We were asked by FG4 if Baby would like some new clothes. Well, what little girl wouldn’t want new clothes?! We had a peek at their website and found three gorgeous outfits that we knew would look fab on Baby. FG4 is George Davies’ latest fashion brand, which launched internationally in 2011 and recently launched in the UK. George Davies is …
We adore being outdoors and winter doesn’t change that for us. We love to go for walks, splash in puddles and spend time with the ponies. The only thing that changes from summer to winter, is that we make sure we wrap up warm. Kozi Kidz kindly sent Baby their Forest All-in-One suit and she couldn’t wait to give it a test …
I love wearing heels, they make you feel more polished and feminine. However, a damaged back means that heels can be quite painful for me, so I seem to live in flats mainly for comfort. I was invited to a Hotter shop recently to have a look at the styles and to meet the lovely PR team. Baby and I …
I am certainly no domestic goddess, far from it in fact; but there are times when the cleaning has to be done and then I am all about finding quick and effective solutions to sprucing up our home. Maximum impact with minimum time and effort is what I strive for. We received a delivery of the New Plenty Easy Clean Wipes …
Towards the end of the summer Baby was sent a new Flip Sandpit from Wickey. She adores building sandcastles in all weathers, and letting her play in a sandpit saves me a long drive to the beach! It arrived as individual planks of wood (not pre assembled) and I must admit I tried to put it together myself twice, but I couldn’t …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Since I moved ‘down south’ the Royal County of Berkshire Show has been an almost yearly event for me to attend. I love County shows for the vast array of things of offer, all under ‘one roof’ and couldn’t wait to take Baby with us this year. We weren’t alone, 60,000 visitors attended the show and made it a really fantastic event. …
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 …
I remember growing up watching Children in Need on the TV every year and as kids we would often do a sponsored ‘something’ to raise some money for the charity. This year we were sent a lovely box of Children in Need products to share with you all and I couldn’t believe how many products are in the range. I …
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. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
A couple of weekends ago we went to the beach. I have mentioned before that, as a family, we adore visiting the beach come rain or shine. I personally prefer the wildness of the beach in winter. Although I love the beach, one thing that drives me insane is the fact that sand gets everywhere. You sit down to get …
Baby has decided that she loves all things ‘Princess’, any slightly full skirt or dress immediately becomes a ‘princess’ dress and I think she would glue her toy tiara to her head given half a chance. So when she woke up one morning to find a Little People Disney Princess Musical Dancing Palace in the living room her little face was a …
I think there is something lovely about growing produce with children. It’s wonderful for them to plant something and see it grow, developing into something that they can eat. I have aspirations about growing veggies in the garden, but realistically I would probably forget they were out there and kill them off; Charley Dimmock I am not! Planting herbs, ours were from …
There is something about summer picnics that is quintessentially British. We LOVE them, don’t we?! Whether it is a carpet picnic when it’s raining or basking in the sun surrounded by goodies, picnics are always such fun. When thinking about tasty treats for your picnic anything goes, but picnic food needn’t be boring. No limp Quiche and dry old pork pie needn’t …
We were invited to try out the new kid’s menu at Cafe Rouge and jumped at the chance for a lovely family lunch. Café Rouge say “Using only the finest ingredients served in a stylish and relaxed environment, Café Rouge’s carefully designed menu has been created to tickle even the pickiest youngsters’ taste buds. To cater for fussy eaters, Café …
When we were invited to be official Camp Bestival Bloggers, it wasn’t long before we realised we had no camping equipment at all. So a collaboration with Cotswold Outdoor was just what we needed, thanks guys! The most important thing on our wish list was a tent. I wanted a big tent, so it would make things easier with a toddler and LOTS …
So if you are a regular reader of our blog, you will know that last weekend we went to Camp Bestival. It was our first time experiencing a family festival and I did have doubts, right up until the first night! We stuck it out, got over our bumps and lived to tell the tale. What’s more we all LOVED it …
Last weekend we were getting our festival vibe going at Camp Bestival; yesterday I started a little series of posts with Baby’s favourite things about the festival. Today I want to share Hubby and my highlights. A festival with a toddler is utterly exhausting, but equally as rewarding and for someone who never stops, it was so lovely to spend some quality …
Baby has just experienced her first festival and I wanted to share her highlights as part of my series of Camp Bestival posts. I am a little worried that after spending four days in a field witnessing such amazing and crazy things, her sense of reality will now be a little bit warped! Here are Baby’s Camp Bestival loves. 1. Bubbles …
