Hauck’s Dream’n Play Travel Cot
On receiving the travel cot it was already on to a winner for just being block colour in design and not having any generic disney images of winnie the pooh or a rubbish picture of a giraffe on it! Score! Why must all baby equipment have ‘stuff’ scrawled on it? Bleurgh! The pale pastel colours are sweet, although plane black would be perfection too be honest or even single primary colours. Now, in terms of putting the thing...
Filofax – retro, but still good?
I was thrilled to receive this beast of a filofax to review; I haven’t used a filofax since I was 18, at university, and Princess Di was wearing her blue blazers and faded jeans. I honestly thought the brand had been really locked into the 80s and felt it no longer held any relevance to me. But – I’ll admit it. I have been very pleasantly surprised! Firstly – have you SEEN the styles available? Gorgeous they are!...
Philips Wake up Light. Buy One. That is all.
As regular readers will know, my eldest son has had M.E. for two years, and mornings are NOT his best time. Never a morning bird, even as a small child he liked a lie in. So couple his natural tendency with the slow-starting body that comes with M.E. and he’s on to a total non-starter, if I’m honest. On a bad day, he’ll simply lie in bed, unable to even contemplate the effort involved in lifting the duvet and placing...
Book review: Jack Frost by Kazuno Kohara
I honestly didn’t think Pink would enjoy this. It was too… odd. Angular. Frosty, actually. Not at all the soft, gorgeous imagery she usually chooses. Shows what I know. This book comes out again and again. Happily. Because I love it as much as Pink does. The simply paper cut style illustration is beautiful, and far more evocative than I expected. Perfect, in fact, in a story of a world caught in the depths of icy winter....
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #28 – There Are Cats…
There are Cats ……..in this book. And they are of the very best seriously sensible, naughty, purr-ey, hidey sort. I bought this book on a whim – at £2.45 it was hardly going to break the bank, and seemed like a good stocking filler. When it arrived, I flipped through it, like you do. And despite being all alone in an empty house, I actually laughed out loud. Not smiling with a huffey sort of noise, not an amused...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #26 – Jonnys Sisters Letters
Don’t forget these gorgeous lovelies from Jonnys Sister. Only they’re not His Sisters. Or, in fact, Jonnys. They’re mine. Or yours. Or whomever you buy them for, presumably. Gorgeous, lovely, wonderful, sweetly delicious letters. Simple, stylish and just wonderful. Can you tell I have a bit of a soft spot for ours? You can read why I love Jonnys Sister here – but honestly, they are very special, and the sort of...
