I have received this item in exchange for my honest review. When it comes to buying Christmas presents for the children, we can all feel a bit overwhelmed: there are so many toys available and the toy makers are coming out with newer and bigger ideas how to grab parents by their wallet. Thinking of all the adverts I came across recently, I can see a terrible trend of small, plastic, collectible toys, which of course I refuse to buy. Also, I refuse to but lots of presents for the children just because we can afford. Furthermore, I refuse to …

I have received this product in exchange for my unbiased review. I like statement jewellery and I am big fan of handmade items from small shops and manufactures. I also often buy them as a gift. Just recently came across Acdria, a small family run jewellery designer company, based in England. Because the items are handmade in the UK, they are also an ethical brand. They also try to source all their supplies locally, as much as possible. They also use mainly recycled paper for their beautiful branded boxes. They have their own, special techniques, like coating the jewellery with special water-based varnishes …

I *might* have mentioned, that I love dinner parties! I love hosting them too, not just attending one, in fact I probably prefer hosting. Love having friends over and chatting away whilst having a nice meal, good wine. The company that matters, they say, but I adore the old fashioned side of dinner parties too: getting dressed up, getting the nice table wear out and getting fresh flowers. I normally cook something different and new – this is my kitchen adventure opportunity: I always challenge myself with something new. The only standard item on my dinner party to do list …
Review & Giveaway: VonShef Halogen Oven From Domu Brands

I quite like nice food and cooking but until now I have never heard of halogen ovens. So if you’re like me, you might want to know how does it work. It is essentially just like your oven, just smaller. There’s one big difference though I’d like to highlight immediately: halogen oven cooks way faster then your regular oven so it saves energy (therefore, it’s more environmentally friendly) and money. It also uses electricity instead of gas, which can be produced on a renewable way . It is a multifunctional cooking appliance – suitable for grilling, roasting, baking, steaming, frying, …
Reading and ASD My son loves his books. He memorised many of his favourite stories. Children on the spectrum are quite often hyperlexic and develop a particular interest in books, pictures and words. I think the reason for this is the predictability of the letters and the written words. They always mean the same thing. No reading into people’s tones or facial expressions, just plain and simple the same meaning every time. Even though Bobcat was practically non-verbal till the age of 2 and half, we knew that he recognised all the letters, numbers, colours and shapes even at the …
