Winner of our Prima Pappa Evo highchair Comp

Congratulations to Karen Langridge of Gwynedd, who has won herself a brand new Prima Pappa Evo highchair from Mamas & Papas.

If you didn't win, keep your eyes peeled as we have new competitions arriving soon - A supply of the truly fabulous Wiona nappies are up next, followed by an incredible Harewood Cotbed in time for Christmas :)

The Onya bag saves the day!

We were out in the woods this weekend, and the boys started to collect leaves for an autumn collage they had big plans to make over half term.
But if there's one thing the Quinny is not suited for, it's collecting large amounts of crunchy foliage. But a rapid rummage in the caboodle produced the go-anywhere Onya bag.
A-Ha!
Three happy boys promptly set about filling it with large amounts of woodland, and i;m happy to say it took them a VERY long time... though even the Onya was defeated by the bracken stems...
Oh, and that's joe pushing - and Ella is in there...

ooh, lots of yummy Tomy bits!

Tomy have asked us to review this seasons Top Gifts, along with a couple of items for the soon-to-be-unleashed new look review section. The Musical Bubble Thomas is already gaining covetous looks from Toby, and the Swap n Roll snail had Ella entranced instantly.

Review, as always, to follow, but we're liking these so far!

BIG Happy Week for Us

We're sooo excited - it's been a really great week for LittleStuff. Firstly we have heard today that Tomy, Lindam and Hippychick ALL want to have their products featured on our monstrously popular review pages.
Their comments have been fantastic: Lizzie from Lindam wrote that LittleStuff is 'great, really personable and witty. A nice change from a lot of others.... and very adorable babies!'

But not only are we excited about the big brands joining the LittleStuff house, and are loving what we do - more importantly to us a couple of mums have taken the trouble to write and tell us what they think:

Nicola wrote and told us "...The reviews are great too. The pair of you have me nearly wetting myself - not a hard task at the moment in fairness, in my very-pregnant state. You make me chuckle while eating my lunch!!"

Polly told us '...the reviews - interesting, hilarious and we can all relate to so much of it. Loved the mentioning of mini-drama involving tab coming off a brand new nappy. Situations that happen but you don't think twice about or imagine anyone else going through.'

Just hearing that people like what we do, and that we're getting it right, is such a great feeling. Of course, we'd also love to hear if there is anything you'd like to see us doing, or are getting wrong - do mail us and let us know at info@littlestuff.co.uk.

Lindam Play pen

Lindam are keen for us to review their play pen, and one arrived on my doorstep just this morning. First impression? It's HEAVY!!!!
She-who-crawls has made the office a suddenly hazardous place to be working in, so a bendy play pen will be a lifesaver, I'm thinking... watch this space for updates!

Welcome Baby Matthew!!!!!

Our pregnant reviewer Tracy is no longer pregnant! Baby Matthew was born on 9th October, weight in at 8lbs and half an ounce.
Congratulations to Tracy, Brian and big brother Nathan - and welcome to the world little Matthew.
We'll give her a few weeks, then she can get to work reviewing the newborn bits for us :)

The Boats

Well, the lovely Richard at Myriad toys helped me out by getting the boats to me before I went away - they were duly secreted (with a marker pen, reason to be revealed in the review) into the depths of the car and kept hidden until just the right stream came up.

I'll save the story for the review but suffice to say the boys LOVED their boats. Cam (8) was busy seeking out the fastest, most dangerous parts of the 'wild rapids' to task his boat with. Joe (6) just wanted his to stay upright for as long as possible and Toby happily pottered in the shallows. Daddy felt obliged to 'help out' with the sailing (boys toys...) and Mummy spent a tough hour or so sitting on the riverbank in the sunshine watching the boys play in the water and Ella pretending she could crawl, if she really wanted.
Heaven.

BebePOD Winners!

Last months bebePOD competition has closed now and the two lucky winners - Bianca and Luci - were kind enough to send us pictures of their prizes in action.

Luci, Mum to cute Hannah, said, "It’s already proving itself to be very useful, as Hannah is at the stage where she hates me being out of view. With the chair I know that she’s not going to roll off somewhere but can still see me."

Ethan's Mum, Bianca sent us this gorgeous photo and said that he "absolutely loves sitting in it"



This month we're giving away a free Mamas & Papas Prima Pappa highchair, so don't forget to enter to be in with a chance to win - competition closes on October 20th.

She CRAWLS!!!!!

Ella, with the aid of the candeloo nightlight (I"m not kidding) has finally decided to make the effort, and get moving.
Many apologies for the ghastly rug she's on - it was in the holiday cottage, and I wasn't about to stop her progress to put her somewhere prettier.
On the upside, you can see just how much she loves her candeloo light...

Holiday :)

Apologies for the gap - I've been away, and Katy's been holding the fort with no time for blogging. So I'll go mad now and do a quick recap, as we have lots going on the House of LittleStuff right now - it's all really exciting :)
But most important - the holiday! It was brilliant - we took the boys (and the girl) to the Brecon Beacons, stayed in a cottage in the hills which was accessed by an unmade track, over a ford, and through the forest. Gorgeous it was and we did not want to come home. Spent many happy days walking the hills, playing in the streams (the boats will be reviewed, they were a HUGE hit), exploring the moors, we visited the beaches on the Gower, went down caves, discovered waterfalls... just ordinary family stuff, spending some much needed time all together after the bedlam that is Summer round here.

I'm pleased to report that many LittleStuff items were pressed into use and made life much easier. The Caboodle bag was a lifesaver every single day, always equipped for every eventuality and the Rockin' Baby Pouch was just a godsend to always have in the car - we didn't even bother taking a pushchair with us. The Bambino Merino sleeping bag was ace and kept Ella muchos cosy and the Candeloo lights were just brilliant for the whole family.
The LittleLife backpack will be featuring soon, it was used on all the long walks and was as perfectly designed as it could be for *real* walking.

ooh ooh ooh! And the girl learned to crawl! FINALLY! Video clip coming soon, promise.
