    Celebrating Little Champions with Pampers and Jessica Ennis-Hill

    My children have kept me on my toes since the day they were born. After a particularly busy weekend, once again running around after my children, I am beginning to wonder if it will ever end 🙂 Pampers have teamed up with Jessica Ennis-Hill CBE, Olympic Heptathlon Champion, to launch the ‘Little Champions Campaign’ which will help to shine a light on the next generation of little athletes and encourage parents to celebrate their own little champions too. You can take a look at the video by clicking here. Celebrating Little Champions with Pampers Did you know – a crawling baby moves…

    Baby sight tool from Vision Direct

    The first 12 months of a baby’s life is a time of amazing growth and development. I remember trying to plan the nursery for Big Brother and realising that much of the design available was useless until he reached 12 months old and his vision would be almost as clear as an adult’s. Instead of picking the soft pastel colours which seemed popular in the shops we looked for bold colours and designs I knew would help his developing eyesight. Baby sight tool from Vision Direct Vision Direct, Europe’s largest online retailer of contact lenses, has launched a new interactive…

    Win a My First Forever Friends Chime Bear

    A couple of weeks ago we were invited to tea at The Ritz for the launch of the personalised My First Forever Friends nursery toy collection from Golden Bear and a chat with parenting expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith. Forever Friends was first launched in 1987 and I remember receiving the teddy bear design on a birthday card when I was younger. I’m really pleased to see that it’s still going strong and around for my children to enjoy. A timeless classic with a strong heritage and global appeal, Forever Friends continues to delight and captivate all those who are drawn into…

    Win 1 of 2 Limited Edition Philips Avent bottle sets

    Have you been bitten by Royal baby fever yet? I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your notice that the Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth any day. In preparation, Philips Avent took ‘Charles’ and ‘Camilla’ out around London to ensure they had everything for the Royal Baby. They went shopping in Mothercare and Hamleys, as well as stopping by the Lindo Wing to ensure everything was in order. These photos really made me smile.       Philips Avent have made their products in the UK since 1984, celebrating their 30th Anniversary last year. Avent founder, Edward Atkin, launched…

    My children love bath time and were pretty happy to receive the latest products from Munchkin which revolve round bathtime.

    Win a Nappy Change Kit from Munchkin

    Over the Summer holidays we travelled a fair bit around the country. The children don’t mind long car journeys and as soon as we say we’re going away they will pack their rucksacks with toys and snacks for the journey.  As part of my role as an ambassador for Lindam Munchkin I recently received a parcel of useful travel items including a Designer Nappy change Kit, Teether Babies toy and a brilliant Travel Booster Seat and I am excited to be able to offer the Designer Nappy change Kit from Munchkin to one of my readers today.

    Washing baby clothes and other memories

    This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #collectivebias #mums4tommys School holidays or not I seem to spend a huge amount of my time washing clothes. Fortunately, one of my favourite smells is clean washing. Certain smells trigger some memories. One of my earliest blog posts was about the amount of washing my son made. In his first few months he brought up a lot of his feed after each bottle so we had muslins everywhere. I was always washing baby clothes during those first few months of his life. My…

    Little Tikes Jelly Bean Racer

    As well as the Little Tikes 4-in-1 Trike Sports Edition we reviewed yesterday, Little Sis was also sent the brand new Little Tikes Jelly Bean Racer. It was easy to get out of its packaging and Little Sis was able to sit on it and move around straight away. When I got it out of the box I thought it might be a little young for her (she’s now 30 months). However she loves whizzing around the house on her Jelly Bean Racer, we have the perfect floors for it! It really does look like a Jelly Bean although we…
