Being a big gamer I was excited to be fortunate enough to be able to secure a PS4 for launch date in the UK.  One of the things I really enjoy with a new console is the unboxing, opening of console and add on PS4 peripherals, and then taking my time to get the set up perfect ready for the first switch on.

I cannot believe it's been 10 years since 'How to Catch a Star' was first published. Written by Oliver Jeffers this book tells us about a young boys attempt to catch a star. We were so lucky to be able to get this special 10th anniversary edition before it's official release on 27th March 2014.

I have always been a fan of Carte Blanche Tatty Teddy. Ever since John
 and I first got together and he bought me my first bear. He bought me a bear holding a pillow and wearing a nightcap with the words goodnight on it. The pillow had a poem saying 

"I GO TO BED AT NIGHT, 

   AND IMAGINE THAT YOU`RE THERE

     I HOPE YOU DREAM OF ME TONIGHT, 

  AND KNOW HOW MUCH I CARE".

I would guess that if John could change one thing about me he would definitely change my feet. Ever since I can remember I have always had cold feet. It doesn't matter if I have been wearing socks, slippers or shoes they are still icy cold. When I was given the chance to review Heat Holders I instantly thought there would be no way they could make my blocks of ice into toastie toes. We were sent two pairs so John and I decided to give them a try.

Funky Giraffe Playsuit and Bandana Bibs Review

Funky Giraffe Playsuit and Bandana Bibs Review

Recently I stumbled upon a website called Funky Giraffe Bibs. I was searching for dribble bibs for little J who is teething at the moment and a good quality dribble bib is hard to find so I thought I would look online.

There is a HUGE selection of bibs to choose from Bandana Bibs, Cotton Bibs, XL Bibs and XXL Bibs. After browsing through the amazing selection I noticed they also stocked other baby items. I fell in love with the playsuits available they are so cute.

Little J was sent a gorgeous funky giraffe playsuit and a selection of bibs to try. We received a red rocket bib, an aeroplane bib and my favourite the racing car. The colours are lovely, really bold.

I turned the bibs over and they had a layer of fleece on the back to help soak up the dribble which will protect your child's clothes and chest from getting wet.

When I saw the playsuit it was gorgeous. The soft feel and bold colours made it even better than I expected.

I couldn't wait to try it on little J and when I did I have to admit he looked adorable in it :)

Little J was having a drool day as usual so I put the dribble bib on straight away. While he was playing I noticed the bib was getting wet as the yellow had changed colour in parts.

So it was time for a change of bib but after taking it off I noticed I didn't really need too. His playsuit underneath was dry.

The fleece backing had protected him. I was really impressed and little J was happy.

Why choose a Funky Giraffe Bandana Bib?

Our Funky Giraffe Bandana bibs (also know as dribble bibs) are the perfect accessory for the fashion savvy baby and toddler. Fronts are made from 100% cotton using all natural fibres they feel soft to the touch while adding a unique panache to any outfit, with a fleece backing to keep dribble from soaking through.

We have a range of styles to suit all tastes and each one has been designed in house with you in mind, listening to our customer’s feedback and wishes we have brought more bandanna bibs to our store so you and your baby can benefit from the Funky Giraffe quality.

Each bib has double poppers so you can adjust the fit to suit your little one, this ensures baby hardly notices the bib is there and so keeps it on for longer

Funky Giraffe offer free UK shipping and amazing discounts. The more you buy the move you save.

Nom Nom Kids Reusable Pouch Review

Nom Nom Kids Reusable Pouch Review

Disclosure - We were sent the products below for the purpose of this review. All thoughts and opinions are our own. 

Little J loves his fruit and yoghurts but when you're out and about it can be a pain if he doesn't finish one and wants the rest later. I usually throw half pots away because they cant be stored in my changing bag. This means more expense because I end up buying another later on. When little J was given the chance to try out Nom Nom Kids reusable pouches I was excited and eager to try them out.

When they arrived I knew instantly little J would love them. They are so colourful with animals design. They looked just the right size too for little hands :)

 

I decided to fill little J's with yoghurt and I am glad to say its really easy. There is a zip lock seal along the side which I opened and spooned in the yoghurt. I closed the zip seal and gave it to little J. You can either give it to your child to use direct or you could squeeze into a bowl or on a spoon.

He instantly put it to his mouth and began to suck. The yoghurt flowed easily and there was no mess at all.

 When it got towards the end of the yoghurt I did help him squeeze some towards the top. Once he had finished I washed it out, it looked brand new again.

On the back is a place for you to write your child's name, date, what's inside and also tick boxes which would be perfect if in nursery or school.

The pouches have been to the park with us this week and have been squashed and squeezed but bounce back to like new.

Each Nom Nom Kids Resuable Pouch is...

Easy to fill and clean

Dishwasher Safe

Freezer Safe

BPA, phthalate and PVC free

To heat just stand in hot water

You can purchase Nom Nom Kids reusable pouches by visiting Amazon

Pouches are currently priced at £2.95 each or 3 for £6.95

Crawlerz Romper Review

Crawlerz Romper Review

No comments

Disclosure -  I was sent this product for the purpose of this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Even though little J is 11 months old he hasn't really made much attempt in trying to crawl. We have tried everything to encourage him but it seems as soon as he starts to get onto his knees he slips back down to the lying position. I visited the Crawlerz Website and I really loved the idea so when I was given the chance to review a Crawlerz romper suit I jumped at the chance.

As soon as little J's Crawlerz Romper arrived I was really impressed with the quality and I instantly thought this is going to keep little J warm while he's rolling around on our wooden floor. The paw prints are so cute too.

When I put the Crawlerz Romper on little J it was a lovely fit and he looked so cute in it. He rolled over to his usual lying on the tummy position and lifted to his knees. The Anti Slip grip definitely helped with little J's ability to stay up on his knees for slightly longer than usual. I was really shocked just how much grip it gave him.

Although the Crawlerz romper is designed to help with development it is also just a lovely playsuit.

 Little J seemed to like his new suit and the confidence it gave him. He definitely was more mobile.

A few days later I tried it on him again and I could honestly see the difference in his confidence compared to his other suits.

Dribble Stop Top Review

Dribble Stop Top Review

No comments

Disclosure -  I was sent this product for free for the purpose of this review but the thoughts and opinions above are my own. *** Dribble Stop Tops have since ceased trading. 

Little J has just cut his fifth tooth so he spends his days in a pool of drool. I am constantly changing his vests, clothes and dribble bibs. It's just an endless cycle of fresh clean clothes, wet clothes, wet chest, upset little J, washing then back to clean clothes again. When I found the Dribble Stop Top website I thought it sounded too good to be true. So when I was given the chance for little J to review a dribble stop top I was really excited but nervous at the same time because it's such a great idea and I really wanted it to work.

When it arrived I couldn't wait to try it on little J. It came in clear packaging and it had a leaflet explaining how the dribble stop top works.

The first thing I noticed was the quality of the top. It was really well made with nice detail around the arms and the legs. There is a layer of special waterproof material underneath which helps protect the chest but I couldn't see this when it was on him, very discreet.

 So we were ready to try. I put it on little J and decided I would give it a hour first before I checked him because normally after a hour he is ready for a change of clothes.

Once it was on I was really impressed with the fit. The neckline is really high and has two buttons either side. Sometimes little J's vests give him the 'off the shoulder' look because they go quite baggy and I knew straight away this wouldn't happen with the dribble stop top. 

Also it fits perfectly around the bum so no nappy bulging out the sides.

After 1 hour of playing and as you can see from the photo below lots of drooling it was time to check him.

I was so happy when little J was completely dry. His chest was warm instead of the usual cold and sticky. I didn't need to change little J's vest at all so it gave me a day off from washing. Little J was much happier too.

How It Works

A Pocket made of Specialised Waterproof Material with Skin-Like Breathability – is hidden inside the top which completely covers and protects the Dribble Zone (chest area).

The Unique Extra High Neckline – Ensures maximum coverage.

 Our Discreet Dribble Stop Protection – Acts as a barrier & helps stop dribble soaking through to baby’s delicate skin.

Soft Cotton Jersey – Is the only material in contact with baby’s skin ensuring they remain comfortable as well as, safe & dry.

For Parents

No More Constant Clothing Changes = A lighter changing bag

Fewer Changes = Less washing & less ironing

Tumble Dryable = Convenience

Safe Protection = Peace of mind for those nap times & nursery days

No more disturbed sleeps (due to cold wet chests) = more sleep for you

I would definitely recommend dribble stop tops for all little dribblers out there. I have already stocked up on some more because right now these are a must have.

Dribble Stop Tops are available in sizes Sizes 0-3ms, 3-6m, 6-12m, 12-18m, 18-24m.

Available in packs of 2 or 1 & 1 stripe (pink or blue).

You can purchase your Dribble Stop Tops at Amazon
