Win 1 of 10 Twirlywoos Book Bundles
It’s the Twirlywoos – Great BigHoo, Toodloo, Chickedy and Chick, and Peekaboo too! If you haven’t come across Twirlywoos, then you probably don’t have a pre-schooler in the house. These lovable little squeakers (if you’re old enough, think the mice from the marvellous mechanical mouse organ and you’ve got their conversation down pat) are a sweet little family who face all manner of every day situations, and in...
WIN 1 of 10 Bing Bundles!
If you’ve had a toddler at any point in the last ten years or so, you can’t have failed to come across Bing the gorgeous rabbit. And more recently you’ve probably noticed Bing’s TV debut, too. Frankly – we love Bing. It’s a series of toddler picture books that actually speaks to parents too, making the unending repetition of reading the same one over (and over and over…) again just a little more...
Gorgeous Spring Bright Flip Flops – are your toes out yet?

The Converse are okay, obviously (it’s never NOT the season for Converse, is it?), but those big ole boots and heavy leather shoes? NO, thank you. All of a sudden I want to get my toes out.

Oh, the desperate, imperative urgency I felt about those crib sheets. What if I didn’t have enough? How many was enough?...
KidED – parents, you’ll LOVE this free app.
We all know that screentime is here to stay for our kids generation – and I think most of us agree it’s a pretty amazing opportunity for them. The breadth of the the world’s knowledge is literally at their fingertips, available for the searching (although I admit with the wealth of wisdom at her own delicate fingertips, my then-8yr old preferred to amuse herself and her friends by asking Google “how d’you...
Fancy a 2-in-1 tablet? We’ve tried the Venturer BravoWin
Most families now seem to have at least one tablet that the kids have access too – a lot of kids also have their own, of course. And tablets are pretty awesome – I completely denied they had any use for a few years when the iPad first came out, and predicted an early demise – what a stupidly unnecessary bit of kit, why do we need a tablet when we have a computer at home? Silly me. My iMac is on all day every day...
