Did you see YUU Bag on Dragon’s Den? We TOLD you we loved them!
The year before last we were sent a couple of these new backpacks to try out. My boys swiped them, loved them… and I forgot to write about them (I know, despicable). But last year, as I was packing them for yet another holiday, I got around to telling everyone just how flipping genius the YUU bag is). We ran a competition for the new, smaller YUUtuu this year, and had a most brilliant response, with literally hundreds of entries...

Is it me, or is there something wrong with this picture?
This is a bikini. For young girls aged TWO to EIGHT. *sigh* I know this subject of age-inappropriate clothing has been done to death… but really? I’d probably have a pink fit if my 14 yr old daughter wanted to wear this to the beach. But put my 6 yr old in it? No, I don’t think so. This is NOT a young girls style, is it? Why on earth would a reputable and stylish childrenswear company think that this was something...
Birthdays in the Biomes
Really loving this idea from the Eden Project – birthday parties in the Biomes! They look fab for all ages, too – for 3-5yrs there’s sessions based around music and dance or storytelling and veg planting. 5-8yr olds get a day full of magic and mystery awaits with either a pirates or a fairies theme. The children will be able to go on an adventure through the Biomes, collecting treasure along the way. The older 8-12yr...
