Spotted! Mr Jade from Snooshy
Oh I’m in LOVE with my new find – Knuffels A La Carte! SUCH a fab website, its pages bulging with quirky, funny, odd – yet endearingly cute ethical and fairtrade toys. And look who I found lurking in the Snooshy section? Mr Jade, no less. Just too cute to ignore. And yet – so adorably practical too. Big enough for a small-fisted cuddle, not one but TWO twisty dangly textured bits to twiddle, a sweetly-crooked...
Spotted! Beautiful Family Tree from Famille Summerbelle
Oh, I love this! I would love it in my kitchen. And I know my children would all love this too, hanging in their bedrooms.

So, what happens if you throw a couple of pairs of goggles ta them? I’ll show you....

One of a range of personalised ‘moments in time’, £39 from Delightful Living, who’s shop you can find on Not On The High Street.
Maxi Cosi Opal Car Seat Review
In general you have 2 choices of car seat styles for new born babies, a rearward facing one (which will last 9-12mths), or a forward facing seat that will last until the baby is 18kg or thereabouts. The advice from the government and most motoring organisations is to use a rearward facing seat while the baby is small as this protects their necks – clearly the downside of this is that the seat won’t last for as long and you’ll...
