My children are huge superhero fans. They all love anything to do with superheros, so when  I was contacted and asked if I'd like to review Sprukits, I of course said that we would love to review Sprukits.



Sprukits let you build your favourite hero in great detail with true like features and movement. Sprukits are easy to assemble and fit together.


Ellie choose to assemble the superman sprukit first. She loves superman, hes her favourite superhero so I wasn't surprised she chose to build him first.
We took all the parts out of the box and looked over the instructions. "Wow that's a lot of pieces" Ellie told me. Ellie is only seven and this sprukit is aged 8+, Ellie and I started putting this together ourself.



Ellie noticed that all the parts were labeled with numbers and letters. They're labeled to make easier to assemble.


It took as about 40 minutes to connect all the pieces of superman and fit him together but it was really good fun, Ellie and I very much enjoyed fitting him together. Because all of pieces are connected to a grid and they're all labeled, each piece just snaps off. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow! All the pieces clip and fit together easily. Ellie did need a fair bit of help to begin with though but once she got the hang of it, she easily fit the pieces together herself.


The Sprukits also include stickers and a cape for superman. I think this was a lovely touch to the superman figure. Ellie couldn't wait to see him finished with his cape on.


We put together the batman figure, too! The batman figure is a level 1 kit and didn't take us as long to build. Ellie and Charlie did most of this one themselves! Again, all the pieces are connected to a grid and labeled. The instructions are easy to read and follow!



"They click together nicely" Charlie said. Charlie's nine years old, almost ten years old and had no problems building this. He really enjoyed building it infact. Ellie helped him, too. This wasa lovely little activity that they could both do together.


Once the figures are all built, you also have a stand supplied in the kits, the figures just slot onto the stands nicely to keep them standing up, which makes them easy to display! They truly are lovely. We're going to put a special shelf up in the bedrooms so the superheros can be displayed and showed off!



The HALO sprukit comes with 161 pieces and is a lot bigger than the superman and batman superhero. We took all the parts out of the box, along with the instruction sheet. Charlie and Harry (aged 11) were both very excited about building this HALO figure, they are -what they call- "gamers" and Halo fans. 
(Please note: Harry asked me not to take photos of him as he was feeling a bit under the weather at the time. Building sprukits cheered him up though)




The boys worked on building this together with a little help from. I think they got a bit confused and overwhelmed with the instructions to begin with but I helped them and pointed out which grids and pieces to use, they soon got the hang of it. Charlie would build the legs and Harry would work on another part of the figure. Harry pointed out that he liked making "sockets" for the legs and arms etc to fit into. I guess they are a little bit like sockets. "It's quite a challenge" Charlie said "But I really am enjoying putting this all together, can't wait to see the end result" Charlei said and Harry nodded in agreement.




The Halo Sprukit took the boys quite a while to build. They stopped half way through and finished off the following day, after school. They really, really enjoyed building this. I think the Halo one is probably the hardest one to put together and took the most patience due to so many pieces. The boys really enjoyed doing this together though and seemed to have fun building Halo.


Overall we really enjoyed these sprukits. They easily snap and piece together. It's great fun and they are very much enjoyed building these superheros. This is also a lovely activity they can all do together. They're easy to assemble (with a little help from me at times). All the figures have amazing articulationand a huge range of motion.
I would totally recommend Sprukits to anyone. I'm even an adult and I enjoy building these superheros. It's great fun and a lovey activity for all to enjoy (aged 8+). I know what my children will be asking for, for Christmas! These would make a lovely gift for any superhero fan.
Prices start from £8.99 upwards.

I was sent this product(s) for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own, honest, personal opinion. I was not paid for this post.

I thought I would do a round up of our spring so far.
The weather hasn't actually been too bad. There's been a few days where it's been windy and wet, but overall we've had quite a pleasant spring. We've managed to get outside quite a bit, we are such an outdoorsy family.



In April we moved house, a different area and a lovely house! Easter was a bit chaotic but the kids enjoyed it none the less. If I'm honest we are still settling in and getting use to our new environment but we are really enjoying it. The children have settled into there new schools and made lots of new friends. Harry has done his SATS and we are patiently waiting for his results. Charlie has done mock SATS (because he's in year five). Ellie has really started to settle now and seems to be enjoying school and making new friends. Even our cats, 'Lotti' and 'Sylvie' have settled in well! The house is amazing and I am busy planning on what colour schemes I'd like etc. We still don't have the internet (I'm using a dongle at the moment, which is a bit temperamental).



We've been to castle park twice where we had a picnic and fed the squirrels, we also had a fun time at the summer fete! It was such great fun. I think castle park is probably our favourite place to go as a family, there is so much to do there, so many things to see. There's usually bouncy castles and other inflatables, there is of course the play park, the gardens and the cafe. There's a pond and of course the castle itself! But most of all I think we like the squirrels. They are so tame and so, so cute! It's a really cheap day out for all of us to enjoy.

We've also enjoyed exploring our new area (although this is the area I grew up in). There's quite a few play areas for the kids to play on. We're so lucky to have a woodland right on our doorstep (literally two minutes walk away). It's so beautiful at this time of year, it's covered in bluebells. We've had fun feeding the ducks and spotting lots of wildlife, which always makes us happy.

Overall we've had a fabulous spring. It's been chaos with moving house and what not but it's been fun. It's been an adventure. We are so looking forward to the summer. The last term of school especially. We're looking forward to exploring more and all the end of term activities. We're hoping to get a lot of things ticked off our summer bucket list!

What are you most looking forward to this summer? I'd love to hear your plans.

Ellie wanted to play with her umbrella in the back garden. Sunday was the perfect day for this because it was raining lightly.

So Ellie put on her old clothes and was all "It's UMBRELLA weather, can I play outside?"
I of course had to snap a few pics!



 "I wonder if I can fly away like Mary poppins, that would be super duper cool" Ellie told me.


It started to rain a bit heavier so we folded the umbrella down and went back inside. Although, Ellie would have loved to played in the pouring down rain but it's back to school this week and really, we don't need any colds! Also, I might add the wind was picking up and Ellie hates the wind. So back inside we came to watch a Disney movie.


 "Maybe later we can find some puddles to splash in" Ellie said. So perhaps later, when the wind dies down, we'll venture out and find some puddles, hehe.

Do your little ones like playing out in the rain?

I was asked if I would like to review this lovely set of bathroom scales from Ozeri. I really wanted to try these scales because they also have a BMI detection feature as well as weight change detection!


When I took the scales out of the box, I was very impressed with the quality of the scales, they look and feel like very good quality.
 The Ozeri WeightMaster II scales look really modern and fashionable. They're made of plastic and glass, they also have a nice sized LCD screen which displays weight and BMI. The scales are slip resistant and are a little textured, they are ever so comfortable to stand on. They measure in both KG and lbs, which is always a plus. They weigh up to 200kg,they work with step on technology, so as soon as you step on them, they start to calculate your weight (calculates my weight within a matter of seconds) and they have an auto switch off detection once you step off the scales. The scales themselves have non slip feet, which won't damage floors!

The scales LCD screen lights up in blue.

These scales remember your weight and detect your weight change since the last weigh in, which I think is rather clever. They also display your BMI, on the LCD screen along with your weight! The scales also display your weight in colour, which is super cool! Once you stand on the scales to weigh yourself, the screen lights up in a lovely blue colour. They change to red if you have gained weight since the last time you have weighed yourself and green for weight loss. I actually really like the fact they change colour. I especially like it when they turn green, haha.

The back of the box.

Overall, these are a lovely set of bathroom scales, they're reliable, accurate and I love the look! I like the fact they don't damage the floor but most of all I really like that they change colour! I think these scales will actually help me to get back on my weight loss journey as I have been sacking lately.
I would totally recommend these scales.
The batteries are included a long with an instruction manual.
