Wild Foraging with Robinsons Fruit Shoots
I think I first wrote about our love of foraging six years ago, when there was an apple glut and we were about to review a juicer (handy). So when Robinson’s got in touch and asked if we’d like to forage for a new flavour Fruit Shoot, it was an easy yes for us (apart from anything else, as home educators, we’re always looking for new things to learn, and this was a fab way to get 10yr old Bear out into the woods and...
Review of the Graco Evo XT – one rather fabulous stroller #GenerationGraco
Last in our #GenerationGraco series is a review of the Graco Evo XT – a fabulously sturdy pushchair that appears to be perfectly suited to our rural lifestyle. Once unpacked, clipping the axle, wheels and basket into place was a doddle, and we were literally ready to roll within minutes. Even with all the fab pushchair testing we’ve done recently, this one created an immediate impressed face. It looks great, of course, but...
Graco Modes 3 Lite Travel System Review #GenerationGraco
I’ve said it a lot recently – Graco is a name has been trusted by many parents for decades, and by me for almost twenty years now. But it’s been a while since I had a baby small enough to push around on wheels, so when Graco sent over the Modes 3 Lite Click Connect Travel System I enlisted the help of the lovely Emma with baby Danny to put it through its paces for me. It’s a neat looking system, and like so...
Graco Milestone Review – the only car seat you need to buy? #GenerationGraco
Being asked to do a Graco Milestone review really took me back a few years. Waaay back when I began this parenting malarky almost 18 years ago (EIGHTEEN YEARS! *cries*) car seats were honestly a baffling thing. Of course, the Big News on the Parenting Street back then was the totes awesome ‘travel system’ idea – utterly groundbreaking, the car seat that could sit in the pram chassis so you didn’t have to...
I had a Mum’s Day Off and it was fabulous. #MomsDayOffContest
When Crocs got in touch a few weeks ago and asked if I was interested in taking a day off for their #MomsDayOffContest campaign, I’ll admit I was a bit surprised – usually brands want to me to do work for them, not bunk off completely. But who was I to argue? So I checked the weather forecast, and on Wednesday I headed out for a solo adventure. And I felt ridiculously free – I simply cannot remember the last...
BLOGGERS! LittleLife are looking for testers – could it be you?
I’ve been a huge personal fan of LittleLife ever since I found them when my now-humungous 17yr old was a crawling baby that I wanted to carry on my back as we walked the hills of North Wales. We invested in the spectacularly brilliant LittleLife (the then-S1 version), and not only did it manage to carry him plus three siblings that followed across the hills and moors of England, Scotland and Wales, but it is now serving child...
