Review: The LittleLife Doodle Daysack

We love love LOVE LittleLife. Waaaay back before we had No.1 son, we were big hikers – and a constant source of frustration for us after he was born was the lack of a really good child carrier. What we wanted was a proper rucksack – but with a seat for the boy thrown in. Imagine our thrilled delight when Boy came along a couple of years later and we came across a LittleLife backpack through the awesome power of our shiny...

Self Catering in Wales – Us Style… (with @OwnersDirect)

That cottage there? That was where we headed off to a few weeks ago, for a long weekend in the little slice of heaven that is the Brecon Beacons National Park. It’s one of our very favourite places in the world to visit for family holidays – wide open spaces for endless exploring, glorious beaches within reach and always something beautiful to see. The holiday was provided by OwnersDirect, which was about the best offer...

Our Isle Of Wight Trip – Rookley Country Park

While reviewing our holiday on the Isle of Wight from Red Funnel we stayed at Rookley Park. This was about 20 minutes away from East Cowes ferry port, and on the first trip there, I have to admit we did drive straight past the Park.

We saw it as soon as we had made the mistake and it...

The whole trip was amazing, everything about the trip was fantastic and as well as all the great things that we had happening we also had the best weather for the weekend. It wasn’t cold, it didn’t...

Bluestone National Park Holiday Resort, Wales – LittleStuff Review

We were invited to review the Bluestone National Park holiday resort in Pembrokeshire, Wales for a midweek break and right from the top I can tell you that we give it a very positive thumbs up and definitely recommend it for a family holiday. We returned home with happy and relaxed smiles on our face and lots of “Yes, we had a really good time!” replies to those inevitable “How was it?” questions. I must...

The best colouring books for older children. And for BOYS!

My girl loves to draw/colour/paint/stick/sketch/design/embellish. So far so ordinary. But my 9yr old boy loves to draw too. But colouring books for older boys? They don’t exist. I have SEARCHED for ones that don’t contain bunnies and flowers and clowns. Not happening. So imagine my joy when I fell across Rosie Flo’s site. Genius it is – but not jst for boys. The whole Rose Flo range are the same. Why limit a...
