***** Competition has now closed and the winner has been contacted ***** Protecting the family from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays can be a stressful, thankless and military operation. I always smother my son is sun cream, put him in a hat and extend the buggy shade when we’re out to ensure he doesn’t suffer any ill effects of the sun. You need to trust your sun protection and have fun in the sun which you can do with ultrasun, the ultimate in sun protection. Providing total peace of mind, these gentle and unique, skin-caring, high protection…

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…

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…

An essential product as a new parent is a changing bag that fits everything you need to make life out and about that bit easier. I’ve gone through a few changing bags since Edward came along and they’ve all offered something a bit different. However, a new changing bag has been introduced which carries all your essentials and your baby too! 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…

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 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…

Annabel Karmel, the UK’s top parenting author on feeding babies and children, has just launched Annabel Karmel’s Organic Fresh Baby Purées. Edward loves trying new foods so we were sent Scrumptious Butternut Squash, Carrot and Salmon and My First Vegetable and Beef Casserole to try. They come in little pots so you can be sure the portion size is just right and the pots can be heated in the microwave. The pots can also be re-used when you make your own foods. The purees are meant for 6 months onwards and as Edward has a healthy toddler appetite I added…

The three flavours are: Pear Apple and Grape Blackcurrant and Apple juice Peter Rabbit Organics juices contain a blend of organic juice and water with no added sugar, preservatives or artificial ingredients. I have my very own bouncing bunny, just like Peter Rabbit, who was keen to try each juice. He usually drinks milk or water and is only given juice once a week as a treat…
