New Competition – Win £100 Amazon Voucher with DC Kids!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed a distinct difference in the way my youngest, Bear (unbelievably, she’s almost 9 now) chooses her entertainment. She occasionally watches TV, but she’s very selective about the shows she watches and she’s far more likely to make regular breaks in the day for catching up with her favourite YouTube channels. And I understand it – I mean, how many of us...

Chicken Run – 10 surprising things I never knew about chickens
So we’ve had The LittleStuff Four for over a month now – and we’ve accidentally settled into a chicken-keeping routine. Every morning I’m up first, and I potter down to the coop while the kettle is on the boil and let them out for the day. Blue always accompanies me, and presses her nose to the wire at eye level to the top of the ladder to watch them as they come out (always in the same order, though...
Our Halloween Crafts – costumes for soft toys. Yes Really. #BostikBlogger
We kept things simple this year – Bear is always keen to do crafts, but it’s rare we have time in a week for a big long craft session. So I find that we end up doing more if we keep things quick and simple – if I know we’ll be done in 30 minutes, I;m less reluctant to start getting all the craft stuff out of it’s various ooks and crannies (roll on the new craft table. One week to go!). So we started off...
Dear Parents, Even Your Non-Gamer Teens Need A Gaming Laptop
You may of course own a Gamer Teen like me – one who has been wailing for months that she neeeeds a new PC (but seriously – where are you going to PUT one?). Or your teen (and you) may think Steam is simply what makes creases come out of clothes (and concentrated-chicken-poo-dog-sick come out of the carpet…).Either way, they Need A Gaming Laptop. So we need to make a few things clear. Firstly – Gen Z teens NEED...
