Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Nothing?

Max & The Won't Go To Bed Show

CBeebies has done this bedtime story before, but since today's Dog Loves Books episode is themed around a circus and a clown, I've decided that tonight's bedtime story must be Max & The Won't Go To Bed show - and so it is!

The Midnight Technique

I've invented a new way to send letters to the people who you wish would support you every day - The Midnight Technique, inspired by Jacqueline Wilson's book 'Midnight'. I've decided to write letters to CBBC, Factory, Ludo and the National Autistic Society the same way the main character of the book, Violet, wrote to her idol and creator of the Fairy Books, Casper Dream, every single day. I used to read this book in school, and I was intrigued by Violet's interactions with everything around her, including her babysitter's Domino's Pizza meal, her childhood, her early interactions with her elderly next door neighbour and how she had tea and cake while reading the fairy stories each day - before the squatters moved in, the Smokey Fairy and the fact that it was banned because it was encouraging children to smoke (I don't approve of it) and Violet's new friend inviting her for a little gypsy dinner at her house, with what I call 'white cheese and wine'. Hmmm. Sounds tempting to try. I hope it tastes of goat's cheese. I may have to look it up when I have the time.

Everybody Say RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

This little girl is called Zoe. I always wanted Furaha, Simba or Nala to be my roommates, and for Zoe, Make-A-Wish brought The Lion King into her room! Even Kion was involved with Lion Guard content. Now all we need is Me, You, And...stuff and African music.

Bluey & Sofia The First

I thought I'd share that promo for new Bluey episodes with you again, this time taken during an airing of Sofia The First on the USA feed of Disney Junior. Too bad it wasn't infected with the Disney+ scheme!

I.B.F.Fs: Boredom

A power outage hits one Winter in our house, leaving me and my siblings Luke, Resus and Cleo bored and with nothing to do. That is until I have the idea to turn our house into an adventure playground! We turn the living room into an alligator swamp, and then our bedroom into a cosy black bat cave! Any chances you can spot references to Bluey episodes Mt. Mumandad, Postman & Ground's Lava and Fruit Bat?

See where I got inspiration from on the Huggies website. Try to find the one that says 'Transform The Familiar':
