FG4 is the latest fashion brand from George Davies, the founder of Next, George at Asda, and Per Una at Marks and Spencers. FG4 has some lovely and stylish clothes, and I had no trouble finding plenty of great options for my boys.

My kids are really into costumes and dress up clothes at the moment. We have an ever growing collection of fancy dress outfits but one item that we were recently sent really stands out from the crowd.

TellTails is a company that specialises in making costume tails, for both adults and children. We were sent a kids dinosaur tale (shinosaur) and it is awesome! My boys love wearing this to play pretend, and it would be a great addition to a Halloween costume too.

Have your little Explorers been running around in their costumes since Oct 1? If it is like my house, they haven’t worn anything else! It is fun to see their creativity come to life. Sometimes, however, it is hard to keep up with all their creativity and endless costume changes!

I love this week’s Little Passports blog Post, Easy 4-step Halloween Craft. It is an easy Halloween craft sure to delight your darlings in disguise!

Brandy of Gluesticks Blog shows how she made this pencil erased stamped pumpkin t shirt for her kids. You could adapt this idea for all kinds of occasions and seasons too. Doesn’t it look great?!

If you, or your girls, are dressing up for Halloween this year and want a look that’s monster – but not too scary or gross, then Mavis’ Monster Glam is a great solution for you!

If you’ve watched the Hotel Transylvania movies (Hotel Transylvania 2 is out now!) , then you can’t help but like Mavis – the glamorous daughter of the famous vampire, Count Dracula. Mavis is a vampire too, but she just happens to be married to a human and has the cutest curly ginger haired little boy ever!

Here’s how to get her look in 8 easy steps!

My kids are crazy about Minions. With the huge success of the current movie, I’m guessing yours, or at least some kids that you know, are too. If that’s true, George at Asda has a wide range of Minions merchandise available at the moment and you might want to take a look!  Buying character items is a fantastic way to give practical presents that will still excite kids. My boys are always really happy with a t-shirt or Pjs if it features one of their favourite characters, and it’s something that gets used over and over – win win situation.

I recently came across Sole Trader, a site where you can get high street and designer brand shoes for kids and adults at discounted prices. With three growing kids to clothe, finding good quality products available at discount is always a great find! I was offered the chance to review some shoes from the Sole Trader site and have been really impressed with the good value of their products.

I chose a pair of trainers each for my youngest two boys, R and T and this came to just over 50 pounds for both pairs.

If your children wear glasses, then they might want to check out the new and exclusive range of children’s Disney and Marvel glasses available at Specsavers nationwide. Disney has teamed up with Specsavers to launch a magical range of glasses for children, which will be available in stores nationwide and Specsavers.com from Wednesday 13 May.

We visited Disney’s HQ last week to enjoy a screening of the new Cinderella movie (which we loved!) and to take a look at the new glasses range.
