It’s THAT time of year again…
Well, it is, isn’t it? I’m lucky – I married a good’un who thinks about nice flowers on a whim, not because the calendar tells him he ‘must’. But for an awful lot of people (men AND women – yes, yes, I buy him flowers too), 14th February is Where It’s At on the flower diary. And, yes, half the red roses of the world who have been teased and encouraged into believing “yes,...
Spotted! Betty the Bunny newborn set. *squeak!*
Would you just LOOK at this Betty the Bunny newborn gift set by Olive & Moss? *meep!* The romper is 100% cotton, and is Far Too Cute, really. One size only, sadly, which is a generous 0-3 months – but what a perfect newborn gift! Not to mention the fact that it’s half prize in the sale, down to just £16! Betty the Bunny newborn gift set, £16, is available from the gloriously named Burp!...
Stunning Isabella Oliver Luxe Tie Maternity Sweater
Contrary to popular opinion, I am not currently pregnant (yes, sadly, that baby belly is all me, me, me). But fortunately the lovely Nicole (rather unwillingly, as you can imagine) stepped up for us, and offered us the use of her delicious 34 week bump to drape the Isabella Oliver review over… When I was asked to review the Isabella Oliver Luxe Tie Sweater I immediately went on their website and emailed a picture of it to my...
The Bestest Christmas Gift guide – The Lego Minifigure Display Case. Oh yes.
For me, these are a le-e-e-tle bit pointless. I mean, the whole point of a Lego figure is to play with it, yes? Hmmm. Apparently no.

Apparently the ONE thing that drives any Lego-er insane is never ever being able to find the right figure. And never being able to...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Bippolo Seed & other lost stories from Dr Seuss
Did you know there’s a new volume of seven Dr Seuss stories out? Brand shiny new ones you’ve not read before? No, me either! *excited* But you need to be quick – They’re older stories, previously printed in magazines and never before in a book, and they are beyond the One Fish, Two Fish stage. I love them all, and I can’t possibly choose… “It’s hard to decide,” Said young Henry...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Gruffalos Child Magnet Book
What IS it with children and magnets? Well, whatever the attraction (Attraction! Geddit?! Oh, I make myself larf…), this book has it in spades. The Gruffalo’s Child – almost as beloved in this house as The Gruffalo itself – And a heap of magnets to play with, creating your own scenes in the book; having the owl tell the fox off, the bird peck at the snake…. oh, sorry, that’s just our bossy 4yr old,...
