Being a Little Explorer

Advantages: Freedom from the Buggy, Very Adjustable
Disadvantages: Hard to try out, Expensive

...**************** Littlelife Explorer Child Carrier **************** Child carriers are a nifty little invention which allow you to carry your child around on your back - hopefully in relative comfort. They are very similar to normal backpacks in their variability in cost, size and design. We have always enjoyed walking, usually just long ambles around the English countryside, but occasionally we have tackled mountains as well. We didn't want to limit ourselves to pushchair friendly walking when our little one arrived so we looked into child carriers as soon as she was old enough to sit in one comfortably (this is probably around six months). Now I don't want to scare you off baby backpacks altogether, but buying one is not a job for anyone lacking in persistence or stamina. Before I get into details about the one we chose here...

It's the good life for the perky little penguins!

Advantages: great story and illustrations
Disadvantages: none

...I love penguins and everything to do with them and I also seem to be passing this love on to my two little girls. Everytime we see a story book about penguins it seems we have to read it! This latest one - Perky Little Penguins - they absolutely love! This story is written by Tony Mitton and is illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees and it is absolutely wonderful from the first word. In fact even before you open the book, you get a good flavour by looking at the lively, vibrant colourful picture on the cover. As you can see this story is definitely going to involve some 'perky little penguins'. I have to say that there isn't really very much of a storyline - the book basically takes you through one day in the lives of the penguins but it is fun. It starts with the penguins coming out to play and looking for their playmates. They then have...

Review of Perky Little Penguins - Tony Mitton

Let a little sunshine into your life!

Advantages: Hilarious, touching and well-acted
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit of a predictable message

...and everything in between! The only problem is ? where?s Olive?! Let?s get straight to the point ? Little Miss Sunshine is probably the funniest film of 2006, and one of the best I?ve seen overall. It?s the kind of film that makes you laugh and go ?aww?, but at the same time has moments of real emotion, and doesn?t shy away from the darker side of life. The tone can sometimes change surprisingly quickly, but it?s always done smoothly. It?s quite satirical towards America?s obsession with ?winners? and ?losers?, and it?s a comedy with a serious message. Saying that, though, the film just moves from one hilarious situation to the next, as well as having some funny running jokes, such as the way they all have to push the van then run and jump into it. The Oscar-winning screenplay is excellent, full of sarcastic one-liners from Frank and granddad...

Super-absorbant little towel

Advantages: Aborbant, small for packing
Disadvantages: a bit small

...rough towels from yester year. Now like all products there are of course the downsides, although they aren't that numerous with this towel. 1. It is very small which at first is an asset but when you come to dry yourself can pose a bit of an embarassment! 2. If a towel can be stylish this one is not - it contains no pictures of famous celebs printed on it but for me that isn't really a disadavntage although for some it may be a thing they feel necessary for a beach towel to truly be a 'beach towel'. 3. The case that it somes with is also rather awkwardly shaped that means its hard to get the towel back in without screwing it up into a little ball, which of course is annoying. Overall i think this is a real quality product and now it has come down in price to £12 so easily within most budgets and for me should be on most kit-lists!...

A day in the life of little old me

Advantages: ermmm, I get to read a lot
Disadvantages: travelling

...A day in the life of little old me (Alarm clock sound effect). What? Is it 6:30am already? Do I have to get up? Grumble, grumble, grumble. I am NOT a morning person, in fact, I have never been a morning person. But I?m digressing ? It?s time to get ready for work. I have a quick shower and go downstairs for some cereal and to prepare my lunch (Bag of crisps and sandwich using homemade bread, yummy). After breakfast, brush my teeth, put my contact lenses on (is this too much information? I don?t know) and get dressed. It?s usually smart casual, except for Fridays, of course. Once ready (usually around 7:20ish), I grab my laptop, leave the house and head for the train station. Get there about 10 minutes and where do I head to first ?. the ticket counter? No, I?ve a season ticket ? the espresso bar, of course! Greet the barista...

DON'T MESS WITH ME - I'M A LITTLE NINJA!!!

Advantages: Teaches good skills; learn through play
Disadvantages: Not enough one-to-one tutoring

...direct to the instructor. From then on, if your child wishes to carry on with the class, they require a direct debit of £20 per month, which is my opinion, is fairly reasonable. I imagine this goes towards paying for the hire of the room, together with insurance and of course the instructor?s time. Good Points In my opinion, the good points far outweigh the bad ones. As well as providing lots of fun for the child, they are basically learning through play. The various skills they learn are designed to help them through into adulthood, and will aid them in being the best at what they do. The Little Ninjas motto is: ?Little Ninjas today, leaders tomorrow? I honestly think this is such a unique way of setting children on the right path in life and I will certainly encourage Matthew to continue his classes with a view to...

Life is just a game - enjoy it

Advantages: Good family fun
Disadvantages: Rules are quite difficult to pick up at first

The Fabulous Little Britain

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: None

...It is hard to believe that it was as long ago as February 2003 that the digital/freeview channel BBC3 first ran a pilot episode of a new comedy called Little Britain. The response was fantastic and the creator's Matt Lucas and David Walliams were commissioned to write a full series of eight episodes, which were first broadcast on BBC3 in the September of the same year. Following on from this success it was then re-run on BBC2. What is it all about? The Little Britain series is basically a collection of short sketches, which feature the same characters from one week to the next. Each character creation is very unique and you soon get to know their peculiarities and catchphrases. It is these individual characters which make the programme what it is, as it is these people that you soon grow to love. Little Britain works as...

Little Big Planet The truth

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: too many things

... Little Big Planet Introduction Little Big planet was 1st available to buy in November and has had amazing reviews. The funny and easy to play system made a game for everyone, even call of duty and Killzone 2 gamers would die for this game. Only for the PS3 it makes this game even specially as the 360 owners cant get there hands on it. So in this game review ill go through story, campaign, community, creating levels, online and an overall, so enjoy Story Well the story doesn?t really become a story till the end, but it does go all around the world making you complete each country with little fun bonus levels with each one. There isn?t really a story so this is all that can be said. Campaign The campaign is really special and you can see the game designers have put a lot into each and every level...
