Tommee Tippee have launched a new product which aims to make the life of a nappy changing mum easier and more hygienic. I was excited to trial the new product which recently landed on my door mat. With an average of 5,000 nappy changes to do between birth and potty training, ensuring germs and smells are safely locked away is a must for parents. At home we have a nappy bin which is great but what do you do when you’re out and about? Tommee tippee have launched the new Sangenic Wrap & Go which is designed to provide a…

We had some friends over last week for a playdate. It was fun seeing three little people in the sandpit and great for Edward to have some friends to play with. They are so much younger than Edward that it reminded me just how quickly he’s growing up. It’s hard to believe he 15 months already, it doesn’t seem that long since we brought him home from the hospital. After a three day stay in hospital I was itching to get out and about with him but as we kept having to wait around for the community midwife visits it…

Only a couple of sleeps until Cybermummy 11 so I thought I would take the opportunity to write down my thoughts before the event. Cybermummy countdown I’m really looking forward to it. My husband will be spending the day with Edward so I don’t have to worry about them both, they will be having heaps of fun without me. I keep looking at the schedule and trying to decide what talks to go to. I’m really looking forward to hearing Sarah Brown speak, she’s my twitter crush. I was lucky to win a copy of her book and can’t wait…

My lovely Cybermummy sponsor NurseryValue.com asked if I would like to try one of their best-selling strollers. Now you all know how much I love testing new strollers so I was excited to get my hands on a Petite Star Zia in black. The first thing that impressed me was how easy it was to unpack and put together. We’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and it gets a big thumbs up from us. We’ve taken it everywhere, on public transport, to the local shops and in the boot for longer trips. My son is very happy…

I’ve been on the look out for a suitable tin for my button stash. I inherited a great collection of buttons from my grandmother, the buttons survived but not her old tin. Since then they’ve been stored in various boxes and even an old sweetie jar. Along the way I’ve picked up some lovely tins: But none have been large enough, until I found this old Cadbury’s Chocolate Biscuit tin in a charity shop. I think it really complements my vintage button stash and looks great alongside all my vintage thread boxes, patterns and ric rac. I’m linking up…

We have a collection of nappy balms in different tubes and jars. We’re really fortunate that Edward doesn’t often suffer from nappy rash, only when he has a new tooth coming through or if he has an upset tummy. We were sent a new Nappy Balm from Baby Sensory to try. It’s not just a nappy balm but as it’s Hypoallergenic, free from essential oils and SLS, it can also be used during pregnancy and for the whole family. Ingredients include: Sunflower seed oil moisturises the skin and provides a protective barrier that resists infection Castor oil cleans and softens…

We were asked if we would like to try teething bling. It’s a great name which hooked me immediately to find out more. A little package duly arrived which I excitedly opened and found contained the loveliest, if unusual, necklace which was beautifully packaged. Teething bling has been designed to help babies who love to grab and chew whilst they are teething. As Edward only has 6 teeth this has been a useful aid. It is produced as a necklace or bangle and means you don’t have to stop wearing jewellery whilst your child is teething. When I gave it…
