Maternity Winter Coat? Look no further…
Finding a reasonably priced winter maternity coat can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Believe me, I know; I’m on my third pregnancy, and haven’t had much luck in finding one which meets my essential criteria of style, value for money AND warmth. In fact, I couldn’t find one suitable for any of my previous pregnancies. One of the considerations is cost – you don’t want to spend a fortune because let’s face it,...
God(dess) Ben shows us the Stokke Tripp Trapp.
A high chair is, in essence, a baby’s throne. A place to issue orders from (More! No! Mmmm! Yuk! etc) and where punishments are dished out… “your punishment, mummy, is to pick up my spoon every 10 seconds”. So, really, it is only right that our little princes and princesses are given a suitable chair from which to reign. The Tripp Trapp chair from Stokke fits the bill perfectly – the simple but classy design...
Phineas and Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension on the Wii. We *LOVE*.
Who doesn’t love Phineas and Ferb, huh? Definitely my favourite cartoon. So I was more than a little bit happy when the Phineas & Ferb 2nd Dimension game landed on my mat for me to review. Well, I say ‘me’. Naturally I’ve not actually been anywhere near it (and not for want of trying). It was immediately STOLEN by the 8 and 10yr old’s – and played. A lot. So, obviously, the review is down to...
Hue Animation Studio? S’good. (Stop Motion Animation Software for Children)
My boys LOVE to create stop-motion clips. They can spend hours setting up scenes and telling stories – No.1 son, while his M.E. was chronic, really delved deep into the stop motion arts, as it’s a fabulous activity for a house-bound 10yr old with limitless enthusiasm and zero energy. He would use his digital camera, and create image after image before loading them into the computer and stringing them together… and...
The New Maileg Baby – Angel Mouse. *squeak*
Oh. Oh oh oh oh OH. Just LOOK who arrived in the post today. It’s no secret that we LOVE the Maileg Mice (warning: that link may cause a lip to wobble). In fact, Christmas would not be Christmas without Father Christmas leaving a new mouse in a matchbox to join the family (currently a large Cuddle Mouse, plus the family of Daddy Mouse, Mummy Mouse, Christmas Mouse, Mimi and Nuffa). The Maileg Mice are just… stunning. Small...
Child’s telescope – and this aint not no toy.
My no.2 son, Boy, who is now 10, has been mad keen on All Things Space for as long as I can remember. He has a rotating solar system hanging off his bedroom ceiling, glow in the dark stars decorating everywhere, reads books and books on Space, LOVES the planetarium at At-Bristol, and last Christmas, all he wanted was one of those laser shows that creates a starlit sky on your bedroom ceiling (bought for a squillion pounds, made him...
