![[AD - Gifted] Have you been to see the new @spacejammovie yet?
We were recently sent some awesome Space Jam themed t-shirts from @georgeatasda and @brandsin.ltd and the boys love that they can match with Mr H!](https://storage.googleapis.com/stateless-www-suburban-mum-com/2021/08/98f3cc2f-238823643_350842550094302_4860460144063668849_n-1.jpg)
![[AD] We’re halfway through the summer holidays already - it can be hard trying to juggle everything and keep the kids happy can’t it?
I’ve sent the boys off to @barracudas_activity_day_camps a few times this summer as they love all that they have to offer. There’s a range of activities to choose from every day and the chance to make new friends too.
There are still spaces available for camp and you’re not tied in to do a full week either as you can pick and choose dates that suit you depending on availability.](https://storage.googleapis.com/stateless-www-suburban-mum-com/2021/08/06576d85-239170469_2916949185233284_8472965703317535574_n-1.jpg)
![[AD - Press Visit] If you love a boat trip along the thames then you will love the @terriblethamestour bought to you by the makers of Horrible Histories!
The tour is led by two actors who tell us stories and fun facts as you sail along the thames taking in all the famous London landmarks. The trip lasts around 40-45 minutes and was great fun.

We love playing games - even the non-digital ones!
We were sent Kids Against Maturity to test out recently and the boys absolutely loved it. If you’ve not heard of it before, its the kid-friendly version of Cards Against Humanity that contains lots of toilet humour and innuendoes and features:
⭐️ 600 cards with over 40,000 combinations of answers
⭐️ Suitable for 4 or more players
⭐️ Suitable for children aged 8+
⭐️ Each game takes 30-90 minutes
⭐️ Playable any time, anywhere (it’s portable so would be great to take on car journeys/staycations)
I’ve written a full review of the game over on the blog (link in bio)
It’s available to buy at @SmythsToys and priced at £19.99](https://storage.googleapis.com/stateless-www-suburban-mum-com/2021/08/4aafa502-229961374_511892033399432_6200258640732886345_n-1.jpg)

If you have kids, chances are they will be getting very excited about the festive season and what better way to count down than with an advent calendar?
