Spotted! Would you just LOOK at this notebook…

Well now. Yes, I admit it, I’m a sucker for a lovely notepad. What is less well known (though not exactly rare) is that I also happen to be a sucker for all things Penguin (thats the orange book designs, not the black and white cold birds. Though they’re sweet too. Or the chocolate biscuits. Which actually I’m not so fond of, though chocolate is chocolate in a pinch). And of course all things Jane Austen. So. Ta Da!...

Pictures by Bear… Kids Tough Digital Cameras #MyKidsPhotos

We’ve had the Fisher Price Kids Tough Digital Cameras on review – ostensibly for Jolly, who at 6/7 is just too young (and ham-fisted) to trust with a proper camera. But as much as he loves it, as soon as he puts it down it is picked up by Bear. Well, it’s supposed to be tough enough to handle a toddler, so we let her to see what would happen (in the interests of serious reviewing of course, and nothing whatsoever to...

Spotted! Bestest overnight bag in the world.

So, last week I was whisked off for a spa break by my loveliest of lovelies friend. Fabulous, yes? Well… actually… Cue much angst. What the heckster was I to put my things in? I needed a big-enough-but-none-too big bag, perfect for overnight-ing sans small people. As is always the way, only when I need an object do I suddenly realise I haven’t one in my possession. Such was the case last week (case? Did you see what...

Missing – One Mouse. (*Warning – emotional post alert*)

As you, dear reader, will know, a love affair started in this house around Christmas time. These charming little mice did bewitch all of our hearts, but for Pink the love was total. This is her on Christmas Day night, poorly and restless in Mummy & Daddy’s bed: And so the love began. Mimi and Mustafa (named by Gangy (Granny) on a whim, and apparently unable to change it to anything else) have been constant night time bed...

Bobux Soft Leather Childrens Slippers review

I have to admit I’m a bit of a late convert to slippers. Never wore them myself, and never really got why a thick pair of socks wasn’t better for the children’s feet than restrictive slippers. Then I did start to wear them myself (get thee away from me, cold feet), and was persuaded that they were quite nice – but still felt a pair of socks was better on small growing bones. Then the lovely Caroline at Ollipops (probably rolling her...

Spotted! For the Dads – The Real Shaving Co.

I was doing the weekly on-line shopping when Dearest Husband piped up, “I need some face cream please.” – “Eh?!” I intelligently responded. Turns out that for months, the Winter months especially, he’s been dipping, daily, into my very special, too good for him, facial moisturiser to keep his dry skin at bay. No wonder I’ve been getting through the stuff so quickly!! Argh! So, a few browsing...
