This month our review is all about the girl. Little Miss E has been super spoilt with some really lovely things. First, we were sent a lovely personalised baby book from Penwizard. The website was super easy to use. I simply uploaded my favourite photo of Little Miss E and here she is on the front page! Below which I added a personal message. Mine says "To my beautiful baby girl, with love from Mummy." Each pagespread contains a lovely message on one side and, on the opposite side, a picture of a teddy with Little Miss' name in there somewhere. I think this would ...
Review: Mr Men, My Complete Collection
We were very lucky to have recently been sent the complete collection of Mr Men books for review. I have very fond memories of these as a child and W is already showing a great love for them too. They really are timeless. The collection contains 47 Mr Men books, all numbered on the spine so that you can easily locate your favourites as required. This also provides a great opportunity for some counting practice with the toddler. The only trouble is deciding on whose favourite we read each night. Below are mine, Mr B's and W's favourites so far. Bet you can't guess whose is ...
Product Review: Samsung Safeview SEW-3037W Video Baby Monitor
Over the last month here at Casa B we have been putting the Samsung Safeview video baby monitor through its paces. The timing could not have been better as W has not long been out of his cot and sleeping in his 'big boy bed' which did lead to several late night escapes for freedom and we were getting a little weary of repeatedly walking him back to his room. In view of this there are several features on this monitor which I really do love: The 3.5" LCD screen which, during the lunchtime sleep and early evening, provides a great crisp image of his bed and the camera can be ...
Product Review: This month we love…
This month we have been putting a few different products to the test. Here is what we thought... First we were sent these lovely, non-toxic, cleaning products from Method. As my friends and family will already know I am a bit of a clean-freak and get stupidly excited about stuff like this. The first thing I loved about these though was the simple clean packaging. They look really quite stylish and even better, the packaging is all 100% recycled. My absolute favourite thing though was the fragrance of each product. They all smell delicious. We were sent lavender handwash, ylang ylang ...
Review: Little Casa Clothing for Children
At just three weeks old Little Miss E has been lucky enough to receive a vast amount of beautiful children's clothing from friends and family and already has a wardrobe larger than her Mother's. She was also sent this beautiful baby Peter Rabbit Dungaree and T-shirt set from Little Casa. Made from 100% cotton it is so cute and simple and would make a perfect gift for any new baby boy or girl and retailing at £29 it is reasonably priced. I know some Mums may be put off by the white material but never fear, this outfit even survived an exploding nappy incident and came up ...
Review: Fisher Price Little People Fun Sounds Farm
We were recently asked to take part in a new Fisher-Price Little People ... Big Discoveries campaign. This campaign encourages and celebrates the discoveries and experiences that spark imagination and learning in our little ones, something extremely close to my heart. As part of the campaign we were delighted to receive the Fisher-Price Little People Fun Sounds Farm to review. Before revealing this to W I first of all decided to take him to our local city farm to see some of the animals in context. So yesterday Mr B, W, Little Miss E and I all headed out in the sunshine for a bit of ...
Product Review: Bubble Guppies Toys Review
W has been a very lucky little lad this last month. He was recently sent a lovely selection of Fisher Price toys from their 'Bubble Guppies' range. The Bubble Guppies were not something I had been aware of but have since learnt that they have a children's TV show on Nick Junior. Being Fisher price though I was pretty sure that they would be of good quality and that we would be happy to try them out. I was not wrong. We were very excited when the following selection arrived: The Bubble Guppies 'Fintastic Guitar' was a huge hit and without doubt his favourite toy. It plays a range ...
The Perfect Personal Fathers Day Gift: Your Image 2 Canvas Review
With Fathers Day fast approaching I am sure some of you are still scratching your heads and perhaps looking around for inspiration. For once, I am organised! W and I have made Daddy a simple memory box and, with the help of the lovely folk at Your Image 2 Canvas we have also made two lovely, personalised canvas prints. The first was a photo taken just before bedtime a month or so ago and as soon as I saw it I knew I needed to do something a bit special with it. Your Image 2 Canvas have created this beautiful 12 x 12 inch square canvas which would retail for just £19.99. For this ...
Product Review: Miffy Wooden Puzzle
We were very lucky this week to be sent a 10 piece Miffy wooden puzzle for review. I have such fond memories of Miffy books as a child and we have recently started to read W 'Miffy and the new baby' in preparation for the arrival of baby number two in July. He was so delighted when we opened up the package and recognised Miffy and her Mummy straight away. It is strange, there is something so charming about wooden toys for children. Perhaps just the fact that you know they will last forever, but with this one it seemed more than that. It may be the slightly retro bright colours ...
My New Favourite Boots: The Gershwin Boot from UGG Australia
I have long been a fan of UGG boots and have owned several pairs of both classic and classic tall boots in various colours. When I was asked if I would like to review a pair for myself or a pair for the boy I jumped at the chance... for myself... Bad Mummy! (I reasoned that he would grow out of his SO quickly it would hardly be worth it, ahem.) When I had a little browse around the website I was amazed at the range of boots they had on offer. As I said I am very familiar with their classic style but they do so many other types as well. You can see for yourself here. It took ...
