Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – Makin Bacon…popcorn..ba..pop…popbac?
So. You love popcorn. You need that movie snack… but you love bacon just as much. Oh no! Its a snack dilemma! What to have with your movie? You want your favourite snack, but which IS your favourite? Bacon or popcorn? You love them both, it’s toooo hard to decide, each has its upside and its downside for preparation…but its worth the hassle, right? I mean for both, the taste sensations are in your opinion out of this world, and...
Molo Snow Boots. Brrrrrilliant. Very Pink, mind. But brilliant.
Molo Snowboots. LOVE them. Even if they are really (REALLY) pink. And you don’t need snow to love them, either (though I have a feeling that when (if) it snows, these boots will be loved so much they’ll have to be prised off a certain small pair of feet with a crowbar). They are brilliant for the chilly windy beaches in November. And if you find yourself out for a stroll on the moors with a wind chill factor of -3 degrees,...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Super Very-Ever-So-REALLY Soft Dressing Gown.
Is there ANYTHING nicer than a super thick soft dressing gown to snug up in on a chilly morning? Or even NICER on a chilly evening by the fire, curled up with a mug of hot chocolate. And this particular dressing gown from Vertbaudet is one of the thickest plushest ones I’ve come across. It’s a struggle for me to get the girl to wear anything else at the weekend, if I’m honest. It has press stud fastenings down the...
Floppy trousers and a stripy jumper. Does it get any better when you’re 5?

Softest cotton sweater (with a 10% swoosh of cashmere for that extra softy softness) – not too chunky and thick, perfect for layering, enough colour for interest and that quirky star over your shoulder for a touch of...
Review: Arthur Christmas. *smiles happily*
ANOTHER Christmas film? I know, right? Now we do LOVE our seasonal film viewing – but we’re picky, only adding the very best to our collection, and ignoring the growing dross pile as years go by. So when we were sent Arthur Christmas to review we settled down with the popcorn ‘en famille’, with cautious expectations. I’ll be honest – none of us really fancied it when it came out at the cinema last...
Review – Brilliant Unisex Winter Coat Ski Jacket
I LOVE this coat. It’s a ski jacket, really, but achingly practical as a school coat too. Packed FULL of quality details that make it worth every penny. Firstly – it’s not lined with a thick fleece or eiderdown padding, so it’s not a massively warm coat on its own. But I was happy with that – adding another fleece layer on a cold day isn’t a hardship, and for boys tearing around I find the thick...
