Days 152 – 158 of Project 365

Days 152 - 158 of Project 365

152. Neptune's Lair (We had our first day at Legoland where we explored some of our favourite rides, Atlantis is one of them. We didn't turn up until 3pm giving us another three hours there, but finding most people were leaving because they were hot and bothered. Excellent!)

153. Walking Bricks (Doesn't everyone have a walking Lego brick as a friend? I've also been playing with the editing functions on Snapseed, I have fallen in love with it!)

154. Shattered (Two busy days in Legoland, a day back in school, and unsurprisingly he slept like the proverbial. Been a while since I posted a sleeping child photo!)

155. Graduate (Next step in decorating The Boy's bedroom; the dark blue down to sky blue for the space scene.)

156. Stormy Skies (We were heading to the clifftop park after tea when we spotted that there was a mud-dredger on the beach. It turns out it was deliberately beached while they needed to do emergency repairs, but it attracted a lot of attention. We had a good old play around under some thunderous looking clouds before heading to the park as promised.)

157. Leap (The most enormous jump for after-school fun in the garden with the bubble rocket launcher. Slightly Matrix-esque like jump?)

158. Light Of My Life (I made him. Simple.)

Flatbox Lunchbox (Review & Giveaway)

Since The Boy started school in September, I've done my utmost to make lunches a fun and enticing thing. Without me there to cajole him into eating everything, I felt it was important to make eating his food an exciting an activity as chatting to his friends around him; it's the main reason that I make him Bento lunchboxes.

He's very fond of having different shaped lunchboxes and lunchbags, and when we were sent the Flatbox lunchbox for him to review, it soon usurped his other lunchbags as his favourite.

LolliBop 2014 – An Exciting Line-Up

As one of the top children's festivals around, LolliBop offers something for every child. We have been for the past two years and it remains the best day trip we have during the Summer holidays, mainly because of the huge range of activities and shows that The Boy can take part in and watch, all in one day!

This year sees LolliBop in a new home, Hatfield House in Hertfordshire. The new venue is completely befitting such a magical event and will be the perfect place to watch the wonderful line-up planned.

Summer Season Starts

We're incredibly lucky to be able to nip to a beach whenever we feel like it, and in south Wales there is a massive selection of sandy, pebble or rocky beaches to choose from. The local sandy beach is Barry Island and fortunately it's a gloriously wide expanse of sand deemed worthy of a blue flag for cleanliness.
