The MOST perfect child’s lamp – The Bunny Rabbit
Oh how I love this lamp! And oh how my daughter loves this lamp too! What a darling little rabbit he is – though at nearly a foot tall he’s not really in the ‘little’ rabbit class. (and yes, he is a ‘he’. Wully, actually, is how he’s known around here. Just in case you were wondering) Just a gorgeous gorgeous lamp. Bright enough to read by, and yet dim enough to not make you yelp with...
Fabulous Art Box Tin – mais oui!
I LOVE this little tin! Actually – it’s not so little; at over 20cm long it’s perfect for holding brushes as well as paints or piles of collage scraps or a gazillion colouring pencils or a family of Sylvanian Rabbits or the entire collection of hair bands/clips/ribbons… That’s the trouble with useful Pots to put things in. You never know what to put i them when you’re 5. I had this tin neatly placed...
When LittleStuff went to Frankie & Benny’s. Twice.
Having been asked by Frankie & Benny’s to go along and review their new menu, we were only too happy to oblige – with four children and a teeny tiny bank balance, its not often we take them out en masse for a meal ;) The nearest F&B’s to us is Yeovil (20 miles away), so we duly booked a table during the holidays, and turned up 20 minutes before the allotted 6.30 time… only to find the restaurant was...
The Whirlee – another review classic from @becaboop
Right. I’m going to be honest with you. This Whirlee ride-on toy and I have a serious love/hate relationship… LOVE the fact that despite its plastic it is actually a fairly stylish piece of kit. We had the red design to review which I loved, why can’t more toys be red instead of the obligatory blue or pink that is thrust upon us? (They do offer the gendered red or pink but this third colour way saved their butts in my opinion.)...
Okiedog Changing Bag review
I love this changing bag! I have been sent Okiedog’s Urban Mondo bag in red… and I also have a six week old baby alongside two other children – four and six. When my older two were tiny my changing bag was heavy and thicker in material; so you not only had nappy weight and all the other things that go in but also the actual weight of the bag. The Okiedog however is incredibly lightweight (but robust) and the strap is...
Sunday Recipe – The Best Family Fruit Cake
There are times when nothing will quite do but a bit of comfort baking (oh yes, we know for a fact half the nation is at it on a Sunday). And when I’m having one of *those* days weeks, there’s one recipe I head to first. It’s an old one from the classic Dairy Diary Book of Home Cookery – a recipe book which every kitchen should contain. I remember my Mum regularly using the original 1968 version, I received a copy of the 1992...
