Large vinyl 18 inch/46cm soft-bodied dolls are very popular with children. They are easier to dress than smaller 11.5 inch-Barbie style dolls and have more hair which is easier to brush and style. As a parent, I much prefer their more realistic proportions, and the fact that they tend to portray …
I’ve actually had a Portable North Pole (PNP) account since before apps actually existed, and slightly worrying perhaps, before I had children. However much has changed in the last ten years since I first used it to make my husband an amusing video telling him to be good, and now …
I think most adults are fairly hard to buy Christmas presents for. After all, once we’re paying our own bills we all have our own disposable income and if we want something we tend to buy it. In my opinion though, men are the worst people to buy for when Christmas …
This time last week I was invited along to a gingerbread house bake-off with NEFF and Currys PC World. I say invited; my friend Lisa from Pass the Prosecco was invited, and I thought I’d see if I could wangle myself a plus one because we’re re-doing our kitchen next …

If your children are anything like mine (or in fact all the children I’ve met), then getting them to brush their teeth is probably a struggle. Dental hygiene is really important… but let’s face it, it’s boring, they lose interest quickly and the suggested 2 minutes of brushing twice a …
As part of the LeapFrog Play Panel, we were sent two new interactive books for the LeapStart 3D (reviewed here) to test out. As with all of the LeapStart 3D books they are compatible with either the LeapStart or the LeapStart 3D, but you will only have added animations on the newer 3D …
