Witley Sleeping bag from OLPRO
With my dad being a biker, he goes on rallies all the time and is forever getting his camping equipment out to get ready for the events. Thomas loves to help him get everything organised, and have a play in his sleeping bag at the same time, and so when we had the chance to receive the Witley sleeping bag from OLPRO, I knew Thomas would be happy. He loves the idea of camping and always asks if we can go and sleep in the great outdoors. I have explained that Charlie is still a little young and that we will go camping when they are both a little older and can…

Children’s Clothing from Debenhams
As a parent of 2 young boys, we go through tons of clothing. After messy play, crafts, baking, gluing, outdoor play, you can imagine just how much mess a child can make so we are forever throwing clothes away or trying to remove stains which just felt like a waste. On the other hand though, I thought that buying cheap clothing would mean that we would end up having to go and spend more to replace them. As the saying goes ‘buy cheap, buy twice‘ because cheap clothing usually has rubbish stitching, goes out of shape and always of bad quality. We instead go for good quality clothing that is…

Bissell Vac & Steam
When I was revealed as the Official Facebook Reviewer and the person who would be lucky enough to review the Bissell Vac & Steam, I was so happy and after trying it out I decided to post my review on here too even though this was not a requirement. I was in fact giving my opinions on the Vac & Steam for the purposes of it’s launch on the television channel Ideal World and some of my thoughts are being read out live on air at 8pm tonight (Sky 644, 651, 668 & 671; Freeview 22, 36 & 41, Freesat 812 & 813, Virgin 747) Upon receiving the product, I…

First Shoes from Clarks
I always believe that young children should wear soft soled shoes until they are 2 years old. That way, their feet can grow properly and they can learn to walk comfortably without having to wear a hard sole. Now Charlie is 2 year old I couldn’t wait to get him his first pair of proper shoes and the First Shoes Collection from Clarks has such a big range that I knew we would find some that we loved. I love going to the Clarks store as they always treat children right and make sure they are comfortable before going through the motions of measuring feet. Since Charlie hates strangers,…

Panache Sports Bra
Last month I wrote about Panache and their A/W13 Sports Bra which you can read here. I couldn’t wait to receive it and try the bra out to see if it worked as well as they say. Well now I have had it for a good few weeks and have managed to try it out quite a few times and I though I would now give an update as to how I am getting on with it. First of all though, a bit of background about the sports bra. The Panache Sports Bra says it will ‘banish the bounce’ as it reduces breast bouncing by an amazing 83%. This makes it…

International Baby Loss Awareness Day 2013
I know that I show have written this yesterday as that was the official International Baby Loss Awareness Day, but I just couldn’t bring myself to writing this until now. As you all know, I suffered a miscarriage in April this year. It is, as many other women has gone through the same, such a hard thing to go through and I will never really get over it. The thought of having a baby growing inside you and then, as I am already a parent, sensing that something is not quite right and just ‘knowing’ that the pregnancy wasn’t going to end well. It’s an awful thing to go through. I…

Chuggington Stack Track by TOMY
When our next set of toys from TOMY turned up, I knew the boys were going to be happy. A whole box of Chuggington train tracks for them to get stuck in to and play with, how could no little boy not like that. The Chuggington toy range is based on the hit cartoon series which follows the goings on at a busy train track with all the chatty trains for company. Thomas loves it and you will regularly catch him singing along to… Chuggington… chugga chugga chugga… …

Adventures With a Buffalo and a Bee
On the 1st of October we were invited to go and visit the Buffalo and the Bee. Now I know what you’re thinking, a bit of a weird combination or animal/insects but no, we went to see Bugaboo. Bugaboo are one of the most sought after prams on the market and only the whisper of the word makes pram-aholics go weak at the knees. So when they invited us to their event and we found out that they were coming to Leeds, I couldn’t say yes fast enough. Getting to see these prams up close and personal would be fantastic. I have loved Bugaboo prams from since I found out…

My Perfect Birthday Meal at The Handmade Burger Company
When Simon asked where I wanted to go for my birthday, I knew almost immediately that I wanted to try the The Handmade Burger Company in the Trinity Centre. We had seen it previously on a shopping trip and I’d joked to Simon at how he’d be too fussy to go there. But he agreed to give it a try too and so taking to have a nosey on their website, I had a look at the range of burgers they did. I noticed that they had some social media pages and popped along to their Twitter @HandmadeBurger to, well first of all see what others had been saying about them,…
