This day I love.......

If you have ever travelled abroad with children, in particular young children, you will appreciate the challenge that is juggling children and their luggage.  They start off wanting to do it themselves then by the time you check in they have had enough.  They become tired and fed up and just want to get on the plane to go on holiday.  

Flyte have come up with a really clever solution.


The cases featured in the video are the mini-flyte and midi-flyte.  The mini has a 21 litre capacity and the midi 25litre.  Both are cabin approved.  The mini is for 2-4 year olds and the midi 4 - 8 year old.  Both have hard external cases to protect the items inside and both transform into a scooter.


It is this that is such a great feature.  It becomes easy to entertain the kids.  They can scoot around the airport and right up to the gate before having to board.  The foot plate then folds away neatly into the case.  Alternatively you can extend the scooter handles only and push or pull the case with ease.  The cases are light enough that the girls can both pick them up.  


The cases are great for day trips were the girls might want to take a few items with them, or even for trips to the park for a picnic


 The footplates are really strong and sturdy giving the girls plenty of stability.  



There is plenty of room for growth for both girls.  The handle simply slides down into place.  Inside the cases there is plenty of room for all your belongings that you need.


This is such a great idea from flyte and we have had lots of adults interested in a case for them.  The Maxi is due to be launched later in the year for older children

Thanks to flyte for providing the ideals in theis review  All words are my own opinion.

After a stay in hospital to monitor babies movements and a realisation that Thing 3 could be here in 2 weeks, I decided that it was time to back my hospital bag.

The first time I packed my hospital bag I had no idea what to pack, this is my third time and I have packed simply the essentials.  Although using the same bag as I did with both girls, it is no where near as full.

I have come to the conclusion that anything extra I need can be brought in the next day by my husband and therefore I really only need to pack for 1 day and 1 night.  I also now know that the hospital also provide a lot of things, such as nappies, cotton wool and maternity pads so not to worry too much about these.

When Thing 3 will choose to arrive is a little bit of an unknown.  I have a scan at 36 weeks which could give me an induction date, or it could be decided to let nature take its own path.  I have been told it is highly unlikely they will let me go over my due date.  With all this I have decided to pack my hospital bag just to be ready

Doc McStuffins Pet Vet bag accompanies my youngest daughter everywhere.  It comes with us on the school run, shopping and even when we go running.  My youngest says she never knows when she might need to make someone better.

She regularly performs check ups on her teddies and if I sit still long enough you can guarantee she will check me too.  The Doc McStuffins Pet Vet bag is a firm favourite with the girls.  You can read more about the bag in our review here

If you have your very own Vet in the making you can enter to win a Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Bag here.  Simply watch the video and then answer the question on the widget.  Full terms and conditions are also on the widget.  Ends Midnight GMT on 4th October 2015.

A few weeks ago we where set a #vlogchallenge to see what was inside your bag.  I struggled a little as since I no longer need a changing bag for the girls, I rarely use a bag.  I can fit what I need in my pockets.  When we were sent a Pink Lining bag to review for my daughter, she instantly took a shine to it and began packing it over and over.  I thought it would be interesting to take a look inside.


Her Pink lining rucksack goes everywhere with her.  She packs it herself.  


It goes to nursery [soon to be school] and even on day trips.


The straps are adjustable and the surface is wipe clean.  As you would expect from Pink Lining it is of a high quality and the design and detailing is unique and stunning.


As we know all things that go to school need to be labelled, luckily there is even space to write her name.


My eldest loves her Pink Lining bag, and so do I!


My eldest was sent a Pink Lining bag to review.  These are our honest thoughts and opinions.

The girls love to have a picnic, even if its just to go and have lunch in our garden. I love taking them out too and have wanted a lovely bag to pack lunch in for some time. If I worked in an office I would use this bag here too.

The Belo and Me little bags are made from jute, which is a 100% bio degradable and recyclable fibre. I had rather a difficult time choosing a colour and a design as they were all cute but eventually settled upon the little bird design in blue.

What I love about the Belo and Me bag, other than the environmentally friendly factor, is the amount of uses it has. I can use it to carry lunch in for me and the girls for our picnics, I could use it as an alternative gift or party bag and I can use it to carry my shopping in.

I recently used the Belo and Me bag on our holiday, as it made the perfect bag to carry all those items needed on the car journey.  It was perfect for lunch in the French Riviera

It was great to have something light weight to carry our breakfast down to the beach with.  I fitted 4 mugs and 4 waffles inside with ease.

It is lovely and light weight and folds compact, which means I can keep it with me. No more plastic bags when shopping or for carrying lunch in, the Belo and Me bag will be used instead.  I figure if something is good enough for the Romans, then it is good enough for me too!

I met with Smallest ideas who introduced me to their Nappy Bag Hook.  The device is rather clever, the plastic green nappy hook clips onto the side of the changing mat.  The hooks at the end of the clip hold open the bag allowing you to easily place the nappy inside.  This has many advantages, the first from a safety aspect, the baby cannot accidentally grab the plastic bag whilst you are changing them and second it allows you to keep your hands free to change a nappy and easily put the dirty nappy into the bag.

I was really keen to test the Nappy Bag hook.  The size of the hook is that of a business card, so very small and compact.  The only problem was, when I got it home to test it, my youngest began potty training.  I have therefore struggled for some time as to what to write, as I have not been able to test properly.  I can see its advantages and I can prove that it works, as I have clipped it to a changing mat.  Beyond this I have not been able to test the product.  

I was really looking forward to giving Nappy Bag Hook a try and really use it for its intended purpose.  I have however clipped the hook onto my kitchen cabinet door and used it to hold open a bag which I filled with glass.  A glass cup broke on the floor and rather than struggling to keep the bag open and pour the shattered remains into the bag I used the hook to pour the glass into the bag, so it does have other uses beyond nappy.  I can really see how this would be beneficial to those with children still in nappies.
