Bobux Soft Leather Childrens Slippers review
I have to admit I’m a bit of a late convert to slippers. Never wore them myself, and never really got why a thick pair of socks wasn’t better for the children’s feet than restrictive slippers. Then I did start to wear them myself (get thee away from me, cold feet), and was persuaded that they were quite nice – but still felt a pair of socks was better on small growing bones. Then the lovely Caroline at Ollipops (probably rolling her...
Gorgeous wooden mobile from HABA review
Looking for a loud, garish, all-singing-all-dancing mobile? Then this is not for you. But if you, like me, love wooden, beautifully crafted mobiles? Then you will love the HABA Buzz Buzz mobile. And your little one will too. Honest. As soon as I opened the box I was in love. It’s just so cute! We tossed our other mobile aside (also a little wooden one) and put this one up, and my little one was very impressed. First she stared,...
Silver Cross Explorer Sport Car Seat Review
The Explorer Sport is a stylish looking car seat which was an important step up for my daughter – she had outgrown her Group 1 seat, and we needed something bigger (she was very happy to have one that looked more like her big brothers!) It had been slightly tricky to find a good car seat for her as she is small for her age (Note from Laura – car seat groups should always be measured by weight NOT age, so be patient like Nina and don’t...
Samsonite Blossom Slouch Changing Bag Review
Ok. I hate to keep banging on about it, but it’s six years since my last baby… six years ago the only changing bags around were either a black shoulder bag or rucksack, or a shoulder bag in various hideous baby prints such as teddies or jungle animals. I’m sure some women are happy to tote these around on themselves but I’m not one of them. Then along came baby number 3 and wow, in the intervening six years a changing bag...
Slopsville – our baby weaning diary. Week Six.
What do kippers, papaya, Kitkats, mashed potato, tuna, mango, yoghurt, broccoli, Weetabix, toast, cheese, peaches, salmon, scrambled egg, Philadelphia, and chocolate Buttons have in common? No, that’s not my hangover diet (well, take away the fruit/veg, add a packet of Boasters and fourteen cups of tea and it is, actually), it’s a list of the foods seven-month-old Joe has tried in the past couple of weeks. I’m not...
Silver Cross Buggy Organiser review
This is a new offering from Silver Cross, and is the step past the big ole changing bag. There comes a point when you have a running around toddler who is almost out of nappies and your baby-bag needs change. No longer do you need a bag that comes with 6,432 pockets and a kitchen sink as standard. But you do often need more a little more than a grown up’s handbag (remember them? I have fond hazy memories of half-empty bags and...
