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...

Free checks on ANY child car seat during Child Safety Week – and 5% off ANY car seat | Halfords discount code

Free car seat checks on ANY car – and 5% Halfords discount code if you need a new child’s car seat. When my hulking great 16yr old was a weeny boy, car seats were a completely different animal. By the time he started school at age 4, he and his friends were all just sitting on a booster cushion, which was usually the toddler car seat with the back removed. Don’t you suck your teeth in horror – we were doing the...

(Come on – how often have you picked up your tablet and found a stream of selfies or close ups of the dog on there?) Recently, we started actively doing some...

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...

Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Neverbeast Review

If you have a small person in the house, it’s likely that you’re already familiar with the Tinkerbell series of films, the group of Fairy friends from Pixie Hollow. The Legend of the Neverbeast is the latest, and was released on DVD today – which naturally meant a Tinkerbell Family Film Night as we sat down to enjoy it (though I admit the teen boys made their apologies and escaped elsewhere before the starting...

Spotted! Beautiful Girls Summer Dress with 20% off!

Oh SUCh a pretty dress! I love this – perfect for summer parties and weddings, the gentle floral pattern is delicately pretty without being too overtly shouty-girlie that my daughter would turn her nose up. The delicate lilacs and blues of the flowers, coupled with with the soft cream background and gentle yellow of the butterflies… just a totally dreamy combination. I find you really can’t go wrong with butterflies,...
