I adore photography and while most of the time I rely on my DSLR to help me get the shots I need, sometimes moments just happen. At these times I need to use my trusty iPhone 6. I first heard about the olloclip 4-IN-1 Lens for iPhone’s from another bloggers review and thought they looked great. Fast forward a year or …
We were recently invited to take Baby to Kidzania. I had heard of it before, as my friend Katy had taken her girls. I had thought they were going on holiday from the airport pictures! For those of you who have never heard of Kidzania before I will try to explain the concept. However, it’s totally amazing and a bit bonkers, …
A few weeks ago we headed off to Camp Bestival. There was no way that my little car would be man enough to transport all our camping stuff, so we were very grateful when the folks at Vauxhall offered to loan us a lovely Vauxhall Astra Tourer CDTi for the week. I have owned many cars over the …
I am going to start this tent review with a rather strange confession. I HATE camping! Yeah, I know this is a tent review… perhaps an odd opener. The thing is, I do LOVE festivals and while I personally think camping sucks; for me a festival wouldn’t be a festival without spending the night under canvas. So this is where …
I love a good bag! Every time I am stroking one in a shop (…) I hear Mr Hubby’s voice, saying ‘you don’t NEED any more bags’. Well, obviously he is a man and therefore has no valid opinion on bags at all. EVERYONE knows that you ALWAYS need another bag, especially when that bag is a Radley bag! With …
Baby has been sent the most amazing kid’s campervan play tent from Planet Camping; as soon as I saw it I knew she would love it. It arrived when she was at nursery, so I could get it set up away from prying eyes ready for a big reveal when she got home. I hate putting things together, but this …
A few weeks ago I received a lovely email from the folks at Peugeot. It was one of those really lovely emails that pops into your inbox and immediately brightens your day. ‘Would we like to have a Peugeot 5008 compact MPV for a week to review?’ Umm let me think?…. We obviously said an immediate yes and couldn’t wait …
Being a busy family there are always things we need to print off; tickets for days out, the latest of our cherished pictures and lots of various business documents. Sadly, I am the kind of person who always forgets to buy ink, so we are always unable to print when we really need to. Like our Olympic tickets when we …
When I first heard about Zinc Flyte Case Scooters I was blown away by how inventive the idea was. My second thought was how much Baby would love one; she is scooter obsessed and LOVES her suitcases. The Zinc Flyte Case Scooter, as the name suggests, combines a lightweight scooter with a hardshell suitcase. Genius?! The last time we went …
Last Wednesday our little angel turned three! She had been so excited for weeks and had been literally counting down the days. We got off to a wonderful start when she went downstairs to be greeted by this awesome Frozen banner announcing a party! As a Frozen obsessed little girl her day couldn’t have started any better. Her party goodies …
Occasionally there is a brand whose name is synonymous with quality and style; Jojo Maman Bébé is one such brand. So when they asked if Baby would like to try some pieces from their current range we jumped at the chance. The first outfit was the Elephant appliqué skirt and the super cute Floral trim breton stripe top. One of JoJo’s signature …
Well, it’s a walking marathon, but it’s still a marathon right?! I am going to go from coach potato to marathon walker. What has inspired this change? Getting my hands on a Polar Loop 2 activity tracker. When I was asked to try out the Polar Loop 2 I already had a fitbit and wondered how this would be different, …
The weather of late has not been ideal. We are more fortunate than so many people in the country, in that we haven’t had flooding, just many many wet days. I am not a fair weather person, but having adventures with a small person, when it is constantly pouring down is tricky. We will have just left the house when …
2015 was a big year for my blog, I wanted to reflect on some of the lovely things that happened during the year, so I will not forget what a difference blogging made to our lives. In terms of cold hard stats I am a bad blogger and don’t record them, which makes talking about growth difficult. I do know …
A few months ago I attended an event and at the end of the day we were given a goody bag which contained a Mia Tui cross over body bag! I know, brilliant, right?! There and then I fell in love with the colour and the gorgeous soft leather, not to mention their beautiful designs. When I returned from the …
This week Baby received a package from Egmont, a copy of the brand new Bob the Builder magazine which included the free gift of a toy hammer. Now, I did think twice about giving Baby a weapon, but in for a penny..! Bob the Builder has been around since 1998 and underwent an overhaul in 2014, when the design and voice over …
I have a very poor skincare routine, I think it is a bit of a stretch to actually call it a routine. As I am approaching 40 (18 months to go!) I have realised that I need to start caring for my skin a lot better, if I don’t want to end up looking like a Shar Pei. I was very …
This year being a blogger has meant that our little family has been away quite a lot, which we will always remain grateful for. Without these opportunities, we certainly couldn’t afford so many wonderful trips on our own. We were asked by the Novotel if we would like to stay in one of their hotels and quickly I imagined a …
Baby loves to learn, she counts to twenty with help, then recites the numbers to herself when she is falling asleep. She adores reading and is always asking what the names of new things are. So when were asked to review a new learning app for tablets from Tiggly, I thought it would be a great way to start her …
Certain brands are synonymous with quality. To me iCandy is one such brand; the Ferrari of the pushchair world. We are now the proud owners of an iCandy Raspberry Stroller. Our current stroller has thrown up a couple of issues with continued use, so we were ready to try something else. We had a few plans for the weekend, so the iCandy was …
Parragon books are lovely! During our time as book buddies we have been sent lots of books for Baby and they really are gorgeous, every single one of them. Parragon make so much effort with the design of the books, that it is always a joy to receive them. This month we were sent Peek-a-Boo Moon, which was no exception to …
Like many mums, I don’t often get chance to treat myself. There always seems to be something that Baby NEEDS, meaning that most of our disposable income goes on filling her over-spilling wardrobe. The lovely people at Eternal Collection offered to send me a piece of jewellery and I chose this Impressions Ocean Mist silvered resin and steel reversible stretch bracelet. This …
Baby has lots of bath toys, but when the lovely people at Boon offered to send us some goodies, it only took one little look at their site and we said yes please! Boon produce a variety of products and their bath range is both unique and innovative. Bug Pod The Bug Pod is stylish storage and a ladybird! What more could you …
A few months ago I won a blogging competition and the prize was a break at Treworgey Cottages in Cornwall. We live around four hours from Cornwall, so to break the journey up for Baby, we decided to go a day early and stay over night in Exeter. The Rougemont, Thistle Hotel kindly offered us a complimentary stay. The hotel, which is …
We have had our Cosatto Yo stroller from Online4Baby for a couple of months now. I shared our initial views a few weeks into owning the stroller, so I thought I would let you know how we have been getting on with it. We also made a little video, as I thought you might like to see it in action. Our main …
Like many busy parents we struggle to keep on top of the cleaning and housework. To be fair Mr Hubby is far better than I, at keeping up to date with things, but we need help. A regular cleaner isn’t an option for us at the moment. So we were more than happy when Fantastic Cleaners asked if we would like to …
I was pleased to be asked to review Chemist Direct, as I am trying to take more care of myself and ‘invest’ a little more in health and beauty products. I had never visited their website before, so I was keen to see what they had to offer. Chemist Direct highlights: The website was easy to navigate and clearly divided into …
Baby is in a transitional phase, she is almost ready to give up her highchair, but she is still a little unreliable at times…. So it was great timing when Wipe Easy Tablecloths asked if we would like to review an oilcloth tablecloth. They offer a wide choice of prints and lots of different size options. I picked this pink beach hut …
We are a family of TV watchers. Although we all love being outside, we equally relish our comfy time indoors watching our favourite shows. We currently have a very expensive Sky TV subscription and we could do with cutting down some of our expenditure. JNB Aerials offered us an Amazon Fire TV box, to see if it was the answer to …
Mr Hubby is the chef in our house, I like to think I am the baker… I am lucky that he finishes work and is home early enough to give Baby her dinner every night. Which also means he is responsible for cooking it! (result!). Baby can be quite fussy, so I think we have got into a bit of …
