    Review and giveaway: Pot of Gold Balm

    *****Competition has now closed and the winners have been notified***** My search for the perfect nappy cream continues as I was recently sent a Pot of Gold Baby Balm from The New Zealand Honey Shop to try. When Edward is teething he gets awful nappy rash so I like to keep a cream in my changing bag at all times. Pot of Gold Baby Balm is for sensitive baby skin and has been brilliant on his nappy rash and great as an everyday nappy balm/cream, especially on his dry skin. It is also suitable for using with cloth nappies too as…

    Review: Baby nose-clear medicine dummy

    It can often be tricky to administer medicine when your little one is upset. The Eezimed dummy has been designed as a safe and easy way of administering exact amounts of medicine to your baby.It can be used from 3 months and is an alternative to using a spoon or syringe. I’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve needed to give Edward a dose of medicine when he ‘s had a raised temperature or needed pain relief to help with teething. It’s often difficult to get the right dosage or administer it when you’re half asleep and trying…

    Ella’s Kitchen first tastes

    We are huge fans of Ella’s Kitchen and were really excited to hear that they’re launching a new product which we were able to try. As soon as Edward saw what was in the parcel he put his hand out for the pouch. We were sent an apple and banana pouch and the colourful packaging definitely appealed to my son! Edward loves his fruit pouches and slurped his way through both pouches within minutes. He gave them a big thumbs up! First Tastes are a new range of stage 1 baby food which contain nothing but fruit (pears, bananas, mangoes…

    Review: buggy tug

    Child Safety week ran from 20th to 26th June and was sponsored by Argos, the UK’s number 1 safety retailer, and Lindam, the UK’s number 1 safety brand.  It is organised by the Child Accident Prevention Trust with the aim to raise awareness of the accidents that seriously injure or kill children and help advise parents on how to prevent them. When Edward started crawling we began to look at our house completely differently. We quickly bought stair gates, cupboard locks and put plastic edges of the corners of the table to limit any damage he could possibly do to…

    Cybermummy11

    Today was the day that Cybermummy11 took place at The Brewery in London. Thanks to my fabulous sponsors, NurseryValue.com I spent the day with lots of like-minded parents, learning how to improve my blog. Cybermummy11 I started the morning with a bit of a hair makeover from Michael Douglas. We had a good gossip about the celebs he has worked with and he’s a lovely guy (and great hairdresser!). The keynote speech was given by Sarah Brown who spoke about how and why she uses twitter, her charity work and making sure her children had normal family time when they…

I’ve been using the bag and it has plenty of room and pockets for nappies, wipes, a bottle, snacks and all the little things you need. The bag can also be used as a carrier and worn in three…
