Bambini and Me - Bamboo swaddle and Washcloths review.


Sometimes you come across a brand that you would consider having another baby just to get your hands on some of the beautiful products. My youngest is now 2 and a Half and we still treat him as  bit of a baby. We were asked by Bambini and me if we would like to feature some of there products on my little blog and I found my self saying yes because I loved the prints so much. When the package came inside was a large swaddle blanket and little Son Sons eyes lit up as if it was christmas and he wanted to take it everywhere with him. 




I thought I would feature some of there other items as I fell in love with all the colours pastels have always been my favourites and these soft tones just look fabulous, lots of my friends are having babies very soon and I have my eye on some of these items, especially the grey bunny romper. We were send the yellow Bamboo swaddle blanket and a pack of Bamboo washcloths. The washcloths  were rather beautiful and the most smoothest I have ever touched. The box its self comes as a pack of 6 and in various pastel colours. They are perfect for everyone from newborns to Mummy and Daddies. The wash clothes come in a beautifully presented box which would make them perfect for a gift or present at a baby shower. They retail at £15 which personally I think its good value as they are made to a high standard. 
The swaddle blanket we were send went down a treat as pictured belie. He loves it so much he now can't sleep with out it, he likes to wrap him self up in it, its almost as if he things he is a baby. The material is super soft Bamboo. My Son Son usually uses Muslin Square as a comfort blanket but this is much more fun. Not only is it so large it is bright yellow in the most beautiful duck print. This Bamboo Swaddle would also be perfect for nursing mothers, I for one was never comfortable breastfeeding in public and this would have been so handy to avoid any naughty nip slips. Another way to use it as something for your baby to lie on over a cold changing mat. Especially a newborn, my little ones would always cry when I placed them on the cold changing matt, this would have been suer handy. The Bamboo swaddle comes in its own presented box as pictured above and comes in a variety of pastel colours. It retails at £15 which I think is an amazing price for the quality of the product. 



We personally have fallen in love with the Bamboo swaddle, I say we because Son Son loves to carry it around buy I love the colour so much.

GiftAlien gift box - Peppa Pig Movie night in Review


My children are massive Peppa pig fans its something that is on in our house a lot. We were recently approached to try out a box for children to have a movie night in. The lovely people at GiftAlien sent my little Peppa pig a little box full of all the goodies for a No adults allowed Peppa Pig Movie Night. The box has been on the table for a while and has sparked some interest, Ive found Ami under the table trying to prise the box open before now. Thankfully for them the time came to see what was in the green box.


Little shouts of joy came out as two little people saw that the box contained lots of Peppa Pig Goodies. The box contained enough for two children the list contained:


  • Peppa Pig DVD, with 10 short stories (lasting over 50 minutes)
  • Peppa Pig sticker set, 6 sheets of stickers (12 sheets in the 4 child box)
  • Peppa Pig poster art painting kits (one for each child)
  • Peppa Pig paper drinking cups (one for each child)
  • Kiddlicious, strawberry fruit wriggles (one for each child)
  • Organix oath bars (one for each child)
  • Robinsons Hydro Sprint water bottles (one for each child)
  • 4 Peppa Pig balloons
  • GiftAlien movie ticket stubs (one for each child)


  • I brought the outside picnic bench and placed it in front of the TV so they could sit and watch Peppa. I also gave them there tickets and made them queue up as if they were at the cinema, although Ami actually thought she was going to the cinema. They were most excited about the painting and the balloons. They sat for a good 30 mins whilst I put Peppa on in the background and happily painted. I was actually rather impressed with the results. When they finished they moved onto the snacks and drinks, which all contained healthy snacks unlike when we go to the cinema and its all popcorn and chocolate.

    Ami said "This is the best time ever" I think mainly because they are not allowed to paint in the front room and it made it that little bit extra special that they did. Personally I thought the idea was really cute and enjoyed seeing them so excited about what was in the box. Was defiantly a win with these two at ages 2 and 3. Obviously we didn't do the painting at night time and I didn't leave them on there own as they are only young (and the fact that they destroyed the carpet with there paint before now hence the paint in the kitchen only rule was evoked).


    We loved this GiftAlien Box perfect for friend coming over, siblings to enjoy or even a special date with your child. It brings something a bit different and fun and would make a special birthday present for a child. This box mentioned about retails at £19.99 and includes free delivery which I personally think is a total bargain. I liked the extra features such as the admit one entry ticket.

    Was defiantly a win at our house, GiftAlien also do other NO parents allowed Movie night in boxes and they range from Frozen, Minions and Disney Princesses. Looking forward to trying out another one some day we loved it that much.

    A massive Apologies to my readers

    If you have been regular reader of my little blog you may have noticed the lack of posts I have been writing. I am ever so sorry I let my little blog go and have found it hard to want to sit and write again.  Overtime I have started writing I have been sat there with a blank screen and suddenly whatever on the TV is a lot more appealing. Also life has been busy I have had many nights at work/ general life being busy . Also wanting to just sit and watch TV with the hubby. So Sorry guys.


    A lot has happened since I last wrote we have been on holiday to France and camping three times! Three yes the last time was a bit mental Ami was up at 4:30 after an unsettled night I was almost ready to drive home. Another big thing I have learned to drive!! The world is now my oyster and I can go where I want. Its very strange I suddenly have a lot more time on my hands. 


    I plan to write a few more posts this week but we will see today is only Monday and I haven't  wore anything for a few weeks I am a bit rusty. To be honest I am doing anything but my revalidation one of the many treats you get to complete when you are a nurse. I don't think many people realise that it costs to be a nurse not only that you also have the privilege of proving you have completed the right amount of hours etc. 


    So here is us for now, life is busy its the summer and I am all for being outside when ever it is sunny. We have been exploring beaches and parks its been nice to get to places we have not been able to reach on our own.
