The best colouring books for older children. And for BOYS!
My girl loves to draw/colour/paint/stick/sketch/design/embellish. So far so ordinary. But my 9yr old boy loves to draw too. But colouring books for older boys? They don’t exist. I have SEARCHED for ones that don’t contain bunnies and flowers and clowns. Not happening. So imagine my joy when I fell across Rosie Flo’s site. Genius it is – but not jst for boys. The whole Rose Flo range are the same. Why limit a...
Father’s Day Gifts – The Dad Journal
I really love this idea, and think it could be something very special. This isn’t just a diary for a Dad to write in – this is a ‘journal of a lifetime’, something for a Dad to write down his life story. Great for new Dads, but even greater for our own Dads, discovering the man behind the parent, recording all those stories and places that will one day be gone. Only recently I was looking at old photographs of...

Father’s day. Giving the Obvious with a Boy’s Toy power saw.
Big Boys Toys. It’s a cliché – but the thing about cliché’s is that they’re clichés because they’re true. Not always, not every time… but often enough. And actually, it’s true. One thing that makes The Man happy is a new tool to put in the shed (stop sniggering, I’m not being allegorical here…). It’s an obvious gift, maybe, but a whole heap better than socks or chocolates is...
Spotted! Fabulous Toy Storage Bins
For a child’s bedroom storage, there is actually nothing easier than a bucket shape for lobbing things into, is there? Just buy toy storage bins; it doesn’t matter if you’re tidying up bricks, stashing the ridiculous soft toy collection, or trying to keep the dirty socks in one place – give them a bucket, and it makes life a gazillion times easier. And we LOVE this selection of canvas toy storage from Nubie....
Balance Me Skin Serum. Absolute Essential Magic Goo.
As a teen I rarely got a spot, and those that did show up were often on my forehead and easily hidden by some judicious fringe layering (and copious amounts of hairspray). Yet in my 30’s I suffer with monthly breakouts, often accompanied by one single mediaeval-sized pustule pulsing somewhere very obvious on my face. Lovely. Thanks, hormones. I’ve tried all sorts over the years, but a few months ago I was sent a teeny tiny...
