"I didn't <u>walk out</u> on our son, I walked out on <strike>you</strike>"<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
For 11 long months I have tried to make you parent. For 11 long months I have tried to keep a relationship open for you and our son. For 11 long months I have gone above and beyond to facilitate any contact you wanted with our son. For 11 long months I have put my own happiness last to try and allow you the option to raise our son 50/50 with me. Isn't it sad that you feel our son isn't enough for you to step up and do any of these things without me having to "nag".<br /><br /><div>
In the media you hear so many stories from fathers who are being kept away from their children. In the media you hear so many stories from fathers saying they get the raw end of the deal when a couple with children split. Mothers are called the most awful names. Words like weapon, unfit, narcissist, user, manipulator get thrown around.... yet here I am exhausted from caring because all I want is for my sons father to actually try.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Isn't it sad that in 2019 a parent can take another parent to court due to regular access being denied to them yet in 2019 I am unable to take a parent to court because I want them to have regular access to their child. Apparently in the eyes of the law "you can't make someone parent". Although this fact is true, isn't it sad that I have had to even think or look down this legal route to try and allow my son a good relationship with his father.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How am I still sat here saying that my son's father has managed to see his son for less than 10 hours this week? I will never understand this man. I allow as much access as possible however access only works around his life. When will this man realise work isn't a priority. A new flame isn't a priority. Friends are not a priority. His main priority should be the child he has had in his life for 7 years. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The weeks that pass him by are weeks where he is missing key moments from his sons life because other opportunities that he feels are important get in the way. As a parent he is missing the happy times, the bad times, the tears, the laughs, the smiles and most importantly every moment that passes is a chance for a memory to be created that he is missing out on. When our son grows up I want his childhood to be blessed with 2 parents in his memories, not just one. I feel helpless.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My sons father manages to make plenty of excuses into why he doesn't do something yet can't make excuses as to why he can do something.<br />
<br />
With the words ringing in my ears <span style="text-align: center;">"I didn't walk out on our son, I walked out on you" it is pretty clear this is not the case. For 11 long months I have tried to make my sons father parent however I know I can't make him. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Do not</u> feel sorry for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who really got the raw end of the deal here?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I lost him. A lying, using, manipulative, abusive human.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>and... </b></u><br />
He <u>lost</u> me.</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From a young age some little girls dream of that fairy tale that so many films portray. They want that happy ending that they see in Disney films and want to be swept off their feet. They dream of a beautiful home, a wedding filled with amazing memories, a good job with a decent salary and a happy family. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From a young age that is all I wanted. I grew up in a beautiful family home filled with happiness, memories and a family who stuck together. My whole life changed when I was 19. At the age of 18 I met Maxwell's father. After a whirlwind start to our relationship, I found out that I was pregnant with our son. I knew as soon as I found out that I was pregnant that there was no way I could not keep this tiny human who was growing inside me and a day before my 20th Birthday, I gave birth to our beautiful son. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the first year of Maxwell's life, everything was pretty rosy. Mine and Maxwell's dads relationship was fiery at times however it was also loving. Often our arguments would be swept under the carpet and everything would be fine. After a while though, the arguments started to eat away at our relationship and the relationship soon turned into something which I did not want it to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Every day I longed for the relationship to change. I longed for things to get better but I knew deep down without the other person wanting to change, the relationship could not change. I offered to go to counselling. I offered for us to live separate lives for a while. I offered more than I wanted to give but I was happy to do it to keep my family together. There were points where Maxwell and I were cheated on. There were points where we were picked up and left where things got too "hard" yet I allowed these things to happen and I allowed things to return to "normal" when Maxwell's father clicked his fingers.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You see... I feel like we live in a generation where there are so many young parents that have split and there are so many solo parents navigating their way through life. I didn't want to be another young women thrown on the scrap heap with the phrase next to their name of "kids having kids". I wanted to be different. I wanted to be that person who rode the storm when it came to their relationship problems but worked through them and got their happy ever after. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I think there is only so much wanting and praying that can happen in a relationship. After a while, our relationship soon turned into something which I never imagined I would have to live my daily life as. It turned into a relationship where I felt trapped, controlled and abused. I was controlled financially, I was made to feel like I was worthless, I was made to feel like a ugly, horrible human being. I felt I had no support in my life, I had no confidence and I felt I had little happiness yet the person who was ruining my life had all the support I could possibly give them. There was not a thing I would not have done for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There were days where I did not want to get up. There were days I felt I could not face the world. There were days where I felt like leaving everything behind but no matter how hard things got, I always knew there was a little boy who relied on me and he was my main focus and to this day, he still is.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In 2017 after 6 years of my relationship with Maxwell's dad, I decided enough was enough and I needed to do things for me. I was at an all time low and I needed to escape from being just "Maxwell's mum". I knew I had a brain and I wanted my brain to be put to good use. A full time stay at home role was not the path I wanted to carry on taking. I completed my Digital Mums course. I lost weight. I learnt to drive. I did all 3 things for me to better my life and to make me feel not so worthless. At no opportunity did my son's Father ever say well done to me. At no point did he ever try and support me. At no point did he ever support me with any help with childcare. At this point I knew enough was enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Christmas 2017 was the final time I got to see my son's fathers true colours in the relationship I was stuck in. It is a day I will never forget nor forgive. It was the day where the green light went off in me and I was done fighting for our relationship. Christmas 2017 was ruined by a drunk, abusive controlling person. I don't know who that person was any more and it wasn't a person who I could see my future with. That day I realised that the person I once loved no longer loved me. He had no respect for me and if he was capable of the actions he showed that day, what was he capable of next?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After that day everything was lost and there was little going back. There was no more fighting, there was no more talking, I was drained. I had no more fight left in me to try any more and I found that the person who was meant to care the most actually cared about his family unit the least. Eventually a argument about what I was cooking for dinner tore our relationship apart and Maxwell's Dad upped and left our family home without any explanation to me or his son. In my heart of hearts I did not need an explanation. The love had gone and there was nothing left to fight for.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first couple of weeks on my own were the hardest. I did not know how I was going to manage on my own but looking back, I had been doing it on my own for 7 and a half years. The only help I had in that time from Maxwell's father was financially. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My future looked so bleak. It looked pointless. It looked like there was no happiness to be found..<br />
<br />
Little did I know what was round the corner for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
<b>Once upon a time, I said I would <strike>not stop</strike> blogging. Then everything changed.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
As we entered 2018, from the outside it looked like I had it all, little did people know I felt unhappy, depressed and sad about my life. A few short months after, I became a single parent overnight, unexpectedly. At the time I felt like I had lost everything. I felt I was unable to talk about everything that had and was happening to me and I felt scared about my future.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>They say time is a healer... now I am back on a beautiful journey. Over the last few months I have grown into a stronger person, I have started doing things for me, I say yes to making plans more times than I say no and I am enjoying every adventure I have ridden on. At times I feel lost, I feel scared and I feel hurt by peoples actions and their behaviour however I know deep down, everything happens for a reason.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>As the months have gone by I have done more things for me.</b></div>
<br />
I am in employment. This is one thing that I longed for. I was bought up in a working class family and since the age of 16 I always worked however when Maxwell was born, I was forced to quit work. For several years I begged my son's Dad to look after our son, to help with childcare and allow me to work part time, however due to his actions, I was left as a stay at home parent whilst my son's Father was the "breadwinner" of the family. At the time of mine and Maxwell's Dad's split, I had very little income. Fortunately a few short months after Maxwell's father left us, a job opportunity came up meaning that I am now able to work 5 days a week. My job is a short drive away from my home and it allows me to do school pick ups in the afternoon. Although it isn't my dream job, I work with some brilliant people and I love the work routine that I have got myself into. I feel satisfied knowing that I am working hard to put food on my son's table and keep a roof over our heads.<br />
<br />
My weight loss journey? That has continued and I have now lost over 3 and a half stone. Slimming World became my best friend over a number of months and this year, I was voted Young Slimmer Of The Year. I never dreamt of scooping up such an nomination and I never dreamed of winning such a award. I can not explain how thrilled I was to actually win. The fact people believed in me, believed in my weight loss journey and believed in my story, meant everything and more.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My <strike>personal</strike> life? I guess that will follow on from this post.</b></div>

In December we celebrated Maxwell's 6th Birthday party. Prior to Maxwell having his Birthday party, we saved up £120 so we could give Maxwell a full birthday party with 10 friends. After a lot of thought we decided that we could put this money to better use and perhaps use it to go on a Sun Holiday in 2018 so I spent the next week looking around for the best deal for a Birthday party that would be cheaper and would use less of our budget.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
After a week of scouring the internet, I came up with a plan. We decided that we would use £17 worth of Tesco Clubcard points we had saved over the year and exchange them for £52 worth of bowling vouchers. This in turn meant we had to find £23 plus a booking fee to pay for a £75 basic weekend party at a bowling local venue for Maxwell and 5 of his friends.<br />
<br />
Included in the £75 party package was unlimited juice and a meal for Maxwell and 5 of his friends however party bags and cake was not included in this price. This in turn lead me to try and find the cheapest deal on these.<br />
<br />
I have always been the type of parent who can not stand the plastic items you often get in a party bag, instead I try to give less but give more quality. Over the past 2 years I have always given children books from places such as <a href="http://www.topcashback.co.uk/share/Knightwoodroad/the-book-people">The Book People</a> or I have gone to Poundland to get books however this time around I felt I could try and spend less and I set about trying to find something suitable that would cost less than £1. After a week of searching in local shops in my town, I struck gold when I visited our local Poundstretcher.<br />
<br />
I first visited our local Poundstretcher to try and find some books to give out instead of party bags however I found that their range was very limited and expensive. Whilst browsing, I did notice that they did have some stationary products which were buy one get one free. Knowing I was onto a winner, I looked at all the items which were listed in the stationary offer and found sets which were suitable for 6 year old boys. We found huge Star Wars sticker packs which were full of stickers, pads and fun for just £1. Due to the buy one, get one free offer, I managed to get 6 packs in total for just £3. Not content on giving just a sticker set to Maxwell's friends I also decided to buy 12 packs of mini Haribo for £1 at our local supermarket meaning I was able to give 2 small packets of sweets with each sticker book.<br />
<br />
Since Maxwell started having Birthday parties, we have always purchased cakes from our local bakers. We have always loved the fact that we have been able to design them and they have all been special for Maxwell to relate to however this year we felt that a £60 cake bill was not something that we needed so instead we opted for a simple <a href="https://www.ocado.com/webshop/quickReg.do?from=fb_invite&reference_id=aiH8LY7PgocqOtFoBEf76hYe_1367">Caterpillar Cake from Ocado</a>. Not only was it £7 to start with, it was reduced to £3.50 on the week we needed it meaning we were able to provide Maxwell with a Birthday cake for just £3.50. We were worried Maxwell would be upset that the cake was not as amazing as other years however we did not need to worry as Maxwell was thrilled with our cake choice and we were thrilled that we had saved over £50.<br />
<br />
Maxwell's full Birthday party cost us just under £35 in cash. I was thrilled that we managed to save over £85 of our original budget that we set out to use for Maxwell's Birthday party. No one but us knew how little Maxwell's party cost us however Maxwell's party was fun, helped him build lots of memories and was a party which all his friends enjoyed.<br />
<br />
Birthday parties do not need to cost the earth. Would you opt for the type of Birthday party we held for Maxwell?Helen Dickinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11909966457102307864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233948022865817176.post-78214679909899244122018-01-05T23:52:00.000+00:002018-01-08T23:53:41.572+00:00Why I Took A Year Off Writing My Blog<div style="text-align: center;">

2017 was a year which I loved, hated and created so many memories in. I learnt new life skills, I made improvements to change my career and I made other changes to improve my health. However all those things took a lot of my time up. I neglected my blog and as we enter 2018, I promise that I will start spreading more love on you. I miss writing on you, I miss working with fabulous people who help me make this blog what it is and I miss the readers who make me want to continue to write this blog. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a run down on why I took a year off my blog..... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In late 2016 I got an amazing call and I knew when I got that call, I was being handed something that could potentially improve my families life. I was accepted on to the Digital Mums course. Having spent so many hours on social media, I knew this was a course I wanted to complete and I knew I would have the love and time to spend on the course however at the same time I knew that my blog would have to take a back seat. I did not realise at the time how much time it would take up however it was something I was keen to complete and something I wanted to see through. I knew if I was able to graduate the course, I would be able to get a new qualification, gain a new skill and create a better life for me and my family.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At the start of 2017 we found out that my Dad had beaten cancer however we were dealt with a horrible blow just a few short weeks later when we found out that my Dad had Myasthenia Gravis. My Dad was terribly ill at the start of the New Year and he continued to deteriorate. My Dad was taken into hospital and at the time he was given just 2 weeks to live. Whilst he battled in intensive care, I felt helpless, worried and scared. Those few weeks were the worst weeks of my life. My Dad was just 65, he was too young to leave us and how would we all cope without him? My Dad battled and he battled hard. My Dad managed to pull through and over time, he has learnt to live with the horrible illness which seems to try and rule his life however he has stayed strong and is a true inspiration to so many. He has good days and bad days but he is not letting the illness take him down without a fight. I am so proud that he is entering 2018 with us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whilst my Dad was in hospital, I relied on lifts from Ben to take me to the hospital. I felt helpless when I was unable to take my Mum up to the hospital as she is unable to drive and I felt even more helpless knowing that I could learn to drive and I had the time to take her to the places she needed to go whilst other family members were at work. This made me determined to learn to drive. In July 2017 I managed to pass my driving test first time. Learning to drive has opened up so many different opportunities to me and is a skill which I only wish I had learnt to do earlier. It allowed me to make some fantastic memories with Maxwell over the summer holidays and it continues to allow me to have my own freedom but also create plenty more memories with Maxwell.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2017 I lost over 2 stone. Since having Maxwell I have struggled with my weight however I knew something had to change at the start of 2017. I had lost all my confidence. I was scared to go out, I was scared to have my picture taken, I was scared that people were talking behind my back. I hated everything about me and I hated my reflection. I grew to realise I was the only person who could change these thoughts so in early 2017 I started going to Slimming World. In the first 4 months I lost over 2 stone however as Digital Mums ate into my free time and the summer holidays hit, I stopped going to Slimming World and piled 12lb back on in 5 months. In November I knew something had to change and I hit Slimming World again. Since returning in November I have lost over a stone. 2018 is going to be the year I hit my target weight and become the person I want to become. I can't wait to start writing more about my Slimming World journey. I hope I can inspire others.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2017 saw me become a Mum to a 6 year old. Maxwell made me continuously proud in 2017 but the highlight of my year was seeing Maxwell stand up so bravely on stage and take one of the main roles in the Christmas play. Only in 2015 was Maxwell attending speech school and was unable to speak a basic sentence. Since then, Maxwell has come on leaps and bounds and I am so proud of him. He continues to blossom, try his best and is such a caring, magical, happy little boy. I can not wait to see how 2018 shapes him.</div>
<div>

<div>
2018, please be kind to us. We promise to try and be kind to you. </div>

Mummy To The Max blog, I am back. Lets smash 2018.<br />

<br />
At Christmas, Maxwell never often ask's for many items. He has a few items which he says he would like however I know if we do not manage to get them for Maxwell he will understand and ask for them at a later date. This year Maxwell asked for a robot. Having looked around on Google and at Amazon reviews I found searching for one quite a tricky procedure. I was unsure what was worth the money and what robot included the best features, be suitable for his age and last however when I saw the Xtrem Bots Tropper Bot on Amazon I knew I had struck gold when I decided to read the reviews online about it.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Maxwell recently got sent an Xtreme Bot Tropper to review. When the bot arrived I was shocked at the size of it. It was very large, very white and had wires coming out of him. Due to how plastic looking he was I was wondering if he was worth the price tag however as soon as we had set our Xtreme Bot Tropper up, I knew instantly he was worth the price tag and would provide so much fun to any one who met him.<br />
<br />
Aimed at children 5+ the Xtreme Bots Tropper Bot is a rechargeable hi-tech robot. The controller runs off 2 AA batteries however the robot is charged via a USB charging cable. To charge the robot you need to ensure he is turned off. You are then able to charge the robot by plugging the cable into his back and then charging the robot off a USB connection. I found that I was able to charge the robot off my laptop. Once the Xtremem Bots Tropper bot is fully charged, you are able to get around 2 hours use from him which I think is amazing. It is lovely to find a product which does not rely on batteries constantly and can be charged using other methods.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Once the Xtreme Bot Tropper Bot is fully charged, you are ready to use him. You are able to turn him on and off on his back however he also features a standby button on his front which you press to activate. If you do not use the bot, after 2 minutes he will go to sleep.<br />
<br />
To start using the bot, you have to use the controller to operate him. At a first glance, the controller looks hard to understand however once you have tried out most of the buttons once, you get a feel for what each button does. I did worry Maxwell would have trouble learning what button did what however he did not have a issue with using the controller either.<br />
<br />
There are a wide range of buttons on the controller however the Xtrem Bots Trooper Bot can:<br />
<br />
Demo – a demonstration of what the Xtrem Bots Trooper Bot can do<br />
<br />
Dance – The Xtrem Bots Trooper Bot will perform a dance and play music<br />
<br />
Robot Speech – The robot will speak in a weird robot language<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Along with these features, the Xtrem Bots Trooper Bot can also move his hands up and down with a range of buttons allowing for this to happen and the Xtrem Bots Trooper Bot can also move around the room with ease thanks to another set of buttons.<br />
<br />
Maxwell's favourite feature on the Xtrem Bots Trooper Bot is that the bot is able to shoot out missiles. There are 5 included with the bot and they are small and soft enough not to injur someone if they are shot at but they are small and nibble to glide through the air and hit smaller day to day items which your child may be interested in shooting. Once the missiles have been shot, they do need reloading which can be done in a matter of seconds.<br />
<br />
<div>
As a family of 3 from the ages of 6 to 29, we have all had fun using the Xtrem Bots Trooper Bot. The Xtrem Bots Trooper Bot is not just for children, he is also suitable for adults to have a lot of fun with. I can see that he will be a firm favourite in our house for a long while and I am so pleased that Maxwell loves his robot. <br />

The Xtrem Bots Trooper Bot is a good quality product which moves well, walks on hard or carpeted surfaces well and is very steady on it's feet. The bot is easy to operate and provides hours of entertainment.<br />

This month I have managed to put together a extensive list which I hope you all enjoy and take advantage of!

Maxwell has always been a fan of Disney. Maxwell has 2 great loves that originate from Disney - Disney Cars and Mickey Mouse. Maxwell can often be found playing with Mickey Mouse toys and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Recently Maxwell was thrilled to receive a Roadster Racers Pit Crew Tool Box to review.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
When Maxwell received the Pit Crew Tool Box he commented on how much it looked like the one Mickey uses in Disney Junior’s Mickey and the Roadster Racers show. The set comes with 23 tools including a mallet, flat head screwdriver, two wrenches, nuts, and nails. Maxwell was thrilled to find that the set also came with a working peg board.<br />

Maxwell loves to fix things and immediately set about trying to unscrew a bolts with a wrench. Maxwell was able to tighten the bolt with ease using the wrench provided. I was unsure if the plastic would be flimsy and I was worried that the plastic would need a lot of pressure added to it to undo things such as the bolt however this was not a issue. The plastic was strong and took Maxwell's strength. The set allows Maxwell to improve his hand and eye coordination.</div>
<br />
<div>
Maxwell was kept entertained by the Roadster Racers Pit Crew Tool Box for around a hour. By the end of his play session, he was able to identify all the parts that were included in the set and tell me which each part did and where it went. It was lovely to see Maxwell use his imagination and at times, pretend to be Mickey.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was nice to see a toy which did not include batteries and was not a toy which was interactive. I feel that the Roadster Racers Set allowed Maxwell's imagination to run wild and he was able to make his own stories up with the set. It is a toy that Maxwell will use again and again and will never get bored of.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like the fact that their is space left in the Roadster Racers Set. The set is not filled to the brim. Due to the space left in the set, Maxwell is able to identify all the parts inside the box without having to dig deep. Having space left in the box also allows Maxwell to add other toys to the set or add little extra parts that he may find round the house to the box.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Roadster Racers set is light and is easy to transport around. This means that Maxwell is able to take it to other people's houses if he wishes to and even pack it for holiday. The set is small enough to store with ease.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Roadster Racers Pit Crew Tool Box is a simple toy which is great to keep the children entertained. It is bright, fun and is perfect for any Mickey Mouse lovers as well as Disney lovers. The tool box set is perfect for children aged from 3 - 6 years old. The <a href="http://amzn.to/2hCvUpc">set has a RRP of £14.99</a> and can be found on Amazon. </div>

Maxwell likes learning. He loves learning about the country that he lives in and he loves learning about the world around him. He adores finding out where other people live, how they live and what is different to their country from ours. Recently Maxwell and I were sent a <a href="http://amzn.to/2iUI9xy">SmartGlobe Adventure to review.</a> Maxwell enjoys learning about the world so this was a very special item to be sent.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Maxwell and I received our new SmartGlobe Adventure and we were thrilled to find that we were able to use it straight away. There was minimal packaging and the globe itself came with batteries in it already which meant we were able to play with the globe without having to fuss with taking battery backs off the toy and inserting batteries into the globe for it to be able to work. This was a huge plus for me as I hate faffing around trying to power up toys before we are able to use them.<br />
<br />
Once unpackaged, we were ready to use the globe. The globe spins on an axis which enables the globe to move with ease and allows it to spin quickly. The globe comes with a special electronic pen. The electronic pen is connected to the globe which is a great feature as this ensures that the electronic pen is not able to get lost.<br />
<br />
The electronic pen which is connected to the SmartGlobe is easy to use. You simply use the pen to point and touch one of the 25 games that are located on the SmartGlobe's stand, you then touch a country with your pen to either play a game or find out facts about the country you have picked with your pen.<br />

<br /></div>
Maxwell adored finding information out about the United Kingdom but he also loved finding information out about places such as America, Australia and China. The globe is detailed and bright in colour which is very appealing to children playing with the globe. There are a wide range of topics to learn about and lots of games to complete which makes learning fun! The globe is not a toy which is picked up and put down. The globe is a toy which gets hours of use in our house and is a toy which will continue to get hours of use as Maxwell grows.<br />
<br />
I feel that the globe will go on to help Maxwell complete his homework as he grows older. With activities that allow Maxwell to learn currencies, population, history and geography, the SmartGlobe Adventure AR toy guarantees to give its user a whole load of wisdom.<br />
<br />
The SmartGlobe Adventure AR features augmented reality. This allows the user to download a dedicated app which works with the globe from the Apple or Google play store. Once the app is downloaded anyone who uses the SmartGlobe whilst on the app will be able to see landscapes, animals, landmarks and even dinosaurs. This feature is amazing and it is something which Maxwell loved. The AR feature really makes this globe different to many others.<br />
<br />
The globe is a good size however it is a size which makes it easy to pack away if you are looking to do this. Personally we recently transformed Maxwell's bedroom into a space themed room so we feel that the globe makes a fantastic feature.<br />
<br />
Maxwell and I love the SmartGlobe Adventure AR and we would opt into buying this globe over a globe which has no interactive features. The SmartGlobe Adventure AR is a toy which is educational and fun. I feel Maxwell will get a lot of use out of it so I feel that the price is fairly cheap considering all the features that the globe comes with. Overall this toy gets a massive thumbs up from us.<br />

Last week Maxwell and I managed to pack plenty of memories into our half term. We visited some fabulous places but we also managed to spend time together at home and with our family. Maxwell, Ben and I were fortunate to be sent the Anki OVERDRIVE Starter Kit. As soon as we received it, we knew that not only would it be perfect for our uses at home, but also my parents uses. We decided to take the Anki OVERDRIVE over to their house so we could all test it out together.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div>
The set up of the Anki OVERDRIVE was very easy to complete. To start off with, we simply put the track together. This took a matter of minutes thanks to the "Flextracks" which the Anki OVERDRIVE starter kit comes with. We all remarked on how easy the track was to put together. The "Flextracks" fit together with magnets meaning they are fully removable if you are looking to change the track shape or even add extra track into your set up.<br />
<br />

After we had put the Anki OVERDRIVE track together, we had to charge our cars up so we were able to start play. The cars are not battery powered and instead are rechargeable. The Anki OVERDRIVE Starter kit comes with 2 cars as well as a charger for the cars. Each car lasts around 20-30 minutes before it needs to be recharged. The cars then take around 8 minutes to charge. Inside the box, you have a choice of charging ends, this means that you are able to take the Anki OVERDRIVE to many countries with you and still be able to play it.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Whilst we patiently waited for the cars to charge, we downloaded the OVERDRIVE app. You will need this app to play Anki OVERDRIVE so it is important that you have a device or several devices (if you want to play multiplayer) that works alongside the app. We downloaded the Anki OVERDRIVE app onto a Kindle, Samsung Galaxy and a iPhone. We have had no issues with using the app on any of these devices. The setup of the app is very easy and we found that the game downloaded to a Samsung Galaxy without needing wifi, we were able to use our mobile data to download the app although if you plan to do this, please note the app is very large. To start off with I downloaded the wrong app - I downloaded the Fast and Furious Anki OVERDRIVE app however I realised my mistake and went on to download the correct app from the Appstore. Please note the Fast and Furious app will not work alongside the Anki OVERDRIVE starter set. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Once the cars were charged and the app was set up, we were ready to play. First of all we took part in some training tasks and then we went on to race one another whilst playing multiplayer. We found that it was easy to set up a multiplayer game and we were able to connect the cars very quickly. Before the cars race, they go around the track and memorise the track so they are able to race around it. I was surprised to see how well the cars managed to memorise the track and I loved seeing how the cars stuck to the track when we raced one another. The cars barely left the track. It was great to pass one another and it was fun to see who would be crowned the winner after each race.<br />

<div>
Anki OVERDRIVE starter set comes with basic instructions. Inside the instructions you are able to see that the set requires you to carry out basic maintenance meaning that you need to wipe clean the track after each use as well as clean the tyres of the car. The set comes with a special pad which cleans the tyres of the cars which I think is a nice touch. I feel that maintaining this set is an easy task to complete once you have used the Anki OVERDRIVE and essential to do to keep the set in fantastic condition.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Anki OVERDRIVE is not just for children or car enthusiasts. The Anki OVERDRIVE is fun for all ages and sexes. My mum and I had as much fun as my dad and Maxwell when playing with the Anki OVERDRIVE, we were just as competitive as both of them also. I feel the Anki OVERDRIVE is a toy and a game which brings everyone together when it is played.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
The <a href="http://amzn.to/2A2ThfV">Anki OVERDRIVE starter kit</a> is available for £149.99 which I think is a very reasonable price for the product. For that price you are getting the latest technology and a toy which will bring hours of entertainment. I can see the Anki OVERDRIVE being on many Christmas Lists this Christmas. Did you know that you can improve and build your starter kit by <a href="http://amzn.to/2hnQyGe">buying additional sets and cars?</a><br />

PJ Masks is a TV show on Disney Junior. Over the summer, Maxwell fell in love with the show. PJ Masks follows the fun tales of friends, Connor, Amaya and Greg who change into their alter-egos Catboy, Owlette and Gekko at night and become PJ Masks. They use their special powers to defend their town.<div>

Maxwell was recently sent the PJ Masks Headquarters set. The play-set from Just Play is brand new for Autumn 2017. Having seen it recently seen it in our local supermarket I knew as soon as Maxwell laid eyes on it, he would be excited. <div>

As soon as the PJ Masks Headquarters set arrived, Maxwell jumped straight into play. The PJ Masks Headquarters comes in a large box and at the beginning I was worried about how long it would take me to set up. However the set up of the toy was easy and quick and I was surprised at how easy the instructions were to follow. I was also happy to see that the PJ Masks Headquarters set did not require me to add any batteries to it as it came with batteries already fitted.<br />
<br />
The PJ Masks Headquarters is set out over three levels. It features lights, sounds and comes with Cat Boy and Cat Boy’s car. Maxwell was a little disappointed to see that only 1 car and 1 figure were provided however you are able to buy figures separately if you are looking for other figures to play with.<br />

<br />
Through play Maxwell was excited to find a shooting fur ball, training rings for Cat Boy to perform on, a lift to move from level to level on, moveable trees to catch any villains, googles for owl vision, a slide for Cat Boy to slide on and music and lights for Cat Boy and Maxwell to enjoy.<br />
<br />
The PJ Masks Headquarters is built well and I feel it is built to last. In the past, we have been sent plastic toys which often break as the plastic is quite flimsy however this is not the case with this toy. The plastic is solid. As a parent I also love the fact that the Pj Mask Headquarters is brightly coloured.<br />

<br />
Maxwell loves the PJ Masks Headquarters set. He has spent hours playing with it. Maxwell has been able to use his imagination with the set and create situations that are inspired by his favourite TV show. He has hummed away to the theme tune of PJ Masks more times than I care to remember and he has managed to destroy lots of baddies which he has found around the home to join his PJ Mask crew.<br />
<br />
This set is <a href="http://amzn.to/2gaLgAG">priced at £49.99</a> which I do think is quite pricey for a set of its kind however if your child is a huge PJ Mask fan, I feel the cost becomes a little irrelevant when you are asked to buy the set for a Christmas or Birthday present.<br />

Overall Maxwell and I love this set. We feel it is a great contender for the top spot on the Toy Christmas Wishlist 2017!<br />

Last month I told you that I had been purchasing magazine subscriptions for a short while so I could take advantage of the free gift which came with the magazine. Over the past month I have bagged myself items such as electricals, homeware accessories, makeup and gift sets. Here is a run down on the best magazine subscriptions in October. This month I have managed to put together a extensive list which I hope you all enjoy and take advantage of! Please remember if the offer includes cash back, you need to go through <a href="http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/Knightwoodroad">Topcashback</a> first as this is the best way to get any cash back money to track. If you have not signed up to Topcashback yet, ensure you do.</div>

Maxwell is a huge fan of anything Disney. His favourite character happens to be Mickey Mouse. Maxwell was recently excited to be sent the c to review. Being a fan of tracks and cars, I knew this was going to be one of his favourite reviews to complete.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The Mickey Roadster Super Training Track was easy to set up. Inside the box, there were 3 separate bags of track and included in one of the bags, you were able to find a information booklet. On the booklet you were able to find instructions on how to set up the track. Each piece of track was numbered and lettered which meant that the set up was very easy. In total the set up of the track took around 20 minutes. This included the time taken to apply the stickers to the track.<br />
<br />

Once the track was built, we were able to see that it was very sturdy and bright. It was very appealing to the eye. Maxwell went straight ahead and got the cars into position so he was able to play with the track straight away. Maxwell got the 2 cars which came with the track into position using the moveable lift and then allowed his cars to wait at the traffic lights to start. After the count of 3, the cars were pushed onto the track thanks to a flipper switch and Maxwell and I waited in anticipation to see which car would win the race. The track is 100cm long. This means that the race to the bottom between the 2 cars which the set comes with is fast and furious and there is no telling who is going to win.<br />
<br />
The set comes with Mickey and Pete. Mickey comes in his Hot Dogging Hot Rod and Pete in his Super Crusher. Maxwell loved playing with the 2 cars which came with the set however he also went on to play with other cars in his collection. We found that all types of cars work well on the track which is a huge bonus for us as it brings a whole load of fun to the Mickey Roadster Super Training Track.<br />

As a parent, I feel this toy would make a fantastic Christmas or Birthday present. It is a toy which is simple to play with however, it creates hours of entertainment. As a parent, it is nice to see a toy which does not require batteries and it is nice to see that Mickey Mouse is back and is back in a fun way.<br />
<br />
You can purchase the Mickey Roadster Super Training Track on <a href="http://amzn.to/2yzL5m0">Amazon and the track</a> has a RRP of £39.99. Will this toy be on your child's Wishlist this year?<br />

Recently Maxwell was sent a fantastic new set to try out, something which he had not played with before. Maxwell was sent a Kinetic Rock Crusher set. Maxwell loves anything associated with moving vehicles and construction which the Kinetic Rock Crusher set was themed as. I was excited to see his thoughts on the set which we had been sent.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
As soon as the Kinetic Rock arrived, Maxwell got his hands on the box and set up the set with a little help from his Daddy. Inside the box, Maxwell was able to find: 340g of kinetic rock, 1 dump truck, 1 bucket, 1 rock crusher, 1 character figurine, 1 rock mould, 1 tool, 1 sign, 1 transformable sand box and a instruction guide. Due to there being a fabulous amount of bits in the box, the set was ready to be used straight away and I knew it would create hours of play.<br />
<br />
Maxwell sat playing with the Kinetic rock quietly. Maxwell was amazed with the rock. He loved being able to shape the rock with the crusher. He was able to use the shaped rock on play road which was found inside the Kinetic Rock Crusher box. Whilst he had fun with the rock, the character from the set had fun driving the dump truck and having a rocky adventure. Unfortunately through play, the rock crusher did snap in half. The bottom stand disconnected from the top and we were unable to fix this however despite this, it did not affect Maxwell's play.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLRl-GgDtRj8g9HbESrEwCNcM0G4jFl3Vmt9Heiaijrek02HgB8viKD1GfjTUAwP0FEq47sz2R-GT539erIaCanvlAI3kepmSKSuXJka7db63IpDGYbgr3wwan1MhfuRvtEuh1P5DUkqw/s1600/kinect+rock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="528" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLRl-GgDtRj8g9HbESrEwCNcM0G4jFl3Vmt9Heiaijrek02HgB8viKD1GfjTUAwP0FEq47sz2R-GT539erIaCanvlAI3kepmSKSuXJka7db63IpDGYbgr3wwan1MhfuRvtEuh1P5DUkqw/s320/kinect+rock.jpg" width="234" /></a></div>
<br />
When it was time to pack away the Kinetic rock, we did find a little bit of mess however due to the rock particles being quite large, we found that the Kinetic rock was easy to identify on the floor meaning it was easy to tidy up. We were also able to roll the existing Kinetic Rock which Maxwell was playing with into a ball and roll the ball along the table to pick any stray pieces of rock up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Something I love about this set is that it can be used over and over again and the rock does not dry up. It is a great toy to set imaginations wild and it is a toy which can be used throughout the year. The Kinetic Rock Crush has a <a href="http://amzn.to/2ywfLEB">RRP of £19.99</a> which I think is good due to the amount of pieces which the set comes with.<br />
<br />

<br />
The creators, Spinmaster who created Kinetic Rock Crusher also sell <a href="http://amzn.to/2fB23wk">add on packs for the set.</a> Spinmaster sell add on packs of 170g of Kinetic Rock. Each add on pack contains a construction accessory. I think this is a fantastic idea as it allows children to increase their Kinetic Rock collection by being able to add little extras to their set with their pocket money.<br />
<br />
Maxwell had previously been <a href="http://www.mummytothemax.co.uk/2016/11/kinetic-sand-box-sandcastle-review.html">sent Kinetic Sand</a> to review. You can check our review out to see how the sand was different from the rock. Maxwell and I love both sets and this year, we think they would make a fantastic treat for Christmas!<br />

A few months ago, our household got caught up in the Fidget Spinner craze. Maxwell spent many hours perfecting his Fidget Spinner tricks however over the last week, Maxwell has moved onto something else. Maxwell has moved onto the <a href="http://www.mokuru.com/" rel="nofollow">MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy.</a><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Launched today in the UK the MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy is set to take over the UK. The MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy is a wooden desk toy - lightweight Beech wood peg with rubber ends, engineered to test a person's focus. The toy is built perfectly so it has a fantastic balance. The toy is a perfect toy to learn flips and tricks and learning to do these things takes time and a lot of patience. The MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy helps improve concentration and hand-eye coordination skills for individuals of all ages.<br />
<br />
The design of the MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy is sharp and sleek. At first when using the toy, I thought that the toy may get damaged easily however the toy is built well and so far, the toy has not got one mark on it through play. The MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy comes in a range of colours. You are able to pick bright colours and plain colours however the black and red design which we were sent is our favourite colour combination.<br />
<br />
The MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy is a toy which can be taken on holiday, shoved in a bag to take to school and a toy which can be used at home. Due to its small size, it is a toy which is never going to take a lot of room up. The MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy is a toy which would be fantastic for multi play and a toy which is suitable for all ages to have fun with. It is also a toy which is not messy and a toy which does not require batteries.<br />
<br />
The MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy is a toy which will bring entertainment to its owner each time it is used. Every time you use the MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy, you are not guaranteed to be able to perform a trick or move the same as you have created before.<br />
<br />
As a parent I found the toy easy to use and I found it was easy to explain to Maxwell how to use the MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy. As a 5 year old Maxwell adores the toy and it is a toy which he will use over and over again. When Maxwell uses the toy, he is determined to carry on using it until he has managed to perform a trick he wants to create.<br />
<br />
Overall as a family, the MOKURU Desk Fidget Toy is a toy which all of our family love and we feel this toy will bring a lot of entertainment to other families. When buying this toy, ensure that you get <a href="https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/search/?text=mokuru">the official one</a>. There are a lot of fakes currently on the market.<br />
<br />

If there is one thing in life I hate, it is spiders. I have a huge fear of the little creatures. When Maxwell was small, he would often get rid of spiders for us however over the last few years he has also grown a small fear of them. Recently we have found lots of spiders in the house. It is the season for them to appear however this year I am armed with a new gadget to stop them right in their tracks.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Recently we were sent a Spider Catcher from Brainstorm. The idea of it is to help remove household spiders and insects. The concept of the catcher is very cool. The catcher has a trigger handle and once pressed open, you are able to capture insects or spiders which you may not want to share your house with. The insects and spiders are captured in a soft brush which is built not to hurt what you capture. The design of the catcher is easy to use however if you press the trigger handle once you have caught the spider or insect, you risk the issue of your insect or spider running away.<br />
<div>

<div>
The spider catcher comes with a fake spider. This allows you to practice catching things with your catcher before you need to do it on a real life, insect or spider. Being able to practice catching things gave me peace of mind. I knew that if the catcher could hold a plastic spider, it would be able to catch a real spider which weighs a lot less.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The catcher comes with a little hook which allows you to place in a cupboard meaning that you are able to store the catcher away with ease. The catcher also comes with a plastic cone type protection lid for the soft brush when the catcher is not in use. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The catcher is long which means you do not have to get close to spiders or insects. This is a huge plus for me. I know if I am able to leave a space between me and the spider or insect I am catching, I am less likely to scream or freak out.</div>

<div>
Using the spider catcher gives me peace of mind. I know I am able to grab anything I may want to catch with ease. It is nice to not have the thought of killing insects and spiders which in fact actually help the environment. It is also nice not to have to kill them with chemicals. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The spider catcher is perfect for all the family to use and can bring a whole load of fun to any home. Not only is it perfect to use to catch spiders and insects with, it is perfect to have fun with.The spider catcher is priced at just £11.99 and you can purchase <a href="http://amzn.to/2gY3cP1">it from Amazon</a>.</div>

<br />
At the start of last year, I accompanied Maxwell to the school gates feeling nervous, scared and worried. Not only was I scared about my son starting school but I also felt awkward towards all the other parents there. I hated meeting anyone different and I always felt people were judging me.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div>
As a young Mum, I often felt other people looked down their noses at me. I felt that because I was a young Mum, people would think I would be a young stereotypical mum that they would hear negative stories in the news and press and pass judgement. I felt they would think I was not interested in Maxwell's education, I was the type of Mum to leave handing forms in to last minute and I was the type of Mum who would never come in and help at school events. All my thoughts at the start of the school year could not be further from the truth. Over the past year, I have made plenty of friends at the school gates. I am no longer scared to talk to any of the parents, grandparents or childminders at the school gates and I have made friends with many.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a young mum, I feel the stereotypical persona is still present, but not by many. We live in an area with many backgrounds and at our school gates, all these backgrounds are accepted. Maybe I am lucky, however our community isn't made up of "if the face fits". Many people accept you for who you are.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moving on to Year 1, Maxwell's class has now been split up. Not only am I going to miss the children in Maxwell's class, I am going to miss the school run, the playground chatter and the familiar faces I have seen and spoken to in the last year however I am also excited at the concept of meeting new people and making friends in them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moving on to September, if you are an adult in the playground and spot that somebody on their own, talk to them, smile at them and engage with them. You never know the reason why they may not want to approach you. Everyone want's to be sociable, sometimes some just need a helping hand. </div>

<br /><u> Tell me a little bit about you and your family?</u><br />We're a young family from Kent. Both 25, we've been together since we were 16 and are proud parents of Autumn who is fast approaching a year old.<br /><br /><u> When did you start blogging and what is your niche?</u>I've actually been blogging on and off for 12 years. However, I started this blog and started taking blogging seriously in January 2017.<br /><br /><u> What is your attitude towards money – are you a spender or a saver?</u>I'm definitely more of a saver. However, when it comes to my daughter I'm not very good at saving!<br /><br /><u> Have you ever taken part in any money saving challenges? Where they successful?</u>I've done a sealed pot challenge, where you put loose change in a pot for a year. I saved £300 or so, which paid for that year's Christmas presents.<br /><br /><u> What is the best bargain you have bought this year?</u>I got a great haul of clothes for Autumn in a Morrisons sale a couple of weeks ago!<br /><br /><u>What is the best budget day out in your area?</u>A picnic by Rochester Castle and a walk around Rochester High Street and the parks. It's a wonderful day out. The castle isn't too expensive either.<br /><br /><u>How do you budget for big occasions like Christmas & Birthdays?</u>I try to put away a certain amount of money each month so that it isn't such a big issue when December comes. Most of our friends and family's birthdays are in December and early January, so we have even more need to be prepared!<br /><br /><u>Have you got any money saving targets to complete in the next year?</u>I've found it difficult being on maternity leave, having such little income and no income for the last three months. As such, the biggest target at the moment is probably having nothing on either of our credit cards! I'd like to do another sealed pot challenge too, with the goal of saving over £200.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions Laura, I loved hearing about your family life. It is fantastic that you have done a sealed pot challenge. I have never done this but would love to do one in the future! Good luck with your next saving goal.<br />

We were recently sent the new Dynamite Dare game to review. With Maxwell on the school summer holidays, Maxwell and I have been spending lots of time together. As a parent I love spending time with Maxwell and I know Maxwell enjoys spending time with me. Throughout the summer holidays we have been playing lots of games and Dynamite Dare has been a game which we have played with often.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Once Dynamite Dare arrived, Maxwell and I put together the game. I found that the set up of the game was very easy to complete. All we had to do was simply add a few stickers to the game and add 2 plastic arms to the game. The set up of the game took a matter of minutes which made a change from many other games Maxwell and I had been playing through the holidays.<br />
<br />
The aim of the game is simple. Dynamite Dare is a game where you need to stop the time bomb detonating in order to win - Diffuse or lose! Players take it in turns to flip down one of the many fuses, with the hope of finding the one fuse that will stop the bomb. The game is a game which is fun yet keeps players of the game on the edge of their seats. Dynamite Dare is a fast paced challenge, and slightly addictive.<br />

<div>
Dynamite Dare is a ideal game for our family to play with as the game is often kept very short due to the simple game play. This is perfect if you are short of time but you are looking to spend some family time together or if your child looses interest easily. Due to Maxwell's love of the game, we played the game over and over again. Maxwell enjoyed this and never got bored.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dynamite Dare is a game which does not require batteries. This is a welcome addition to any game as it can often be difficult to find batteries in the home when a new game arrives. A new game often requires a trip to the shops for batteries however this game is simple and easy to use.</div>

<div>
Maxwell loved playing Dynamite Dare as it kept him on the edge of his seat. Maxwell did not know when the game may explode and when it would surprise him. With every surprise, Maxwell would jump and this made the game have that fun element.</div>

<div>
Dynamite Dare is suitable for children aged 4+. Dynamite Dare has a RRP of £19.99. <a href="http://amzn.to/2wglUXb">It can be purchased from here</a>.</div>

A few weeks ago Maxwell, Ben and I were invited to Oxygen Freejumping in Southampton. We were invited to join the PJ Masks "Jumping Adventure"which is an early morning session held on each day of the week. The sessions are perfect for children aged 5 years and under. Previously we had only ever been to Oxygen once for one of Maxwell's friends Birthday parties, so we were excited to see what the Pj Mask sessions were like. For anyone who is not aware of Oxygen, Oxygen is a large trampoline park.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
As soon as we arrived at the venue, we were greeted by the friendly team that worked there. We got our tickets and went on to purchase our socks which everyone needs to have to jump at the trampoline park. Priced at £2, I think the price is reasonable. The socks are something you can reuse if you decide to visit Oxygen again so although they are an initial cost, they are a item which you do not have to keep buying on every visit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOm7V-ZSWoZXsBg-Q1qqZETNuft-Qmfqi6dhBVlc3L-RA5i5URqhK8KseS3C6IQJPedgWSJjpAvSZwdHEQP2pbp3OudkrTv7-WBSwDFBgRIx7L6JoxoL-BLFNn00kqB4h-vaauCSfNSLY/s1600/oxy2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOm7V-ZSWoZXsBg-Q1qqZETNuft-Qmfqi6dhBVlc3L-RA5i5URqhK8KseS3C6IQJPedgWSJjpAvSZwdHEQP2pbp3OudkrTv7-WBSwDFBgRIx7L6JoxoL-BLFNn00kqB4h-vaauCSfNSLY/s320/oxy2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once we were ready to head into the trampoline park, we placed our valuables into a locker and headed into a room to watch a safety video. Once we had watched the safety video, we were allowed to go into the trampoline park.<br />
<br />
We were told that the PJ Masks "Jumping Adventure" hour sessions were split into separate segments that would flow with the Pj Masks characters interests. Over the course of the hour we performed Catboy’s, Owlette’s, and Gekko’s super skills and abilities as well as mastered some of our own skills. Throughout our hour session, staff kept us engaged and showed us what they expected of us through each segment. If the children decided they would rather have fun doing something else in the trampoline park, this was also not a problem. All the children and adults were encouraged to have fun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhck_m7_aF9rVrElmhcB3sXiQOxWzm3ufMeqKzDbIaIqMvqD-4-nVP_hEJ_A6U_3Msd0y8ppQ0gva-XPg7h7aF7uar0DzU0GKYSEBHkkT4eD18PwAvmg0xnp016nUOAI5u-KZHzfvao4jk/s1600/oxy4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="959" data-original-width="960" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhck_m7_aF9rVrElmhcB3sXiQOxWzm3ufMeqKzDbIaIqMvqD-4-nVP_hEJ_A6U_3Msd0y8ppQ0gva-XPg7h7aF7uar0DzU0GKYSEBHkkT4eD18PwAvmg0xnp016nUOAI5u-KZHzfvao4jk/s320/oxy4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
One of Maxwell's favourite things to do was to jump on a huge air bag. Maxwell did not grow tired of running on a trampoline and bouncing off it onto the air bag. This was a huge highlight of Maxwell's tip. Maxwell also loved playing dodge ball with us. As a family, we loved playing piggy in the middle and we loved playing games and passing the ball to one another.<br />
<br />
As a family we had great fun. We felt that the session went too fast for our liking and we would have loved a little more time to have fun in the trampoline park. As a parent, I loved the age range that attended the PJ mask sessions. Due to everyone being 5 or under, there was not a chance of Maxwell getting squashed by any older children wanting to have lots of fun.<br />
<br />
We loved that the activity kept us all moving and we loved that we all managed to exercise in one of the funniest ways possible. PJ Masks ‘Jumping Adventures’ sessions are the same price as the regular <a href="https://oxygenfreejumping.co.uk/activities/little-os/#" rel="nofollow">Little O toddler sessions </a>which can be attended by under 5's in term time. Priced at just £5 for both adults and children, I think these sessions are affordable for many.<br />

<u style="font-family: inherit;">Tell me a little bit about you and your family?</u></div>
Hi, I am Lindsay a 33-year-old mum of three from Newcastle Upon Tyne. I am a stay at home mum and blogger and my partner Lee is a manager at Greggs the Bakers. We have three children Chloe who is 14, Sophia who is 4 and Jacob who is almost 3, we also have a house cat called Marmalade. We moved into our forever family home late last year and we are busy renovating our home and planning our wedding for June 2019. <br /><br /><u>When did you start blogging and what is your niche?</u><br />I started blogging back in Spring 2014, I started off as a pregnancy blog recording my pregnancy with my little boy who is now about to turn 3! I blog about our family life here in Newcastle, mainly days out, places to eat and things to do with teens and toddlers. I also plan on including more interior posts and wedding posts as that is what my life is full of at the moment. <br /><br /><u>What is your attitude towards money – are you a spender or a saver?</u><br />I am really bad with money and I am definitely a spender. I really need to start saving though as we have so much to do in the house to make it how we want and we also have a holiday to save for and our wedding. <br /><br /><u>Have you ever taken part in any money saving challenges? Were they successful?</u><br />No, never I keep seeing them all over social media and vow to take part but I never do. <div>

<br /><br /><u>What is the best bargain you have bought this year?</u><br />Oh, I don't know, probably a half price Haven mini break we booked earlier this year. I am really bad at finding bargains and really should keep an eye out more as I always end up paying full price for everything. <br /><br /><u>What is the best budget day out in your area?</u><br />We have quite a few free good museums in Newcastle city centre which are great for visiting with children. We are also lucky to live close to the coast and have lots of lovely beaches right on our doorstep which we love spending time at. <br /><br /><u>How do you budget for big occasions like Christmas & Birthdays?</u>I don't I am so bad at buying everything last minute and spending a lot of money! We have started saving Tesco Clubcard vouchers and I have been saving vouchers I have been getting from blogging this year and we have also already bought the little two a few things in for Christmas this year. <br /><br /><u>Have you got any money saving targets to complete in the next year?</u>I don't have a target as such but I need to start being better at saving as we have a holiday in Majorca to finish paying for, we still need lots of things doing to the house decoration wise which we need to save for. We also need to start planning and saving for the wedding as we are paying for most of it ourselves - my dad has paid for my venue and my mother in law is paying for the cake but we are paying for everything else and have worked out we need to save about £7,000 for the wedding and £6,000 for the honeymoon. Yikes! <br /><div>
<br /></div>
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions Lindsay, it is fantastic to learn more about you and your family. I love that you save your Tesco Clubcard vouchers up and in turn save them for Christmas. I have my fingers crossed that you reach your savings target for your wedding and honeymoon! Good luck!<br /><div>

Over the summer holidays Maxwell and I have been playing lots of games together. With the recent weather being poor, we found we had a lot of wet weather days. We were recently sent the Wobbly Worm game from Spinmaster to review. We were excited to receive the Wobbly Worm game as we loved the concept of it.<br />
<a name='more'></a><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As soon as the Wobbly Worm game arrived, we opened the box. We found that the game was easy to put together however one struggle that we did have was finding the larger sized batteries for the game and then finding a screwdriver to open the battery compartment. The screwdriver needed to be very thin however we did find a suitable set to open the battery compartment in a local supermarket. Due to this, it stopped game play straight away. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZ8I38Z87OGxvSn_IKVYazdbWo4W_FUgjPlmWxo1a-wL89S070jBIvb7JHzzgUpJG0T2I0yLrkJQmASQ52e_vcDY8vQj5rLyL6E31L15_qJ-R-Bz-QSD1NtTj8ikgT7Hw2rvPd7MkdrM/s1600/wig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZ8I38Z87OGxvSn_IKVYazdbWo4W_FUgjPlmWxo1a-wL89S070jBIvb7JHzzgUpJG0T2I0yLrkJQmASQ52e_vcDY8vQj5rLyL6E31L15_qJ-R-Bz-QSD1NtTj8ikgT7Hw2rvPd7MkdrM/s320/wig.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once we had sorted the battery issues out, we got on with playing the game. The whole aim of the game is to 'hoop the worm'. The game has three different levels of play. The levels are changed by making the Wobbly Worm taller or shorter. At the tallest point, the Wobbly Worm game stands at 90 cm tall. The game includes 3 sets of 3 different sized rings. Due to this, I think this game is really built for 3 players which is a nice welcome addition as we are a family of 3.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
The game is motorised and once the game is switched on Wobbly Worm rocks forwards and backwards making it more difficult to aim your hoops. We found that we were unable to get any hoops around the Wobbly Worm when it stood at 90cm tall however on the lowest level, we managed to hook the hoops around the Wobbly Worm over and over again. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Wobbly Worm game is bright, fun and a game which will keep children engaged. The game is aimed at children 3 + but has no small pieces with it. I feel that children younger than 3 could potentially use this toy but would require adult supervision when using it.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
The Wobbly Worm game can either be played inside or outside. I love this concept as it is perfect for beautiful summer days or wet and windy days. The game <a href="http://amzn.to/2wWJFAX" rel="nofollow">can be purchased from Amazon</a> and has a RRP of £19.99. This game has been a huge hit in our household and we think it would make a brilliant gift for any child who loves games or loves fun sporty activities.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last month I told you that I had been purchasing magazine subscriptions for a short while so I could take advantage of the free gift which came with the magazine. Over the past month I have bagged myself items such as electrical, homeware accessories, makeup and gift sets. Here is a run down on the best magazine subscriptions in August. This month I have managed to put together a extensive list which I hope you all enjoy and take advantage of! Please remember if the offer includes cash back, you need to go through <a href="http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/Knightwoodroad">Topcashback</a> first as this is the best way to get any cash back money to track. If you have not signed up to Topcashback yet, ensure you do.</div>

REMEMBER<br />
Once you have purchased your magazine subscription, your gift should be with you within 30 days.<br />
If your free gift is not with you within 30 days feel free to chase it up. Items can get lost in the post.<br />
Please remember to set a reminder on your phone to cancel your subscription as soon as possible.<br />
I normally wait until my free gift has arrived to cancel my subscription.<br />
If you do not cancel your magazine subscription, you will be charged for future copies.<br />
I find it easy to cancel direct debit magazine subscription payments on my phone, on a banking app.<br />
Please note: I am not affiliated with the magazines I have shared above or with any of their offers.<br />
I will not be held responsible for any issues that may occur when you take out subscriptions.<br />
