Minecraft – a Top Ten Tips for Parents
Minecraft – if your child is not already playing it, they’ll have a membership near the top of their Christmas list, I’m guessing. But do you actually understand what it is? How it works? The risks and pitfalls of letting your child loose online within its confines? No, I didn’t either, to begin with. Thankfully I have a young teen who has been a Minecraft fanatic since the very first Beta version wa-a-a-y back...
Review – Braun ThermoScan 5 IRT4520
When you have a small child, it’s pretty easy to tell when they have a temperature, isn’t it? Well, actually… yes and no.

They are brilliant for the chilly windy beaches in November. And if you find yourself out for a stroll on the moors with a wind chill factor of -3 degrees,...
Review – Tower of London Ice Rink
(reviewed by Sandra from SaSaSlings and her rather willing family) We love the Tower of London. We have visited it many times as a family, so when we heard about the temporary open air ice rink that has opened in the moat surrounding the tower, we jumped at the chance to try it out as a family.

Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Super Very-Ever-So-REALLY Soft Dressing Gown.
Is there ANYTHING nicer than a super thick soft dressing gown to snug up in on a chilly morning? Or even NICER on a chilly evening by the fire, curled up with a mug of hot chocolate. And this particular dressing gown from Vertbaudet is one of the thickest plushest ones I’ve come across. It’s a struggle for me to get the girl to wear anything else at the weekend, if I’m honest. It has press stud fastenings down the...
