Pink Heaven - gifts for girls

We were recently sent a pair of dressing-up sequin kitten heel mules (pictured left) for Betty from Pink Heaven - a website dedicated to pretty gifts for girls - mainly in pink.

These shoes (which retail at £11.99 and come in different sizes), are very well-made and are pretty and sparkly. Having said this I do think that perhaps the kitten heel is a little too grown-up for a 4 year old, even if it is just for a dressing-up box.

However, Pink Heaven stock many lovely gifts and products for girls, from bedroom accessories, to dressing-up, to partyware.

If you have girls, or are looking for a gift for a girl, definitely go take a look at their website http://www.pinkheaven.co.uk/

NEW Superfruity Shredded Wheat

I am always on the lookout for new cereals for my kids - I find they get so bored being given the same thing for breakfast every day - if I had my way it would be porridge all the way, but often I don't get my way.


So when these two new Nestle Shredded Wheat cereals came in the post for us to trial, I though great.  And they didn't disappoint - the girls loved them, and for some reason insisted on eating them without milk - which I think is a good endorsement.  I tried them too and they do indeed taste very fruity.  Shredded Wheat is an old favourite and this combined with the fruit and berries inside is really rather lovely.

I will definitely be going out and buying some more boxes - the two boxes sent lasted about three days, again a good endorsement.

There are two Superfruity combinations available: Blackberry, Blackcurrant and Blueberry, and Raspberry, Strawberry and Cranberry.  This new cereal is available from retailers nationwide and retails at around £2.79.

ELC's wooden Country Kitchen

This is a review about ELC's wooden Country Kitchen (pictured left).  I am a little bit obsessed with childrens' play kitchens and have been trying to find the perfect one for my little darlings for quite some time now.

Once assembled (which I have to say did take rather a long time, because it comes in many pieces, BUT the instructions are brilliant and very easy to follow, so all is forgiven!) I placed it in the corner of our sitting room and could not stop staring at it in total awe.  The toys that are available to kids these days are unbelievable.  I would  have LOVED this kitchen when I was little.

It's features include a sink with taps (which is indeed Dolly's favourite feature), a drainer, two hobs, hooks, an oven, a cupboard, a drawer, and shelving for storage and shelving for display. The oven knobs are very realistic to a child because they click when turned. The colour scheme is tasteful, and the overall look and feel of this kitchen is gorgeous.

Dolly now spends all her time standing at this kitchen, either washing up, or with head over shoulder, saying 'Mummy, more tea?' 'Daddy, more toast?'  'Betty, more ice-cream?'  She absolutely loves it.

I have found the perfect kitchen!  And ELC currently have £50 off this product and it is now going for £90, which I think is an absolute bargain!
