Spotted! Kids Converse Street – yes, Chuck Taylors for the Winter!

We LOVE Converse boots – you just can’t beat a pair of classic Chuck Taylors, even after all these years. But. They’re not the most practical of winter shoes, are they? They get wet… and cold.

The first set we picked...

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...
