Gorgeous wooden mobile from HABA review
Looking for a loud, garish, all-singing-all-dancing mobile? Then this is not for you. But if you, like me, love wooden, beautifully crafted mobiles? Then you will love the HABA Buzz Buzz mobile. And your little one will too. Honest. As soon as I opened the box I was in love. It’s just so cute! We tossed our other mobile aside (also a little wooden one) and put this one up, and my little one was very impressed. First she stared,...
The Ultimate Girls Tutu
Bear has one of these adorable dressing-up tutu’s, and I have to say they’re not only ridiculously cute, but oh-so-clever in design too. The waistband is not just elasticated, but fully extendable with a button system, to allow full and proper size adjustment – Bear is a skinny ole toddler, but I know this tutu not only fits her now, but in all likelihood will do so in 2 years time as well. Bob & Blossom have...
Lakeland Slow Cooker Review
I have to admit that I’m a bit unorganised about feeding the family. Some weeks I ‘get it’ – planned menu, the right ingredients ready in the fridge/freezer/cupboards, different family meals every night. But more often I find I’m glancing at the clock and it’s nearly 5pm and there’s nothing planned, nothing ready, and nothing in the cupboard. And of course if the girl isn’t fed and in bed by 6.30pm she’s a Foul Beasty. Fish...
WasItAnyGoods – LG Steam Direct Washing Machine review
We’ve had this machine for a year now. It has, in that time, performed in excess of 350 washes, and kept control of a family of 6’s clean clothes, bed linen and towels. A year ago I wrote a (loo-o-ng) and glowing review of this washing machine, the LG F1479FD56 Steam Direct 9kg. So, as we do for the ‘bigger stuff’ we review, I’m revisiting it after a years heavy use. What do I think of it now? Well. I...
LaplandUK – review pics
We were invited to take the whole family to LaplandUK on Saturday. It’s a 3hr drive each way for us, but it looked so special, we thought it would be worth the drive + 4 children (well, okay, ‘I’ thought it would be, Mr Laura was dubious but not unwilling). The review is coming on the main site later today, but here’s some pics from the visit. Was it worth the money (£405)? Well. Tough question, and depends...
Secret review – We no like the… Silver Cross Dazzle Pushchair.
Okay, as we always do, when we get a product we don’t like, we go back to the PR company and give them the choice – pull it? Or publish anyway? I’ve been avoiding writing the Dazzle review, simply because I kept waiting to fall in love with it. In the end, I wrote what I thought, and pushed it off to the lovely Silver Cross PR’s, expecting them to snatch it and run to the hills with it. But no. D’you know...
