Halloween, LittleStuff style…
We don’t do Trick or Treating – we never have. It’s a new thing that neither myself or Mr LittleStuff grew up doing, and it juts never sat right with me that I would take my children out to knock on a strangers door and expect sweets. I’m not morally opposed, I’m not hugely anti… it’s just not the way we ‘do’ Halloween. Instead, we tend to do what i did as a kid, and enjoy a...
Virtual Reality – it’s coming to a room near you.
It’s the next in our Tech Stuff for Baffled Parents series – where we try and help demystify the tech that your teen gamer is begging you for, and helping you make an informed choice on what to buy. This week we’re taking a serious look at Virtual Reality. I know, I know. Anyone who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s thinks of VR as a Tron-like weird and clunky network view while you’re wearing a headset...

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...
New Competition! Share your Parenting Hack, and win 1 of 3 Sudocrem Goody Bags – and £100!
Life hacks – we can’t get enough of them, can we? We’re all addicted to those astonishingly genius little hints and tips that make us go “oooh!” and wonder why we never knew it before.

My recent favourites are wetting your finger to retrieve a little dropped egg shell – instead of chasing it around the bowl through the...
