This day I love.......

This hot weather has caused no end of problems for Little Man.  He simply cannot get comfortable and does not understand why he feels as he does. I turned to Polarn O. Pyret.  Polarn O. Pyret have a child's perspective in mind when designing their clothes, and with an organic cotton range I knew this was what I needed to keep Little Man cool.

Polarn O. Pyret take harsh weather as a challenge and with the current heatwave I wanted to put their clothes to the test.  The vest Little Man has is light and soft to the touch, yet it has withstood many washes.


The colours are bright and bold, and the details are simply gorgeous.  A stitched 'P' on the chest and buttons to resemble a real shirt, Little Man looked incredibly grown up.


Little man did not get hot and bothered as he had in other vests, instead he kept cool.  He felt comfortable and had room to practise his favourite new trick of rolling over.


It is perhaps no surprise that Polarn O. Pyret are celebrating 40 years, with a range designed with children in mind and clothes built to last even the roughest of games.


Little man has been able to keep up his curiosity and explore the world around him.


I love that Little man felt comfortable in this heat and was able to do all the things he loves to do.  Thanks to Polarn O. Pyret we can enjoy the summer months in comfort.

In my latest Things for Thing 3 post I mentioned that we had been very kindly sent a SnüzPod.  In the post I also mentioned the reasons why I am so excited to have been sent one and cannot wait for Thing 3 to arrive.  I felt it would be a good idea to split my review posts of the SnüzPod into a few posts, with the first a first impressions and assembly post.  I will be making a video when Thing 3 arrives of our day to day to use of the SnüzPod to document how we get on on a day to day basis with the SnüzPod.


The SnüzPod arrives in one box with full assembly instructions.  If you follow the instructions it is really easy to put together and took no time at all to assemble.  I had planned to assemble it myself but my Dad wanted to put it together and I was more than happy for him to do so.

The SnüzPod has a shelf at the base, I am planning a trip to find some boxes to place on here as this will make handy storage for all baby related things, especially things you may need during the night.  The rocking action appears to be really smooth and both girls have put their dolls in and rocked them to sleep.  Finally the bassinet can easily be lifted and removed to be used away from the base.  I love that this also has a rocking feature and can easily be slotted back into the base when needed.  The base is also easily fold able and will fit underneath my bed for storage, should I not wish to use it.

The SnüzPod is made from Quality Beech wood low in VOCs and formaldehyde emission free.  Along with the SnüzPod we were also sent a Little Green sheep natural mattress which feels incredibly comfortable and I did look to see if they made them to fit my own bed.  In addition we also have the recommended mattress protector and the gorgeous SnüzPod bedding sets.  


The bedding is incredibly soft and feels really snugly, I cannot wait to wrap Thing 3 in them.


 Once Thing 3 arrives I will be attaching the SnüzPod to the side of the bed with the included straps.  Thanks to the adjustable height of the SnüzPod I have also got it set at the correct height ready to be attached.  All we are missing now is Thing 3.

I keep sitting in bed and looking over at the SnüzPod.  Peering in through the mesh window at the gorgeous design of the bedding and thinking to myself 'not long now'.  Not long until Thing 3 arrives and will be sleeping in the SnüzPod next to me in comfort.

All products mentioned have been sent for review, all words are my own personal opinion

Dear Cloud B

We met back at the end of March and I wanted to say Thank you.  You gave me a Twilight Buddies Bunny to review for my youngest and I never realised how much I needed it until tonight.  You see my youngest recently gave up her dummy and whilst the days are no longer a problem, the nights were getting worse.

Most nights she would settle OK, but more frequently she would wake in the night.  She would wake screaming and be very unsettled.  The screaming would last for up to 2 hours and nothing would settle her.  She was looking for that comfort she used to get from her dummy.

Her comfort she has now found in her Twilight Buddy.  Her constant buddy that is always by the side of her bed.  One she can find in the night and turn her room from darkness into magical.  Her comfort in the dark.  The stars on her ceiling acting as a welcome distraction from her thinking about sleep.  Watching them as she drifts into a peaceful sleep.  Her rabbit.  Soft and cuddly, giving her that comfort she longs for in the dark.  

Thank you Cloud B, you have given my daughter that comfort she so desperately needed.  You have transformed her room into a magical and peaceful place for her to sleep.  For that I am truly grateful.

Cloud B

I came across the Chicco Twist at the baby show.  I was instantly drawn to the Twist and wanted to know more.  The Chicco Twist is a relax baby chair suitable from 12 months to around 5 years.  I love the size of the Twist at 38 cm tall and 50 cm wide it is a great size for small children.  My 2 year old can pick up the Twist and move it to where she wants it and my 1 year old can sit in it comfortably without looking lost.

The colours of the Twist are bright and bold and great for children  The covers are removable making the Twist easy to keep clean.  The Twist adds a touch of vibrance and fun to any room.  What I love about the Twist, is its functionality.  It turns from armchair, to chaise longue, to sofa bed in a matter of seconds and what is more is that my daughter can do it herself.

My daughters eyes lit up the first time she saw her chair.

The MaByLand Comfort carrier comes in a choice of 3 colours, chocolate brown Midnight black and shimmering gold.  We were provided with chocolate brown to test as part of the focus group for MaByLand new range.

The comfort carrier carries babies in an ergonomic seated position.  It also provides the baby with back support and a head rest.    The child/baby is always carried facing the parent.  The carrier is suitable from 3months - 3 years [5Kg - 15Kg].  I found that my eldest daughter who is almost 3 did not want to sit in the carrier as she wanted to face the other way.  My youngest daughter was very happy to sit in the carrier up until around the time she could walk, when she just wants to walk everywhere.  Neither of which is down to the carrier more the Independence of my children.  I could still get both children into the carrier as there is adjustable leg room and easy front and side adjustments.

The comfort carrier has an adjustable padded waist belt and I also found the padded shoulder straps to be wider than previously used carriers which gave extra support and comfort.   When I first used the carrier I did find it uncomfortable to wear, but the more I wore it the more it moulded to my shape.  This meant I soon had an incredibly comfortable carrier that provided the perfect fit.  The carrier is very easy to adjust when it is on.

[Apologies for the snow pictures I have been meaning to write the review for some time]

comfort carrier support

I love the amount of padding on the carrier.  The head support for the child is also great as this is sometimes lacking in other carriers.  The storage pocket on the front is very useful and is lovely and deep.  It does fit a packet wipes and a nappy. One of the other great features of the carrier is that it comes with a blanket which easily clips onto the carrier and goes all the way round the child giving extra warmth and protection in the cold.

MaByLand comfort carrier

The MaByLand Comfort Carrier is priced at £84.99 which given the amount of padding and extra features make it a good purchase.  It did take the carrier a little time to mould to my shape in order to give the comfortable perfect fit, but it did get there and it was really comfortable to wear.  If you are looking for a good quality, well supported and comfortable carrier than I would recommend the MaByLand Comfort Carrier.
