Dora’s Enchanted Forest Adventures

Everyone has a favourite kids show and some stick in your mind for life. For me it was Choc-a-block and Finger Mouse, but for kids these days it is likely to be Dora the Explorer. I remember watching when B was about 3 years old and now it’s come round again as H is starting to interact with the show, so I was so excited when I heard about what Nick Jr have in store for Dora fans this month!

Dora’s Enchanted Forest Adventures is a three part special which sees Dora travelling to a magical world ruled by a unicorn king. All is not well in the kingdom though, so Dora and her friends have to be brave, kind, smart and strong to restore peace in the kingdom. With Elves, Fairies and Unicorns it is set to be a magical adventure for all!

I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of the DVD and I have to say it is fantastic. The first two episodes are the usual half hour, with an hour long finale. This is great because H won’t sit through a film yet, but she can watch each episode independently without me feeling mean turning it off when she gets bored!

Dora really is one of those feel good adventure kids shows that is educational too. I’m not sure if we went to Spain H would need to shout that she has seen a “Unicornio” but she’s actually picked up some of the punctuation really well!!

In true Nick Jr fashion, if you miss it the first time you can catch it again, but the three part special premiers on Tuesday 8th November at 4.30pm, followed by part two on Wednesday 9th at 4.30pm and concluding with the hour special on Thursday 10th November, again at 4:30pm. Not only is it guaranteed to catch your kids imagination but it will keep them out of trouble while tea is being cooked!! Each episode is repeated at 6:30pm too, so if 4:30pm doesn’t work for you, it doesn’t matter!

The full trilogy is being shown back to back on 7 other dates in November, including every Sunday, times vary but Nick Jr have done a great job at covering all time slots, your guaranteed to catch it at some point!

All about me!

For those of you who didn’t read my old blog, or just want to remind yourself of my background, here goes…….

I’m a 33 year old single mum. I have two daughters, B is 8 and H is 3. I have been single since I was 5 months pregnant with H, and yes they both have the same dad. They see him alternate weekends and holidays unless he is away with work.

When my marriage broke down I moved the length of the country to be back at home near family and unfortunately lost my job due to the credit crunch too. I returned to work in March 2010, as a Family Support Worker. It’s such a rewarding job but hard work too. I’m now in a new relationship with Mr D and have the added dynamics of his children and how they fit into both my life and my girls lives! Being a parent brings some challenges but I wouldn’t change it!

As a single mum it’s a great way to view my opinions and get other points of view. Don’t get me wrong I have some fantastic friends and family on my doorstep and I talk things through with them. Sometimes the view of a perfect stranger is a breeze of fresh air though.

So be warned, I really am getting into this now and I am likely to post some utter drivel as well as some (hopefully) interesting stuff. All I ask is that you comment honestly, I don’t expect my opinions to be agreeable to everyone and at times I will be looking for some opinions that contradict my own.
