Thirsty Kids Need Hydration Heroes

Hydration Heroes with Nuby feature

Ever since he was old enough, Biggest has had a favourite kind of cup. Because he has autism, he gets very attached to things and he cannot cope well with change. As a result, I have always kept spare cups in the cupboard – just in case his favourite cups get lost or break. He… Read More

Back to School with Kickers Shoes

Back to School with Kickers Feature - Close up of shoes and boy and girl wearing shoes at playground

When I was a teenager, Kickers were a back-to-school must-have. They had chunky heels and laces that wove around the sides of the shoes. They had little red and green tabs and corresponding red and green details on the soles. And every September there was a new pair that I coveted. My favourites were navy… Read More

Brave by Nature – Drinking More with Highland Spring

Brave by Nature - with Highland Spring

To the casual observer, my son may not appear to be brave. His days are laced with anxiety. Sometimes, he sobs because he has the wrong cup. At the adventure park, when the other children climb and jump and spin, he may scream and wail, become inconsolable. He cannot bear inconsistencies, hates the idea of… Read More

Transitioning to a single bed with FUÜM

My boy is growing up. The bittersweet landmarks of childhood seem to coming thick and fast at the moment. There are primary school transition days and school uniforms to order.
