QuinnyCasters News #8

Posted on November 27, 2010August 29, 2017 by jenny

I failed miserably at the first QuinnyCasters assignment. My reporting of the opening and assembly of the Quinny Zapp Xtra failed to impress the judges and I didn’t win a prize. So I bought the Quinny footmuff from ebay which I love! It can be used on the Quinny and the Maxi-Cosi car seat so…

Little fingers

Posted on November 26, 2010December 10, 2014 by jenny

We were recently sent a BabyDan magnetic drawer/cupboard lock to review. I was really happy to try this as Edward is increasingly moving around and it won’t be long before we have to have a serious think about locks on cupboards and stair gates. The magnetic drawer/cupboard lock was simple to fit and can be…

Flip Ultra HD video review

Posted on November 22, 2010 by jenny

Today I returned the Flip Ultra we were sent to review and I thought I would take the opportunity to blog what we thought of it. I really enjoyed using the Flip Ultra as it was so easy to use by me, my husband, and extended family. We were surprised by the quality of the…

Toast and swimming

Posted on November 19, 2010 by jenny

Edward enjoying his breakfast toast – he turned his nose up at his usual porridge with banana![youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMyrg54hkhE&fs=1&hl=en_US] We went swimming today which was great. I was supposed to dunk Edward right under the water twice but I was only brave enough to do it once! I’m not sure he’s completely happy with the dunking aspect…

We're still loving the Flip

Posted on November 16, 2010 by jenny

My youngest niece (aged 6) spotted the Flip in my bag and wanted to record her favourite cousin, so take a look at her efforts… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3N9E2EM5iw&fs=1&hl=en_US] My sulky teenage (14 years old) niece also took a video but it was mainly of herself! Both loved using the Flip Ultra as it so easy to use….

Italian cooking magic

Posted on November 7, 2010April 22, 2016 by jenny

Pesto is a little bit of Italian cooking magic that Sacla have very close to their hearts. Pesto is perfect with pasta but can also be added to meat, fish and vegetables. Apparently a combination of freshly picked basil and Grana Padano cheese is the secret behind every recipe  and all the sauces are made…

Feeling the love

Posted on November 5, 2010October 27, 2024 by jenny

Today my little blog was featured on the Stokke Lovers blog and Facebook page all due to our love of our Tripp Trapp. I was so happy I took a screen shot: I was also lucky enough to be featured on the Miffy UK Facebook page for our recent video review of the lovely Miffy…
