I love The Gruffalo. I’ve spent many a happy afternoon as a nursery assistant reading it and acting it out and I don’t know of a parent who can’t just about recite it word for word.
In the spirit of ‘Back to School’ (just a week left here in Scotland!), and because I have a slight obsession with stationery I’ve joined up with WH Smith to bring you a Gruffalo Stationery Kit that includes the following;

X2 Gruffalo Wooden Stationery Sets (each set includes x2 rubber topped pencils, rubber, ruler and …

The Vauxhall Meriva is a cool family car that is practical and very stylish. Now I know nothing about cars, niente, BUT I know practical when I see it. Check out the video below for how the doors open.

How cool is that? The doors open towards the back of the car giving you a lot more space to load kids, dogs and of course shopping *cough*. Seriously, why has no one thought of this before, or why haven’t I seen it?!
If you’d like to …

North of the border our summer holidays are well under way. We broke up on the 30th June and are well into our second week. So far;
Erin’s enjoyed her first Starbucks. We’re Starbucks fans at chez Douglas. Mummy’s favourite is either coffee frappucino or hazelnut cappucino (depends on the weather), Daddy has latte with an extra shot and Erin’s tipple of choice is hot chocolate.

We’ve been painting pottery at a cute little pottery barn in the village, you’re impressed aren’t you This is …

Choosing a babies name is not as easy as you would think. I can remember when I was younger, dreaming of one day having children and names were so easy. Yet when I was expecting my first baby, we found it really difficult to find a name we both liked.
Bounty have some wonderful pages to help with ideas for boys names and girls names along with name meanings. So if you want to avoid a ‘Harper Seven’ (!) scenario then definitely have a look.
We only decided …

I haven’t seen many twin buggies being reviewed in the mummy blogosphere so when my lovely friend fell pregnant with twins (two boys!) I thought it was the perfect opportunity for us to see what’s out there.
There is only a limited range of twin buggies on the market and prices range from a couple of hundred pounds right up to an eye-watering ?1400. I can hardly believe that price as I type it! We’re road testing the Mamas & Papas Twin Voyager which is at the …

Has your child or Other Half has ground you down with their persistent pleading for a living, breathing ‘something’ to share their world with? You haven’t been able to fob them off with a tamagotchi or Zhu Zhu pet, so in the end you?ve relented and uttered that un-retractable word-’yes’.
If you have no real idea what kind of pet would fit best in your family, maybe you are half-inclined to let the others decide what to get. After all, they’ve promised they will do ALL the …

This week on the Leapfrog Reading Challenge we were asked to review the Cars Tractor Tipping book. I must admit my daughter was not as interested in this book as it was Cars and not very girly (!) but my two and a half year old son really enjoyed joining in with us which is great.
We love reading in our house and we normally only read at bedtime or my daughter’s school books straight from school, but since we have started this challenge I have found that we have …

Across the net on my blog Bakes, Books and My Boys I have started a monthly 10 things to do. So I thought I?d share with you our current family one.
Easter holidays are on their way and if like us you aren?t feeling to flush in the pocket it?s nice to still be able to do things together as family. I?ve made a list here of the top ten things we do as a family mainly to share with you and I?m feeling to lazy today to come up with …

Firstly I’d like to thank Erica for offering this review to me and also to Laura for sending this fantastic product to us to review.
My daughter has recently started school and has been bringing home her first reading books. I have been looking at ways of helping her and this is a great system to complement her school books.
It took a little while to set up the Tag pen as you have to download the audio on to the pen but once I had managed this we where off!

The first …
