My husband is much less of a man than he used to be. Literally.
When you’ve been married for twenty years, it’s rather easy to become… comfortable. You get older, your responsibilities increase with the number of mouths you’re trying to feed, the economy dips and making ends meet gets harder… thank goodness the one thing you’re not worrying about is your relationship. When you’ve been happily married for as long as we have, there’s a real danger you...
Looking for a new tablet case? Try CoverUp (ours was a case for the Toshiba Excite Pro).
When my two oldest were gifted new tablets of their own this Christmas, I knew the next purchase on the agenda would be two decent covers to protect them in. My oldest had a tablet previously, and a soft neoprene cover which did nothing to protect it against a cracked screen when it was accidentally stood on *refrains from rage-muttering AGAIN about this*. I know my boys are not alone – tablets for children were a huge market...
Perfect perfect sweater for Spring from Long Tall Sally
I do understand that Long Tall Sally is not the shop to be going to for a lot of women. But if you do happen to be over 5’8″, I can’t tell you how much you need to be stopping by and taking a look. As I’m nearly 6′ (hey, that half an inch makes all the difference, okay?) I’ve been a fan for rather a long time. So when I was asked to review an item from the new Spring/Summer range, I jumped...
Seagate’s ‘Portable Wireless Plus’ Media Drive – perfect for travelling
I know, looks a bit… dull, doesn’t it? But stick with me – the Seagate Portable Wireless Plus Media drive is an external hard drive – with a genius twist which makes it not-dull-at-all. Yes, it has a terabyte of memory, which is HUGE – and yet it fits in the palm of your hand. And we all know (*stern bossy face*) how important it is to have an extra hard drive to back up all your essential documents, old emails...
Rosetta Stone: First Impressions
My 14yr old been trying the Rosetta Stone course for Japanese for a month now – here’s what he thinks so far: Rosetta Stone, in case you are unaware, is a language learning service which can teach you over 24 different languages! These include French, German, Japanese, Greek, and Russian. The selection is huge! I will be basing my impressions on the Japanese course. There are many different types of packages, you...
Go With The Throw
Before Christmas we were working with Laura Ashley, who challenged some bloggers to use their Shaldon Stripe or Tartan Cranberry throws in a non-conventional way. My 6yr old was pretty creative with it when I wasn’t looking, but actually the very best use we found for the throw was the kind that involved fires, movies and sofas. Lovely. Laura Ashley have now posted what everyone else did in their Go With the Throw Challenge...
