Blurb Books. What do we think?
Well. I’ll show you, actually… I did warn Blurb books that I was not going to be a good reviewer for them. I’m married to a high-end professional wedding photographer, and one of my many hats is designing his (hand-bound-in-Italy) wedding albums.Let’s just say I Know My Albums.No no, Blurb books said. Go for it. So I did. I created a book with our 2011 images ready for the annual Gift For the...
Review: SanDisk Extreme® USB 3.0 Flash Drive. Stop YAWNING, it’s good!
I would like to tell you how fabulous this little USB stick is. How fast it works, how sturdy it is. But sadly I can’t. Because I opened the pack, put it on my desk, and it disappeared. Quicker than you can say STICK it had vanished into the clutches of a grasping teenager. “Oh aces, thanks Mum, I totally need this to get my I.T. in tomorrow” And so it was gone. Oh I have seen it again. When it has been dutifully...
Review: bloom’s coco go Baby Seat/rocker
If there’s one thing that pleases me very much indeed it is products designed really well for babies. And my cup runneth over when those self same uber-practical products are incredibly easy on the eye. The Pretty’s no good without the practical to back it up, is it? So when those clever chaps at bloom decided to create a new rocker, I was agog. And just LOOK what they came up with! *stands back to allow the beauty to...
Review: The Petite Star Bubble. Yes – THAT Njoy stroller.
Have you seen it yet? The Petite Star Njoy Bubble is creating a bit of a storm in certain stroller circles… and we were dead excited to be one of the first in the UK to be asked to review the award winning stroller. Well, when I say ‘we’, I don’t actually mean me. Clearly my brood are too old for a stroller now, so I had to fight off offers asked one of the review team to do the honours for me....
Review – What to Expect When you’re Expecting
So – what to expect when you are watching What To Expect When You’re Expecting (sorry, I couldn’t resist). The storyline follows five couples as they each discover their pregnancies and their impending parent status. Obviously the situation of each couple is different, and between them they cover a wide range of (mostly) credible scenarios. Couple 1 – Jules and Evan (Cameron Diaz and Matthew Morrison) are a...
Review – Mac & Ninny Bookplates from The Wise House
Bookplates. I love them. I always have done. As a child, opening up a book and seeing the official ‘This is MINE!’ sticker was always brilliant (maybe because I was the last of four, and very little actually was ‘mine’, most things were my sisters first…). So when The Wise House sent these Mac & ninny bookplates to review, I couldn’t resist them. They’re GORGEOUS! And much nicer than I...
