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.

There is always someone in every family with whom everyone struggles to buy a gift for.  I know who it is in ours.  With that in mind I have had my thinking hat on recently, about what to buy them, and one of the ideas I came up with is a a way to display memories.

This may sound a little random but I love personalised gifts and it is often that we have many memories stored away in boxes or just away until we get around to doing something with them.  These memories can take the shape of anything from a ticket to a photo.

Clipline Displays

I really love the look of clipline or clothesline displays at the moment.  I like the way you can tailor what each item is without been too specific on size.  Clipline boxes are something I am looking at for Thing 3 bedroom.  I am planning on using it for scan photos, hospital tag and first hat/shoes


Alternatively there are clipline/clothes line style photo frames.  I think this is a great way of creating a bespoke gift for someone.  You could have it display tickets from a first date, or a recent event.  Mix and match photos in there and the great thing is you can use photos of differing sizes.


Photo Frames

Photo Frames are a great way to display memories as often we have them all stored on our phones or on memory cards.  It can be a great gift and one with a real personalised touch.  There are also frames to suit every taste from the more traditional to really modern ideas.


Display cases

Display cases offer a great range of versatility to them.  You can choose to fill all sections or leave some blank.  You can often fill them with more 3D items such as a cork from a first bottle of champagne and combine it with photos and other memorabilia.  



Each of these items can be tailored to suit an individuals taste and therefore create a truly bespoke gift.

October is fast approaching and for me this brings about great excitement.  Not only does October see my blog turn 3, it also plays host to my Birthday and to my first ever marathon.  October certainly is a busy month.  Family have begun asking what I would like for my birthday as a present and I have a few ideas.

I would really love a food processor, a high tec one as I think it would really help on my healthy lifestyle journey but other than this the gifts I love are the personalised ones.  I love it when the girls give me presents that they have made themselves or photo presents.  

I was recently asked to try a new site Caseapp and try their creative products.  Case app allows you to make your own custom iPhone case.  You first select if you wish to make a skin or a case.  I decided upon a skin.  After this select your phone or tablet you are making the skin or case for.  There is a wide range of phones available, mainly apple phones but there are some Android.  

Your design can be as personalised as much as you like.  From adding photos, to text or even making collages. 


A Caseapp skin or case would make a perfect gift.  

To celebrate my blogs birthday I am giving a way one Caseapp skin or case to one This day I love reader.  Simply enter via the widget below.  Giveaway ends at midnight GMT on 10th October 2015 and is open to UK residents only.  Good luck!

One of the items in my goody bag from Britmums Live, was a phone case for an iPhone 5.  I really liked the feel of the case, it felt very hard wearing but yet was slim and still practical.  The only problem for me is that I don't own an iPhone.  Well its not really a problem I love my phone, just I could not use the case.

I checked out the website of the company who made the case, Speck.  I was really impressed with what I could see and contacted them to see if they would send me a case to review.  I picked a FitFolio case for iPad in Love birds Teal.  I love all the different designs and styles and had quite a tough choice choosing.  What is great about Speck products is that they all come with a 1 year warranty and delivery, for me  anyway, was very quick.

I picked the Fitfolio for a few reasons:

1. I really loved the design.  The pattern really spoke to me, I simply loved it.  The teal colour is also one of my favourites it was just right

2. I loved that the case not only protected the back of the iPad with its form fit cradle but also the screen was protected too when not in use.  The soft micro suede interior cushions and protects the screen and thanks to the snap shut closure the lid also stays closed.  Integrated magnetics in the cover also activate the sleep/Wake functions

3. When closed all ports are still accessible.  Which is great as when charging the iPad is still protected.

4. Like the case in my Britmums live bag, this case also is slim and lightweight.  I hardly notice the case is there, almost like a second skin to the iPad.  Yet I know how well protected it is.  You can feel the form fit cradle holding the iPad in place securely and the durable padded finish giving that extra piece of reassurance.

5. There are 4 viewing angles, so no matter what I want to do with the iPad, play games, write, read, watch videos and if I am standing or sitting I can find a viewing angle to suit me.

I am very happy with my FitFolio.  I know my iPad is well protected and the case looks stylish too.  As far as I can tell it adds no extra weight to the iPad and its super slim.  Amazing protection.

Speck also have a great range for other smart phones and tablets.  One of my particular favourites is the Smart flex for Samsung S4.  Its a protective case and wallet all in one!
