Heads Up! Glorious New Girls Kickers Are In!
It’s no secret we’re HUGE fans of Kickers – not only am I a big fan from back in the 80’s, but this is my girl modelling her first pair SEVEN years ago. We’ve been fans of Kickers as solidly reliable kids shoes ever since – they’re school shoes which are tough enough to withstand the roughest playground, but stylish enough to keep fashion-conscious tweens oh-so-happy. But even I, with my...
Review of the Graco Evo XT – one rather fabulous stroller #GenerationGraco
Last in our #GenerationGraco series is a review of the Graco Evo XT – a fabulously sturdy pushchair that appears to be perfectly suited to our rural lifestyle. Once unpacked, clipping the axle, wheels and basket into place was a doddle, and we were literally ready to roll within minutes. Even with all the fab pushchair testing we’ve done recently, this one created an immediate impressed face. It looks great, of course, but...
Spotted – Don’t Touch Me Peasant!
I know, we all love a good mug. I know I’m not alone in having a collection, because certain mugs are needed for certain drinks on certain days. And today is definitely the day for THIS little beauty. Perfect, no? I found it in Frankly Noted’s rather perfect Etsy shop, and I neeeed it. Sadly they don’t ship the UK currently – but let’s start petitioning them to, yes? We need more of their mugs in...
When do I get my child’s eyes tested?
Hopefully you don’t need to think about your new babies eyes (except for gazing into them for the hours at a time, obviously) – all babies have a quick eye screen at birth (no, I didn’t know it had happened either), and then the Health Visitor will do another at their 6wk check. After that though, it’s up to you. Unless you see an obvious issue like squinting or eye rubbing, then it’s a good idea for hem...
Be Safe, Be Seen – we love these Hi-Vis ActionPaks.
I find I don’t have too much trouble keeping the younglings safe as the nights draw in during Autumn & early winter; they’ve had months of outside fun, and they’re happy to be indoors more for winter pursuits. But come January they are DONE with being inside. The faintest whiff of spring in the air, and we’re out at all hours, making use of the park long after we can actually see, and heading home on...
Spotted – Gorgeous Girl’s Horse T-Shirt Under £4 from M&S!
If you’ve got a pony-mad girl, this find I just spotted over in the M&S sale just might make her smile a bit… I just love it! I’m not a huge fan of animals on my clothes, but with a subtle and beautiful print like this you really can’t go wrong. And there’s not many girls I know who wouldn’t love a herd of white horses galloping through the spray. It’s a polyester tee so it’ll feel...
