Wild Science Perfume Factory – Making Science Fun.
Science is one of those subjects that notoriously finds it hard to attract admirers. I don’t mind admitting I hated it at school, and my little boy Joe now states it is his worst subjects, and that he hates Thursday because this is Science day. Clearly it is having a bad rap, so anything that makes it more interesting and fun has to be a good thing. Which is why the Wild Science Kits from Flair are such a fabulous idea. The Perfume Factory is perfect for anyone with an interest in creating their own scents and pot pourri. It comes with all the equipment and ingredients to create your…

How to choose a balance bike for your kids
Encouraging kids to become athletic and enjoy the outdoors is great for their development and well-being. Riding bikes, for example, is an enjoyable activity that promotes healthy living and exercise. If you’re planning to teach your kids how to ride a bike, then it’s time to consider choosing a balance bike for your kids. Before allowing kids to actually use a regular kids or toddler bike, it’s best to let them find their balance first with the help of a balance bike. If you haven’t heard of them before, balance bikes have replaced training wheels and tricycles. From the name itself, this type of bike helps kids to learn how…

Check out the Birmingham Hollywood Bowl – Fun for all the family
On Sunday we went to check out one of the new Hollywood Bowl, based in Rubery, Birmingham. I often visit the Hollywood Bowl at Bentley Bridge in Wolverhampton, but the Rubery branch is bigger, better and far more glamorous, with an American style Diner, an adults only Snooker/pool area, and special VIP booths from where drinks and food can be ordered and served while you enjoy a game of bowling. We had the most wonderful time, proving that when the weather is dismal, bowling is good, clean fun for the whole family. The Hollywood Bowl, as the name would suggest, has an American Idols theme running throughout. The walls, both…

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt Twitter Party
On Thursday UKMumsTV and a host of bloggers hosted a very special party on Twitter to celebrate the launch of the DVD version of ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen. The party was actually taking place simultaneously with parties that were also taking place in bloggers homes, with special guests treated to party treats, games and goodie bags. I hosted a special tea party of my own for Joe and my niece Renee, with Uncle Ben and Auntie Nat also making their way from Stoke to take part. It was a lovely evening, and the centrepiece was the showing of the fabulous #Bearhunt movie, which includes characters…
