This day I love.......

Yesterday was an inset day and this meant I had all 3 children at home.  Although the sky was grey it was quite mild outside which meant the girls could go out and play in the garden.  The slight wind also made it perfect for using our Gazillion Bubbles giant bubble mill.  

Gazillion Bubbles are not like ordinary bubbles, the special formula makes giant bubbles!  We have the Gazillion Bubbles wand already and so we know how much fun can be had with Gazillion Bubbles.  Each set comes with a bottle of bubble solution and so all we needed to do was to put batteries in our Gazillion Bubbles giant bubble mill and we were ready to go.


Little man came outside to play too, and was just as giddy as his sisters watching the giant bubbles.  The girls ran around the garden trying to catch the bubbles and little man tried his hardest to make himself taller so he could reach them too.



The bubbles were huge!  Some as big as the girls head and there were lots of shrieks as they ran around chasing them.  Sometimes the bubbles would join together to form even bigger bubbles.


Little Man was fascinated by all the bubbles floating past


My youngest decided to fill the garden with bubbles and ran off with the Gazillion Bubbles giant bubble mill.  We had bubbles everywhere.


Even J started joining in the bubble fun!


A lot of fun was had by everyone and it was a shame to come back inside, but it was time for lunch.  I cannot wait for the weather to get even warmer so we can make the most of our giant bubble mill.


It was a wonderful start to what will be our half term.

We are looking forward to taking our first holiday as a family and although we are not going far it will be our first holiday as a 5.  Travelling with a 3 month old brings about certain challenges.  We are lucky that there is laundry facilities on site so we can manage clothing, but there are a few extra things we need to pack.

First aid kit

A good first aid kit is a must when travelling.  My youngest daughter is incredibly clumsy and trips over various invisible items on a regular basis, which means we always have to have a first aid kit with us.  

Our first aid kit is from The little health company and contains

1 x Basic advice for first aid leaflet
2 x instant ice packs
1 x hydrogel burn dressing
2 x medium wound dressings
1 x large wound dressing
1 x Triangular Bandage
12 x Safety Pins
1  x Eye Dressing
30 x Washproof Plasters
12 x Antiseptic Wipes
1 x Roll Microporous Tape 
6 x Pairs non latex Gloves
2 x Finger Dressings
1 x CPR Face Shield
1 x Foil Blanket 
1 x Clothing scissors
1 x Conforming Bandage


The great thing about our health kit is that it contains instant ice packs, which if you have little ones you use quite a lot of.  It also is stored in a bright orange case so it is easy to locate among any other items, either in the car or in a cupboard at home.


Swim suit

Although we are staying in the UK, there is a swimming pool on site and we are looking forward to letting Little man have his first experience of swimming.  He is a big water baby already and adores his baths so this should be a great experience.  The swim suit we have is made of neoprene, so will help to keep him warm.  It also features an inbuilt nappy so any mess is contained and can be washed away afterwards.  Although I may still use a nappy with him just to be over cautious.


Steriliser

As we are not sure if there is a microwave in our holiday home, or what kind of catering facilities if any we have decided to take our Milton Combi steriliser.  The Milton Combi can be either cold water sterilisation or microwave.  This means that even if there is no catering facilities in our holiday home we can still sterilise all feeding equipment.

The steriliser is easy to use in cold water mode, cold water is filled to the 5L line and 1 steriliser tablet is placed in the solution.  Items are sterilised in 15 minutes and stay sterile for 24hours.  During this time frame items can be removed and added as needed.  There is no need to rinse as items can be used straight from the steriliser.  



This method makes it perfect for travel as we will have access to a cold water tap and we will know that all feeding items can be sterilised quickly and easily.  The lid has a great seal making spilling highly unlikely and the strong carry handle means it can also be transported.

Shnggle and Infacare

Little man has just got into a routine, and knows that after his bath it is bed time.  We want to keep this whilst we are away and so will be taking his shnuggle bath with us.  Little man has been able to sit unsupported in the shnuggle bath from 10 weeks old, which makes it really easy to bath him in.  I think I would struggle bathing him over a sink, and the depth of the shnuggle also helps soothe his tummy before bed.  It is a great size so easy for us to transport.



Little man loves to have lots of bubbles in his bath.  He loves to curl his toes into the bubbles as if trying to grip them.  


The girls never had bubble baths, as we could not bath my eldest because of her skin.  As I would bath both girls together this meant my youngest daughter also missed out.  We never really experimented with different bath bubbles even the gentle ones, as we did not want to risk an outbreak so bathing Little man is a whole new experience and one which we can discover new brands.

We discovered InfaCare baby bubbles and Little man loves them.  InfaCare makes lots and lots of bubbles, perfect for his little toes to squeeze.  A little squirt also goes a long way meaning a bottle lasts a long time.  Infacare is ph balanced and Ultra mild so it is perfect for Little man and his delicate baby skin.

Little man has taken to cat napping which means he sleeps for 5 minute periods at a time.  He is therefore in a constant state of tiredness.  Saturday was a rather unproductive day as a result but I guess after the excitement of the past two days it is to be expected.


After a nice lie in on Sunday we decided to go on a walk looking for bluebells.  The girls were incredibly excited and we did not have to look too far to find some.


We played in the woods for a short time, and tried our best to escape the many midges that seemed to be circling around us.  We headed for the field as the girls had brought some bubbles with them.


We had left little man at home in the hope he would get a little bit of rest.  The first thing the girls wanted to do when they came home was give him a cuddle.  He gave them a big smile, I think they had all missed each other!


This day I love Bluebells and bubbles

The sun made a very rare appearance which gave us the perfect opportunity to get outside and play.  My youngest wanted to play with bubbles and we decided to get the Gazillion 33-in-1 Incredibubble Wand out to play with. 


My youngest had seen the Gazillion 33-in-1 Incredibubble Wand advertised on tv, so she was incredibly happy to have one for herself to play with.  She began by counting all the bubble wands and then asked me how to 'blow' bubbles.


I smiled at her and told her to simply run around with the wand and to wave it around.  As she did so 100s of bubbles appeared and she was giggling with pure delight



It was such a joy to watch her running and playing with the bubbles.  She then made a giant bubble!  This took her completely by surprise 


My youngest loved running around creating bubbles and then chasing the bubbles.  She would spin round in circles giggling away as she became surrounded by bubbles.  Loving every second of creating the bubbles and finding joy in popping them.  It wasn't long before more bubble solutions was poured into the tray for the fun to start all over again


We were sent the Gazillion 33-in-1 Incredibubble Wand for review, all words are my own opinion.  If you would like to have as much fun as we did the Gazillion 33-in-1 Incredibubble Wand is on offer at the moment in Argos, where you can buy it as a 2 pack with the Gazillion Incredibubble Wand.

This week it seems we are woken in the mornings by the cold and frost, but by lunch time the sun makes a welcome appearance.  My youngest loves that we get to spend a few hours outside together before picking up her sister from school.  Her favourite thing to do at the moment is blow bubbles, and I adore watching her face as she watches them float away.  


I cannot do very much at the moment, in terms of activity, but blowing bubbles in the garden is something we can do together.  It also means we can get outside for some fresh air. 


The dogs also seemed to enjoy their time in the sun with us, and spotty dog refused to come inside


This day I love Lazy days and Bubble play

We love bubbles.  

The girls love bubbles and the dogs love bubbles.  IN fact J loves bubbles so much we have gone through at least 10 bubble machines.

We were incredibly excited to be sent some Foameez to review.  Foameez are bubbles that never end!  Imagine the fun that both the girls and the dogs could have


When Foameez works it is fantastic, there are lots of giggles and the dogs love chasing the trail of never ending bubbles. (Spot the dogs nose in the photos)  There are however a few things to note to make Foameez a success


The first thing to note is to only place the straw into the head around 1cm, not to the insertion line.  Make sure the material for the tongue is wet with the bubble mixture else you will not get any bubbles.  To do this simply turn the bottle upside down.  The final tip is to make sure the tongue material is tight, if there are any gaps you get no bubbles.

If you need to tighten the material, remove the top part of the head lift the plastic ring, adjust the material and replace the plastic ring and head.  It can be tricky to do this if you have been using Foameez as it gets slippy so it is best to wait.

Foameez is a lot of fun and has kept the girls and the dogs entertained.

All words are my own opinion
