![[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.

Nerf Party venues in Surrey
Ever since the first Nerf gun was released in the late 1980s, foam bullet toys have become increasingly popular with kids and parents alike. Over the years, the range has expanded from the first two products to include different-style Nerf guns, foam bullets, and even arrow and water-based toys.
It’s no wonder that you can now book Nerf parties, thanks to the toy’s popularity. Nerf gun parties are great fun for all kids who love this outdoor toy and can be a great alternative to traditional parties.
What are Nerf parties?
Nerf parties can come in two different formats. You can book a Nerf party for kids at a specially designed venue exclusively for Nerf parties. Or you can hire a venue and book a company to set up a Nerf gun experience if a venue isn’t local to you.
At a Nerf party, you will typically be provided with the Nerf gun, ammo, safety glasses, tactical gear and equipment you might need for gameplay. The location will then be set up with barriers, bunkers, sandbags, tunnels and more for an exciting gameplay that resembles a paintball party. Please note the exact equipment provided and set up will vary from venue to venue or depend on the mobile provider you use if you host a Nerf gun party at a location of your choice.
Nerf gun parties can be hosted both indoors and outdoors, and this can change depending on the provider you use for your party or the Nerf gun party venue itself. It can be the perfect introduction to Nerf as a multiplayer activity and give kids of all ages an incredible experience and an opportunity to learn new skills.
Nerf Parties usually consist of 60 minutes of gameplay, and a safety and set-up period are required, too. The exact gameplay time will depend on the package you choose, and Nerf party providers and parties can be longer or shorter. Always clarify this prior to booking so you know exactly how long the entire party will be. They’re the perfect way to spend the summer holidays, during the half-term school holidays, or just a great way to help kids burn off some energy and have a fantastic day out.
Is there an age limit for Nerf parties?
While there is no age limit on buying Nerf guns for your kids, it is generally assumed that those under 5 might have difficulty using the toys. For this reason, many Nerf party venues have a minimum age of 5 or 6 for players. There is no upper age limit for kids’ parties, with some venues hosting birthday party bookings for ages 15+.
You should be aware that smaller or younger children might experience difficulties getting around during games or using the Nerf guns, which might detract from their overall enjoyment of the party.
If you are interested in booking a Nerf gun party for your child, below are some popular providers of Nerf parties or venues that cater for Nerf gun parties on-site.
How much do Nerf parties cost?
Nerf parties can be held for different-sized parties, although there is usually a minimum limit of 10 kids per party. You may need to make a special booking for larger group bookings to see if your group can be accommodated. Due to the nature of Nerf gun parties, it isn’t always possible to add additional children to gameplay on the day unless you have no shows, so bear that in mind. The exact group size, again, is dependent on the venue party provider.
Prices for Nerf parties can start from around £220 per party of 14 children, for example, with each additional child at £13 per head. Other examples include £225 for up to 20 children with 60 minutes of gameplay and unlimited bullets. Some providers might offer a family pass or other deals throughout the year, so it is worth asking at your Nerf Provider or location.
