Blogtober Day Two

Welcome to day two of Blogtober 2019! Today the prompt I am using is "I blog, therefor I am..."

So yes I blog, but what do I consider myself? Well I don't think I am a full time blogger, more along the lines of part time blogger, full time mum and  part time web designer. 

I only have fifteen hours a week child free while Freddie is attending the local nursery at the primary school, and in that fifteen hours I have to fit in household jobs and  preparing meals for the evening along with doing blogging, website work and food shopping! Occasionally I will boot up the laptop once the kids are in bed and do an hour or two of work then, but more often than not I am so exhausted I tend to crash out!!

And soon I will have to add in preparing Beaver sessions as I am currently getting my DBS check done to take over the running of our local Beaver colony that James currently attends!

So that is what I consider myself in the blogging world!

Blogmas Day Two

Welcome back to Blogmas day two! Today I'm going to be talking about what James has asked for for Christmas.

The first thing James has asked for is Power Tracks from John Adams. We first saw this advertised back in the summer holidays and James actually asked for it for his birthday, back then we were not too sure about it but after looking into it a lot more I thought it was the perfect Christmas present for James! 

James loves the idea of laying the track out and then programming the robot to follow the track that he has set. There are 20 tracks to put together or you can design your own for the robot to follow! We have found this on Amazon for £24.99

Next on his list is Spirograph. Now this thrilled me as I used to have one when I was a child and I loved it! James has really started to get into drawing this last few months. I think this would be brilliant for him and could be something for him and mummy to do together. There are lots of different kits you can buy with prices starting at £9.99 for a travel set. I think this would be the one we would get for James to see if he really likes it

Then we have Kinetic Sand. James reviewed the Kinetic Rock set last year and loved it. He saw the Kinetic Sand kit in Tesco and literally cannot stop talking about it! 

He has also asked for a game called Foxy Pants that he has seen advertised. Something I think he just thinks the game looks fun, but does not realise there are actual rules to play the game right. 

Another thing he has asked for is another game called Crazy Claw. This is a bit like a claw machine where you can win things. I have no idea if James wants it because it looks fun or because it looks like the claw machines he saw on holiday. 

I think they would be a great game to help James improve his fine motor skill by holding the button down on the handle and to help his concentration on picking up the balls!

Now onto the things mummy and daddy have chosen for him. James loves the books by Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter titled The Dinosaur That Pooped A Princess. We already have The Dinosaur That Pooped The Past and The Dinosaur That Pooped The Bed, so for Christmas mummy has got him The Dinosaur That Pooped a Princess.  Mummy also picked up a Disney Incredibles 2 story book at Tesco.

James recently joined Beavers, and when he was invested Nana and Gaga bought him his sweatshirt, then mummy and daddy got him his trousers in time for Remembrance Sunday. So for Christmas he asked for his polo top and baseball cap! 

Then we have a cuddly heat buddy. And then there is also wash mitt. 

Blogtober Day Two

So today's Blogtober prompt is An Old Photo Of You!

So this is a very old photo of me! I think I was about three when it was taken! 

I remember my mum and dad had it on the wall in our house! I have shown this photo to friends and a lot of people have said it's like James just with long hair!
