Look who’s back! The return of Mustafa.

Thank you for all the concerned messages, mails and tweets regarding the loss of Mustafa, and some of the genius suggestions of places we had yet to look. Thankfully, just when we had finally given up all hope and were starting to compose begging mails to Maileg themselves for the supply of just-one-more even though they no longer make Mustafas, a gleeful shout erupted from Jolly’s bedroom yesterday afternoon. “I’ve...

Missing – One Mouse. (*Warning – emotional post alert*)

As you, dear reader, will know, a love affair started in this house around Christmas time. These charming little mice did bewitch all of our hearts, but for Pink the love was total. This is her on Christmas Day night, poorly and restless in Mummy & Daddy’s bed: And so the love began. Mimi and Mustafa (named by Gangy (Granny) on a whim, and apparently unable to change it to anything else) have been constant night time bed...

Spotted! – Most gorgeous of t-shirts on Etsy. MOO!

So there I am, browsing Etsy, like you do (Oh yes you do) – when all of a sudden my attention is nabbed by the MOST lovely t shirt. Just how gorgeous can one pig print get? Best of all, being Etsy and therefore all hand printed (my fave bit – stamped with locally-grown potatoes)  it comes in sizes from itty bitty 6mths to galumphing great 6 years! Now tell me you haven’t just fallen in love with this cleverest little...

Fisher Price Lion Booster Seat Review

The Fisher Price lion booster seat has been seriously road tested in my house by my 2 year old, who takes meal times very seriously. Like all children’s equipment the seat came with a full instruction manual, in at least 12 languages. But frankly I managed to ‘assemble’ the lion head back to the seat base and then add the tray without the need to refer to the manual (pat on the back for me!), and the straps were...

Cosatto 3sixti Highchair – What WE Say…

The Cosatto 3sixti looks great. The seat is large with two recline positions, a padded cover, and an easily removable two-part tray (the top part can go in the dishwasher). The seat cover is easily removable, which is of course important since you need to clean underneath it. The chair’s easy to clean too, because it’s all moulded and rounded, so there aren’t so many nooks and crannies for all the junk to get wedged...

Pushchair – The Micralite Toro Review

  As always, we’re pretty excited for the Micralite Toro Review – who doesn’t love a new pushchair to put through its paces? ‘Toro’ means ‘bull’, a label which doesn’t accurately describe this buggy. Which is a good thing, because after all, who wants their little cherub catching a lift off a runaway bovine? So let’s start from the only aesthetically bully feature, the push-bars. Adjustable to suit your grip,...
