Heads Up! Glorious New Girls Kickers Are In!

It’s no secret we’re HUGE fans of Kickers – not only am I a big fan from back in the 80’s, but this is my girl modelling her first pair SEVEN years ago. We’ve been fans of Kickers as solidly reliable kids shoes ever since – they’re school shoes which are tough enough to withstand the roughest playground, but stylish enough to keep fashion-conscious tweens oh-so-happy. But even I, with my...

When do I get my child’s eyes tested?

Hopefully you don’t need to think about your new babies eyes (except for gazing into them for the hours at a time, obviously) – all babies have a quick eye screen at birth (no, I didn’t know it had happened either), and then the Health Visitor will do another at their 6wk check.

Spotted – Gorgeous Girl’s Horse T-Shirt Under £4 from M&S!

If you’ve got a pony-mad girl, this find I just spotted over in the M&S sale just might make her smile a bit… I just love it! I’m not a huge fan of animals on my clothes, but with a subtle and beautiful print like this you really can’t go wrong. And there’s not many girls I know who wouldn’t love a herd of white horses galloping through the spray. It’s a polyester tee so it’ll feel...

£5 Christmas Stop-Motion Gift Box – Fab Fun & Easy For Kids

Make your own stop-motion Christmas story with the Sainsbury’s Story Studio app & animation kit Sainsburys thought we might like to try this kit out, and being as we’ve been making stop-motion clips for years I thought it was pretty much a no-brainer. Though if I’m honest, I was a bit unsure as to what the £5 could really be worth spending on, being as we tend to do them with a camera and playmobil or LEGO for free....

We *LOVE* The Bespoke Childrenswear from Huxter. A lot.

Any parent will tell you that as soon as their adorable little willing babies become independently-moving toddlers, they develop opinions to match that independence. And it’s an opinion which they cast wildly over everything – peas vs beans, blue cup vs yellow cup, going out vs staying in… Sometimes, finding clothing that fits that opinion (and therefore avoids the need for wrestling it on through the anticipated...
