mamas and papas cotbed review...

...is now up online.
This one was no chore - it really is a beautiful cot. Nothing to add to the review here - just thought I'd share a couple of pics of Ella in it :).
You'll note the ever-presence of Noukie Bear, and Ella's still and serene sleeping habits.

Blankie Bear

Happy to report the safe arrival of the Blankie Bear - a new product which gagagoogoo.co.uk have asked us to review. It's a comforter - of sorts; a gorgeous plush teddy bear, which has a clever blankie folded into its soft squidgy little bottom.
First thoughts from Ella were a definite hit - much squooshing and chewing went on, so I'm thinking she likes it!
Review coming after the road test...

Our New Product Tester, Tracy

We're very happy to announce that we have a new member of the LittleStuff team. Tracy is an old cyber-pal of Katy and I, her son Nathan being the same age is Toby and Jacob. Luckily for us, she happens to be very pregnant right now, right when we've been asked to review the Dream Genii pillow.
Twas serendipity - we asked, she agreed, and we look forward to her first review with much anticipation.
Welcome to LittleStuff Tracy!

Wooden Boats!! Huzzah!!!!

Finally! After a couple of years of hit and miss searching, i have tracked down some proper toy boats. I wasn't looking for plastic, gaudy boats. I wasn't looking for boats that sink. I wasn't looking for boats that are part of a big play-kit. All I wanted was proper, old-fashioned solid wooden boats for the boys to play with in the streams while we're on holiday.
And at last, I've found them!

Myriad are a proper old-fashioned ethical toy company, and they have not one, but a range of 'real' toy boats.
And I'm happy to say that the nice people at Myriad are keen on joining LittleStuff too - so look out for their ad to arrive soon in the traditional toys section, and I'm sure in a couple of weeks there'll be a nice toy boat review too :)

EEEPS!!!!

Where did the summer go?
Yeesh - summer holidays, four children, very little sunshine... busy mumma time!
And here we are. September. School time.
It's been a big week for both Katy and I - Toby and Jacob both started school this week. How did that happen???
Katy and I 'met' online when we were pregnant with our Dec 02 babies. Now here we are over five years later and our 'babies' are off to school. Sigh.
