Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Monday. How was your weekend? Today I'm sharing some fun new Easter treats from Cadbury- that was kind enough to send me and Alex a little goodie bag filled with Easter treats. Now if you know me - Easter is one of my absolute favourite times of the year - I love all things bunny related. And chocolate of course! Give me all the yummy Easter chocolates! So let me share some of the Easter treats from Cadbury this year. I will be sharing a post next week with some fun tips we use to take part in their #HidewithLove campaign - which I think is such a cute and fun idea - especially with everything going on in the world.  ______________________________________________________________ Cadbury is back with an eggciting new Easter range, filled with all the delicious treats that chocolate eggthusiasts have come to love!    There's the melt-in-your-mouth Cadbury chocolate-covered Fluffy Mallow Eggs and Cadbury chocolate Hollow Eggs filled with Whispers or Astros ....

Hi guys! I hope you are all well. How is lock-down life on your side?

Hi guys! Happy Friday! How has your week been? Are you ready for the super duper cold weekend in Johannesburg ?? Last month I saw an awesome new subscription service pop up in my Instagram sponsored posts called Kids Book Club  and I decided to check it out. They have a great selection of packages available for most age groups too. As I mentioned in a previous post - Alex reads a book every night before bedtime. (He reads more though - he has to read a bedtime story to me every night ) I love picking up a few new ones often for a before bedtime read. I decided this subscription would be an awesome add on for us to give a try and see how we like it. We picked the single book Fox Favourites (5-10years) package and the theme for our June box was "Cozy". Our package included the starter pack, a cute book and two activity packs (the Cozy one that is the theme for the month as well as our starter pack one - which will come in handy this school holiday ).
