Probably the best girls skate shoes ever – Naturino Sneakers #NotJustForBoys

Have a picky girl dresser? Yes, me too. Particularly, it seems, when it comes to footwear. And this winter my girl took against trainers – she wanted the best girls skate shoes, pleasethankyou. When we started working with the amazingly lovely people at Naturino they asked if we’d like to review. In fact, they insisted – “no, really, you must. Our shoes are different. We promise.” Now my daughter Bear is...

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...

Spotted! The Soft Toy Sloth. Trust me; you’ll know you need her once you see her…

I know, I know. Who on earth would think about a soft toy sloth. But when Mr LittleStuff showed me Orange Mama Sloth, I felt like I’d been missing out. Where has my Sloth been all my life? She’s the perfect bed-buddy, big enough to really cuddle. And such a fun addition to a shelf in the nursery! Her bright orange fur is very soft, and her face and ‘claws’ are made of gentle brown canvas. Her body is 12.5...

Ragtales and the three mice. DON’T miss these.

To call these soft little chaps ‘rag mice’ is doing them a bit of a disservice, isn’t it? I mean these guys are CUTE. Properly, achingly, can’t-put-them-down swee-e-e-e-eet. A few months ago we told you all about Ragtales, Mr Darcy Bear, and how they’re producing some Very Special Toys Indeed. But we saved the best for later. Because much as I love Mr Darcy Bear in his gorgeous duffle coat? These three...

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...
