Christmas Gift Guide 2015: Books
2015 has been a vintage year for children’s books – I could literally have listed 100 here, but I’ve limited myself to 20. From big books on history to little books about friends, via repackaged classics, poems, alphabets, numbers and beautiful illustrations, there really is something for everyone. I’m investing in the epic Timeline […]
The Story Corner: Stanley’s Plan
Ruth Green is one of BG’s favourite illustrators and her first book, Noisy Neighbours, is a bedtime staple here. Her second story Stanley’s Plan (Tate Kids, RRP 9.99) is equally joyous. It tells the tale of a permanently hungry dog (the eponymous Stanley) and his quest to devour a pie, with the help of his […]
Inspiration: Alfie’s Famous Five circus party
Alfie’s current obsession is Enid Blyton’s Famous Five. And when I say obsessed, I mean really obsessed. We have read every book in the series, all the annuals we could find on eBay, visited Corfe Castle (Blyton’s original inspiration for Kirrin) and endlessly played out various mysteries and everyday scenarios (I’m George, he’s Julian, Kitty […]
Cool Printable: Make a teepee for Playmobil figures
I love these cute paper teepees which I spotted over on the Pom Imagine Your World blog. The geometric and quirky prints and the lovely retro shades make these anything but twee and they’re a great height for Playmobil figures although kids will no doubt enjoy using all sorts of small world figures with […]
Christmas Gift Guide: Nia, five and three quarters going on forty
If Nia, five and three quarters going on forty, had her way, she’d be in dressing up gear morning, noon and night. Loving everything from role play costumes to animals, to dressing up as royalty, whether that’s in traditional African clothing or full-on princess gear, she’d probably do all of this while eating sushi, sipping […]
Winter warmers: super snow and pram suits
At the risk of sounding like I’m from The House of Stark, winter is coming! The heating went on this week and although it’s been mild so far, there’s nothing like a little prior preparation for when the cold really does kick in! We’ve already showcased a fabulous range of hats, gloves and mittens, wellies and […]
Little Mooshoo
We love spotting a new shop and Little Mooshoo has been a great find.

Young Soles shoes
If I had spotted the Young Soles shoe collection last week I would have definitely included in our back to school shoe round up! These are sure to be a hit with both parents and kids. Young Soles have blended retro-cool with classic British heritage styles. The shoes are designed in East London, made in Europe and use the highest quality […]
The BG Guide to… Festival Camping
[slideshow_deploy id=’70590′] It’s July, so all thoughts in our household have turned to Camp Bestival. Wellies are being unearthed, circus costumes coming together and ‘essential’ bits and pieces keep jumping into my basket at Tiger Stores. Anyway, for anyone else heading off to a festival with kids this summer I thought I’d put together a survival […]

[slideshow_deploy id=’70031′] Madona [sic] […]
10 Best: Denim
Children’s fashion is having a bit of a retro moment this season with 70s-inspired denim pieces popping up all over the place. And it’s not just for jeans – with this little lot your little one could easily work a quadruple denim look should they want. [slideshow_deploy id=’68122′] Nora sundress, £85, Stella McCartney Kids. New […]
Smafolk
Smafolk is one of my go-to kidswear brands, especially the printed tees with contrast trim – a firm favourite with me (and Lola). I’ve just been checking out what is hitting the virtual stores this season. There’s a plethora of prints, of course, some whimsical, others with a retro vibe, there are coloured jeans and cords […]
The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2013: 5-7
Ages five to seven are an interesting time as kids often start asking for random stuff that they’ve heard about through their mates at school and you start saying stuff like, ‘But you don’t want to be having the same stuff as everyone else!’ We’ve got educational buys where they can learn about the human […]

Christmas 12 Best: Stockings
[slideshow_deploy id=’64927′] Who doesn’t get a little excited about hanging up a stocking on Christmas Eve? I know I still do and I love the ‘He’s been! He’s been!’ joy in the morning when the filled stocking is spotted at the end of the bed. In fact, I think I love buying stocking fillers more […]

Autumn/winter collection from Me & I
Swedish clothing brand me&I have actually been going for nearly a decade, but available in the UK for less time – we first spotted their functional, sometimes playful, clothing interspersed with brights, prints, and quirky detailing, last year. Made in Europe from high quality cotton (some organic) and velour, they also produce womenswear, although that […]
Cool app: Printic
I’m a long-term devotee of all things Polaroid – our wedding guest book featured instant snaps of all our guests – so, naturally, I’m an obsessive Instagrammer. But the problem of what to do if you want prints always lingers in the background. Not now that I’ve found Printic, a nifty little app that converts your […]
