Win £100 Cash!

If you are interested in winning £100 cash then all you need to do is to sign up to Little Legends and start adding comments about places for kids you have been to.

The person to have added the BEST COMMENT by 12pm on 31st July will be the winner.

The rules are as follows:

1) You must register at the site and enter the first section of your postcode.

2) Your opinions must appear in the comments section of the place listing, rather than the notes section.

3) Your comment must be a minimum of 30 words and express some useful information specific to the place you are talking about. So, just saying “this place is great” will not count. Positive and negative comments are acceptable but no offensive remarks are allowed.

4) You must have direct knowledge of the place you are commenting on.

5) You can find places by searching by keyword or postcode. However, if after carrying out a search, you cannot find the place you want to comment on, then feel free to add the place yourself.

6) If you win, you will be contacted via the e-mail address you give when you sign up, so please make sure this is correct.

7) The winner will be paid the cash via paypal, so if you don’t already have a paypal account you may need to set one up.
8) The winner will be announced here

9) The judge’s decision is final.

If you have any queries, please send me a message on the Little Legends system (NB you will need to be signed in)

Family Days Out in Edinburgh

This is a new idea. Each month I will focus on a different town, city or borough in the UK. I will research the childfriendly venues in the chosen place and add them to Little Legends.

I will not be able to add everything, so please feel free to join in:
* if you recognise a place you know then perhaps you could share your experience by adding a comment; or
* you could add one of your favourite places; or
* you could let me know your favourite places and I will add them for you.

I will start with Edinburgh because two of my favourite blog authors (Little Mummy and Mother at Large) are locals.

If you are looking for Days Out in Edinburgh, why not start with:

* Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
* Royal Botanic Garden
* Royal Museum of Scotland

Littlelegends: Online help for stressed-out mums

The following article about Little Legends appeared in the Wandsworth Borough news today:

A Wandsworth mother sick of struggling to find child-friendly locatins has set up a networking website for parents faced with a similar predicament.

Mum of three, Vicky Wood, 33, moved house two years ago and was frustrated by the difficulty of locating the best places in the borough for parents with kids in tow.

With the help of her brother, technical whizz Piers Young, she took the matter into her own hands and set up an online network for parents.

The site, called Littlelegends.biz contains profiles of more than 35,000 child-friendly services, restaurants, parks, shops, hotels , clubs and major attractions all over the UK.

Parents can now search by postcode to find the most childfriendly places in their area.

Mrs Wood, a lawyer with a six week old baby, a four year old and a five year old, said:

“We’ve had some really positive feedback.

“The social networking thing is fairly new but I think people find it really useful to be able to search for places by postcode, whether it’s a cafe you can take buggies into or a hairdresser that cuts children’s hair”.

The fast growing membership base of parents are encouraged to add their own places, comments and ratings.
