The Ultimate Girls Tutu
Bear has one of these adorable dressing-up tutu’s, and I have to say they’re not only ridiculously cute, but oh-so-clever in design too. The waistband is not just elasticated, but fully extendable with a button system, to allow full and proper size adjustment – Bear is a skinny ole toddler, but I know this tutu not only fits her now, but in all likelihood will do so in 2 years time as well. Bob & Blossom have...
Bestest Christmas Gift Ideas No.6 – Emma Bridgewaters ‘Men at work’ lunch box tin
Oh how I hate lunchboxes! I knwo, I know, a necessary evil – but they’re so horrible to look at! Except, of course, for this lovely traditional lunchbox tin from Emma Bridgewater. We have had it on review, and Katy gave Ben the tricky task of putting it through its paces; “Ben uses it 3 times a week for pre-school and so very proudly. Oh, many a little boy in the pre-school waiting room has shuffled over to see,...

Bestest Christmas Gift Ideas No.2 – Maileg Mice in matchboxes (but they’re all mine, mine, mine)
I just can’t tell you how sweet these Maileg Mice are. Sweet, charming, traditionally quirky and SO pretty you simply have to smile. Armstrong Ward is one of my favourite take-five-minutes stores, with too many yum things to tell you about here. But I just couldn’t resist these adorable Maileg mice when I spotted them, and felt a Bestest Gift Idea whoosh over me when he arrived in the post. They totally live up to their...
Lakeland Slow Cooker Review
I have to admit that I’m a bit unorganised about feeding the family. Some weeks I ‘get it’ – planned menu, the right ingredients ready in the fridge/freezer/cupboards, different family meals every night. But more often I find I’m glancing at the clock and it’s nearly 5pm and there’s nothing planned, nothing ready, and nothing in the cupboard. And of course if the girl isn’t fed and in bed by 6.30pm she’s a Foul Beasty. Fish...
Spotted! Giant Strides
Needed to get a new pair of good wellies for Big Son – searched the net – couldn’t find what I wanted at the right price ’til I found Giant Strides! Big Son now has a shiny new pair of decent wellies WITH soft, warm wellie socks and I have a new place to go when I’m looking for Crocs at a decent price for the Summer. Oh, mustn’t also forget to mention that Giant Strides are also a very decent...
