There is a brand new website on the lose that is waiting to save you money on the latest fashions for your family. Flash-price.com knows that it's hard for families on a tighter budget to keep up with the latest fashion trends (especially when your child get sudden growth spurts like mine!) so they are bringing you some amazing deals to kit your family out with good quality fashionable clothing, footwear and accessories without breaking the bank!

We were sent a pair of boots and backpack from the range to check out and my 7 year old loves them!

Although faux leather the boots seem very sturdy and Ben says they are really comfy, so far they have proved to be warm and waterproof in this recent miserable weather we've been having. The rather daring colour combination works really well and is very on trend this winter. 

As for the BCK&HRSY bag, I was expecting something flimsy as a freebie but that is certainly not the case! I'm really impressed with the quality of the the bag and Ben an't wait to start using it as his school bag in the new year. It will be really handy for family days out too as is rather spacious and has separate compartments inside, ideal for a laptop or tablet!

Join the Loom Band Craze with a FREE kit!

Have you heard of Loom Bands? If you have children over the age of four I'm guessing that you probably have! If not let me give you a brief introduction... 

What are Loom Bands?

Loom Bands are small plastic bands in bright colours that you are soon going to start finding everywhere... Yes, everywhere, so far I've discovered them in my cereal, in the bath and inside my favourite book!

Apart from popping up all over your home they also have a purpose, which is to be weaved into  colourful bracelets. This can be done either on a plastic loom or on your fingers, thanks to youtube tutorials, using a fork to weave them has become quite popular too!

Designs range from really simple bracelets to much more complex and extravagant, I've even seen Disney characters made out of them!

The craze has even taken the celebrity world by storm with the likes of David Beckham and even Kate Middleton the Duchess of Cambridge spotted wearing the colourful Loom Bracelets.

Don't be fooled by the bright colours and idea of bracelets, loom bands are a great activity for both girls and boys!

My six year old son enjoys watching youtube tutorials and searching Pinterest then being creative with the bands, I think it's a great activity to help improve fine motor skills and encourage independence, especially for children like Ben who is Dyspraxic and has Hypermobility.

So Do You Want to get Some Free Loom Bands?

One of the great things about this Loom Bands is they are really cheap activity, you can realistically get started with just one pack of around 600 bands and 10 s clips that you can by in many shops for just £1!

If you fancy getting really serious though you can get a complete kit including a storage box, a plastic loom board, 2000 loom bands and 25 s clips as well as some instructions to get you started for just £9.99!

What is even better is if you join TopCashBack today you can get this kit Free of charge!

Last Chance to get a Free Family & Friends Railcard

I've been meaning to share this for a while but hadn't got round to it, so apologies that this is a bit last minute as it ends at midnight on Wednesday!

You can sign up to get a completely free two month Family & Friends Railcard which will save you  up to a third on adult fares and 60% on children's fares!

Sign up here to get your free Railcard that will expire on 31st of July. You will also be given the opportunity to get a £10 discount on an annual railcard which usually costs £30, in my opinion this is definitely worth doing if you use rail travel with your children!

We've had a railcard for over three years now and the savings really add up. I've started to take my  6 year old son down to London for some great events and I really don't think i'd have been able to do so without the discounts the family & friends railcard offers.

Here's an example:

• A standard day return for myself and my son to travel from Manchester to London and back in June is £120
• With the Family and friends railcard, that goes down to just £70
• That's a fabulous saving of £50!

In order to take advantage of the discount, at least one child and one adult must be travelling and it's valid for up to a maximum of four adults and four children. Technically it's for children age 5 to 15 as under 5's benefit from free train travel but it can sometimes work out cheaper to buy a ticket for your younger child if you are travelling with them!

So be quick and grab this offer before midnight on 21st June 2014 and start saving on your rail travel!

Win Halo's and Horn's Goodies with The Little Book of Holiday Fun!

 
With just one week left of the summer holidays for most of us it's getting harder to find fun things to keep the little ones entertained, especially on a budget!

The Halos N Horns Little Book of Holiday Fun is packed with fresh ideas for mum and dad on how to keep the kids entertained, without spending a fortune so is the perfect solution!


You’ll find loads of fun ideas that revolve around doing activities together and creating things. Lots of the ideas have come from Halo's N Horn's fans on facebook , (so look out on page 7 for my creative hungry caterpillars idea!)


It’s a mix of new and old favourites, to occupy kids at home, on a family day out or on holiday. From water-based alfresco fun, to creative ideas for making things, the perfect family picnic, making the most of being outdoors, and great tips for surviving long car journeys, The Little Book of Holiday Fun has it covered.


I've been reading up on some great ideas to keep the kids entertained in the car, from 'snap the car', 'number plate game' and 'doctors dog' and I’ll need them, as tomorrow we're driving up to Scotland, and it will be the longest we've ever taken the children on a car journey!


If you've still got plenty to keep you occupied during the day then there is also a page dedicated to bathtime fun, whether you're at home or away, with some fabulous fun suggestions from 'dunk the duck' to 'toy races' and 'bathtime band!'


Halos N Horns recently surveyed parents about bath time routines and found there was no rest for mum as whilst dads are making bath time fun, for 73% of mums it’s a chance to whizz around the house finishing off chores - with only 27% taking the opportunity to stop and put their feet up!
However, 69% of mums do look forward to bath time as it signals the end of the day and the chance to relax.


The Halos N Horns Little Book of Holiday Fun is available FREE from www.halosnhorns.co.uk, you can download a copy or request a printed booklet posting to you!

And for anyone like me who's always looking for a discount, there’s also a 50p off coupon inside too!
