    Bloopies underwater friends review

    May 7, 2018 - By 

    I have two water babies and am always on the lookout for toys they can play with in the bath. They still love bath time just as much as they did when they were babies. It’s also a great way to unwind after a busy day or weekend. This weekend we’ve been visiting my mum and I took something special for the children to play with. Have you heard of Bloopies? They are the ultimate underwater friends! The dolls squirt water out of their mouth and snorkel when you press their tummy, and they will blow bubbles too! Bloopies underwater friends…

    Bath crayons and wet floors {bath time with kids]

    October 18, 2016 - By 

    I’ve mentioned a few times about our lovely new kitchen. It’s dragged on a little but we’ve had a final push this weekend, painted the ceiling and walls and tiled the floor. We’ve managed to squeeze in about 90% of everything and it’s lovely. It’s easy to get used to loose cupboard doors and cluttered surfaces but I’m really enjoying my new kitchen. The only thing I had to compromise on was the kitchen sink. I really wanted a Belfast sink but my husband wanted a wooden worktop and for some reason it couldn’t be cut around the sink. At…

    Caring bubbles for sensitive skin

    September 2, 2011 - By 

    Edward has suffered from dry skin since birth so we were really excited to try out the new products from E45 which cater for sensitive skin. The range consists of E45 Junior Foaming Bath Milk, E45 Junior Moisturising Lotion and E45 Junior Hand and Body Wash. We’ve been using the products for the last couple of weeks and have really enjoyed them. Fortunately Edward loves bathtime and his bathroom is full of various products we’ve used to try and ease his dry skin. Many baby products contain SLS which really irritates his skin so we were excited to learn that…

    Guest post from Show and Tell

    July 19, 2011 - By 

    Hello all!  I’m Betty B and I’m delighted to be doing this guest post on this fantastic blog, The Gingerbread House.  When I opted in to the Britmums blog swap/guest post, I thought it would be easy.  I’ve been blogging since the start of this year and never seemed to suffer from writer’s block…until now! That’s just great, I offer up myself like a sacrificial lamb to another blogger’s readers and now I can’t even think of anything decent to tell them!  Fortunately, I have an active 19 month old daughter who is willing to spice up my daily life,…

    Seaborne Baby Sponge

    January 23, 2011 - By 

    Tippitoes has introduced an exciting addition to its bathroom range, the natural Seaborne Baby Sponge which is 100% natural and extracted from the sea bed. Thanks to its natural porous properties, it’s perfect for gently exfoliating and cleansing baby’s skin. We were sent a Seaborne Baby Sponge to try and I was surprised to find that it came in a plastic tub – I’ve never bought a sponge in a container before! I rinsed the sponge before use as instructed and we used it at bath time this evening. Edward wasn’t too sure what to make of the sponge as…

    Bath time

    November 21, 2010 - By 

    Edward still *just* fits in his baby bath but I don’t think we’ll be using it for much longer. I couldn’t resist this little video that daddy took of Edward enjoying himself this evening. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj-qCouA7Rc&fs=1&hl=en_US] We will be returning the Flip Ultra tomorrow. We’ve had a lot of fun using it and got some great videos to keep. We’ll be posting our thoughts on it tomorrow.

    Bringing back bath time

    October 20, 2010 - By 

    I love this picture that I took tonight. We decided it was about time we re-introduced a regular bath time to our night-time routine. Over the last few weeks Edwards’ eczema has improved so much it’s difficult to believe I used to cry over his poor cracked skin. For a while we decided not to bath him as the water dried his skin out. There are still a few dry patches but it’s nothing like it was. Fortunately he still fits his baby bath but now he loves to sit upright – so different from a few weeks ago!

    Cuddledry giraffe towel

    August 10, 2010 - By 

    Edward loves all things giraffe (or perhaps I love giraffes and just like to buy him things!). Anyway, he has a couple of Sophie teethers which he really enjoys chewing and a giraffe soft toy. So when I was googling ‘baby’ and ‘giraffe’ I was very happy to see that cuddledry have brought out a handy towel to dry your little one safely. I had to buy it! We use it every bath time and as you can see my little one is happy to snuggle in it after his bath. The idea behind the apron style means you can…
