The New Maileg Baby – Angel Mouse. *squeak*
Oh. Oh oh oh oh OH. Just LOOK who arrived in the post today. It’s no secret that we LOVE the Maileg Mice (warning: that link may cause a lip to wobble). In fact, Christmas would not be Christmas without Father Christmas leaving a new mouse in a matchbox to join the family (currently a large Cuddle Mouse, plus the family of Daddy Mouse, Mummy Mouse, Christmas Mouse, Mimi and Nuffa). The Maileg Mice are just… stunning. Small...
Child’s telescope – and this aint not no toy.
My no.2 son, Boy, who is now 10, has been mad keen on All Things Space for as long as I can remember. He has a rotating solar system hanging off his bedroom ceiling, glow in the dark stars decorating everywhere, reads books and books on Space, LOVES the planetarium at At-Bristol, and last Christmas, all he wanted was one of those laser shows that creates a starlit sky on your bedroom ceiling (bought for a squillion pounds, made him...

Keris does the i’coo pluto review
I resisted this buggy for quite a while.

The first time we used the Pluto, I didn’t like it. It felt flimsy to me, I wasn’t sure if I’d managed to put...
The Dodo Acad-Pad
Looking for a diary for the start of term? Look no further! In it’s own inimitable Dodo Style, the Acad-Pad is just… ace. Bags and bags of organisation at your fingertips – you’ll not miss a deadline again. Probably. No, seriously, I LOVE this pad. Every time I think “actually, it’d be really handy if it…” – it already does. Tear off corners so you can find where you are fast,...
Travelling with Children (Book review, not horror story. Honest).
I find booking family holidays incredibly stressful. In fact I always find myself considering not going rather than continuing with the stress of finding the perfect location, accommodation and date. And then when you actually set off… Catherine Cooper’s book – Travelling With Children: A Parent’s Guide – is an entertaining and practical guide to, well, travelling with children. The book will help you...
