Spotted! Childrens Map of the World
When I was young, few books drew me back as often as the big Atlas. You know, the one with tissue between the pages, so big you couldn’t actually hold it up but had to sprawl across the floor to look at it? (*note to self: must trawl the secondhand bookshops to find the children one like it) I’ve been looking for a wall version – but the ordinary map-of-the-world types seem so dry and *whispers* dull. Then I...
Spotted! Utterly *want* this retro pears Overnight Bag
Would you look at this beautiful vintage-look overnight bag from Cloth Ears? With leather look handles, trim and bas, and even a leather look “pear” zip charm/pull, and to top it all off it’s lined with polka dot fabric!
New Nivea 50+ Suncream for children
When the nice people at Nivea noticed we were soon to be headed on another family holiday to France this year (courtesy of the rather brilliant Keycamp) they wrote and asked if we would mind awfully trying out their new ‘Pure & Sensitive’ sun lotion, designed specifically for busy summer children. I plopped it in the cupboard, ready for said French Trip. But then the sun came out. It’s always so unexpected...
Tear-free hair washing with a Munchkin Shampoo Rinser?

The “device” holds quite a bit of water, so one or two fills rinses the hair clean, which is a bonus when it’s the least favourite part of bathtime! Does it keep water away from the face/eyes? Well, the flexible rubber moulds perfectly around the forehead;...
Frilled skirt – pretty pretty.
I had to show you the actual pic of the skirt from Vertbaudet, because getting my girl to model it is impossible. She’s got three big brothers see. So while she adores all things pink and sparkly and fluffy and pretty, she’ll generally be found modelling them whilst handling a sharp shooter, sniping the ‘Emenies’, or bombing (BOOM!) the bad guys. Consequently, I get pictures like this… Oh. The skirt. Yes....
A Little Something Different for Mothers Day
No Flowers, Slippers or even Sold Out Telegrams. No. How about just whizzing you away somewhere really rather special for the weekend instead? Get the whole family, take your Mum, your children, and all spend a couple of days remembering what it is that makes Mothering the tippy-top fabulousness that it truly is? There’s the cottage in Cornwall that will allow you to sleep in a room like this… “Lantau Cottage is a...
