Lego, Scooby Doo & Giveaway

I don't know about you but Scooby Doo was very much apart of my pre-teen TV watching agenda when I was growing up. It had a little bit of everything I was looking for in a cartoon from adventure, suspense to friendship and style it became a firm favourite for Saturday morning breakfast TV before heading out on my own weekend adventures. It's also become one of those shows my son has suddenly had an interest in, I think it's a combination of the excitement of problem solving and that the main character is a dog either way it's one of those shows we do allow as its harmless but also has some good morals. Great news is that Scooby-Doo has paired up with Lego and they have been creating some fun stop motion videos on their official WB Kids YouTube channel, with new videos being uploaded weekly.

Enjoying some sofa time

Really want to cosy up on this stylish sofa ( image) I have to say coming into my 35th week of pregnancy I am really starting to slow down and the energy levels have really seen a drop of late.

A day with Dr Who

So a few weeks ago we were invited to a special Easter family day at The Dr Who experience in Cardiff bay, it was a lovely sunny day and the little man was very excited at the thought of meeting a Dalek. We didn't really know what to expect as Mr A has never seen Dr Who before or anything of that ilk and I was a bit worried it may be a little bit scary for him. He did however sew a Dalek at Comicon earlier this year and was totally taken with it and we ended up getting him a little Dalek which he loves and plays with all the time, so he did have some familiarity with the concept but that was about the limit of his knowledge. It was also the first time that I had visited the experience and I can really see why this place is so popular with fans. The quality of the tour is very high and Mr A truly believed he was going into space. There were moments that scared him but we focused mainly on the Daleks and with some reassurance he took everything in his stride ......
