Massage in baggy undies.
A couple of weeks ago, I went for a massage. I haven’t had one for a while. I’ve never been much of a massage person, but after I had my first child (6 years ago), I was desperate for one. It was (apart from the baby) pretty much all I could think about. I felt beaten up and out of touch with my body (having mostly seen it as a receptacle for someone else’s body for nine months). When Harry was about two weeks old, I found a...
MP3 player for children – step up the SanDisk Sansa Clip+
My boys have all had MP3 players for a year or two now. They love them – and we love that they love them.

See, I don’t really mention this stuff much. My friends know me well. And I’m sure the teachers at school are fully aware that I’m a mother who rarely brushes...
Pictures by Bear… Kids Tough Digital Cameras #MyKidsPhotos
We’ve had the Fisher Price Kids Tough Digital Cameras on review – ostensibly for Jolly, who at 6/7 is just too young (and ham-fisted) to trust with a proper camera. But as much as he loves it, as soon as he puts it down it is picked up by Bear. Well, it’s supposed to be tough enough to handle a toddler, so we let her to see what would happen (in the interests of serious reviewing of course, and nothing whatsoever to...
