Patent School Shoes. Would you? (yes!)

School Shoes. Bane of my life, they are. And it’s not just the perpetual growing out of them – what do they DO in them to make them such a state? *shudder* When Start-rite asked if we’d like to review a pair, I snapped their hand off. Obviously. And once we’d finally made it through the trial of the Red Shoes, we actually got to take a look at the practical school shoes selection. And she was off again…...

Madagascar 3 Xbox 360 Game Review

Alex the Lion, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo and Marty the Zebra… oh, how we love them all in this house! So I was a le-e-etle bit happy when we were sent a copy of the game to go with the latest film release to try out.

Review – Mac & Ninny Bookplates from The Wise House

Bookplates. I love them. I always have done. As a  child, opening up a book and seeing the official ‘This is MINE!’ sticker was always brilliant (maybe because I was the last of four, and very little actually was ‘mine’, most things were my sisters first…). So when The Wise House sent these Mac & ninny bookplates to review, I couldn’t resist them. They’re GORGEOUS! And much nicer than I...

Review – fab sunglasses for children

Sunglasses for children. Do you? I didn’t… but then thought – “why do I need them, and yet presume that my children with their still-developing eyes do not?” So heading off to France this year we were kindly provided with a couple of pairs of children’s sunglasses by the Sunglasses Shop. Brilliant! First up were the 5yr old’s pair of Rocket glasses. I love Rocket – French manufacturer...
