This day I love.......

The girls were very excited to be visiting the Baby Show at Kensington Olympia. They knew that we were going shopping for things for Thing 3 and for them this makes it more real that Thing 3 is coming. They each had their own ideas of what they wanted to buy, mainly toys but also clothes and baby blankets. I was keen to have a look at pushchairs and car seats for Thing 3 as these are the two main items we need.

There are plenty of deals and bargains to be had at the baby show, as well as talks and shows to attend. I didn't think the girls would want to sit and listen to the talks so instead we walked around and had a good look at everything on offer. The girls soon spotted the Stokke high chair and for the first time in my memory of attending a baby show, it was free for the girls to sit on. They took full advantage and thought it was wonderful, even taking a shining to the over sized cups.


We soon came across Tommee Tippee in the feeding area who had set up an Insta print station. Tommee Tippee had kindly invited us to attend the baby show and we enjoyed chatting to the team about upcoming launches. They also had some amazing show offers on their closer to nature essential starter kits. My husband and I took the opportunity to have a rare photo together


Which also meant the girls had theirs taken too. A lovely souvenir of the day and one to show Thing 3 when they arrive. I really love the photo of the girls.


We spent time talking to friends who we have made over the years and catching up on latest product developments. There are some amazing things coming next year from some fantastic brands and I hope to be able to share more with you.

After spending a few hours at the show and admiring several products it was time to leave, not before the girls spotted another giant high chair on the Annabel Karmel stand!


Thanks to Tommee Tippee for inviting us to attend we had a wonderful day!

For the past 5 years [perhaps 6] I have attended the Baby show.  I have visited every venue Birmingham, London NEC and Olympia.  I always get excited by each show, but for different reasons.  The past year or so it has been to catch up with my friends in the nursery industry and to see the latest developments and baby must haves.  This year I will be attending with my daughters and with 'Thing 3'  who I am excited and proud to talk about.

As part of my partnership with Tommee Tippee I shall of course be visiting their stand to have a look at their new Express and Go feeding system.  I breast fed both my girls and whilst I am still making up my mind with 'Thing 3' I want to go and have a look at the new range that was launched in August this year.  I know it would have made my life easier with the girls and perhaps it maybe something I look into for Thing 3.


As with any Baby Show there are a huge range of offers and discounts available.  I can remember buying our travel system from there in 2009 with over 60% off!  I am on the hunt for a new pushchair and car seat for Thing 3, as I currently do not have one, and am going to be looking at the show offers.

Tommee Tippee also have huge offers and discounts available

Perfect Prep machine both white and special edition black at a show price of £70 (normal RRP £120)
Digital video and sound monitor will be on sale at £100 (RRP £199.99) 
Digital Sound and Movement Monitor will be available at a show price of £65 (normal price £99.99)
Sangenic Tec Nappy Disposal System will also be available in a new colour range at a show price of £10 for the  (normal price £24.99) 

I will be heading there to grab myself a bargain.  I am also keen to visit the Instaprinta in the Feeding area which is there on Saturday and Sunday.  Post a picture with #ParentOn to Instagram and tag @tommeetippee_uk and they will be printed out for you.  Want a great way to remember your #Parenton moment!

If you are going on Sunday do let me know, it would be great to say hello!

The baby show has become one of my regular visits. I love to go and meet up with people who I don't normally see all year but we spend a lot of time talking on social media sites. It's great to catch up and hear about what the new products are going to be and how the plans to launch are coming along.


I was kindly invited by fisher price to see the launch of their new jumperoo. Both my girls loved their jumperoo and I was rather sad when I put it into the attic to store it. The new jumperoo has some rather interesting new features. Like previous jumperoo it is height adjustable, but now it also is length adjustable too. The jumperoo moves length ways too, which therefore encourage babies to take their first steps. Think of it as a mini walker only limited to around 4 steps forwards and backwards. The toys have also changed slightly and I must admit I miss the frog. It was clear though that the babies who were in the jumperoo were having a real good time and loved bouncing as much as walking.


I met up with some familiar faces too, but there also seemed to rather a few missing which was a shame. It was great to see Panasonic there for the first time who were showcasing their cameras and videos and their stand seemed to be very popular. Cosatto as per usual had one of the brightest and most welcoming stands and seemed very busy.

I suffered with diastasis recti with my youngest daughter and had a 5cm gap. This progressively got worse and I was told I would need surgery. Determined to avoid surgery I worked hard at Pilates and after 3 months my Dr was pleasantly surprised that I had managed to fix the gap and avoid surgery. I loved chatting with the ladies on the One Fit Mama stand as it made me realise I should have received better care to avoid this in the first place. Also to see how best too help ladies in a similar situation, realise that surgery isn't the only option.

The show felt a little smaller than previous years but it was still busy and there was still everything under one roof. The variety this year was much greater everything from cameras and videos to the lady trying to get me to adopt a cat and walking balloons. I still missed some of the regular faces but it was lovely to meet new ones. Perhaps next time I will even get to me Prof Robert Winston?


I was provided with a press ticket to the baby show and an invite to Fisher Price.  However these are my own words and opinions and I was not asked to write this post
