WIN 1 of 100 #KickersPlayground nostalgia packs! YES!!
Oh, how we love Kickers. Way back in the 1980’s I yearned for that leather flower tag on my own round-toed chunkiness of a shoe (I never did get a pair). And when I started putting my children in Kickers I was sold and they became my go-to brand for my horde of growing feet. Kickers are just a brand that gets it… right. End of. The shoes are sturdy enough to withstand any amount of playground sliding and tree-climbing....
PERFECT Boden swimsuits reduced to clear!
I am stupidly super-fussy about my daughter’s swimming costumes. I know I am. Until such time as she grows big enough to make her own choices, I have very firm rules (which make no real sense, and I honestly make no judgements on other’s choices. This is all in my head, and I’m totally fine with that) For me, bikinis are a no. A v-shaped neckline which suggest cleavage? That’s out too. The same rules as lunchboxes apply in...

Spotted! Just look at this fabulous ‘Enjoy The Little Things’ Bedding
We have been big fans of Vertbaudet’s bedding for years – they always feature cool, funky kids prints in strong colours with not a branded TV character in sight. The quality is excellent (my 10yr old is still using the duvet cover Vertbaudet sent her when she moved into a ‘big bed’. And still loving it, too. So if I’m ever on the lookout for new kids bedding, I’m happy to tell everyone that...
50 Books Every 11yr Old Should Read
I’ve just come across this list which I first posted five years ago. I exclaimed aloud a lot and spent literally 20 minutes Oooh!-ing, Yes!-ing, Oh-D’you-Remember?-ing, and long pauses whilst I drooled over the list. And now fully intend to work my way right through it. Some I’ve loved, some I’ve never even heard of, let alone read. This is a very clipped part of the article, reproduced with kind permission...
Wild Foraging with Robinsons Fruit Shoots
I think I first wrote about our love of foraging six years ago, when there was an apple glut and we were about to review a juicer (handy). So when Robinson’s got in touch and asked if we’d like to forage for a new flavour Fruit Shoot, it was an easy yes for us (apart from anything else, as home educators, we’re always looking for new things to learn, and this was a fab way to get 10yr old Bear out into the woods and...
