Wellness CORE dog food – grain-free pet food

NB – the following Wellness CORE dog food review has been really very willingly reviewed by #BlueTheRottweiler. We were gifted the bag of food – all opinions Blue’s own, obviously, because dog’s can’t lie. Unless you have a dog, you don’t think pet food differs much. You’re probably aware it can be wet or dry, and you’ve seen it’s in different flavours in the supermarket. But...

The Bilibo Review – and why every home needs one

Well. The Bilibo. ‘Tis an odd thing. A shiny, plastic saucer bucket. Kind of. Thing. Whats it for? Well – pretty much whatever your child needs, actually.

Mr LittleStuff might have tutted and sighed at me when I told him this. Apparently I’m a fool. Because Slick Willies is one of the UK’s leading Skate shops – and the oldest in London (they’re a 70’s child like me,...

The Way Back Home – Oliver Jeffers

  Once there as a boy, and one day, he found an aeroplane in his cupboard… He didn’t remember leaving it in there, but he thought he’d take it out for a go right away. At first, all went well and the plane flew higher and higher and higher until… suddenly, with a splutter, it ran out of petrol. The boy was stuck on the moon… and he was not alone… “The Way Back Home” is a fantastic little story – just as you’d expect...

New competition – Win one of three copies of LEGO® Awesome Ideas

I have found in my long years of parenting that children come in two LEGO-types – The Free-Builders and the Planners. No.1 son was a Free-Builder. Everyone knows one – they eye a large box of bricks with barely-concealed glee, frantically grabbing for a handful and clicking them together as their brain races ahead, rummaging endlessly for just the right piece to complete the vision in their soul.
