Walkers Hoops and Crosses Review



We were sent this box of treats by Walkers to introduce us to their new baked Hoops and Crosses snacks.

I love crisps (just a bit too much!) but tend to be a Ready Salted gal so I was intrigued to find out what these Roast Beef snacks were like.


The taste is reminiscent of Monster Munch but perhaps not so strong, which is a good thing. The children really enjoyed them too and found them filling so they are now on our weekly shopping list.

What I really liked was they are made with 56% wholegrain and have 30% less fat than average everyday potato crisps*, which is a healthy bonus, especially where the childrens' lunchboxes are concerned. 

Saying that.....I don't think many of the packets we buy will actually end up in their lunchboxes. Shhhhh!  They can argue over the cheeky monkey instead ;-)

Hoops and Crosses are also available in Salt & Vinegar and Prawn Cocktail flavours.

Tree Fu Go! pyjamas review

Harry loves wearing pyjamas and enjoys watching Tree Fu Tom with his siblings so when I was offered the chance to review some Tree Fu Tom pyjamas I jumped at the chance.


He couldn't wait to put them on when they arrived and wanted to go straight to bed (thankfully it was almost nap time!)

He refused to take them off for the school run so ran into the playground in a fetching pj & wellies combo. Needless to say, we got  a few odd looks!


Do you think Harry is happy with his new pjs?! 

I liked a lot of things about these pyjamas. The feel of the material, the quality of the printing and the cuffs on the bottom of the trousers. Harry is small for his age but often needs 2-3 years clothes for the leg length and these fitted perfectly. There was plenty of room in the waistband but not so much that they fell down.

Harry loves these and is so disappointed when they have to be washed. Very often pyjamas can lose their shape after one or two washes but these are still in great shape after being washed many times. They are still very soft and have retained their bright colours. 

Tree Fu Tom pyjamas are available from Tesco and you can follow Tree Fu Tom on twitter 

*We were not paid for this review. We were sent a pair of pyjamas for the purpose of this review. All opinion is our own and based upon our experiences of the product.
