Close your eyes, visualise a sunny beach with warm sand and waves of fresh water washing your feet …. Summer is close and we all really need a break of some sort. I have been gifted some lovely Summer travel essentials that my family and I will use during the school holidays. And ahead of our Italian trips I have tried them and here are my thoughts.

The Summer is approaching and this often means going away with portable devices. 11-year old Diego was gifted a RCA by Venturer Saturn 10 Pro – £129.99 to review ahead of his Summer travelling and he has created a videothat shows how clear and simple it is for kids to set up the tablet/computer. The RCA by Venturer is available to buy from Asda.com.
Here’s Diego’s…
What are the must-have toys for 2018? It’s always hard to predict what kids will love in the future, but this overview of the latest trends I observed at the latest Toy Fair London can give parents a hint of what may turn into the next craze this Spring and Summer.

Mythical creatures are here to stay and this year they are bigger than ever including unicorns in all…
My annual involvement with Product of the Year is a source of inspiration for me as a London Mum and as a journalist. The latest trends in household products as well as new stars in the world of music are launched there in January and set the mood for the new year. The Product of the Year 2018 Awards night at Sheraton Grand Hotel Park Lane on 25th January was a testimony of that. Once again…
There’s no way out and women have never enjoyed their monthly periods. Or at least until now. A new service has been launched to provide women (young and mature) with gift boxes ahead of every cycle from It’s A Monthly Thing Ltd., the home of betty box and Pink Parcel.
Having the periods is inevitable but we can now change our approach to them. The only…
Finally I have managed to get hold of a LEGO® Star Wars Advent Calendar, the most popular calendar ever made. This year it is even more special than ever. In fact the 2017 series is a sustainable advent calendar, which aims to save around a million plastic trays from landfills this year. The Star Wars Advent Calendar will be one to keep because the trays can be recycled along with the…
I have now spent six months with my new housemate Amazon Alexa and I can now say that she has brought some fun, daily laughter opportunities as well as relieved some stress. She is now part of our family. If you had asked me 6 months ago if I would interact with AI (artificial intelligence) one day, I would have said NO without a doubt, but I had to give in and I can confess now that AI can…
It’s November and it is now time to think…
From September, my son will start secondary school. This will mean arriving in time for all his new classes, keeping a schedule of his homework and getting on the bus on his own at some point without being allowed a mobile phone (because of the school ban). A new smart watch for kids is on the market to sort all these problems in one little gadget, the new Assure SOS tracker from Watchovers which…
I have recently read a worrying survey published in the Post Office Money annual Parents’ Summer Spending report which shows that parents will spend £468 entertaining their children this Summer. Fun holidays don’t need to be so expensive! Recently I went camping at Cornbury Music Festival and I realised how cheap kids’ entertainment at family camping can be. Over half of parents (52…
