Baby Tips from a Second Time Mom

A while back, when my second daughter was born, my lovely friend Nora has sent me baby gift including Lucas’ Papaw Ointment – thank You!!! We used it all the time and we loved it so much that when it was finished I searched the whole London… just to finally find it in Australia Shop […]

“Simple Crochet” by Sara Sinaguglia – Book Review

Since I was a child I loved crochet and I tried to learn it from my granny Nina but I have never had in my possession any crochet book for this simple reason that I could not find one that I liked enough to justify spending £10 or £15. “Simple Crochet” by Sara Sinaguglia is […]

Scooby-Doo! Big Top – Children’s Movie Review

Scooby Doo! Big Top – children’s movie review.

Jumbo Connect 4 from Big Game Hunters – Review

It may look like regular Connect 4 at first but it is not… this is Jumbo Connect 4 that is much bigger than the standard version (75 cm tall), hence it is best suitable for garden but not only.  The whole construction is very sturdy and because of the size and material (solid wood, except for […]

Tom and Jerry Tricks & Treats – Children’s Cartoon Review

Great Halloween fun for the whole family…

Mamounia Lounge at Knightsbridge – Restaurant Review

It was a strange Saturday afternoon, sun shone, rain drizzled and it was chilly… Heading from Knightsbridge station I passed Harrods, most famous department store, destination of many tourist, which by the way I still haven’t visited yet (living more than 8 years in London). The Mamounia Lounge is just a little bit further, on opposite site of Brampton Road. The venue […]

Nude Food Movers – Rubbish-Free Lunch Boxes from Smash

How many times did you wish that you would not have to use all those cling films, aluminium foils and plastic bags? It is a lot of unnecessary rubbish every single day and to be honest using cling film can be very tricky, especially in the early morning hours! With Rubbish-Free Lunch Boxes from Smash there is no […]

“Madagascar 3 Europe’s Most Wanted” – The Video Game Review

“Madagascar 3 – Europe’s Most Wanted” video game by D3Publisher is based on DreamWorks’ animation at the same title and available for Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. We know games based on movies are not always done well, and I was hoping that “Madagascar” would be an exception. In the game players can […]

Review of Tamara Small and The Monsters’ Ball children’s book by Giles Paley-Phillips.

“Scooby-Doo! Spooky Games” – Movie Review

I meant to write about “Scooby-Doo! Spooky Games” DVD for ages now but with the all this “back to school” fever we completely couldn’t find a peaceful moment… until this weekend. It was nice finally to seat down, relax and watch family movie together, especially that kids are still excited about Olympics and Paralympics, they […]

Momma’s Toddler Cup & Warm Plate – Review

My younger daughter is very naughty and always trying to find a way to spill the water and all kind of drinks. Most of the time she succeeds, even from supposedly non-spill bottles, they just can’t resist Ella’s shaking and heating. Momma’s Cup with Straw & Dual Handle went through tests in her little hands as well an so far (almost […]

Earth Friendly Baby Cosmetics from Lansinoh – Review

Having quite a lot of experience with all kind of baby products I noticed that eco ones usually don’t smell as good as their less ecological competitors and for that reason I was quite surprised to find out how divine Earth Friendly Baby cosmetics from Lansinoh are. Shampoo & body wash, bubble bath and body lotion they are all available […]

Visiting New Mothercare Store in Edmonton, London

I must admit I don’t usually shop at Mothercare and the reason is that the store near me is very tiny and it is hard to get inside with the pushchair or even impossible to go on the first floor by the stairs. This is not the case in huge Edmonton branch that is spacious and equipped with […]

Xara Designer Pro 7 from Magix – Software Review

Xara Designer Pro 7 from Magix (formerly known as Xara Xtreme) is very universal program for picture editing, illustrations, 3D graphics, materials for print, creating websites and photo galleries, all that for only £249.00 including VAT. I was quite sceptical on the beginning as I don’t really have time to learn completely new programs when […]

Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes – Game Review

I have to admit, I never really got the Lego franchise. I mean who wants to play a dumbed down version of any game never mind one where the characters can’t speak? Fortunately there is speech in Lego Batman 2 (yay) but it’s not about the speech or not, it’s about how playable the game […]
