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...
Lego Dimensions game is coming… *excited face*
I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, but there was no way lego were going to miss out on the new genre of ‘toys to life’ games started with Skylanders (and joined rapidly by Disney with their Infinity game, and Nintendo’s Amiibo). Actually I love the concept – the joining of a physical toy interactively into a pretty traditional video game is a genius one – blurring the lines between the two....
Win over £90 of Letts GCSE Study Guides #SpringIntoLearning
We’re genuinely excited to be working with Collins in a brilliant campaign this Spring. As any parent knows, this time of year is marked by a Series of Unfortunate Events – some by the name of SATS, 11+, Mocks, GCSE’s and A Levels, others simply end of year exams. But it’s not just about children cramming for exams – we ALL love to stretch our brain by learning new skills and trying new things. When learning is doing what you want to...
Animal Jam Review – by the 8yr old (and a bit more by me).
When we were asked to cover an Animal Jam Review, 8yr old Bear might have squeaked in joy and demanded we say yes NOW please and can she have the code NOW please, and do we have the code yet please, and she play NOW please… We LOVE Animal Jam! We’ve been reviewing for a month… well, when I say ‘we’, I actually mean 8yr old Bear. But she really properly loves it. And I love it for a number of reasons....
*New* Nintendo 3DS Review – pre-release!
I love being a Nintendo Ambassador – we’re genuinely huge fans, and love the handheld consoles and the wii. But I do hit a slight issue when I’m reviewing. Because *whispers* I have never actually played on a 3DS. Or a DSi, or DS, or GBA either. So telling you how fabulous the latest incarnation is frequently baffles me. Thankfully, though, I do have a perfect solution, in the form of my home-grown Nintendo fanboy....
Razer introduces the Naga Epic Chroma Mouse for wireless MMO gaming – Christmas Gift Guide
I know – it took me a while to get it too. Just as a keyboard for me is for tapping to make letters appear in your screen, a mouse is for swooshing around the desk to get to where you want to go. But no. I have been taught the error of my ways by my gamer teens. A mouse and keyboard are so very much more. I didn’t really buy into it… until I sat and watched them play. THEN I got it. Honestly – the way their...
