![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos

![[AD] What does family look like for you?
I am fortunate to be surrounded by strong, powerful women in the form of my mum, sister and mother-in-law (along with many others). With Mother’s Day just around the corner, @BootsUK want to celebrate all the different mums and mother figures we are lucky enough to have in our lives. They have a huge range of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from so we can show them how much they mean to us. (swipe to take a look at some of my choices)
If you want to express love and appreciation for the mother figure(s) in your life, head to Boots.com to find the ideal gift. They have a whole host of gifts, so you can be sure to find something to suit all tastes. Celebrate the #LoveForAllMums this Mother’s Day with Boots.

![📚 Are you ready for World Book Day? 📚
[AD - Gifted] I don't know about you, but I have never made the boys a costume for #WorldBookDay. I just don't have it in me to be creative that way. Their costumes have always been bought or cobbled together with what we already have, and luckily, the school allow you to wear pyjamas to school, which makes things a lot easier!
M has been living in his @TheRealTomGates pyjamas recently, and I think he might wear these when his World Book Day dress-up day comes around (the school celebrate with Book Week rather than just Book Day)
The boys have been fans of Tom Gates for a while now. M has always loved reading books that make him laugh and contain humour - they tend to keep him engaged in reading.
Did you know that there are now 20 Tom Gates storybooks to get stuck into? Ideal for kids aged 6-12, the series consists of feel-good, hilarious books full of photos and stories about Tom's life at home and school. Best of all, you can read them in any order.
The latest book is Tom Gates: Happy to Help (Eventually), and along with the pyjamas, you can pick them up from @GeorgeAtAsda just in time for World Book Day!
There's also a range of Tom Gates items, including games, puzzles and greeting cards at major retailers.

New gadgets with Mpow
I was recently sent a couple of items from Mpow to test out and as I simply love gadgets I was quite excited.
If you’ve not heard of Mpow before, they are the No. 1 Premium Bluetooth Accessories Brand for Smartphones. Aside from Smartphone accessories they have car accessories and portable speakers.
We were sent the following items.
Wireless Bluetooth headphones
These were really easy to set up and I was connected to my iPhone in a matter of minutes. I have been using these headphones on my commute to work and they are super comfy. It also means I no longer have to rummage around to untangle my headphones from my handbag anymore and they are also very compact.
I thought the sound quality was really good and feel that for the price (£15.95 on Amazon) it’s good value for money.
Waterproof case
The waterproof case is made out of PVC materials with a lock which you seal to makes the case watertight. I was a little sceptical that something priced at only £8.99 would actually be waterproof so I tested the case with some tissue in it first. All seemed good, so next up I tested the case with my iPhone and popped it in the sink.
I was genuinely surprised to find that not only was my phone watertight in the case. I could also use the touchscreen whilst it was in the case too – amazing!
I think this would be a must-have for keeping your phone safe whilst on holiday. You’d be able to get those “in the pool” shots and not have to worry about ruining your phone.
The neck strap means you can pretty much carry it around with you anywhere you go.
E has actually been using this to play Pokemon GO. There is now no need for me to worry about him dropping it whilst engrossed in catching Pokemon and the price tag is just a complete bargain!
*I was sent these items from Mpow to review, in exchange for this post. All opinions are honest and my own.

I love a good gadget! The phone looks like a good one, I like the neck strap x #picknmix
the waterproof case looks fab! i have really small ear holes (not sure of the technical word) so i struggle with most headphones unless they are really tiny so not sure how id get on with the headset! Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday
That neck strap looks ideal! Especially for the kids.
#KCACOLS
Love the idea of the waterproof case, though I too would have been sceptical about it actually being fully watertight at that price! #kcacols
I like waterproof case! I like to use technology in the bath much to my husbands annoyance. Maybe that would put his mind at rest! #KCACOLS
I have some wifi headphones (not the ones here) and I love them. They are great for the gym, I don’t get tangled up with weights lol.
#KCACOLS
I love that waterproof case – I think I’ll have to order myself one before our holiday next month #kcacols
I have bluetooth headphones and love them 🙂 The waterproof phone bag sounds like a great idea, I might have to get Si one for Christmas for when he goes fishing! Thanks for linking up to #PicknMix lovely

Ohhh these look like bargains! We have been after some bluetooth headphones for Biggest for some time as he gets tangled in the wire and uses his iPod to calm down so much. Need to investigate these! #KCACOLS
This looks great Maria, I could do with one of these for Olivia as she scares me when she has my phone! #kcacols
