Switch & Go Dinos Turbo from VTech: Review

by

Is it a car? Is it a dinosaur? It’s a Switch & Go Dino Turbo There is something about dinosaurs that interests children. When VTech and dinosaurs get together, it’s sure to create a…roar of delight from children and parents too as it means that children are kept occupied with educational and fun toys. Switch & Go Dinos have been around for some time now but they now come in a Turbo range which makes them faster and it’s all up to you. The Turbo launcher makes sure that your dinosaur is blasted to race up to 20 feet – …

It was a Mum thing at No. 5 Cavendish Square

by

On Thursday, I found myself getting ready for an evening out in London. I was invited by Mumsnet and Notonthehighstreet.com  for an exclusive evening at No. 5 Cavendish Square for a special Mother’s Day Event. I wish my mother was alive as I would have loved to take her to it. She was a shy person but we loved spending time together and she would have enjoyed the evening. The evening promised to be lovely with cocktails and canapés and entertainment and I was really pleased to have been invited. The day had started out as being bright and sunny …

A watch to match each outfit – Swap Watch from Cool Create

by

When you are a blogger, like I am, you will probably notice that your children get a tad bit spoilt. When they see something on television that they would love to have – they say ‘that would be lovely for a review on your blog’. At least mine do!

Stylish lighters from Zippo make perfect gifts

by

Right then, I don’t smoke, so what am I doing reviewing lighters? Well, I do hope that since I started my blog, I try and bring you varied products that I know you would like to keep in mind for gifts and for use at home. And besides, these lighters looked too nice to refuse. I have heard of Zippo (who hasn’t?) as being the ultimate in lighters and when I was sent these two sleek lighters, I was quite happy. The first one is a windproof lighter. It has the Ying and Yang symbol on it and I think …

Of Watches and Things…

by

I love watches and feel they make a functional accessory to any outfit. Of course, I do like watches to kind of ‘go’ with the outfit. I know full well that one really can’t afford to match watches with clothes but it is nice to have at least 2 watches – one for everyday use and one for parties. It would also be grand to have a special watch for school runs that runs 15 minutes early so that I am well in time each morning!! I remember my first watch when I was 15 and yes I could read …

Light Up Your Christmas with Yankee Candles

by

I have a friend who is Yankee Candle mad and I used to wonder what she was so crazy about until I tried one out for myself. I love scented candles -they give the room such a wonderful ambience. I have to admit that I also have favourites and I am very partial to Yankee Candles. They do the most amazing aromas and products. When I recently attended the Ideal Christmas Home Show, I happened upon the Yankee Candle stall and I knew I had to stop by. The stand smelt glorious and I was quite taken with the Illuma-lids. …
