I’ll start this by saying little boys – and actually all kids – love superheroes. Fluxling #1, in the absense of an obvious female iconic champion, invented her own alterego called ‘Supersnap’ when she first started school age 4. She’d run off down the lane shouting ‘Supersnap, Supersnap’ each day on her way to class. [...]

Boys in tights! Why is it such a quandry? I have had actual discussions – that were causing some consternation – on whether it’s OK to dress little boys in tights under their trousers in the colder winter months. But why should fluxling #1 have freezing cold legs while his older sister is warm and [...]

Kids dungarees can never go out fashion in our opinion, and are equally as perfect for little boys and little girls. But really great ones can be difficult to find.
