LOVING the Metro Mug from Sigg

    Oh I can’t TELL you how lovely this mug is! No, really I can’t. Because I’ve only used it once – the husband saw it, the husband STOLE it; and I’ve yet to get it back. It’s just too perfect see – he makes up a mug of coffee as he heads out the door on a shoot, bungs it in his camera bag, and that’s him set. And me left coffee-less, of course. I’ve also seen him bung...

Spotted! Totally *want* This Tea Tumbler

I don’t know about you but I rarely hold my mugs by the handle – I much prefer wrapping my hand around the comforting warmth, creating a multi-sensory enjoyment of a cup of the Good Stuff. I also have a secret love of all things wonky and odd-shaped (oh, hush). So how much do I LOVE this tea tumbler? A LOT, that’s how much. (and yes, it’s dishwasher safe too. Genius.) All available from Josies Pot Shop on Etsy,...

You never know what to put i them when you’re 5. I had this tin neatly placed...

The Best ‘proper’ MP3 For Children – the SanDisk Clip Zip

A couple of years ago we reviewed the Sansa Clip+, which my boys use and which we loved. Well, here we are, 10 days away from driving to Paris (*squeee*) and  woe of woes. Upon investigating the weird clonkety-clonk going on in the washing machine I spy, with a  sinking heart, one much-loved-and-often-stashed-in-a-pocket MP3 player spinning not-very-merrily against the glass door. Nightmare. I can do nothing but wait for the cycle to...
