Frugal Tips for the Home 1

Many people are entirely unaware of just how much money they squander on frivolous spending. The occasional takeaway or bar of chocolate might not seem like much, but it quickly adds up. In the current economic climate, it is especially important to find ways to cut corners and reduce unnecessary outgoings. One way in which … Read more

Your guide to family-friendly ovens

Smeg’s Symphony SY62MX8

Every family needs an oven; they are an absolute must. However, they aren’t exactly cheap, especially if you want one that offers easy-cleaning, top-notch cooking facilities and happens to look pretty good too. However, affordable, value-packed ovens do exist. In fact, there are many to pick from, perhaps too many which can lead to wrong … Read more

Flexibath Giveaway

Whitestep

From the moment you begin your journey into parenthood a whole new world of shopping opens its doors to you, it’s so hard to not go out and buy everything that you see. Everything is so cute, or is the most amazing colours and designs. Don’t even get me started on the clothes! But there was one product that I ALWAYS wanted for Little Bean and Beanie Boy that I never got around to buying and sadly now it is too late for them. The Flexibath is a genius idea for a baby bath tub as far as I am concerned. Babies NEED to be bathed, but they certainly don’t need to be bathed in the full size family bath, that would be like an adult taking a bath at the swimming pool all by themselves. Just think of all that wasted water, let alone the overwhelming space around you.

flexibath__alle_farver The only problem with baby baths is they take up so much flipping space! With Little Bean and Beanie Boy their bath resided on top of their wardrobe, not exactly a pretty sight but it saved us tripping over it all the time. Obviously someone else thought that baby baths were causing space issues so they came up with the Flexibath, a folding baby bath!!

Whitestep think that Flexibath is a fab product too and are going to give one of my lucky readers their very own Flexibath. Whitestep is a great website who have taken on the mission to provide parents with the latest, most innovative products for babies up to 3 years old. They trawl the world’s marketplace so that you don’t have to.

The Land of Sometimes Review and Competition

image

Every now and then I get something to review which I absolutely love and this is one of those times. I have mentioned previously that all our children love music and they all go to bed listening to it and so I am always happy for them to have something new to listen to. Last week The Land of Sometimes landed on my doormat and a whole new magical world has been opened up at bedtime.

The Land of Sometimes Review and Competition 3

WELCOME TO THE LAND OF SOMETIMES

Over the ocean, far away, there is a magical place called ‘The Land Of Sometimes’ where four seasons pass within one day, and everyone who lives there has a song…

Join Elise and Alfie, be daring enough to make a wish, and explore the magical ‘Land Of Sometimes’.

The Land of Sometimes is an audio storybook for children aged 2-99 which was released on CD on 6th February. As the story unfolds you are introduced to the characters by way of their own unique songs from Little Twink to The Frosty Fish, River Slouch Sling and more besides. The eccentric characters join you on the magical journey which is universally appealing. All genres of music are covered from reggae to disco, Irish folk, poetry and New Orleans jazz.

The Land of Sometimes is a perfect tool to open up your child’s imagination and make a refreshing change from the usual nursery rhymes. This is a CD which we can enjoy together in the car to make a long journey more relaxing or snuggled up at bedtime, my personal favourites are Dare Make a Wish and What Colour are YOUR days? Little Bean has been listening to it for less than a week and she is already singing along to many of the songs and talks of Elise and Alfie randomly throughout the day.

When the CD has finished the magic doesn’t have to end there, on the website there are images of all the characters, downloadable activities and a map of the Land of Sometimes to really bring the tale to life. If you want to purchase a copy of the CD yourself you can do that from the website too, I guarantee you will not regret your purchase!

Competition Time!!!

I like to look after my readers so now I have the opportunity for one of my readers to receive their very own copy of The Land of Sometimes and the competition could not be more simple.
