Review: Logitech K310 Washable Keyboard

When I was told about this keyboard, I was very intrigued. In my head, water and electronics should never mix, but a history of sticky keys and crumbs between my letters had me thinking it was a great idea.

I’ve never been one for following the “don’t eat or drink at the computer” rules, and anyone who knows me can testify that I’m the clumsy type. Previously I have pretty much destroyed a few keyboards by making them rather unpleasant to use, with sticky coke and coffee drips, let alone the ketchup (from sausage & egg sandwiches) and other food debris. Georgie has definitely inherited my lack of co-ordination, probably not helped by the fact James is about as bad as me! As she gets older and begins to use computers more, I can see that a washable keyboard is a very good idea indeed.

Review: Bigjigs Toys Melody Doll

Last week a Very Exciting Package arrived… Georgie’s 2nd Play Patrol mission! We received this gorgeous doll called Melody, and Georgie fell in love instantly.

Melody is a soft doll with traditional style clothes and woollen hair. She comes wearing underwear, a long sleeved t-shirt and a very cute denim dress, all of which can be removed. The dress & t-shirt have velcro fastenings at the back, making it easy for little fingers to do up & undo. Georgie loved undressing Melody and I had to keep sneakily putting her clothes back on when Georgie was otherwise engaged, so that the poor doll didn’t have to spend her whole life naked!

Review: The Little Green Sheep Organic Mattress Protector

Georgie has a slightly odd sized children’s bed from Ikea, so none of the standard sized mattress protectors fit her bed, and we have had a bit of a nightmare experience trying to find one we like. Most of them out there are fitted, and so we ended up with a horrible crinkly one that tied on (ineffectively, it turned out), which we paid a tenner for… and felt ripped off when it fell apart in less than 10 minutes of trying to wrestle it onto her mattress. In comparison to that, this mattress protector from The Little Green Sheep has been an absolute dream.

Review: Learn to read with the Alphablocks – Phonics First Steps, Volume 1 (DVD)

Alphablocks is one of Georgie’s favourite CBeebies shows, so when we were offered this DVD to review, we accepted the offer gladly! The Alphablocks are fun & colourful characters who have all sorts of adventures. There is a different character for each letter, and the letters team up to spell out the words, which then magically come to life.
