Plain Lazy MEGA £10 sale on!
We LOVE Plain Lazy. And I admit it – we owed them a review back in June for their properly awesome ‘The World’s Your Lobster’ tee. The husband love sit. But I failed to write about it. And now they don’t have any in stock. Which is sad, because it’s awesome… So awesome he took a rare selfie of himself in it… But it’s not all sadness. No no no. Because Plain Lazy are in the...
The Person Controller – David Baddiel’s most excellent new children’s book
When I was asked if I’d like to give away a copy of The Person Controller, I’ll admit I didn’t leap about. I mean I really like David Baddiel – when he’s nattering aimlessly away with Frank Skinner. But I’ve never read any of his books (sorry Mr Baddiel…), so I really didn’t know if his latest offering would be up to much. (what? Look, LittleStuff is nothing if it’s not honest) So...
Choosing a Car Seat – what a minefield.
Choosing a car seat is one of those essential purchases that come in your Pregnancy To Do list, along with cot, babygrows, ridiculously cute baby hats and super-extra-worryingly-thick sanitary pads. But it’s often once they grow out of those first carry-them-around-in newborn seats that often come as part of your pushchair travel system that the decision making sets in. When my oldest (now 16) was moving into a bigger car...
The astonishingly lovely ‘Imaginary Fred’ from Eoin Colfer & Oliver Jeffers
Any conversation about children’s books is going to feature a couple of names at some point. Oliver Jeffers. One of the very best picture book authors/Illustrators in the whole widest world. We have a complete library, and my book-absorbing 8yr old STILL regularly revisits the astonishingly beautiful ‘Stuck’ and ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ on a regular basis. And Eoin Colfer – the man who gave the...
A Confession for You, TK MAXX… #GiveUpClothes
At the bottom of the cupboard in my wardrobe is a box. Inside that box is a pile of clothes. Not a big pile – just a neat, folded, carefully placed pile. A range of items – a basic wardrobe collection, in fact. Jeans, tops, a cardigan. All worn, but all looked after, and still with ‘plenty of wear in them’ as my Granny used to say. They are all maternity clothes. My youngest child is eight. There will be no more children. And yet,...
Win a £150 Gift Card from Smyth’s Toys with Scooby Doo LEGO!
Okay come on – hands up who owns a child who’s made a stop motion? How often have you downloaded your camera only to find 178 images of ever-so-slightly-different lego men in fabulous scenes? Yes, me too. In fact, the LittleStuff YouTube channel still proudly boasts the No.1’s first public attempt (he’s 16 now… and will prolly kill me for sharing it again…) So I watched with a gleeful dose of happy...
