    These ladies are not only fabulously switched on commercially but also get what Mums really want in kids clothes. The style of clothes make sense. The tummy bands keep tummys warm when singlets escape and your active bubs do more star jumps and sit ups than Arnie Schwartzenagger…. Like mine. They work economically too, I got two pairs of jeans for my little boy who wore them daily (one in one out) and they looked as good as new for our little girl 18 months later. The turn ups keep the growth spurts covered too. If I could have got a pound for every time I received a compliment about them they would have paid for themselves. Thank you Oishi-m xx

      I agree Jennifer. I always get asked what my kids are wearing when they’ve got their oishi-m gear on.

How cool is my son’s latest @lego project - Dom’s Charger from Fast and Furious 🖤👦🏻⁣
⁣
Based on the iconic 1970s Dodge Charger R/T, it’s packed with authentic details. The opening hood reveals a model version of the iconic V8 engine. Other cool features include moving pistons, wishbone suspension, steering system and air blower. There are even nitro bottles in the trunk to bring Dom's daring high-speed chases to life. Just like the real thing!⁣
⁣
Now we just need @lego to create Brian’s Supra 🧡😉⁣

“1959: Grace is a young mother with four children under four. All she ever wanted was to have a family of her own, but there are thoughts Grace cannot share with anyone in the months after childbirth. Instead she pours her deepest fears into the pages of a notebook, hiding them where she knows husband Patrick will never look. When Grace falls pregnant again, she turns to her sister, Maryanne, for help.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1996: When Beth's father, Patrick, is diagnosed with dementia, she and her siblings make the heart-wrenching decision to put him into care. As Beth is clearing the family home, she discovers a series of notes. Patrick's children grew up believing their mother died in a car accident, but these notes suggest something much darker may be true.”⁣⁣⁣
