We had our garden office, affectionately known as the shed, built in December last year. Since then it has come in really handy. I’d go as far as saying we wouldn’t have been able to cope without it. That sounds pretty dramatic, but my husband’s work closed their London office and the only reason he has been able to stay on […]

The dolls’ pram is a staple toy for any little girl or boy. Both of my children used their dolls’ buggies (yes, multiple buggies; one at home, one at Nanny’s and one at Grandma’s!) whilst learning to walk, and then as they got older to act out role play and take their many toys to the shops. But, as all

I have gone a bit quiet on the subject of my extension, I realise. To be honest the process hasn’t been as painful as I first envisaged and all the funny stories of woe that I was expecting just haven’t materialised! This probably isn’t a bad thing I realise. So we’re nearly there; the upstairs bedroom and the porch have

If like us, your car seats need a blooming good clean, then hopefully this little step-by-step tutorial will help show you how to remove the covers from an Axkid Minikid carseat! We were recently given the opportunity to test the Axkid Wolmax seats (review here) and so thought we’d give the Axkid Minikid seat (tested here and used ever since!)

This week we’ve been reviewing the Mickey and the Roadster Racers Hot Doggin’ Hot Rod remote control car from IMC Toys. As big Mickey and Minnie fans, we’d previously reviewed some Mickey and the Roadster Racers toys here; these were (and still are) really popular with the kids so I very much looked forward to this one arriving. When it arrived,

Little Street Maidstone is what pre-schooler dreams are made of! Entertaining pre-school children in the school holidays is, as I have said before, a bit of a challenge. This is particularly true when the weather is rubbish, and it really has been. Good lord. I remember when summer was – you know, summery. Not being a huge fan of getting

This week we’ve been playing with the Schleich Horse Club Pintabian mare and stallion. Schleich is a brand that you may well be familiar with from your own childhood. I have memories of going into toy shops and seeing tall stands with rows of hard animal figures and to me as a child they were fascinating. Schleich have in fact been

It will come as no surprise that I am partial to a nice chilled glass of wine of a weekend. When it comes to buying wine, I generally pick up whatever is on offer when I do my big online shop (or about ten bottles when I’m in the actual supermarket, because I deserve them for getting through it), then

I first became aware of Lottie dolls when we wrote this post. I liked her because she’s not a princess, but a normal little girl without jewellery, makeup or ridiculous proportions, but who you can still dress up and play with like any other doll. As a mother keen for my child not to grow up too soon, it appeals to
