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!

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...
