So my two and a half year old little boy is currently infatuated with superheros.

Yep.  It was bound to happen.

I must admit, I have welcomed it with open arms.  I have embraced it.

We have a wonderful array of costumes – spider-man, batman and superman (and the collection is growing!) ….  but it appears they are not enough.

And alas, I think I have fostered an obsession.  I have had requests for superhero inspired quilt covers to superhero drinking cups

The latest and most persistent request has been for ‘Superman shoes’! 

Has anyone else realised how incredibly difficult it is to source anything that is slightly superhero related, let alone ‘Superman shoes’?!! 

This is what I have found – and just quietly, they are very cute!  What do you think?  Has your little one had a similar obsession?  How do you deal with it?  Would love to hear your views!

Loving these little sneakers – found here

How cute are these little Superman sandals?  Found here

Unfortunately, these are only available in mens sizes  .  Found here

We are loving the look of these beautifully dyed Easter Eggs.

The best part ….. they are dyed using natural ingredients, and with vegetables and spices that you would typically have available in your kitchen.

The soft pastel colors are amazing – head on over here for instructions.

And how about the marble effect that you can achieve – just beautiful.  In case you need another source, you can also find some more instructions here .

Wow, how impressive is this wonderful little treat.

When I first spotted this my mouth started watering and I was just stunned.

Chocolate brownies in egg shells … what a fab idea.  How is this possible?

I have yet to attempt this, but for those more ‘seasoned’ bakers of you, you can find the details here.
