Felt tips that really do wash out. Bic Kids – have you been converted yet?
As any parent knows (or very quickly learns) there are some things you just don’t cut corners on. And felt tips are one of the high things on my Only-Buy-This-Brand list. I’ve been buying them for 12 years now, and only one brand will cross my threshold, as it’s the ONE brand I can guarantee really will wash out of nice tops, pale skirts and dining room chair seats when it says it will (except for green. Why oh why is the green...
Stunning Isabella Oliver Luxe Tie Maternity Sweater
Contrary to popular opinion, I am not currently pregnant (yes, sadly, that baby belly is all me, me, me). But fortunately the lovely Nicole (rather unwillingly, as you can imagine) stepped up for us, and offered us the use of her delicious 34 week bump to drape the Isabella Oliver review over… When I was asked to review the Isabella Oliver Luxe Tie Sweater I immediately went on their website and emailed a picture of it to my...
BEST Fridge Freezer for a Large Family. NO question.
Post-Christmas Holiday, having four children home and extended family to stay and all that Chrsitmas FOOD to store, seriously the biggest challenge any kitchen faces in the year… I just wanted to say that I LOVE the Monster in my kitchen more than ever.

The one where Keris tries the Skoda Roomster
(And no, don’t you dare click away in boredom at a CAR review – this was written by Keris so you just KNOW it’ll be worth a quick squizz through…) After falling so much in love with the Skoda Yeti, we were all very excited about the prospect of the Skoda Roomster. As wonderful as the Yeti is, we thought it was maybe a bit too big for us and that the Roomster would be more fitting. We looked at it online and...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – Tollins 2, Dynamite Tales
The 8yr old LOVES the Tollins – and the new book is just as good as the first! Conn Iggulden is a bit of a hero of our family. I stumbled across his Emperor books in the library and was transfixed. Then came the Big Book for Boys – instant love from No.1 son. Then, as if half the family were not enough for him to have collected, he writes these really quite brilliant books for younger bigger readers. You know, the tricky...
I *heart* The Monster In My Kitchen… (Thank You Samsung)
I. Love. This. Fridge. It’s officially called the Samsung G-Series RFG23DERS American Fridge Freezer. But round these parts, it’s just known as The Monster. It’s huge – and it’s beautiful. When Samsung asked if I’d like one in my kitchen, I laughed a bit. Clearly they weren’t actually serious. Turns out, they were. This thing is HUGE. Seriously. It’s called the Monster for a reason....
