3 Hours To Bedtime - Lullabies

It's 3 hours to bed, and it's time to enjoy some quiet time with some soothing songs...but how are you going to send your baby, toddler or child off to sleep? With these albums! If you own them, that's fine by me, but if you want them for Christmas...that's an entirely different story. I love the covers of the Disney Lullaby album and 30 Songs For Rest Time, they're colourful and perfect. I also love Dreamland, because I'm into world music and they always make me envision Me, You, And...scenarios.

Do Purple Dinosaurs Love Magic Stars?

The Heartwarming Sound Of Friendship...


Heartwarming Christmas Books For Kids (And Grown-Ups Too)

These two lists compromise of the best books to read to kids at Christmas - and to yourself - to help you both wind down for the big day. From PBS, I think Llama Llama Jingle Bells happens to be my favourite, while from Puffin, Greg The Sausage Roll and The Jolly Christmas Postman are my favourites, because one, I love sausage rolls (as does Ladbaby!) and two, The Jolly Christmas Postman features a wolf delivering an apology to Red Riding Hood - something Luke would do to me to forgive me for letting CBBC terrorise me with the new series of Scream Street. I prefer the old series of Scream Street too, Luke, I prefer it too.

ScreamBlue Challenge Day 17 - The Evil Ooze & Family Meeting


At this time of year, families come together and celebrate, and this challenge is all about families! If you're inviting family over (depending on whether your country has strict rules about social distancing or not), try these 10 fun family reunion activities, or if you're talking to them via Zoom, just try 12 fun activities you can do with them via video call. Now to focus on Bluey and her family. Remember them the best way you possibly can - including the times when Socks was feral - by trying these colouring pages from the official Bluey website of ChilliMuffin or Muffin & SocksBanditBingo or of course Bluey. Finally, you can remember the best time you had with all your family, whether it's a birthday party, a trip to a theme park or a family visit, by making this beautiful mason jar picture frame.
