Crocs. Yes. (even a Prince wears them now…)
We know, we know. Crocs. Rubber shoes. (now just stop recoiling in horror, and read a bit more pleasethankyou) I know. I do. But. I can’t actually think of any item of footwear more suitable for a child than one made of rubber? But you HAVE to get the real deal. Please don’t think it’s okay to opt for the cheap imitation versions out there – there’s a whole world of difference between the two. Real Crocs...
Ragtales – Beautiful Toys with a Beautiful Story
AS you can imagine, we have been sent a LOT of of soft toys over the years. I once tried to add up the value of all the soft toys in the daughter’s then-five-yr-old bedroom. It frankly made my eyes water. We’ve been sent toys by the biggest high street giants, and tiny little handmade gems by Etsy sellers. We’ve got a 5′ rabbit (named FluffyWully. Don’t ask.), and an entire house full of small Maileg...

Don’t you suck your teeth in horror – we were doing the...
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...
Toys For Girls. Yes, really.
After three boys, I was a pretty confident parent and was ready to roll on through the next few years with a measure of experienced comfort. *hollow laugh* How little I knew! Having a daughter was a WHOLE new ball game – but not the way you might typically expect. Yes there were pink gifts, pink clothes, an excess of soft toys and a ridiculous amount of soldiers and snipers sitting around having tea parties (this is what happens...
