ScuttleBug! (no, we hadn’t heard of them either)
I knew the Scuttlebug trike was going to be a winner as soon as I took the box out of the postage wrapping. My little one started hopping about with excitement, squealing in that ear-splitting charming toddler way. Thankfully the scuttlebug literally took moments to be up and ready for her to start using (amazing how fast those squeals become tears!). She scooted backwards a lot. Then realised it went forward too… and she was...

A Perfect White Skirt For Summer – clothes for tall women from Long Tall Sally

The length is, if anything,...
Clothes for Tall Women? I give you – Long Tall Sally. *nods*
The one and only problem I have with being tall (I’m a pretty happy 6’) is finding clothes to fit. And it’s not just the height thing, either – I’m not a nice evenly spaced stretched-out medium person. Oh No. I have the back length of a 6’2” person, and the legs of a nicely above average 5’10”. Oh, and I’m also of above-average hip-and-boob-age. As you can see, clothes shopping is generally a disaster. Nothing fits up and down...
The Shark Steam. I love it.
*yawn* I know, right? A steam cleaner? Seriously? But – bear with me. Because I love this little purple baby. I really do. And I’m no clean freak. In fact, I try very hard to do as little housework as I possibly can. Sadly, with four children, a giant puppy-dog, and living in deepest darkest mud-filled rural Dorset, a certain amount is necessary. Particularly on the floors. I have hardwood flooring and tiles throughout...
