What We Thought of the HP Slate 7.
During our road trip through France recently, we were fortunate enough to be reviewing the HP Slate 7. Well – I say ‘we’ in the loosest possible terms. What I mean is, I saw it briefly before it was whisked out of my hands, only to be returned once we were back in the UK. But actually – rather than resenting taking a screen with us as I thought I would, I was glad to have it along. Here is the Slate 7 – a...
Girls Saffron Yellow Duffle Coat. *swoons*
When a parcel arrived from Vertbaudet this week, there was a small squeak of interest from the girl of the house. But when I opened it and this saffron yellow girls duffle coat fell out? The squeaks turned to “oooh!”s from everyone, even the teen boys. I mean seriously. Who WOULDN’T want a coat like this? It’s a Thing. Of. Beauty. But even better than the sheer prettiness, is the sheer...
Best Pool Toys for Confident Swimmers – Spinning Sticks, a Clam Hunt and a Ball!
When we went to France last year, we took a set of dive sticks with us. We soon learned that 3 sticks between four diving children is nowhere near enough (even though we only had THREE diving children when we arrived – it’s amazing how quickly they learn when they have a private pool to play in all day).So this year, we went prepared with extra pool toys, thanks to the kind people at SimplySwim. The first set we picked...
Zinc Outbreak Scooter review – Best stunt scooter for under £65!
LittleStuff and the Zinc Outbreak Scooter review. We love scooters – we do. The skateboarding thing never really hit my boys. But my boys all like a nice safe handle bar to grab hold of as they steam up the half pipes. (I’m not too sorry about that, actually…) Hurtling round the halfpipes But as scooters have generally caught on in the UK and become absolutely okay to be seen hurtling around the half-pipes on, there...
When LittleStuff Went To France – Les Suvieres Review
So finally, after two days and almost 1,000 miles, we arrived at our villa Les Suvieres, waaay down South near St Tropez. First impressions were great – a long quiet tree-lined drive up an almost unmade track. As the car slowed to a stop we were greeted by a smiling older lady whose English was as good as my French – but we had enough to get by, and the welcome was very warm. After a couple of minutes her daughter arrived,...
Doodle by Stitch Tablecloth – Write On, Wash Off & Lots of Laughs
The fabulous folk at Will & Glory asked us to review one of their wonderful products; the Doodle by Stitch Tablecloth – a cotton tablecloth that comes with a set of eight washable felt tips and permission to draw, write and doodle ALL over it. Weirdly fabulous! The first outing of the Doodle cloth was when my eldest had some friends over and the sun was shining. I made them lunch, arranged it on the outside table with a pot...
