Spotted! Betty the Bunny newborn set. *squeak!*

Would you just LOOK at this Betty the Bunny newborn gift set by Olive & Moss? *meep!* The romper is 100% cotton,  and is Far Too Cute, really. One size only, sadly, which is a generous 0-3 months – but what a perfect newborn gift! Not to mention the fact that it’s half prize in the sale, down to just £16! Betty the Bunny newborn gift set, £16, is available from the gloriously named  Burp!...

Stunning Isabella Oliver Luxe Tie Maternity Sweater

Contrary to popular opinion, I am not currently pregnant (yes, sadly, that baby belly is all me, me, me). But fortunately the lovely Nicole (rather unwillingly, as you can imagine) stepped up for us, and offered us the use of her delicious 34 week bump to drape the Isabella Oliver review over… When I was asked to review the Isabella Oliver Luxe Tie Sweater  I immediately went on their website and emailed a picture of it to my...

The one where Keris tries the Skoda Roomster

(And no, don’t you dare click away in boredom at a CAR review – this was written by Keris so you just KNOW it’ll be worth a quick squizz through…) After falling so much in love with the Skoda Yeti, we were all very excited about the prospect of the Skoda Roomster. As wonderful as the Yeti is, we thought it was maybe a bit too big for us and that the Roomster would be more fitting. We looked at it online and...

The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – Tollins 2, Dynamite Tales

The 8yr old LOVES the Tollins – and the new book is just as good as the first! Conn Iggulden is a bit of a hero of our family. I stumbled across his Emperor books in the library and was transfixed. Then came the Big Book for Boys – instant love from No.1 son. Then, as if half the family were not enough for him to have collected, he writes these really quite brilliant books for younger bigger readers. You know, the tricky...

The Bestest Christmas Gift guide – The Lego Minifigure Display Case. Oh yes.

For me, these are a le-e-e-tle bit pointless. I mean, the whole point of a Lego figure is to play with it, yes? Hmmm. Apparently no. Apparently, that comment is worthy of a most disdainful (and pitying) look, combined with a ve-e—ry pa-ti-en-t explanation  for the dear and aged Mama who doesn’t Get It. Apparently the ONE thing that drives any Lego-er insane is never ever being able to find the right figure. And never being able to...

Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Bippolo Seed & other lost stories from Dr Seuss

Did you know there’s a new volume of seven Dr Seuss stories out? Brand shiny new ones you’ve not read before? No, me either! *excited* But you need to be quick – They’re older stories, previously printed in magazines and never before in a book, and they are beyond the One Fish, Two Fish stage. I love them all, and I can’t possibly choose… “It’s hard to decide,” Said young Henry...
