AD - Press Trip | What a lovely evening that was! AD - Press Trip | What a lovely evening that was! We had our first Glow Marwell experience tonight - and we loved it. It may even be the best light trail we have been to.

We spent well over two hours at @marwellzoo, enjoying the light installations, indulging in the food stalls and cafe, toasting marshmallows and even meeting Father Christmas! 

Glow Marwell was such a nice way to kick off the festive season - and it’s on all the way through December! If you’re looking for a really nice festive activity the whole family can enjoy, this could definitely be it!
AD | Are you looking for gifts for the grandparent AD | Are you looking for gifts for the grandparents this year? @famileo_uk is a wonderful gift, giving the recipient a personalised gazette of family news regularly throughout the year - and it costs from just £5.99 a month. 

Multiple family members can use the same subscription, all posting messages to be added to one gazette - and sharing the cost of the subscription too! It’s great for parents, siblings and children to all share their news with grandparents each week, fortnight or month. 

We’ve been sending my dad Family gazettes for a while now and he absolutely loves them. It means we tell him all the little things that are happening and not just the big news you remember to mention in phone calls. The children get to upload their own messages to their grandad and it’s definitely made them feel closer, building a stronger relationship despite living far apart.

Find out more about Family over on the blog - link in bio - and buy a subscription for your nearest and dearest this Christmas. It’s a gift they will definitely love to receive.
Two weeks of Fred & George! I won’t be doing the Two weeks of Fred & George! I won’t be doing these updates every week but I like having somewhere to put all these photos!

They’re now three months old, super loving and happy, making biscuits and purring constantly.

They stay in ‘their’ room overnight but explore the house during the day, getting more confident as time passes. They even got to the point of relaxing on the sofa with us last night.

Fred & George are now very much part of our family and I can’t imagine them not being there now - even at 7am when they’re miaowing at the door for breakfast!

A whole week of Fred & George. We weren’t meant A whole week of Fred & George.

We weren’t meant to get more cats just yet but sometimes the universe sends you things when you don’t expect them.

These little guys needed a home and a family to love them. And we had a home and a lot of love to give. We still miss Leia but this pair are definitely helping make me feel whole again.

They are both used to us now, and love us. They’re less nervous, give us cuddles and let us pick them up. They’re still living in our spare room but starting to explore the rest of the house under supervision. 

They play fight constant. Love toys, especially a crinkly feather thing on a string attached to a stick, and love being up high. They are an awesome pair and we are so glad to have them.

Thank you @millbrook_rspca @rspca_official for trusting us with ‘Lonestar and Starfish’. We could not love them more.

[AD - Press Trip] I’ve just finished writing abo [AD - Press Trip] I’ve just finished writing about our half term break at @pottersresort and it’s over on the blog if you want to go have a read.

I wanted to put some of my favourite photos on the grid too as the kids did so many fun activities - they had THE best time. 

Giant swing, segways, climbing, archery, laser clays… there was so much to do that we couldn’t fit it all in - we need another trip!
And there ends our October half term - well, apart And there ends our October half term - well, apart from Troy who has a bonus week off!

This half term has been pretty lovely. Troy had his school residential the first weekend and then we had a really lovely few days in Norfolk before heading home and picking up two new members of our family - Fred and George. 11 week old rescue kittens who have pretty much stolen our hearts.

It’s been so nice to have a chunk of quality time with this pair and now I’m looking forward to the Christmas holidays. These two are the best company and I really do live for the school holidays. 

How has your half term been?
[AD - Press Trip] We’ve loved spending half term [AD - Press Trip] We’ve loved spending half term at @pottersresort in Norfolk. With great food, an action packed schedule of entertainment and activities plus everything included in the price of your break - even drinks - it’s a fantastic way to holiday as a family, giving quality time together in the nicest of surroundings. 
I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel  of our trip.

Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Smart Stages Chair Review

Disclosure: We were sent the featured products for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.

Little Man has been jealous of LP’s mini armchair for as long as I can remember and we have been meaning to buy him his own one for a few months now but when Fisher Price asked if we’d like to review their Laugh and Learn Smart Stages Chair I knew that Little Man would love to have his own seat in the lounge and couldn’t wait for it to arrive.

Review: Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Chair

How easy is the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Smart Stages™ Chair to put together?

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Chair arrived in one fairly compact box and required minimal assembly – Seven screws to be precise! My only niggle with the design of the chair is that you have to take the back legs off to change the batteries. There was a note in the instructions to tell you this but it does mean it’s a slight faff when the batteries run out. It takes three AA batteries that weren’t supplied.

What is the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Smart Stages Chair?

As soon as Little Man saw the chair he went to play on it. The Laugh and Learn Chair definitely isn’t just for sitting! You input your child’s age the first time you turn it on and the Smart Stages technology adapts the learning level of the chair to match the age of your child. There are three levels of play 12M+ First words and sounds spark baby’s curiosity, 18M+ Prompt baby though questions and simple directions and 24M+ Imaginative fun and early role play. Little Man is very much in the 24M+ stage at the moment and really enjoys the chair talking to him and singing him songs.

What other features are on the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Chair?

There are so many features of the Fisher Price Learning Chair – it really is so much more than just a chair. There’s a remote control type panel on one arm that makes sounds and says number and things when the buttons are pressed. This is one of Little Man’s favourite features as he is always running around with the TV controls or our mobile phones.

Another great feature of the Fisher Price Chair is a flip book on the other arm. As you turn the book pages in the book songs are played that coordinate with the pictures in the book. It’s great that the songs are relevant and so much can be taught through such a simple feature.

Review: Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Chair

The seat of the chair also lifts up and plays music each time you open it and has a handy storage compartment so Little Man has been happily putting things into the seat and closing the lid! Songs and music are also played each time your baby sits or stands up – The amount of interactive features on the Fisher Price smart chair are impressive!

What were our overall thoughts of the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Smart Stages Chair?

Overall Little Man loves this chair and has hardly got off of it since it arrived. He sits on it to play, watches TV sitting in it and runs to it as soon as meals or his nap time are over. Any blog reader will know that I absolutely love wooden toys but I cannot fault the Fisher Price Stages Chair – It may be made of plastic but Little Man loves it like nothing else! It includes smart features and developmentally appropriate songs for his age with learning content as well as fun surprises. I would definitely recommend this as a great gift as your baby grows.

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Smart Stages Chair has an RRP of £34.99 and is also available in pink.

    I was a bit sceptical about this at first too but Toby loves it! Our boys do look cute sitting on their chairs don’t they? 🙂
