Super Mario Brothers 1 and 3 were life when I was a teenager. My sister and I spent hours playing on the second hand Nintendo that she bought from a garage sale. More recently, I bought a Nintendo Switch and a new version of Super Mario Bros and I’m enjoying introducing the kids to it. I’m especially loving that its the only game I can still beat my gamer son in!
In this time of Caronvirus and self-isolation I can’t tell you how valuable having our Vuly Ultra trampoline is. We were sent it a few weeks ago for review and we are using it way more than I even expected, now that we can’t go out.
Tully just completed first grade last year and for a lot of kindy and year 1 she was a bit behind the other kids in reading. She was doing ok, but it just felt like it hadn’t ‘clicked’ for her yet. She was struggling with reading with expression and sometimes she took so long to read a paragraph that she didn’t really absorb what had happened in the story, which made comprehension a bit of a struggle sometimes.
It’s back to school time – which means school shoe shopping! This year Tully is heading in to year two and Mylo is starting school – he’s so excited. As we were preparing to do our back to school shopping and keeping an eye out for the bargains, we saw something that made as actually squeal! Our very favourite shoe range, Bobux, is now doing a school shoe range!
One of my biggest fears with parenting is running over a child on my driveway. We all drive such big cars now and it’s so easy to get distracted with phones ringing, kids getting in and out and the rush we are always in. I love my reversing camera, but even that isn’t 100% in keeping kids safe.
Scootering as a family is one of our favourite activities, and we just got Tully a brand new scooter for Christmas. So when I was offered the chance to review Globber Scooters I knew I had to pass them on to a scooterless family. So I organised my for my friend Elana to be sent two for her family.
I’m starting off this MathsOnline review by telling you all that maths and I do not get along. I still count on my fingers, I can no longer do anything without a calculator and I don’t know my timetables. At high school, I did Maths in Practice, where we learnt how to take 10% off shopping items and read a train time table. So, I really wish I had MathsOnline when I was a kid.
For this review, I hand the blog over to Mr Stuff Mums Like, who is in charge of the kitchen in our house!
One of my many hobbies is pointing out to my wife all the times I was ahead of the curve. Mostly when it comes to health and wellness trends. Take any food or health fad you might have seen or heard of recently and I was probably doing it before anyone else. At least that’s my completely unsubstantiated claim. I won’t list all the times I was wrong, because it hurts my argument, but here are the ones I got right.
Ever since I saw the Vuly Play Swing Set I knew we had to have it! We live in a house full of kids. I love downstairs with my three kids (6,18,19) and my sister lives upstairs with her two kids (1,4). Ad well as that, our house is the social hub for all our friends. We are always hosting BBQs, parties, and get-togethers. So, our house is always overflowing with kids of all different ages.
Ever since I watched the Jetsons as a kid I’ve dreamed of having my own robot servant. My sister and I would enter all those newspaper competitions in the 80’s that promised you your own robot – but we never won! Now, with the DEEBOT OZMO 900, I finally have my own! The DEEBOT OZMO 900 is my very own robot vacuum that cleans my house while I’m out. I’m in love.
