The Family Cookbook – Mother’s Day Gift Guide

I know, I know – it doesn’t sound terribly exciting. But actually, I LOVE this book. Really very much a lot. Like most people I have a collection of recipe books (and like most people I always seem to fall back on the same three), but my most-used recipe collection is  a lever arch folder. In it I have loosely-organised sections (dinners, baking & Christmas pretty much covers it), and I keep in there the recipes I cut...

Spotted! Baby cord smock dress. Utterly delicious

  Isn’t it the very sweetest thing? I can’t tell you how much I want this baby cord smock dress – such adorable colours, and in the softest baby cord that’s 100% cotton. Three buttons on the reverse make dressing quick and easy, and finished with those puff sleeves and a red berry pattern. Just too pretty for words, and oh so practical too – pretty enough for a party, but soft and comfortable...

Animal Jam Review – by the 8yr old (and a bit more by me).

When we were asked to cover an Animal Jam Review, 8yr old Bear might have squeaked in joy and demanded we say yes NOW please and can she have the code NOW please, and do we have the code yet please, and she play NOW please… We LOVE Animal Jam! We’ve been reviewing for a month… well, when I say ‘we’, I actually mean 8yr old Bear. But she really properly loves it. And I love it for a number of reasons....

Spotted! Sweetest little navy cord pinafore with birdies.

Love love love this sweet little navy cord pinafore dress with applique and embroidered vintage birds. So unbelievably cute – and would look even more adorable rushing around on a small person. Pretty enough for a party, it’s practical enough for every day – and totally goes through all the seasons too. Just add layers in the colder weather! Available in sizes 1-7yrs, the navy bird cord dress is available from the...

Valentine’s Gift – the USB Mix Tape

I know, it’s ridiculous. almost £30 for a mix tape. But… there’s a charm to them that just refuses to die. And this is as close as we can get without tracking down a tape player and blank cassettes – and then how much use is that going to be for your loved one when they want to actually listen to it anywhere but their bedroom? Unless you can track down an old cassette Walkman too… So, in the absence of...
