If you know little girls of a certain age then I’m sure you will also know about Palace Pets, one of the more recent additions to the Disney family of toys. Along with Disney’s ‘Frozen’ ,the Palace Pets are massively firm favourites in our house and I’m sure when they bring out pets for Elsa and Anna then it will be an absolute stampede in the shops for them! The Palace Pets all belong to the Disney Princesses and come in […]
A couple of weeks ago I was invited along to the Toy Fair 2015 which is where all the latest in the world of play is on display to showcase what’s new for the year! I saw so many exciting things, lots of them with an embargo date but quite a few I can talk about now too! I love the kitchen range from Plum Products; last year the big thing was a space on the oven for your tablet […]
I’ve written about Warburtons bread lots of times in the past, we’re very fond of the sandwich thins in particular and the half and half wraps are brilliant for lunch boxes rolled up with cream cheese and ham. They’re both very quick to prepare as well as being tasty which, if you’re always late like I am and forget about lunches until the last minute, then both of these products are really helpful! Warburtons and The British Heart Foundation have teamed […]
This week I was invited to the second phase of the Spring/Summer collection from Morrisons clothing range for children, Nutmeg. It was a fairly late in the day event and ordinarily I wouldn’t have been able to go because it struck directly over school pick up but I knew Florence had been itching to try out After School Club thinking it sounded fun, so I bit the bullet and booked her a place. The service sounds great if you have to […]
A while back on Twitter I was accused of writing a ‘dime a dozen’ review blog. The comment came from some chump who didn’t like my opinion on something or other and he was basically saying that I was happy to write glowingly positive reviews in return for something free even if I didn’t like the product. This chap very clearly hadn’t actually read my blog because if he had of done then he’d know that although I offer glowing […]
When I think of freezer food I suppose immediately what comes to mind are fish fingers, chicken nuggets, chips and things like potato waffles. These are all things my husband categorises as ‘beige food’ and although there’s definitely a time and place for a fish finger sarnie or some oven chips, I think on the whole I try to steer away from those types of suppers. Quick it may be to get something out of the freezer but convenience often means […]
A while back when at the preview for the Mothercare Spring/Summer 2015 preview I got talking to Stelle Audio who have a new product for sale with MC. They gave me one of their Go-Go Speakers to try for size and now I am able to report back on it. We’ve always taken mini speakers away with us, even way back when I was a teenager. I remember having a small set that cost just £4.99 from Boots in the […]
We’re big fans of the company Worlds Apart. They make gorgeous things for children’s bedrooms and to play in and we especially love their lighting range as well as their day beds which are ace for going away, having friends over or even for just a ‘camp in’ at home. Just before Christmas we were sent a couple of their Play Tents to review and the children have been going wild for them! They love a tent (who doesn’t) but […]
I heard about something really cool and just wanted to quickly share it with you because it’s for such a good cause and it’s completely FREE as well as being lovely. A wonderful e-book app for children with a great message and cause behind it definitely needs to be given a moment! When Sara Jackson’s eldest was entering his terrible 2’s, his baby brother had just been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. Desperate for stories to help the family […]
When we first lived together Jonny and I rented a furnished apartment in Old Ford Lock. It was directly opposite the Olympic Stadium although back then they had only just started to build it and sitting on the balcony probably wasn’t as restful as I assume it is these days. The wow factor came more from the fact we had celebrities in the building than what you could see on the other side of the river; diggers and cranes were not […]
