby Tribe but we do […]
Best Kids Advent Calendars
We are onto Day 4 of Blogtober, run by the lovely Hex Mum Plus One. So far I’ve talked about our story so far, how we are considering fostering to adopt, and great learning ideas for car mad kids! Today’s prompt was ‘date’ and immediately advent calendars came to mind! I know, I know – […]
Fuzzy-Felt Review : Classic Toys!
35 years ago, when I was a small child, there weren’t as many toys around as there are today. I remember a few from my childhood with very fond memories. My pull along telephone, my tea set and my sewing kit are a few that stand out. Along with these, another favourite was my Fuzzy-Felt […]
National Craft And Design Centre Visit
Living in a new county has been eye opening for us. For all of my life I have lived in the Home Counties, and really knew the area so well.

Online Shopping And How It Changed My Life!
Yep – I get that the title of this post is, let’s say, rather dramatic! How on earth can online shopping change someone’s life? Oh, except for perhaps causing them to spend too much money? Well, basically, I hate shopping! Scrap that – I hated shopping until I really embraced online shops. Going into a […]
And Then There Were Four Book Review
When we were considering adoption, way back in 2014, I devoured as many books as I could possibly find on the subject. I wanted to go into the whole process with my eyes wide open, knowing as much as I could. So I read blogs online, ordered vast quantities of books off the internet and […]
Whipsnade Zoo Review : A Great Day Out!
A year ago when I was stressing just slightly about what to do with my two children during the long summer holidays coming up (more in a later blog about why I’m so looking forward to the holidays this year!), my lovely work colleagues clubbed together and bought us a family membership to ZSL Whipsnade […]
