Reviews on my blog are all carefully chosen to ensure that they are the right fit for us as well as for you my readers. I enjoy writing these and I love being able to share great products and days’ out with you all.

You can feel assured that I won’t ever review something that doesn’t feel morally wrong, that isn’t ethical, that isn’t relevant to you guys and that just doesn’t feel right to me.

All of my reviews are open, honest and written from my point of view only. I am never swayed by a product, experience or payment.

Review | Eco-Friendly Coconut Bowls and Spoons

Posted on September 25, 2019November 20, 2024 by Emma Reed

*Gifted Items

As you’ll all probably know by now, my eco journey is ever-growing and there is rarely a week that goes by where I’m not trying out something new or researching products and looking for new ways to reduce my waste, to help the environment and to be more sustainable. It’s become a passion as well as a hobby! And as a blogger I am very lucky to be in a position to be able to hear about the latest products and to have the opportunity to try them out and to then, of course, let you lovely lot know about them. So, when Global 1st asked me to review their coconut bowls and spoons I jumped at the chance.

Review | Carters Steam Fair

Posted on September 7, 2019November 20, 2024 by Emma Reed

*Gifted Tokens

Carters Steam Fair comes to my town every year and for some reason, I always seemed to miss it so this year I wanted to change that, especially as the boys are now at an age to both enjoy it. If you haven’t heard of Carters Steam Fair it is a vintage funfair which has been running now for over 40 years. During this period they have lovingly restored traditional rides and attractions dating from the 1890s to the 1960s, bringing joy to countless people by touring around London and the South East. It is considered to be the most famous vintage fair in the world and this is not only because of the hard work and dedication the team have put into creating such a stunning collection of rides but also because it has appeared in TV and films such as The Theory of Everything, Call the Midwife and Paddington 2.

Review | New Elements Easyfit Reusable Nappies by Totsbots

Posted on July 8, 2019October 14, 2024 by Emma Reed

*Gifted Reusable Nappies

Reusable nappies have become a passion of mine (something you may have noticed!) Since making the swap in June last year I have gradually built up a stash big enough to wave goodbye to single-use nappies for good, I have talked about the ease of the switch and have tried my best to spread the word that reusable nappies are the way forward for our environment. However, the benefits of changing aren’t all about being eco-friendly. We have discovered that William is far more comfortable in reusables, that he never gets nappy rash and that we are saving ourselves a lot of money in long-run. If that isn’t enough to tempt you just yet, perhaps the designs will?! Have you SEEN today’s reusable nappies?

Review | Toy Story 4 Puzzles

Posted on July 1, 2019November 20, 2024 by Emma Reed

*Gifted Products

Unless you’ve been living under a rock just recently, you will be very aware that Toy Story 4 has hit the cinema’s and subsequently broken box office records. It’s been 25 years since the release of the very first film and as somebody who remembers the lead up to that film, I was just as excited as my child was when we heard that another was coming out. The loveable characters took all of our hearts and after the sad ending of Toy Story 3, who would have thought they would have been back with more to come? I certainly didn’t.

Joie Spin 360 Review

Posted on June 12, 2019October 7, 2024 by Emma Reed

When it came to making the swap from a newborn car seat to the next stage up I initially wasn’t sure what to go for. Since having my first child the law had changed to ensure that babies were rear-facing up until 15 months but with far more known about the impact of a crash and how a child’s body reacts in that instance there was far more evidence on the internet telling me that keeping them rear-facing up to 4 or 5 years was recommended. Now, having a first child who absolutely hated facing backwards I was in two minds over what to do with my second child but as we all know, they are all very different to one another and he quickly proved that he was happy rear-facing. So, after a bit of deliberation, I headed off to our local Mothercare to see what they could recommend for my child and car.

Review: What Wesley Wore

Posted on May 29, 2019October 14, 2024 by Emma Reed

*Gifted Item

We love books in our house. Jake makes us read up to 5 books at bedtime and prior to having children, I would read crime thriller after crime thriller (when I had the time!) And then, of course, I self-published my own book and still have children’s books I’d love to get published and other ideas in my head so when Sam from Owlet Press asked us to review a brand new children’s book I was very excited. Not only is he the founder of Owlet Press but he’s also the author of ‘What Wesley Wore’
