We love dolls in this house. For Boo it has taken a while to get into them but my own love of anything fashion doll on my childhood has made me persevere with her. Someone gave her an old doll and, since then, she has been hooked. We have never tried Bratz dolls before so,…
We have seen the advert on television for Lalaloopsy but never tried her out ourselves. This spring however, you can switch up the style of your favourite Mini Lalaloopsys™ with the brand new Style ‘N’ Swap range. Collect the whole range to Style ‘N’ Swap across your favourite characters and create new and exciting looks…
Recently, Boo has been one of the first children in the UK to try Num Noms which are are scented food related collectibles which appear in the form of mini lip glosses and motorised characters. Num Noms are already out and very popular in the USA and they launch in the UK this week. It…
When I was preparing for the birth of Baby G, it did occur to me that the number of independent outlets selling nursery and baby outlets has diminished extensively. Big names like Mothercare and Mamas and Papas seemed to be the only option when preparing for your new arrival. That was until, on a rainy…
Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom is very popular in our house. We have a lot of their toys-Boo got the Castle for Christmas last year and it has seen hours of playing since then. There is one item thought that we have not been able to find-Holly’s Magic Wand. However, I was recently accepted to…
Since having children, it seems I had some kind of radar for farm toys. If I see a little tractor, I usually have to get it. This is for both children-not just Baby G after all, girls drive tractors too. Have you ever been into a shop and looked for a tractor? I did not…
Now I don’t ever pretend to be a tractor expert. In fact, if Hubster starts talking machinery, I have an uncanny ability to totally zone out-whilst still looking like I’m listening. I know. It’s a gift which I cherish. However, I do know enough to be aware of some kind of farmer etiquette when it…
When you’re pregnant with your first child and just after you’ve had it, you enter a period of utopia where you imagine everything to be perfect. Clean, fluffy blankets. Everything is new. You imagine a set of ideals in your head, a goalpost of sorts which you measure everything against. Some time later, these goal…
Since Boo was a tiny baby, I quickly understood the importance of fresh air. The days I took her out in her pram, she slept better at night. Fast forward to the toddler years and it still stands. Thankfully we live on a farm now (we didn’t when she was born) so there is fresh…
So last night the elves (my husband and I) did the thing I had been dreading. We put my daughter’s ELC cottage kitchen together (http://www.elc.co.uk/Wooden-Cottage-Kitchen—Red/136819,default,pd.html#q=cottage%20kitchen). I had been worrying about it for a while. I could see us up until 4am Christmas Day morning doing it and, with a day of play and cooking to…
