Review: LeapFrog LeapTV

December 16 2014 By melbournemamma 3 Comments

Have you seen or heard about LeapTV – a new educational, active video gaming system from LeapFrog, built just for kids aged 3-8 years?

 

My kids have seen it advertised on TV and were putting it on the Christmas list, but luckily for them (& Santa), it arrived a little early.

Review: Mini Beanz Comic Landing Pad

December 11 2014 By melbournemamma 34 Comments

What is it about boys (little & big) that makes them so obsessed with superheros?

 

My 4 yr old has been obsessed with Superman for the past two years and by obsessed I mean, he even had us calling him Clark (as in Kent) when he was dressed in his “people clothes” and not his Superman costume LOL.

 

Apparently he is going to BE Superman when he grows, so he can save people and fly around the world.

 

You can imagine his excitement (high pitched squealing excitement in fact) when a Mini Beanz Comic Landing Pad arrived at our door to review.  …

Review: Mocka Box Cart

October 14 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

The lovely folks at Mocka Australia recently sent me a Box Cart for the kids (and their daddy) to play with.

 

I remember my brother had a billy cart when we were kids and we loved it. (Hopefully my kids will not be reading this) I can remember us flying down the bridge at the end of our street at a million miles an hour with NO helmets!!! We had so much fun, so I was hoping my kids would love their new box cart too – wearing their helmets, of course!  …

Getting to know Helle from Lucas Loves Cars

September 30 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

Today we’re getting to know Helle from Lucas Love Cars.

 

Headshot

 

1. Tell us a little about yourself?

I think I am a pretty typical Mum. Our family is loud sometimes and probably on technology too much. Before I started Lucas loves cars I worked for a great company, behind a computer all day. I love to be a bit creative when I have time, knitting, baking or occasionally quilting.

 

2. Describe Lucas Loves Cars in one sentence?

We are an online store for Mums who love quality and have kids obsessed by cars, trucks, trains and all things that move. …

After 10 weeks out with a pelvic fracture, it was After 10 weeks out with a pelvic fracture, it was amazing to see my boy back on the court last night doing what he loves. Your dedication to rehab and the patience you’ve shown have truly paid off. I’m so proud of you - 16 pts and 13 reb (+ a blood nose 🤧) is an incredible return! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings 💪🏻🖤❤️🏀
