MicroScooters – perfect for the school run #BackToSchool
Every experienced mum knows that as cooter makes the school run a whole heap easier – and speedier. The child who dawdles and refuses to walk and complains of tired legs will rarely refuse the opportunity to scoot. Although you may find yourself in an enforced exercise regime yourself as you jog to keep up… unless, of course, you’ve treated yourself to an adult scooter to join in the fun (seriously, how much more fun...

Ragtales – Beautiful Toys with a Beautiful Story
AS you can imagine, we have been sent a LOT of of soft toys over the years. I once tried to add up the value of all the soft toys in the daughter’s then-five-yr-old bedroom. It frankly made my eyes water. We’ve been sent toys by the biggest high street giants, and tiny little handmade gems by Etsy sellers. We’ve got a 5′ rabbit (named FluffyWully. Don’t ask.), and an entire house full of small Maileg...
Toys For Girls. Yes, really.
After three boys, I was a pretty confident parent and was ready to roll on through the next few years with a measure of experienced comfort. *hollow laugh* How little I knew! Having a daughter was a WHOLE new ball game – but not the way you might typically expect. Yes there were pink gifts, pink clothes, an excess of soft toys and a ridiculous amount of soldiers and snipers sitting around having tea parties (this is what happens...
Lego Dimensions game is coming… *excited face*
I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, but there was no way lego were going to miss out on the new genre of ‘toys to life’ games started with Skylanders (and joined rapidly by Disney with their Infinity game, and Nintendo’s Amiibo). Actually I love the concept – the joining of a physical toy interactively into a pretty traditional video game is a genius one – blurring the lines between the two....
Animal Jam Review – by the 8yr old (and a bit more by me).
When we were asked to cover an Animal Jam Review, 8yr old Bear might have squeaked in joy and demanded we say yes NOW please and can she have the code NOW please, and do we have the code yet please, and she play NOW please… We LOVE Animal Jam! We’ve been reviewing for a month… well, when I say ‘we’, I actually mean 8yr old Bear. But she really properly loves it. And I love it for a number of reasons....
