OUR HOMEMADE DATE NIGHT

Games in our household are very important . We absoulately love getting the games out or the cards and having a morning playing stick or bust. The girls love it and it also gets them off the iPads for more than 5 minutes, which is a bonus.

MOCC ONS | REVIEW

If you know our little munchkin Nila, then you will know how much she loves her toes.she has a thing about her feet, and has them in her mouth at every opportunity!

WORKING FROM HOME ESSENTIALS

If you are a regular reader then you will know I have two jobs, well more than that if you count cooking, cleaning, running around after the children, and being an all round maid , as I call it in our house :).

CAPTURING MEMORIES WITH CANVASCHAMP

i don’t know about you but my phone memory is completely full of photos. Having three children, I want to capture as much as I possibly can , and I do this with photographs . Their first taste of a strawberry, cuddles with their sister or smiles for mummy in the bath , I automatically get my phone or camera and snap away, But tend to forget about them afterwards.

WHAT’S ON OUR WATCH LIST FOR JUNE

If you have followed me for a while then you will know before Nila came along , the girls and I regularly had movie nights and would sit down almost every night after dinner to watch another episode of the latest season that we had chosen for that month.Those days, unfortunately have become far and few between. It’s always the case isn’t it when a new little addition comes along. Before you know it the TV has been invaded by numerous episodes of Peppa pig and Ben and holly!.

CHICCO MYAMAKI CARRIER

If you have followed me since my  pregnancy with Nila then you will know how much I wanted to baby wear this time round . I didn’t baby wear with the other two kiddies and I made a point of wanting to experience baby wearing with this little munchkin.

We used the iswaddle sling when Nila was first born , and absolutely loved it , but now she is a little bigger we decided to invest in something that feels a little sturdier and more durable, so we have  gone for a baby carrier.

We have been using the Myamaki Carrier from Chicco for a few months now and I love it .It is suitable from birth and It is so easy to use and I can put it on by myself ,and put Nila in it , which is an added bonus as I know some carriers are a little tricky.

We have taken the Myamaki to Birmingham with us , On day trips and even when we have done the quick food shop :)  . My favourite is the school run. It takes 5 minutes to get to the school on foot, but because we have the buggy , we have to go the long way round as there are a lot of steps and tricky paths to get down, which I can’t get down with the buggy,so the school run actually takes 25 minutes!.

By using the carrier in the mornings it takes 5 minutes , which definitely adds extra Brownie points :).

There are so many features to this Carrier, these are just a few :

• It is multi- positional : parent facing from 0m+, hip position 6m+ and also back position 6m+
• It has been acknowledged as a ‘hi healthy’ product by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute 
• The shoulder straps are padded and adjustable
• The padded waist and shoulder straps ensure the right distribution of your baby’s weight across your back, which is a life saver, so no backaches for us :)
• Comes with a newborn insert , which is super soft and padded 

We have really enjoyed testing out the Myamaki carrier and if you are on the look out for a carrier or want to treat yourself an invest in a new one , then I would definitely recommend this one. Or if your unsure of which carrier to buy then the lovely Jolene at Mum Knows Best has a great post on How to find the best baby carrier for you, it is definitely worth a read :)

- We were sent the Chico Myamaki Carrier in exchange for an honest review 

FAMILY DAY OUT IN BLACKPOOL

We had been trying to plan a day in Blackpool for the whole half term and the weather has not been on our side Unfortunately . When I checked the weekends forecast it was promising so we decided to take a day trip to Blackpool on Saturday. I work on Sundays so Saturday was our last chance before back to school .
