Is your child keen on photography too? #MyKidsPhoto

Like all kids, for mine, right from toddlers there’s always been a fascination with taking their own photographs – either surprising us with they they get with their own child-friendly cameras, or often with a stolen use of my camera, phone or tablet. (Come on – how often have you picked up your tablet and found a stream of selfies or close ups of the dog on there?) Recently, we started actively doing some...

***CLOSED*** Win £200 with Legal & General

Legal & General have asked us if we thought you’d like to win £200. Naturally we said “Nahhh…” (or maybe we said “not half they would…”) It’s a cool little questionnaire – thinking about your bucket list, what you’ve achieved and what you WANT to achieve. It certainly mad em e stop and think a minute. Here y’go – usual Gleam widget magickery, and one random...

Just the Best & Prettiest Kindle Fire HDX Case – Lente Designs review

When the 8yr old got a Kindle Fire HDX for her birthday,  I kew it should have been a double-gift, and come with a Kindle Fire HDX case.

Quite apart from the pretty-factor (let’s be honest, tablets are NOT attractive things), there is the serious issue of protection. Having an unprotected tablet around is simply asking for...

Spotted! I bloody love my cat mug

OXO Tot Seedling high chair review

OXO Tot Seedling high chair review reviewed for us by Molly Forbes, ably assisted by the delicious Baby Girl High chairs. You have no idea how many different types there are until you’re standing in the middle of the baby department in a shop looking at high chair upon high chair staring back at you. From wooden to plastic to metal, cushioned to non-cushioned, with trays and without trays, adjustable height to fixed height…. it’s all...

BEKO DW663 Review – Best Family Full-size Integrated Dishwasher

We’ve been asked to run a BEKO DW663 Review – we’re a large family, and our dishwasher has to work hard to keep up. Here’s what we honestly thought of it… We know from bitter personal experience that not all dishwashers are created equal. We’ve had the cheapest of the cheap, and we’ve had the less modestly-priced versions (I’ll admit we’ve never tried the properly top-end ones, our...
