Childrens sun lotion – Nivea’s Swim & Play

When the nice people at Nivea noticed we were soon to be headed on a family holiday to France (from the brilliant Keycamp) they wrote and asked if we would mind awfully trying out their new ‘Swim & Play’ sun lotion, designed specifically for busy summer children. Crossing the vat of sun lotion off my boots order, I quickly replied that  I supposed I could be persuaded, and so it was that a tube of Nivea’s Swim...

Spotted! Playhouses. Oh, my, what Playhouses.

All children love a good playhouse, don’t they? Me, I had a blanket over my Mums clothes horse in the middle of the grass in the summer – or a blanket over the dining room table in the winter. And it made me very happy. I do remember a friend who had a real live Wendy House though. Oh, the envy. My boys are all keen for a tree house – how good they would be, how little trouble they would be, how many chores they...

Safe childrens headphones – fab!

Finally! Headphones actually designed with children in mind! I won’t let mine wear the in-ear buds that came with their MP3 players, but I still worry that without constant monitoring (and often with it) they’ll have them up too loud and damage their ears. So when JVC contacted me about these new specially-designed 3+ headphones with correct sizing, lightweight super-soft padding AND noise limitation, I jumped at the...

Cheeky Wipes – Reusable baby wipes (Really?) review

We gave our intrepid reviewer Keris the fragrant and enviable task of the Cheeky Wipes Reusable baby wipes review, seeing as she has a small boy with a lovely appetite (and we all know what THAT means in the nappy department). Now Keris’ reviews are always worth a read, but this one has to be my favourite all time review… “I was a bit apprehensive about these wipes. Who could be bothered with reusable wipes?...

Bionaire review.

Oh what a wonderfully exciting little dull bit of machinery this is! I am happily in no real need of an air purifier. No amount of dust, pollens or pollutants will irritate my eyes, make me sneeze, or cause me restless nights. Sadly, it is not so for the husband. He suffers from hayfever  and cat hair/dust mite allergies, usually waking feeling bunged up and itchy-eyed. He was very dismissive of the whole air-purifier malarky, and...

Little Helper Baby Aqua High and Low Chair review

This is a highchair that you will either love or hate. It’s not flashy, or posh, or patterned, nor does it have a million and one functions. Which is why I love it. Jacob is 9 months old and has been sitting confidently since 6 months. This highchair is perfect for him – but wouldn’t be very supportive for a wobbly sitter. It was very simple to put together, and easy to take apart to put in the car if you’re...
