The best colouring books for older children. And for BOYS!
My girl loves to draw/colour/paint/stick/sketch/design/embellish. So far so ordinary. But my 9yr old boy loves to draw too. But colouring books for older boys? They don’t exist. I have SEARCHED for ones that don’t contain bunnies and flowers and clowns. Not happening. So imagine my joy when I fell across Rosie Flo’s site. Genius it is – but not jst for boys. The whole Rose Flo range are the same. Why limit a...
Father’s day. Giving the Obvious with a Boy’s Toy power saw.
Big Boys Toys. It’s a cliché – but the thing about cliché’s is that they’re clichés because they’re true. Not always, not every time… but often enough. And actually, it’s true.

It’s an obvious gift, maybe, but a whole heap better than socks or chocolates is...
The Canon Powershot A3400 IS – Review
Being married to a photographer, you’d think I wouldn’t get to take many pictures, wouldn’t you? Not so. The husband doesn’t ‘do’ point-and-shoot compact cameras, and it’s simply not practical to take a gurt big SLR and lenses when you’re just walking the dog or off to the woods or to play cricket.

The Day We Dyson-ed The Dog
World – meet Blue. Blue? This… *extends hand towards screen* is World. This is what we did with Blue last week…
Balance Me Skin Serum. Absolute Essential Magic Goo.
As a teen I rarely got a spot, and those that did show up were often on my forehead and easily hidden by some judicious fringe layering (and copious amounts of hairspray). Yet in my 30’s I suffer with monthly breakouts, often accompanied by one single mediaeval-sized pustule pulsing somewhere very obvious on my face. Lovely. Thanks, hormones. I’ve tried all sorts over the years, but a few months ago I was sent a teeny tiny...
The Squirrel Point Hoodie from Lucas Frank
You know how buying stuff for older boys is just… tricky? The style is never what you AND they agree on. The fabric is never soft/smooth enough (or is that just mine that insist on the Soft test before they will wear anything?). The quality is never good enough to withstand the Boy Thing. Well. Here’s your answer. Lucas Frank haven’t been around for long, but they’re making quite a splash as they have spotted...
