Kickers Lego School Shoes
Shoes are a tricky thing to talk about – I mean, just how exciting can a pair of school shoes be? Well… if they have Lego bricks on them, apparently very exciting :) The collaboration between Kickers and Lego has meant that for the first time ever the 7yr old is very very VERY excited to put his shoes on in the morning – and to keep them clean too. Oh yes – you heard me. He cleans them. Without prompting. There is a huge range of...
Mamas & Papas Tour buggy review
When Piran reached six months old I was pleased to be able to use a lighter, umbrella folding style buggy for popping to the shops. The Mamas and Papas Tour is designed as lightweight solution for holidays and days out. It is easy to open and close and has a clip to keep it together. It has a carry handle and a shoulder strap which makes it easy to carry. Folded it is quite small and fitted easily into my boot with lots of room (and I...
Puppies and Soldiers in the garden…
… and an attractive Death Stalker (apparently) too. The puppy, of course The Soldier – hat and jacket models own. Sigh. The Death Stalker. Lovely. We’ve been sent a pack of face paints by the fab people at Snazaroo, so with a holiday afternoon meandering past and no one having any better suggestions I offered to paint a face. Or three. Well – my dodgy artistic efforts aside (GCSE art wasn’t much help) it...
Stripy Blankets!
Stand by for a bit of a love fest. See, I do love soft things. And stripy things. And lovely coloured things. And the blankets from the Stripy Blankets Company? All those things. Oh yes. And spots too. You need one. No, honestly. This blanket is perfect, and Pink adores it nearly as much as I do. And the best thing is that it’s such good quality I can see her still using it in 20 years time. Despite her best ministrations, this...
Pictures by Bear… Kids Tough Digital Cameras #MyKidsPhotos
We’ve had the Fisher Price Kids Tough Digital Cameras on review – ostensibly for Jolly, who at 6/7 is just too young (and ham-fisted) to trust with a proper camera. But as much as he loves it, as soon as he puts it down it is picked up by Bear. Well, it’s supposed to be tough enough to handle a toddler, so we let her to see what would happen (in the interests of serious reviewing of course, and nothing whatsoever to...
Breville Hot Cup Review
I’ve been trying to write a review of the Breville Hot Cup for days and I’ve found it really hard. Because I assume you want to know more than “It’s great! Buy one!” But it really is great and it’s really simple too so there’s not that much to say. It arrived, I took it out of the box and, because I’m impatient, went for the “Quick Start” instruction card rather than reading...
