Breville Hot Cup Review

I’ve been trying to write a review of the Breville Hot Cup for days and I’ve found it really hard. Because I assume you want to know more than “It’s great! Buy one!” But it really is great and it’s really simple too so there’s not that much to say. It arrived, I took it out of the box and, because I’m impatient, went for the “Quick Start” instruction card rather than reading...

M&P magic astro bouncer review

I’ll be honest. When I first got the Astro Cradle. I was not enthused. I really thought it was all a little too much, and I was sure my little one would not give a hoot about a cradle I could attach an iPod too, or one that vibrates, or one which has flashing lights, or different tunes…. or one that did all of that and more. But I was wrong. She loves it. Like proper loves it. In fact, she finds it hilarious. She sits in...

The Four, the Laundry, the Life… In which Green turns Pink.

When we finally decided that perhaps it was time for a room-shift, Pink was removed from the spare room (where her cot had been camping next to the spare bed for… erm… two years *blush*), and moved into the tiniest box room – previously Jolly’s. He, in turn, was moved to the delights of the ex-spare bedroom, which is far more suitably sized to a growing boy, and was only ever actually filled with visitors a few...

Look who’s back! The return of Mustafa.

Thank you for all the concerned messages, mails and tweets regarding the loss of Mustafa, and some of the genius suggestions of places we had yet to look. Thankfully, just when we had finally given up all hope and were starting to compose begging mails to Maileg themselves for the supply of just-one-more even though they no longer make Mustafas, a gleeful shout erupted from Jolly’s bedroom yesterday afternoon. “I’ve...

Missing – One Mouse. (*Warning – emotional post alert*)

As you, dear reader, will know, a love affair started in this house around Christmas time. These charming little mice did bewitch all of our hearts, but for Pink the love was total. This is her on Christmas Day night, poorly and restless in Mummy & Daddy’s bed: And so the love began. Mimi and Mustafa (named by Gangy (Granny) on a whim, and apparently unable to change it to anything else) have been constant night time bed...

Spotted! – Most gorgeous of t-shirts on Etsy. MOO!

So there I am, browsing Etsy, like you do (Oh yes you do) – when all of a sudden my attention is nabbed by the MOST lovely t shirt. Just how gorgeous can one pig print get? Best of all, being Etsy and therefore all hand printed (my fave bit – stamped with locally-grown potatoes)  it comes in sizes from itty bitty 6mths to galumphing great 6 years! Now tell me you haven’t just fallen in love with this cleverest little...
