Yesterday I shared the first part of our Barcelona adventure with TravelSupermarket. Today, I am back with the second instalment sharing the fun activities that TravelSupermarket arranged for us. Saturday We woke up on Saturday morning and after a quick Google we headed to Federal, hailed as the best place in Barcelona for breakfast. We weren’t disappointed. Run by hipsters, we did …
When we were asked by TravelSupermarket if we wanted to go to Barcelona for the weekend as part of their #SuperCityBreaks campaign, it didn’t take us long to respond with a big ‘YES PLEASE!’. Being a blogger is amazing, but still opportunities like this don’t come along that often and we were so thrilled to be asked to go and …
Gynoii asked us to review their smart baby monitor. We love a bit of technology, so we couldn’t resist having a look. This monitor is a WiFi based system that live streams images directly to your Smart phone or tablet. Working on both IOS and Android devices. The monitor can be used on a table top stand or via a clamp, meaning …
Gaining weight during your pregnancy is a healthy and positive sign – so long as your weight gain is within the healthy range. For most mums-to-be, eating healthily and taking regular exercise should be enough to maintain a healthy weight during the first and second trimesters. However, the third trimester of your pregnancy will require every ounce of energy you …
Baby has been bitten by the bug, the pony bug. I grew up thinking about horses every second and it looks as if my little beauty is headed the same way. I can’t say I am upset; I would love her to follow in my footsteps if it remains something she loves to do. I was looking for some more bedding …

As Parragon Book Buddies we get sent a lovely new book to show you each month. As it is now October (I know can you believe it!) the book we received was Halloween themed; ‘Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere’. Although it is a paper paged book, it is aimed at young children, following various different pumpkins out trick or treating. I have mentioned it …
For Baby’s 1st Birthday we bought her a wooden playhouse for the garden, we created a little private garden for her surrounded by a white picket fence. I made the curtains and spent so much time collecting bits and bobs to make it just perfect for her. Baby adores her own little house and while it is still in our …
One of the most iconic toys in British history, to my mind, is the Tiny Tears doll and they are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. Tiny Tears was the first fully functioning feeding, crying and wetting doll with closing eyes, moveable arms, legs and head. To celebrate this milestone John Adams have released the limited edition Tiny Tears 50th Anniversary Doll and …
If you were asked to share a picture of you with someone who makes you smile, who would you pick? Difficult isn’t it? If you think about it, it’s actually a great problem to have? We have so many people in our lives who make us smile, that narrowing it down becomes a problem. I was asked to do just …
One word would describe last weekend and that is WOW! We were invited to stay at Sunnycroft in Brixham, Devon by Blue Chip Holidays, to test out one property in the Baby Blue Chip collection; their special range of properties that have parents and children firmly in mind, but without compromising on luxury. Sunnycroft is, as you can see, a beautiful …
At the beginning of August Baby decided it was time to start potty training. All of a sudden she didn’t want her nappy on and so her potty training journey began. Although I was looking forward to bring rid of nappies, the thought of potty training filled me with dread! As we are Huggies Pull-Ups Ambassadors we had been supplied with …
There are many places to buy plus size clothes on the high street. However, I have found that some brands just make the smaller designs bigger. So the cut and design isn’t always the most flattering for the plus size lady. Pink Clove is different, they cater specifically for ladies size 16-32, so their extensive range is designed to flatter the fuller figure. All their …
When I heard about the Godiva Challenge, I knew I wanted to take part. Firstly, I love a challenge and secondly for every entry, Godiva will donate £5 to Breast Cancer Now. My mum is a breast cancer survivor, enough said. Our brief was to create something with chocolate, meringue and combining a pink element. As the winning dessert will make …
If you could have a dream makeover any room in your house, which would you choose? Bizarrely, I would choose the room that is actually in need of a makeover least of all, Baby’s bedroom. When she moved into her new bedroom about a year ago, we decorated her new room for her and I actually really love it. However, …
In just over two weeks we are off to Barcelona for the weekend and we are so excited! It will be Baby’s first time on a plane, which fills me with just as much trepidation as it does excitement, but I am sure she will be a little superstar. Fingers firmly crossed. The lovely people at Travel Supermarket are sending us to …
The fabulous Home and Interiors brand Houseology recently sent Baby a statement Vitra Eames Elephant Stool to add some excitement to her bedroom. Let’s face it you can’t get much more exciting than having an elephant in your bedroom!. This is not just an Elephant stool, but an Elephant stool with history. First created by the Eames brothers in 1945, as …
Baby is so happy to be a Toot Toot Friends Ambassador; she was even more happy when a huge bundle of fabulous toys arrived! What kiddo wouldn’t be?! She could barely wait for me to put everything together, before launching into playtime. Thankfully it was reasonably quick to assemble and was intuitive, which was great for me as I don’t like reading instructions. …
When we were offered the chance to work with eurocamp and visit one of their French holiday locations, we started to think about the practicalities of travelling there with a toddler in tow. Travel from Dover to Calais was included, but a huge journey either side of the channel plus a ferry crossing wasn’t very appealing. Anyone who belongs to …
At the beginning of the month we headed to France for Baby’s first holiday abroad. We had been invited by eurocamp to stay at one of their sites in Europe and we picked France. Knowing we would be driving to the ferry, then again once in France, we decided on Domaines des Ormes in Dol-de-Bretagne (Brittany). We got the ferry to …
Our family are fortunate to have never been the victim of a burglary, but many of our friends have been in this awful situation. It can be devastating; the thought of strangers being in your house, rifling through your possessions, but it can also be costly too. We all have countless electronic devices, which make rich pickings for burglars. October is National Home …
Summer is getting ready to wave goodbye for another year, but not before we attended the Sway PR end of summer party. Baby and I hopped on a train to London, meeting Katy and her girls, before making our way to the gorgeous Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. We had been invited to attend the party, socialise with other bloggers and …
HUGGIES® Pull-ups are encouraging parents and toddlers to say goodbye to nappies and hello to learning pants! The new learning liner inside HUGGIES® Pull-Ups® allows children to feel wetness for a few moments, before quickly drawing the moisture away. This way, little ones will start to learn the difference between wet and dry and means they can ultimately stay dry on …
A couple of weeks ago Baby and I were invited to London to take part in the Actimel back to school event. Baby will be heading back to preschool and some of the other kids would be going to school for the first time. The idea behind the event was to show how Actimel for Kids can help your kids get back …
We all adore reading in our house and Baby is certainly no exception. She loves being read to and has amassed a huge selection of books already in her two and a half years. A friend of mine found a gorgeous old open fronted bookcase on ebay and I have wanted one ever since. My friend’s is so lovely, but I …
Kids love fancy dress. FACT. These three are definitely no exception. I was asked if I wanted to try our some fancy dress costumes and I knew immediately which kiddos would love them most. So with Sophia, Ariel and Jake in my bag I set off (with lots of yummy party food) to see one of my best friends in the …
Do you need to let go?…. I know I do. I sometimes wonder at what point in my life I think I morphed into superwoman? I obviously haven’t turned into a superhero, yet I feel a tremendous pressure to give everything 100%, to be perfect in every aspect of my life and be everything to everyone at the same time. When …
My name is Kavitha Nair, mother to a spirited toddler and a qualified Gentle Sleep Coach. As a first time mother, raising a baby was the toughest day job I had ever done, but the nights became tougher than the days. I wasn’t getting any sleep and was perpetually tired and anxious. As days morphed into months, my baby and …
Sleep when you become a parent is a precious commodity. Let’s face it, we all want more of it, don’t we? If it is not our little cherubs keeping us awake, the stress of our fast paced modern lives can mean it is difficult to switch off. Here are some tips that could help you drift off easier when you have …
I love products that are a little out of the ordinary. I also love it when I find an online store that offers lots of choice, as well as giving you access to smaller more independent sellers; which is why I was thrilled to find Zazzle. Packed with lovely products and great design, their things have a way of appearing in your …
