Tired of trying to get rid of paint and (worse!) glitter off your kitchen table after your Mini Picassos have produced a masterpiece? Then get them their own little plastic table to get creative on. Available at Mothercare, this table has been reduced from £25 to £20 so you can spend the £5 you save on something to get your kids’ creative juices flowing!

• Click here to get creative with Mothercare*

This lightweight, easy-to-move blue plastic table is ideal for your child to sit at and do crafts or even eat their snack at. With dimensions of 57cm high x 37.5cm in length x 37.5cm wide, its suitable for kids from 2 years old. It comes flat-packed and even I (who cant even knock a nail into a wall straight), can slot the four plastic legs on to the table and it’s assembled in under two minutes.

The table surface is slightly textured to stop paper from sliding around, giving your child a good surface for drawing, colouring, painting and building jigsaws. Mothercare also offer co-ordinating chairs in a variety of colours which are sold separately. If you order online you’ll be charged a delivery fee of £2.95 so why not pop into your closest Mothercare and get a table and chair set and say goodbye to paint stained eating surfaces forever!

This body butter from Soap & Glory called The Righeous Butter has to be my favourite all time body butter in the history of forever. And I happened upon it entirely by accident. It was on sale in Boots, along with a couple of other products including a wash poof (that fell apart within a month) and the body wash (which was nice).

This product sells for £10 on their site, but can often be less at Boots* so take a peek there first if you happen to want to try it out after my review.

Wow. What a smell. I cannot tell you why the smell of this Soap & Glory Righteous Butter is so utterly intoxicating to me, but it is. It reminds me of fields, and skin that’s warmed by the sun, and freckles, and happiness, and giggling next to a campfire on the beach.

It has also won the Woman & Home best in beauty award. I am clearly not alone in this love affair. It also does what it should, it moisturises. My skin suffers in the winter with the constant changes from hot to cold and back again, and this does the job. It doesn’t rub on thick and oily only to feel all thin and useless and papery ten minutes later. No, you get proper moisturiser with this Soap & Glory product.

The only negative I would give the Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter is that the smell could be, for some, a little too overpowering, especially if they are heavy handed with their moisturiser. This is a sentiment shared by others on their site but I must say that it isn’t something that would stop be from buying this. Ever. I may just stock up for life, just in case.

Music plays a powerful role in the development of a child. From the moment they can hear in utero to the day they are born and up, music can inspire them, relax them, help them learn and develop and so much more. This week PlayPennies teamed up with the very well know music group, Jo Jingles, to talk about the importance of music and singing for your children.

I hate having to admit this in a public forum, but I have a confession to make. It turns out I can't make biscuits. They just go all runny and mishapen. I swear I am following the recipe precisely. And I have tried three different recipes now, none of which worked. Is there some sort of black art involved in making biscuits? Am I committing some sort of basic error? Is it my (gas) oven that's at fault?

All I know is that I had to bring in help to get the 3D T-Rex Cookie Cutters (from the gadget website Red5) reviewed, much to the disappointment of my son. Although he did have a lovely playdate around at his friend's house, with his much more competent mummy, making and icing, and eventually eating, their very own dinosaurs.

What, exactly, is a 3D biscuit? And how do you make one? Well, read on to find out!

Owning a video camera doesn’t mean you suddenly become brilliant at shooting home movies. Often the opposite is entirely true. There is camera shake, funny noises, blurred shots, a bit of a Blair Witch thing with random feet and noses, and the weather doesn’t help either. So, we went and asked around for some ideas on how to capture fantastic videos while out with your family and both Panasonic and the National Trust replied…

The weather has been, let’s face it, more than a little unpredictable lately. I would even go so far as to say that the weather, if likened to a mental state, has moved from strange to downright insane. So where can you go on a gloomy day?

I think that this may be the longest product name title for a PlayPennies review yet and it is a worthy product for such an honour. Oh yes, it really is. I adore bath products and I’ve used all sorts of different types, styles, shapes and monetary values. It takes quite a bit to make me sigh with delight or go “Oooh!”

The Champneys spa indulgence mousse did just that for two reasons. The first is the fact that it is so unusual. I’ve used mousse in my hair and on my skin, but never as a shower soap before. Maybe I’m not as au fait with the world of bath products as I thought I was, but this is still quite a novelty. And what makes it even more special is how utterly clever it is.

When you use normal bath gel or soap you tend to get far more than you need onto the sponge. Or you spill a bunch, or you have to keep reapplying because it doesn’t stay on the sponge. Not the case with this Champneys mousse. No. Here you give a few squirts of the mousse onto your cloth or sponge of choice, you shower, you don’t run out. Well, I haven’t!

The second reason is that the Champneys spa indulgence Distant Shores mousse smells divine. You don’t smell like you have stepped out of a dodgy boudoir nor do you smell cheap, instead it leaves a fresh and slightly spicy note on your skin that catches your nose as you move, but doesn’t impact on your perfume. I absolutely love this product.

However, the price tag is quite high. The Champneys Spa Indulgence Distant Shores Shower Mousse costs about £8 at Boots*. It has lasted me a month and shows no signs of running low, so this does bode well for the product’s value for money, but £8 is quite steep if you’re on a tight budget

Want to have more children and need some ideas on how to boost your system and get it into shape? Well, beyond exercise and healthy living, there are some great foods that are apparently rather brilliant at getting both you and your partner’s bodies ready for a baby.

I tried the code out on their range of new products, the stuff that’s just in. I put gorgeous Colour Crush eye shadow for £7.00, Leona Lewis Cruelty Free lip-gloss for £7.00 and Born Lippy lip balm for £2.00 into my basket. That should have come to £16.00. When I used the promotional code it was reduced to £14.00 so the lip balm was free, lovely!

I’m not very good with jewellery. I never buy it and when I do, I only wear it on special occasions. I’m not sure why the bug has never bitten but it hasn’t. So when I when I was given a pair of Madeleine St Clair earrings to review I was worried. Would I know what to do?

The answer is a very simple – yes! The earrings were sent to me in a lovely little box, wrapped in sheer gauze and secured onto firm white board. They glittered like a magpie’s dream and I couldn’t help but reach over and stroke them as they lay on the counter. How they sparkled!

Gorgeous doesn’t even begin to describe these earrings from Madeleine St Clair which are silver tone and crystal with a round drop and a truly lovely design. They are square and don’t hang off the butterfly like the usual earring, instead they loop up and around, securing onto your ear lobes with a very chic and subtle connection.

If you look closely at the picture, you will see how much effort has gone into the detail of these Madeleine St Clair earrings. Plenty of sparkle, lots of style, not too much bling or over the top drama and the result is a stylish piece of jewellery that can be worn down during the day and dress up any outfit at night. These are the perfect gift for mum from dad on the day that baby is born. They are absolutely high enough quality to make mum beam, and low enough in price to make dad sigh in relief.

I think what really surprised me about this range of jewellery was the price. What are you thinking they cost? A pair of designer earrings that are not sold as a bog standard across the planet? I bet you were not expecting me to say £35. Yeah, they get a huge point boost for the price range alone. Take a look at what’s on offer and you’ll see jewellery that can fit most budgets and will make lovely gifts.
