Just the Best & Prettiest Kindle Fire HDX Case – Lente Designs review
When the 8yr old got a Kindle Fire HDX for her birthday, I kew it should have been a double-gift, and come with a Kindle Fire HDX case. Because it is utterly pointless anyone at all having a nice tablet if they haven’t got a nice case. Quite apart from the pretty-factor (let’s be honest, tablets are NOT attractive things), there is the serious issue of protection. Having an unprotected tablet around is simply asking for...
Spotted! I bloody love my cat mug
I Bloody Love My Cat Mug. And I do – bloody love it, that is. Isn’t it great? Just guaranteed to make you smile smugly, and reach for a stroke of a softly arched back while you wait for the kettle to boil (or at least not curse too loudly as you trip over the fur bomb winding around your feet whilst your sleep head tries to co-ordinate the kettle and the tap first thing in the morning). It even works on me – despite...
Bedding for Teenagers – Bright Stars Organic Cotton
Finding bedding for teenagers can be really tricky, I find. They’re WELL past the stage of wanting their favourite comic book hero or tv character sleeping next to them each night, and yet they’re usually not ready (especially the boys) for the adult offerings of floral patterns or plain old block colours that seem to be the only alternative. So I let out a Whoop Of Happy when I was looking at the Fine Cotton...
OXO Tot Seedling high chair review
OXO Tot Seedling high chair review reviewed for us by Molly Forbes, ably assisted by the delicious Baby Girl High chairs. You have no idea how many different types there are until you’re standing in the middle of the baby department in a shop looking at high chair upon high chair staring back at you. From wooden to plastic to metal, cushioned to non-cushioned, with trays and without trays, adjustable height to fixed height…. it’s all...
BEKO DW663 Review – Best Family Full-size Integrated Dishwasher
We’ve been asked to run a BEKO DW663 Review – we’re a large family, and our dishwasher has to work hard to keep up. Here’s what we honestly thought of it… We know from bitter personal experience that not all dishwashers are created equal. We’ve had the cheapest of the cheap, and we’ve had the less modestly-priced versions (I’ll admit we’ve never tried the properly top-end ones, our...
Spotted! Achingly pretty vintage melamine picnic plates!
I LOVE eating outside in the warmer weather, but in the past melamine picnic plates have been less-than-inspiring. But I just spotted this over on John Lewis. Isn’t it SO pretty? That vintage green, that soft floral meadow impression of a design… and it’s melamine, so utterly perfect for summer eating in the garden, or whisking out for impromptu picnics. This is actually the contrasting side plate in the Croft...
