Here is my brain dump for the week reflecting on the reasons behind people’s collections and why I think I am a tiny bit OCD – by this meaning a bit obsessed with one collection in particular. And of course I tell the story of my vintage Barbie collection.
These are just a few of my dolls from my Barbie collection. They are like children… you don’t really have a favourite.
I am a big fan of Tom Gates and I am now becoming also a fan of Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. This is my review of Jeff Kinney’s latest book Diary of a Wimpy Kid – Old School.
Here is the author’s presentation:
Life was better in the old days. Or was it?
That’s the question Greg Heffley is asking as his town voluntarily unplugs and goes electronics-free. But modern life has…
Are you a crazy Lego fan? If you are, then jump in and adventure a world of activities and creations! At Brick 2015, the biggest Lego Show in Europe, there is a whole world of Lego sculptures and exhibitions. And best of all, there are three building areas with different coloured bricks to play with: purple, red and blue. I enjoyed building with them so much!
My friends were swimming in Lego…
Here is my hand-written review of Tom Gates – Top of the class (Nearly) book 9 and my exclusive interview with Liz Pichon for London Mums magazine.

I interviewed Liz Pichon and she is great (read my…
Once again my friends Amelie, Lilly and I went to see Disney on Ice Worlds of Enchantment and have created a video blog with our first reactions. The show was great because for the first time we saw Lightning McQueen, Mater and the crew of Disney/Pixar’s Cars perform high-speed stunts (not really!) and race across the ice like! Shame they were on stage for only a short while. But I suppose they…
There’s less than a week to go before Snoopy And Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie zooms into cinemas. And that means there’s still time for some more Peanuts fun with another of our special video guides.
If you enjoyed making the Snoopy puppet last week, how about building a Red Baron plane? All you need is a wooden clothes peg, iced lolly sticks, paint, paper, scissors and glue.
Christmas can be an expensive time of year but to keep the kids entertained there is a selection of free activities taking place across Canary Wharf, including a visit to Santa’s magical grotto. With entertainment to keep the little ones occupied, it’s a fabulous and festive outing. Visitors are encouraged to make a £2 donation to Richard Hose Children’s Hospice.
Across the shopping areas…
Looking for new Baubles and Christmas decorations every year is one of my favourite activities. With the help of some elves from Dobbies and Tesco I have now identified some trends for this Christmas. You’ll agree with me that images speak more than words.
Sparkle and glitter – The Cinderella Look
With the release of the Disney Cinderella movie, Cinderella will inspire this Christmas…
World Book Day or the School assembly is at the door and you need to make a Viking costume. Sounds familiar? Mums and dads are often called upon to prepare all sorts of historical outfits for their offspring history lessons.
You don’t need to be an expert in Viking history. Maybe you are a fan of the TV series Beowulf and you love Vikings. Just take a look at some of our ideas and you will…
What is it about Advent Calendars that makes them so popular? Where does this tradition come from? I have asked myself these questions and went out to find out where the tradition has started and why we all love it so much. London Mums have also tried to make their own ones and kids club reporters have also provided a list of their favourite Advent Calendars for this Christmas. It’s…
