Spotted! PERFECT Traditional Bucket & Spade set…
One think I positively loathe is the way every child’s toy has been turned into a plastic monstrosity. So when I find a little gem of old-fashioned style and build quality, I whoop with glee. Just look at this bucket and spade set! Gloriously bold and bright, with sheet metal construction that will last for years and wooden handles that are just waiting for small hands to love them (no more awkward rubbish plastic bucket handles...
Spotted! Fabulous Den Kit from the BattleBox Co.
I’m in love. I am. And if my children find out, my bank manager is going to hate me. Have you SEEN the Battle Box Company’s site?

Review: The Petite Star Bubble. Yes – THAT Njoy stroller.

The Petite Star Njoy Bubble is creating a bit of a storm in certain stroller circles… and we were dead excited to be one of the first in the UK to be asked to review the award winning stroller.

Brilliant! First up were the 5yr old’s pair of Rocket glasses. I love Rocket – French manufacturer...
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...
Review: The LittleLife Doodle Daysack
We love love LOVE LittleLife. Waaaay back before we had No.1 son, we were big hikers – and a constant source of frustration for us after he was born was the lack of a really good child carrier. What we wanted was a proper rucksack – but with a seat for the boy thrown in. Imagine our thrilled delight when Boy came along a couple of years later and we came across a LittleLife backpack through the awesome power of our shiny...
