Penny Scallan - My first Review and Giveaway!

I've tried to think of an awesome way to write my first review, you know, make it funny and witty and blah blah blah.  Instead i'm gunna just give you the facts! 

First off, i have to say...Cover it in trucks and cars?  You're already monkeys lifelong friend!!  Make it practical and easy to clean?  You're already my lifelong friend!!
Enter my latest discovery in kids gears!

Penny Scallan Design

The goodies i sampled....

The Hat

 Aside from winning monkey over with the trucks and cars, it shades his face/ears/neck, and stays put when he runs/climbs/falls/wrestles because of the nicely weighted fabric and toggle....and he just looks damn cute in it!!!  For those days that Monkey's not in a 'Hat-mood' (most days) that toggle comes in awful handy!!

The Drink Bottle

Ha!! Love it!  Monkey tried squishing it to empty the contents on the floor.  Sorry kiddo, Stainless Steel!! Also has a spill proof lid that's replaceable!! Awesome!!

The Clipboard!!

Why did i never think of this one!?  I mean, i thought of colouring in when he got bored in the car (He LOVES colouring), but i just thought, nah, his car seat doesn't have a tray, and i'm not crafty enough to make one that would withstand the force that is monkey!  Lachy thinks his clip board is pretty darn Awesome!!  And when he gets bored colouring, he just shreds paper! (What's a bit of mess when you get a quiet car ride!)
This is a genius idea!!

The Backpack Lunchbox!!

What can i say, this one has won me over completely!  Thermal lined (and covered in scratch resistant PVC) to keep monkeys lunch fresh and cool (Even the drink bottle pocket!), REALLY easy to keep clean, and Velcro access, so it's easy for Mr Independent Monkey to get into without any help from a grown-up!! (My little boys getting so big!) It has straps to carry as a backpack, or a carry-bag.  And, well, monkey just looks so cute on his way to playgroup (or anywhere else he thinks he needs to go) with his lunch bag on his back!!  (Would like to add that i also throw in an extra nappy/wipes/pants, and they fit nicely with his lunch!)


And (Yay!!) i get to give one of these Awesome Backpacks away!!
