This day I love.......

Slumbersac sleeping bags are made from 100% cotton and are extremely cuddly.  I love how cuddly baby is when he is in the Slumbersac, he feels very warm and cosy.  Slumbersac are available in different tog ratings, similar to a duvet, so you can select what is best for your use.

We have a travel Slumbersac which means it can be used with a harness.  There is a special pocket on the back of the Slumbersac for the buckle to slot through and as the zips can fasten both ways the harness can then be fed through.


Baby can then travel in the pushchair and keep warm in the Slumbersac.  The top part of the zip is covered so it does not irritate babies neck.  I also like that there is room near the neck so that it is not too tight, yet it is tight enough to stop baby slipping down inside the sleeping bag. 


Baby is incredibly comfortable in their Slumbersac.  It is perfect for travelling at night, as once you arrive at your destination baby can be put straight into their bed without disturbing them.  


There are lots of great safety features on the Slumbersac, including poppers under the arms to prevent baby slipping underneath.  Baby also maintains a constant temperature as they cannot kick off the sleeping bag in the night, and the danger of them getting covered by a blanket is removed.  They also remain warm when feeding, so do not get that shock when placing them back into bed.


It is also possible to change baby whilst still in the Slumbersac as the zips open both ways.  


Baby really loves their Slumbersac, and as we have a travel Slumbersac it is perfect for both at home and out and about too!

I am also pleased to offer a 10% discount on Slumbersac, enter this code on the website NK18.

We were sent the product for review, all words are my own opinion

I have spent this morning in the attic with my Mum looking through [and tidying] the baby items.  I had begun selling baby things but was pleased to see I still had a few bits a pieces left.  Sorting the attic had me and my Mum reminiscing about the different stages the girls went through and the stages we are about to go through again.

We discovered that I have no toys for the new baby, so this is something in the New Year I need to look at.  This means looking for a bouncy chair, and play mat as well to give baby tummy time.  A friend of mine very kindly gave me some newborn clothes and another friend has given me a Moses basket so I do at least have a start for when Thing 3 arrives.

Something that was clear, however, was the amount of products that I own [and have purchased] from the Gro company.  Gro have things from birth right up to my eldest daughter using the Gro clock.  Gro seem to have grown with my girls and as we start to look forward to Thing 3 will be starting the journey with them also.

A new product from Gro is the Gro-Snug.  My eldest daughter started as a newborn in a gro-bag and my youngest daughter began her journey in the Gro-swaddle.  Thing 3 will be starting theirs in the Gro-snug.  The Gro-snug is a combination of swaddling but with a Gro-bag.  It gives babies the feeling of security that swaddling does, but with the space of a Gro-bag allowing babies to lie in the natural frog leg position they enjoy.  There is also the options to have arms either in or out.  Which is great as my eldest always wanted her arms out and youngest arms in!



I also found my Gro-egg in the attic which was an item I purchased several years ago for my eldest daughter.  Neither girl needs this now but in the early days it was really useful to know the temperature of the nursery.  The colour changes also gave a quick clear indication if the room was too hot or too cold.

Once the nursery is decorated and the new floor has been installed I shall begin adding the finishing touches, including the gro-egg, into the nursery.  I cannot wait to show you the room once finished.

If you would like to win a Gro egg for a nursery I have a giveaway open until midnight GMT on the 8th December to win one.  Simply follow the widget below, where you can also find full terms and conditions.  Good Luck

Thing 3 is feeling very loved this week.  Items have started to arrive for Thing 3 and once Thing 3 has arrived we will be doing some more in depth reviews of some of them

#Weloveforest

Whilst not specifically for Thing 3 we had a wonderful package arrive from the Forestry Commission.  Within the package was a wonderful wooden toy.  Thing 3 will love this and it is currently the only toy Thing 3 has

Miffy milestone cards

Both my girls have baby books which I have recorded the milestones in.  Everything from their first smile to their first day at school.  I love the milestone cards as they record everything that is in my daughters books, but in a different way.  The images of Miffy are colourful and each one represent the card.  
When Thing 3 arrives I will be taking their picture with each of the cards and sharing the milestone on my Instagram feed.  I will then have a photo and the milestone card to place into Thing 3 memory box for when they are older.  This is going to make a wonderful keepsake and I cannot wait to share.

Maverick Books

Maverick books have just launched a new range of board books.  The girls already love the Hedgehugs stories and these two new board books are based on the Hedgehug stories.  The stories have been shortened and the illustrations changed slightly but this makes it perfect for younger readers and fro Thing 3.  

I love that Thing 3 is building up a book collection as reading is something we all love.  The Maverick Books are also gloss laminated so I know that if Thing 3 has sticky fingers the pages can be wiped clean.

SlumberSac

SlumberSac specialise in baby and toddler sleeping bags.  Sleeping bags replace the use of blankets and sheets.  My girls used to kick of blankets and wake up cold and sleeping bags were a great way to combat this.  The SlumberSac is in neutral colours, as we don't know if Thing 3 will be a boy or girl.  I have also selected a light weight tog, as it is easier to add additional clothes to Thing 3 should the room become cold, and this also means it will be useful for summer months.  I am looking forward to Thing 3 sleeping in their SlumberSac.

Snuggle Sac are great, the girls love them.  Whilst you may think they are only good for sleeping they, are also good for lots of other things too.  If you have never heard of Snuggle Sac they are a machine washable award winning sleeping bag for children.  They feature a side zip for ease of access and are also safe to use in the tumble dryer, although if you dry them inside out they do dry quite fast.  Snuggle Sac are 5.2 tog and are soft and fleecy on the outside making them lovely and cuddly.

1. Chilling

Snuggle Sac are so lovely and soft on the outside thanks to the fleece lining that they are perfect for just chilling on.  A comfy spot that you can take with you.

2. Hiding

The warmth and comfort of the snuggle sac mean that no matter who you are you love to snuggle underneath.  They make the perfect hiding place for your best friend

3. Sack racing

The girls love sack racing and the snuggle sac are so durable and well built that they can withstand the play that the girls have put them through.

4. A bed for your dolls

If you are not asleep in your Snuggle Sac you can tuck your babies [dolls and teddy] up for the night in them

5. For adults too

Snuggle Sac are big enough for adults too.  Thanks to the handy carry bag they can be taken with you to sleepovers at Grandma house and Grandma can try them out too, provided she doesn't get jumped on.

The girls were sent a Snuggle Sac in exchange for review, all words are my own personal opinion
