Sprintzone – simply my all-time fave kids trainers
I hate kids trainers. There, I said it. I know, I know – they’re practical and sensible and necessary. But I’m sorry – they’re ugly. No matter how often my boys would fall gladly on a pair in the shoe shop and declare that THESE were the ones they’ve been waiting for, I never understood it. And girls trainers are possibly worse, splashed all over with lurid pink, often accented with pink glitter and...
‘Yay for May!’ & just LOOK at these bargainous girls clothes from Joules…
So there was I, meandering about t’interwebs as I’m prone to do and I just happened to fall int o the Joules store. I know, right? Clumsy… And lookety look what I found… 25% off – ALL childrenswear. Men’s and women’s styles too, but ALL the childrenswear! Naturally the only thing to do was to have a quick peek inside, just for the sake of research obviously… *runs inside* And oh Lordy...
WIN 1 of 10 Bing Bundles!
If you’ve had a toddler at any point in the last ten years or so, you can’t have failed to come across Bing the gorgeous rabbit. And more recently you’ve probably noticed Bing’s TV debut, too. Frankly – we love Bing. It’s a series of toddler picture books that actually speaks to parents too, making the unending repetition of reading the same one over (and over and over…) again just a little more...
KidED – parents, you’ll LOVE this free app.

The breadth of the the world’s knowledge is literally at their fingertips, available for the searching (although I admit with the wealth of wisdom at her own delicate fingertips, my then-8yr old preferred to amuse herself and her friends by asking Google “how d’you...
Fancy a 2-in-1 tablet? We’ve tried the Venturer BravoWin
Most families now seem to have at least one tablet that the kids have access too – a lot of kids also have their own, of course. And tablets are pretty awesome – I completely denied they had any use for a few years when the iPad first came out, and predicted an early demise – what a stupidly unnecessary bit of kit, why do we need a tablet when we have a computer at home? Silly me. My iMac is on all day every day...
Disney Animal World – have you seen?
If there’s one thing all my children have loved, it’s sets of things. Children love to collect, don’t they? And I love it when what they’re collecting is not only fun for them, but also helps them learn a little more too. So I was really happy to see this fabulous new Disney Animal World series of books – all of our favourite Disney heroes, and a cool series of books packed full of interesting and fun...
