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...
Spotted! LEGO wall sticker decal – LOVE it!
This is SO fabulous – a huge LEGO wall sticker vinyl decal, that makes it look like the room walls are actually LEGO behind the paint. Isn’t it genius? Spotted over on Etsy, the LEGO wall decal is available for just under £18 with free shipping; you can see it in the Etsy shop of Nursery Room Wall Art – who happen to have a fantastic range of really different wall art. I adore these sea horses...
Spotted! Sweetest little navy cord pinafore with birdies.
Love love love this sweet little navy cord pinafore dress with applique and embroidered vintage birds. So unbelievably cute – and would look even more adorable rushing around on a small person. Pretty enough for a party, it’s practical enough for every day – and totally goes through all the seasons too. Just add layers in the colder weather! Available in sizes 1-7yrs, the navy bird cord dress is available from the...
The LeapPad 3 Review
We received the LeapPad 3 tablet just before going on holiday, which was perfect timing since I’d been looking for something to distract 5-year-old Joe during the flight (leaving me to drink wine and read a book in peace). It took me a little while to set up on the LeapPad on the website (although this wouldn’t be a problem if you already have an account) but once it was done, it was easy to download apps – you can do it...
The new Glow Pets | Christmas Gift Guide
Last Christmas, Jolly found a total bargain, and snapped up a Pillow Pet for his little sister in a sale. She’d seen them on TV and coo-ed over them, and he just knew she’d love it. And she did. But none of us relaised quite how much she would love it. I’ve not been able to get her to sleep on a pillow for a year now…. The only thing she sleeps on is her unicorn Pillow Pet. So when she saw the new version, the...
FIMO kids form & play
I cannot wait to sit down and try these kits with the children next week! Even though mine are no longer toddlers, they still can’t resist the lure of playdough or plasticine – but do get a little tired of spending an hour or two creating something amazing… only for it to be squashed back ionto the tubs at the end of the session. So these Fimo kits are a godsend. Form&play is a combination of modelling and...
