Back To School With Clarks

Hand up if you had Clarks school shoes? I did and still remember feeling very smart and very special in my “princess” shoes,

Both of my boys have started shoe-life in Clarks and have continued to enjoy their shoes as they’ve grown older.With Clarks, you don’t only get a fabulous looking pair of school shoes, you get shoes that are designed to support growing feet. We always get the boy’s feet measured professionally to ensure that they are in the right size and this is what happened when we visited our local Clarks’ retailer recently. We went armed with a £40 voucher courtesy of Clarks who wanted us to treat ourselves to a pair of snazzy school shoes and review the overall process of getting fitted and buying our shoes.

Take one child that refuses to smile sweetly at the camera for you.

 

Take one super-friendly, knowledgeable and professional shoe-measuring lady.
Let the NOW smiling sweetly child entertain himself in the child-friendly store while you wait for your selection of suitable shoes to arrive.

 

Watch while the super-lovely lady helps your child try on the shoes he prefers, checks them to ensure the fit is correct and lets him have a walk around in them.

 

And….

Voila! You find yourself with a pair of great-fitting, hard wearing school shoes that you know will last! Kieran is really pleased with his “Cool” school shoes and I am happy in the knowledge that the health of his feet are in good hands with Clarks.

There is a fantastic range of school shoes available from Clarks. To view the ranges and find your local Clarks store, visit the website.

*Clarks sent us a £40 voucher to redeem against some shoes. This write up is based on our own experience of being fitted for, buying and wearing Clarks shoes.

Our Fabulous Photo Canvas From Photo-Canvas

I am not a fabulous photographer. I do however have fantastically gorgeous children who are regularly plagued by my obsession with recording pretty much everything they do. You see, they are both growing up so fast! I can’t believe that Kieran is already 6yrs old and that in November, my “newborn” will be 2yrs old!

A keen photographer I may be, however I am terrible at actually doing anything with the snaps offline. I have hundreds of photos on Facebook that I like to show off, I email them to family and I leave them in folders and flick through them occasionally. I don’t actually get around to printing them off and displaying them.

When Photo-Canvas got in touch and asked if I wanted to review a photo canvas I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to get Operation-Display-Those-Pics started.

And this is the photo I chose:

 

And the lovelies at Photo-Canvas helped me, using their easy to navigate ordering system, turn it into….

As I said, I am not a particularly good photographer, as my snap of the canvas on the wall proves, however I love this picture of Kieran and have to say it looks fabulous! My photo of the canvas doesn’t do it justice.

The canvas was quickly dispatched (and I could track this), was packaged very securely so damage whilst in transit could be avoided, and even included a hanging kit…

I am thrilled with the result and with the service that Photo-Canvas provided and will no doubt use them again as I liberate my online photos.

*Photo-Canvas offered me a photo canvas in return for a review. My findings are based purely on my own experiences and knowledge of the company.
