Fab Store in Stanmore

Hi Guys, I have to tell you about this fabulous store that is hidden in Stanmore, Sydney. It is called Magic Roundabout. From the outside you will have no idea what treasures are to be found once you enter. Hey you Stanmore people have been keeping this a secret.
I should tell you this is a kids store selling both New and Pre-Loved clothes, shoes, toys, books and ever so much more. They even have baby furniture. For me the real joy was seeing all the wonderful array of hard to find items. These are things that you just don't see if you go to a department store or shopping center. 
The toys, oh my goodness the toys, beautifully hand crafted wooden toys, you know the type that are timeless. I personally love puzzles and the puzzles they have are of quality and also come in a carry case. I am a fiend for great packaging ( call me shallow). I so much wished I had a little one at home to buy these things for but alas I was there to buy a gift.
There was just so much to choose from and you know what, they had heaps of choice for boys.
Anyway, if you are in Sydney, go to Magic Roundabout in Stanmore. Allow at least an hour just to browse.

The ultimate iPhone / iPad case for parents

Have a look at this post that I came across today on coolmomtech.com.

Put kids and gadgets together and it can be pretty risky business. Whether it's a potential sippy cup leak in my purse or a tumble on the hardwood floors in my kitchen, I'm more than a little worried when I let my kids play on my iPhone 4.

What they really need is a completely kid proof iPhone case, which I think is exactly what I finally found.


 When I saw the LifeProof Apple iPhone 4 case, you can bet I popped my name right on that pre-order list. This amazing case protects your precious phone against dust and shock, just in case you're stuck in a sand storm or accidentally drop it from up to 6 feet high - which actually isn't that impossible. Trust me. And it's also completely waterproof; in fact, you can actually swim with it, so a dunk in some juice should be child's play.
