Spotted! Elizabeth Hunter Mug
Have you read Elizabeth Hunter’s Elemental Series yet? You should. You really really should. Particularly as the first one is FREE on Kindle. I tried it out – and was instantly absorbed into the whole series, barely coming up for air. And I don’t even LIKE Vampire stories. Beautifully written exciting storyline, sizzling love story… fabulous. Anyhoo, inside the covers of this remarkably unknown set of books are...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The (utterly brilliant) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ62
Like a lot of people, I LOVE my photography. I’m not serious about it (in the way my husband the professional photographer is), but I can never quite get enough of taking photographs, and I always want to make them better. I have a really ‘good’ DSLR I was spoiled with a few Christmas’ ago, plus various lenses – but I find I rarely take it out as it’s cumbersome when I just want to play in the woods...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Pabobo Dream Theater Night Light
Finding the right night light is a tricky thing, ins;’t it? You need something soft and soothing – but not too dim so that you can nappy change or soothe a poorly child without additional lighting. And settling a fretful small child is so much easier with some gently moving light to watch for sleepy eyes, I find. The Pabobo Dream Theater is one of the very best I’ve seen – I LOVE this little lamp! Firstly, the...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – Amie Gift Set. Gentle skin care for Teens
I’m loving the Amie range. It’s so gentle it’s perfect for the that pre-pubescent skin that has troublesome little spot outbreaks, but which you really don’t want to submit to the harsh chemicals of the ‘spot treatment’ gubbins. Lots of girls have lovely skin that experiences episodes of extra-oiliness and breakouts during their teens and twenties. In their quest for effortlessly blemish-free skin,...
Review – Braun ThermoScan 5 IRT4520
When you have a small child, it’s pretty easy to tell when they have a temperature, isn’t it? Well, actually… yes and no. It’s easy to tell when they’re running a HIGH temperature (but just how high is it? And is it still climbing?), but what about the days when they’re just cranky and clingy and you don’t know whyyyyy? Well – problem now solved, thanks to those clever people at Braun....
Review – Tower of London Ice Rink
(reviewed by Sandra from SaSaSlings and her rather willing family) We love the Tower of London. We have visited it many times as a family, so when we heard about the temporary open air ice rink that has opened in the moat surrounding the tower, we jumped at the chance to try it out as a family. George (10), Peg (8) and Edith (5) travelled up to the city with Mum and met Dad at the Tower after work. George had been ice skating fairly...
