Maternity Winter Coat? Look no further…

Finding a reasonably priced winter maternity coat can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Believe me, I know; I’m on my third pregnancy, and haven’t had much luck in finding one which meets my essential criteria of style, value for money AND warmth. In fact, I couldn’t find one suitable for any of my previous pregnancies. One of the considerations is cost – you don’t want to spend a fortune because let’s face it,...

God(dess) Ben shows us the Stokke Tripp Trapp.

  A high chair is, in essence, a baby’s throne. A place to issue orders from (More! No! Mmmm! Yuk! etc) and where punishments are dished out… “your punishment, mummy, is to pick up my spoon every 10 seconds”. So, really, it is only right that our little princes and princesses are given a suitable chair from which to reign. The Tripp Trapp chair from Stokke fits the bill perfectly – the simple but classy design...

Spotted! Sweetest Pomme-Pidou Vintage Rag Doll

  I’m not big on dolls, me. I never was. But a traditonal rag doll? Oh. Yes. Please. And this one from the fabulous Pomme-Pidou is just about everything I’d look for.  Her face is just blushingly sweet, and her beautiful clothes are fully removable (you can buy new Pomme-Pidou Rag Doll outfits too). Best of all Pomme-Pidou’s ‘Cathy’ is under £20 from Kiddymania (who actually sell a whole range of...

Phineas and Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension on the Wii. We *LOVE*.

Who doesn’t love Phineas and Ferb, huh? Definitely my favourite cartoon. So I was more than a little bit happy when the Phineas & Ferb 2nd Dimension game landed on my mat for me to review. Well, I say ‘me’. Naturally I’ve not actually been anywhere near it (and not for want of trying). It was immediately STOLEN by the 8 and 10yr old’s – and played. A lot. So, obviously, the review is down to...

Remember the Royal Tournament? Did you know it’s Back as the “British Military Tournament”

Growing up I ALWAYS wanted to actually go to the Royal Tournament. We would bits on the television, and I always wanted to see the bits I missed – HEAR the horses and the cannons and see the full effect of the gymnastic displays. I never did get to go. But last year, it came back (as the British Military Tournament, but what’s in a name?)! And now – I have three boys who are equally as dazzled, and longing to go see...

Spotted! Perfect Handbag Pouch

Have you caught on to these yet? Such brilliance – already HUGE in the States and Australia. You keep your phone/keys/purse in this – and then just switch it between whichever bag you fancy using. Plop it in your baby bag, and when you want to nip to the shop alone, you can just take this with you. Keep it in a large bag at work, and it’s ready with your essentials when you nip out to check those shoes you saw in the...
