    My 3 year old and I had a lovely day in London today. We were invited to the film premiere of Moomins on the Riviera, a hand-drawn animation feature for all ages, at the nft on the Southbank.

    Win a £25 voucher to spend at elephant in my handbag

    May 13, 2015 - By 

    As you know when I’m not blogging, or crafting with my children, I’m sewing. I always have a few projects on the go and my current project is the Union Flag quilt I’m making for my daughter. I’ve been trying to add some handmade touches to her room so I’m also making a patchwork cover for her vintage Lloyd Loom nursing chair. It was added to her room when we moved 2 years ago but I wanted to match the cover to her pink colour scheme. I found some gorgeous fabrics from elephant in my handbag, an online shop which…

    Win a family ticket to Nickelodeon Land to meet Poppy Cat

    May 7, 2015 - By 

    Over the Bank Holiday weekend we visited Nickelodeon Land at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. We stayed in the wonderful Big Blue Hotel which gave us easy and early access to the Pleasure Beach. The children had amazing built in bunk beds with their own tv screens so were pretty happy. One of the 10 rollercoasters went past our window so they couldn’t wait to get in to the park the next day. Nickelodeon Land takes up a large part of the Pleasure Beach and we loved it. We headed straight to the Nickelodeon stage to find out when our favourite Nick Jr…

    Win an In the Night Garden Glowing Bedtime Makka Pakka

    April 26, 2015 - By 

    As a mum of two rambunctious kiddies I’m a big fan of CBeebies, the Bedtime Hour and In The Night Garden. It signals to my children that they need to calm down and get ready for bedtime stories and find their favourite cuddlies. Big Brother has had a lovely Good Night Friends Igglepiggle since we attended an In The Night Garden Daytime Sleepover back in 2011. We were excited to hear about a new range of In The Night Garden soft toys from Golden Bear Toys, including a Glowing Bedtime Makka Pakka, Upsy Daisy Talking Soft Toy and Talking Igglepiggle…

    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.

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…
