Stoxbox – Let’s Get Organised

February 2 2013 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

Are you having trouble organising all the stockings and leggings you picked up during the Boxing Day sales?

Does your stocking draw look like mine (yes, that really is my draw – please stop laughing!)

I’m forever digging through a tangled mess of stockings and often find that I have more than one pair of the same pattern because I have no idea what’s in there.

If you’re like me (come on, stop denying it), you need Stoxbox.

What is Stoxbox you wonder……

Stoxbox is a fabulous product designed right here in Melbourne, to help you keep your stockings in order and make life easier.

This unique storage solution allows you to see AND store your hosiery so you can differentiate between denier, leggings or patterns. It certainly makes stocking selection easier (and the early morning rush to get ready, a little less stressful).

Stoxbox was invented by Danielle Ashcroft and won a Melbourne Design Award in 2012.

It seems I must REALLY like this particular stocking because I just found 3 pairs of them in my drawers (oops!).

They fit neatly into the drawer for clear visibility.

Stoxbox retail for $14.95 each or 3 for $39 and are available from David Jones.

VTech InnoTab 2 Giveaway

December 13 2012 By melbournemamma 96 Comments

One of the hottest toys hitting the shelves this Christmas is the Vtech InnoTab2.

The VTech InnoTab2 is an interactive, multi-media educational tablet for children aged 4-9.

The all new InnoTab 2 is designed specifically for little hands and the fun interactive games help them develop essential skills like reading, spelling, maths and logic.

It features:

– 5″ colour touch screen
– rotating multi-way camera with video recording functionality
– music player
– video viewer
– ebook reader
– in-built microphone & speaker, and
– a headphone jack

All this and more is housed in a sleek, kid-tough and compact design for easy portability. It also includes a handy in-built, fold-out stand for easier viewing of movies or for use as a digital photo frame!

Downloading games is as easy as connecting the InnoTab via USB to your pc or laptop and saving them onto the 2GB onboard memory. If you run out of space, there is an SD slot for extra memory.

With the InnoTab2, kids will have so much fun they won’t even realise they’re learning! (and you might even get your phone back 🙂 )

The InnoTab retails for $179.95 and comes in pink and blue. It is available from Toys R Us, Big W, Target and David Jones.

For more information visit www.vtechkids.com.au

I recently attended the launch of the InnoTab 2 and was really impressed with the features and functionality of this toy.

With a 5 yr old & 2 yr old who are always jumping on my phone to play games, I love the idea that they can play on the InnoTab and I don’t have to worry about them accessing inappropriate material from the internet or running up a huge bill by downloading games and accessories on my phone.

With one of these toys, I can relax and not have to look over their shoulders every 5 seconds to make sure that they’re not getting into something they shouldn’t be.

Martine Oglethorpe from The Modern Parent spoke at the launch and really opened my eyes to some of the online dangers young children are exposed on a daily basis. “As increased internet use becomes more socially acceptable and our children become more tech-savvy, a new set of challenges arise that parents have never had to face before”.

Whilst at the launch I received one InnoTab 2 for my kids and one extra to giveaway to one of my lovely readers.

Therefore, if you would like the chance to win a VTech InnoTab 2 for your kids this Christmas, make sure you enter the giveaway below.

Sammy Sea Patrol

November 4 2012 By melbournemamma 23 Comments

Whilst on holidays recently at the Gold Coast, my two little ones were fascinated with the surf lifesavers everytime we went to the beach. My 4yr old daughter had lots of questions, “who are those people?”, “what do they do?”, “why are THEY allowed to drive on beach?”, “why are the flags red & yellow, this is Australia, they should be green & yellow?” (she is very patriotic :)).

Imagine their delight when I was given the opportunity to review the new “Sammy Sea Patrol” toy.

The new toy from WOW, Sammy Sea Patrol is a lifesavers jeep, that comes with all the kit required to help in any emergencies including two figures dressed as Australian lifesavers (aptly named Cody & Summer), a rotating watch tower and a life ring that is attached to a retractable pull cord, so that children can re-enact a rescue mission. This toy is suitable for children as young as 18 months and comes with a 10-year warranty from WOW Toys.

This toy is ideal for role play and teaching children about the importance of water safety.

My two quickly began acting out a scenario where one of them was a naughty shark named “Bruce” (they love Finding Nemo), while the other was the lifesaver that had to save a swimmer in the water.

They’ve since gone on to rescue each other from a naughty whale (they also love Pinocchio) and a crazy octopus called “purpley” (no idea where he comes from….).

They are both having so much fun with the toy and can’t wait to get back to the beach to see the lifesavers again.

Hubby and I have also sat down with them to join in on the fun and we’ve been discussing the importance of being safe, both at the beach and in a swimming pool.

For more information on water safety, please visit Life Saving Victoria. If you’re interested in learning more, you should also check out Life Saving Victoria’s Meet a Lifeguard program, you can also download some great colouring in sheets for the kids.

If you would like to purchase this toy for your little ones, it is available now from www.kidstuff.com.au.

To help spread the water safety message, I have one Sammy Sea Patrol toy for someone to win.
