Fitness has always been in my blood. I have always enjoyed running and playing. My mum has often said how active my brother and I were. Poor Mum! This all led me down an exercise path which I have loved. I did the, ‘2 workouts a day for 5 days a week’ at university and I have played many sports - I always loved the pre-season training. In recent years I have also done the, "I am so tired of this child no sleeping, GIVE ME CAKE." After a few years of low energy and feeling ti

We were kindly gifted 'The Adventures of Violet and Bruce, Destroying the Noise Machine' to review which we have enjoyed reading a number of times together. It is a light-hearted fun book about a little girl and her pet sausage dog who are on a mission to defeat the noisy vacuum. Each page has fun and engaging illustrations for little ones and there is a catchy rhythm to the story. A lot of children have a special relationship with their pet dog and you can see that this is

Hello! It has been a little while since I wrote a blog...more than a little while actually! We welcomed a little boy to our family in April and we've been enjoying some time as a family of four. I'm hoping I'll be on here a little more frequently now but obviously aside from spending time with my little ones, my main priority is making sure you all get your Storyboxes! I can't believe our little boy is 5 months already - he has just had his first holiday, his first tooth has
