Quirky – but Amazingly Brilliant – Wildlife Colouring Book from artist Sarah Lovell
A pet hate of mine has always been colouring books. I know, I know, it’s irrational and stupid. It’s not that I don’t like them – quite the opposite. I LOVE a good coluring book – it’s the lack of a *good* one that gets on my nerves so much. When the boys were younger they were never all that fussed about colouring, but now I have a daughter who’s colouring mad, I regularly revisit the Wrath...
Girls Saffron Yellow Duffle Coat. *swoons*
When a parcel arrived from Vertbaudet this week, there was a small squeak of interest from the girl of the house. But when I opened it and this saffron yellow girls duffle coat fell out?

But even better than the sheer prettiness, is the sheer...

Best Pool Toys for Confident Swimmers – Spinning Sticks, a Clam Hunt and a Ball!
When we went to France last year, we took a set of dive sticks with us. We soon learned that 3 sticks between four diving children is nowhere near enough (even though we only had THREE diving children when we arrived – it’s amazing how quickly they learn when they have a private pool to play in all day). So this year, we went prepared with extra pool toys, thanks to the kind people at SimplySwim. The first set we picked...
Zinc Outbreak Scooter review – Best stunt scooter for under £65!
LittleStuff and the Zinc Outbreak Scooter review. We love scooters – we do. The skateboarding thing never really hit my boys. But my boys all like a nice safe handle bar to grab hold of as they steam up the half pipes. (I’m not too sorry about that, actually…) Hurtling round the halfpipes But as scooters have generally caught on in the UK and become absolutely okay to be seen hurtling around the half-pipes on, there...
