What's your New Year's Resolution?
2011 has come and gone, and we are left with a brand new year with which to make our mark and start anew. As parents, we naturally make resolutions geared towards our family; we may vow to do more with the children, take up a new hobby, aim to go greener, or even burn off those extra pounds gained over the indulgent Christmas period with a new exercise regime.
But whatever your 2012 resolution may be, this special e-news update is crammed full of family-friendly inspiration for you to kick start the new year and begin 2012 with a bang!

Soft Toy Storage Solution!
A new way to store all those soft toys! The Zoo is the new soft toy storage system that lets children keep their soft toys and furry friends safely and securely. It’s the perfect way to stop hoards of soft toys from hiding in the corner of the playroom or camping out at the end of the bed. Fun to use, The Zoo is made from sustainably-sourced wood and has child-safe flexible bars that keep soft toys in and children out. The Zoo screws to the wall for safety and takes up a minimal amount of space.
