Do you encourage your children to keep a journal?

As a child I never kept a diary.  I never thought to write down my feelings in to a book.  to jot down the everyday things that happened and as an adult I really wish I did.

I really want to encourage my boys to keep a journal and they both have a three year one with prompts for a simple answer each night.

Mini is like me and has a real love for stationery and when memoetc.co.uk sent us some of their remarkable range (stationery that used to be something else) he claimed it for himself.  He has been using it to write notes, plan out his fantasy football team and challenge himself with sums.


He personalised his book with some fab Washi tape from Scotch tape and carries it around with him.

He can often be found curled up with this notebook and pen in hand and it melts my heart.

I am really grateful to the stationery sent my Memotec, as it means that he can indulge in his love of stationery too (he is just like his mummy with that love)!

Do your children keep a diary or journal?

Bissell Vac and Steam Machine Review and Giveaway

I have hard floors downstairs which I love.  They are much more practical than carpet with 2 mucky boys and a dog. Over the past 8 years I have tried all sorts of ways to keep them clean and I think I have finally found the product that does that for me. It is the  Bissell Vac and Steam Machine .  This amazing suel action machine vacuums and steam cleans either independently or at the same time.  It means that I have done away with my vacuum and steam cleaner downstairs (which I gave to my brother in law). What I like: You can either vacuum or steam clean or do both It is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre The handle is adjustable great for a home with people of different heights and for getting the kids involved. You need no chemicals The pads are washable and reusable It comes with a two year guarantee It warms up fast (within 30 seconds) so no long wait to start cleaning It costs under £100 It is space saving.  No need for a separate vacuum, steam cleaner or mop.
