Read MoreStop by with a soft and flowery hello to Maia skincare.
Like everyone we love some nice-smelling soft stuff to pamper ourselves with.
And we’re pretty sure you’re no different. But of course you already have a bathroom cabinet full of the stuff, and you have your favourites, yes?
Yes, of course.
But what if we said this was entirely natural too?
Entirely natural, and entirely fantastic at what it does?
And not only natural, but handmade?
Handmade in Wales?
Handmade to be extra concentrated, so you need less?
Handmade in Wales using fairly traded, ethically sourced sustainable ingredients?
Palm Free, Cruelty Free and proudly Vegan?
Well, you’d bite my soft and sweet-smelling hand off, wouldn’t you?
Of course you would.
Did I mention the bottles are pretty too?
(welcome, Maia skincare. We are SO glad you joined us. *beam*)
Read MoreMamas & Papas Tour buggy review
When Piran reached six months old I was pleased to be able to use a lighter, umbrella folding style buggy for popping to the shops. The Mamas and Papas Tour is designed as lightweight solution for holidays and days out. It is easy to open and close and has a clip to keep it together. It has a carry handle and a shoulder strap which makes it easy to carry. Folded it is quite small and fitted easily into my boot with lots of room (and I have a small car!).
My particular favourite feature is the window in the hood that helps you see your child. The backrest lowers quite a bit compared to most buggies of this type I have seen which was great if we were out at nap times and the handles were at a good height. The rain cover was very easy to fit and when it was folded up it fits in a pocket on the back of the hood which is very handy. The shopping basket is quite big, but it is hard to get items in and out of it, and almost impossible when the backrest is reclined. My only other issue is that sometimes the steering is a little jerky, I think it is something to do with the front wheels but it is not a huge problem.
Overall I am really pleased with the Tour, and we have used it almost every day since we got it.
Currently £89 from Mamas & Papas

Read MoreHold open the doors – All About The Boys is coming in
You need to prepare yourself when you go see LittleStuff’s newest friend, All About the Boys.
Because I feel obliged to warn you that Things May Not Be as You Expect.
Tis true. It happened to me.
So I just need to make one thing very clear.
It is certainly NOT ‘All about the Boys’.
Oh no.
There are Many Pretty Things in its pages that are most certainly All About The Girls.
So, now we have that cleared up, take a delve into the cool clear freshness of its pages and you’ll find childrens clothing of quality and substance. Branded designer clothes imported direct from America, which means limited high quality stock at great prices. What’s not to love about that?!
And for my own part I love that the site covers all the way up to age 14. Fan-flippin-tastic for those of us with older not-so-smalls (I have my eye on some oh-so-smart Ralph Lauren shorts for no.1 son). But also wa-a-ay back down the other end there’s bespoke girls dresses to coo over from Karen’s own Milly By The Sea label.
Stock sells out quickly, so be sure to check back regularly for newly listed items. And don’t tell me you don’t feel calmer just wafting around the lovely website, either.
Read MoreA First Hoorah for Peanut and Pip!
Oh, we do love pretty websites. And quirky websites. And invitingly funky websites. Oh, and websites that sell lots of yummy ‘oooh!’ stuff too.
So.
Needless to say, we LOVE Peanut and Pip! (I mean – how cute is their LOGO, for goodness sake?)
The latest member to be welcomed into the LittleStuff House, I’ve seriously just lost 15 minutes while I tried to write a simple welcome post – I got sidetracked meandering through their pages.
Don’t miss my favourite Mandy Sutcliffe Belle and Boo prints… or the fantastic T’es fou Louloup… or the reach-out-to-stroke Playforever racing cars… or… maybe I’ll step away from the mouse now…
So go on – go look for yourself. I dare you…
