MP3 player for children – step up the SanDisk Sansa Clip+

My boys have all had MP3 players for a year or two now. They love them – and we love that they love them. But we were initially concerned about spending a lot of money on something they’d no doubt lose or break inside 3 weeks, so we bought the cheapest we could find (£7 max). When they worked, they were ace, but all too frequently they freeze or crash, or batteries need replacing, or the music needs updating as they...

Kickers. Pink ones. ’nuff said.

There aren’t many words to be able to share with you the happiness that comes with this fabulous pair of classic Kick Hi boots from Kickers.  These boots are just never off her feet – and this is the girl who hates shoes and wants to go everywhere barefoot…   First day at pre-school. Can’t smile for the camera, too busy admiring shoes.   Totally up to this hill-walking malarky. Move over, Boring Big...

And I can’t think of anything nicer to roll up into your hospital bag, or to slip into in those early days when a small thing like wearing something pretty can feel...

Cheeky Wipes – Reusable baby wipes (Really?) review

We gave our intrepid reviewer Keris the fragrant and enviable task of the Cheeky Wipes Reusable baby wipes review, seeing as she has a small boy with a lovely appetite (and we all know what THAT means in the nappy department). Now Keris’ reviews are always worth a read, but this one has to be my favourite all time review… “I was a bit apprehensive about these wipes. Who could be bothered with reusable wipes?...
