We're either mad or just becoming crazy cat people but we have another kitten! Meet Oreo, our little 8 week old addition to the family.  It has been a crazy few days since we have got him adn we're still a little unsure of what Jack thinks yet. They have sniffed at each other, had a fews growls and a couple of swipes but all in all they seem ok. I think this will be the last kitten that we get whilst we have other cats, but are very excited about how both Jack and Oreo grow up together.  Please read my other post about getting Jack, its has details of what you should be aware of before getting a kitten/cat.

We have beeen very lucky to have been able to create and design a Trunki for Lilly via the Trunki customiser.  Fom the main case itself to the hub caps, there are 10 different aspects which you can customise on the Trunki case which leads to over 1 billion possible combinations that you and your child can create. Lils started the process of designing her own Trunki and went through a few designs before settling with a purple and blue design, whilst you make changes the pictures changes to so you can see how it will look once it is made. These retail at £44.99 and acan take up to 10 days to be created. Once your order is placed you will get a confirmation email with a link to be able to see how the Truni will look when it arrives. We got an email and text the day before delivery and when it arrived the packaging dissapoint, the box itself can be created into a Trunki house including a doormat.  Once out of the box Lilly couldn't wait to pack it up and ta...

We recently took a trip to the Rare Breeds Centre in Kent, which is a 100 acre farm with so much to do, from pig racing to animal encounters there is something to keep the children entertained all day.  We arrived around 10am and were instantly greeted with the sight of animals, near the car park were a couple of fields with some sheep in and at the entrance to the farm there were a couple of goats. Firstly we took a look into Creepy Crawly World, a room full of insects and reptiles, from trantulas to snakes to lizards, Lil's loved looking at them all but was glad that they were behind glass. We then decided to go to the petting area first which Lils absoloutly love, there were bunny rabbits, guinea pigs and a goat out for the children to say hello to, there are also a few animals in pens around the edge including pigs, more goats, a horse and a donkey. We then joined queue for the tractor/trailor ride, the ride itself takes around 15-20 minutes so be prepared t...
