Gorgeous Autumn Dresses from Jacques-Vert

The other week it was my mum’s birthday and in a rare treat the two of us decided to go shopping for the day over to our local shopping centre in Solihull. What was lovely is that Daddy E had Roo and we were able to do girly browsing and shopping uninterrupted and without worrying where Roo had zipped off to every five minutes, seriously I don’t know how anyone shops with their kids in tow. Mum was looking for a dress for her forthcoming holiday to Croatia that they have just booked and it’s been a while since she [...] Read more »

Good Behaviour Reaps Rewards with KiddyCharts

I’ve blogged about using reward charts in our house before; I make no bones about the fact that I love them. I love their concept and what they stand for. I believe they are a great way for teaching children important life lessons such as being rewarded for doing well at something, and also as a learning tool for getting to grips with those daily tasks many of us parents have trouble with. The problem though with a lot of pre-defined reward charts is well they are, pre-defined. Often the tasks are pre-set such as ‘eating your dinner’, ‘tidying your [...] Read more »

Nano Speed Super Vert Crash Set Review

Recently Roo and I were chosen to review the new Nano Speed Super Vert Crash Set. To say Roo was very excited when the Nano Speed Super Vert Crash Set arrived for review would be an understatement. Roo loves cars and has had cars to play with since she was little and regularly races her pull back and go cars up and down the hall way. Like most kids she always enjoys getting new toys and this looked really exciting with it’s bright colourful box. The Nano cars are small cars which you start up and they then fly around [...] Read more »

Chloe’s Magical Dress Up Closet Review

Roo and I love watching Chloe’s Closet on TV. I love the fact that the stories are based on a real little girl whose imagination for adventure is simply endless and every adventure Chloe goes on is about getting kids into role play (something that Roo adores). Plus, what little girl doesn’t love dressing up? Even now I still remember dressing up in my nanna’s silk scarves, hats and shoes and going off to a magical world and so when we heard about the new release of the Chloe’s Magical Dress Up Closet I was really keen to see if [...] Read more »

Air Puppy Toys Review

Ever since Roo was born she has had a comforter, she adopted quickly a Steiff Giraffe that her godmother bought her and she has two of them named Gi and GiGi respectively (apparently GiGi is softer than Gi). So when I was contacted about a new range of super soft cuddly toys I wanted to see if they were as soft and cuddly as GiGi and could Roo have a new friend to take to bed. So I eagerly awaited the new Air Puppy toys being received as I knew Roo would be delighted with her new giraffe friend. Air Puppy toys [...] Read more »

Save On Your Water Bills With The BathBuoy

What family doesn’t want to save money on their water bills? I know I do, with my quarterly bill averaging around £90 a month I do try to do my bit for keeping the bill as low as I can and have installed a number of water saving devices including a water butt in the garden. So when I was invited to take part in Great British Bath week and trial a new invention, called the BathBuoy, to save money on my household bills I jumped at the chance. The BathBuoy has been designed with two functions in mind. On [...] Read more »
