I have been having a bit of a tough time of late and feeling a little low but I have to say that looking forward over the next few weeks I have a lot to be excited about.

Next week it is my birthday and then it will be October. October is going to be a great month I am starting a Baby Massage Course on the morning of 5th October with A Mama’s Touch and then in the afternoon I am off to The Baby and Toddler Show at Bluewater.

The Baby and Toddler Show on 5-7 October at Glow, Bluewater Shopping Centre, Kent, promises to feature everything a mother or mother-to-be will need in order to give her little one a great start in life.

I am so excited that such a huge baby event is coming to Kent and I cannot wait to get there and have a look around.

All the big names will be there including Bugaboo, iCandy, Britax, Mamas & Papas, Maxi-Cosi, Quinny, BabyStyle, Bloom and many more…

200+ top brands will be bringing products for parents to test, try, compare and buy. You will also be able to meet knowledgeable experts and have hands-on demos. You can get expert advice on feeding, sleeping, nutrition, finance and more.

One visit to Baby & Toddler Show enables you to get hands on with an unrivalled range of products, compare and contrast, not just on price but based on getting up close and personal with the products and quizzing the experts who actually make them.

It can be expensive to buy everything you need as new parents so its important to get the right products for you – there’s no better place to do your research than in person at the show before buying at the best possible prices

This is the first event of it’s kind at Bluewater and I think that it will be very exciting to be there. It is also so easy to be there as Bluewater has an abundance of free parking and family friendly cafes and restaurants. It is a bump and baby friendly place to be.

And you can be there as I have five pairs of tickets to giveaway to readers of this blog.

All you have to do to win a pair of tickets for The Baby and Toddler Show at Bluewater is leave a comment answering this question:

In the meantime why not keep up to date with all the show news on Twitter and on Facebook.

Good Luck!
