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.

I recently discovered a new place to shop online where you can find so much kids character clothing for really reasonable prices. This place is Lamaloli. My boys were so happy with the clothes that I ordered from the site, all featuring some of their favourite characters including Big Hero 6, Skylanders and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

This is the first place that I have seen Big Hero 6 t shirts available so that was definitely a great find.

I’ve been a fan of Lilly and Sid clothing for a while, they have lovely quality and some beautiful fashionable yet classic designs. The boys were sent an outfit each from the new Spring Summer collection for this year, and as expected I’m really happy with the quality and the designs.

Every year as World Book Day comes around and children get ready for the dressing up day at school it’s lovely to see the variety of costumes at the school gates, and friends pictures on Facebook. Whether home made or shop bought, based on a newly created book character or an old classic.

The boys were sent a costume each from George at Asda from their range of dressing up outfits which are suitable for World Book Day, and they have had a lot of fun dressing up in them.

The costumes seen above from left to right are:

• Pirate
• Batman
• Iron Man

All of these are available from George at Asda for £12.50 each, along with many more.
