Sometimes things happen in your life
That you know are just meant to be
When Baby Tilda was born
A young girl
Local to me
Asked me to review a nappy cake on my blog
A product from her fledgling business
We stayed in touch
And after Tilda died
We started to work together on charity events
And Ami and I became friends
Good friends
My children adore her
We all do
My husband gets on well with her boyfriend
My best friend thinks she is great
I feel very lucky that we have Ami in our lives
And I hope that our friendship and working relationship
Will continue to grow
She is someone I can depend on
I hope that she will be able to say the same about me
It is exciting to think that I will be around
To see Ami have a Beebies Baby of her own
For the moment though
My babies are happy to model and test for Ami and her store
They are happy to be the recipient of all her kisses and cuddles
Meeting Ami was meant to happen
And I am proud to be an ambassador for her store
A one stop shop for families
From pregnancy to preschool
To mark the beginning of my partnership with Beebies
Ami has asked me to share with you some of my favourite products
Available through her online store
The store voted Best Online Retailer in this year’s
I have decided to take you on a journey
Through Beebies Baby Store
From pregnancy to preschool
Pregnancy
Raspberry Bloom Mum and Baby Support Pillow
Getting comfortable when pregnant is not always easy especially as you get bigger. Comfort after pregnancy can also be hard to find particularly if you are breastfeeding. Bea is a big baby but still new so very floppy, a cushion like this would be perfect to help us find comfortable positions for nursing. The pillow could also be used to support baby in an upright position after a feed and as she learns to sit. It could also be used or tummy time activities. We have some By Carla products that we are really pleased with, a gorgeous blanket and changing mat. Tilda had a raspberry bloom sleeping bag so the design of this pillow reminds me of her.
Water Baby Citrus Care
I have drank Water Baby through my last three pregnancies. I am rubbish at remembering to take pills so this is an easy way to ensure I am getting all the extra nutrients I need including folic acid which is so important for baby in early pregnancy. Water Baby tastes great and is a refreshing drink whether you are pregnant or not.
Raspberry Maternity and Nursing Top
This top has been on my Beebies wishlist since I first knew about the store. I love the colour, the shape and the style of this maternity and nursing top. It is a great all season and all occasion top being easily accessorised and dressed up or down. Beebies sells lots of bargain maternity and nursing wear, so if you are pregnant or have a new baby it is definitely worth having a look.
Newborn
PoddlePod
Anyone who reads my blog will know that we adore the PoddlePod, aside from on a person it is definitely Bea’s favourite place to be. A cosy little nest for napping in, a secure and snug place to rest, a supportive slightly raised surface for tummy time. I think a PoddlePod makes the perfect present for a new baby, giving Mummy’s arms a rest while keeping baby safe, secure, supported and snug.
Shnuggle Bath
The Shnuggle Bath is fairly new so Bea is the first of our babies to have one. It is a genius product. The bath supports baby in a sitting position, keeps the water warmer for longer and allows all the family to get involved with bathtime. The bath is light and easy to clean. The perfect baby bath.
Koo-di Fluffy Blanket
We are huge fans of Koo-di. Esther and William each had one of these blankets and the matching super soft suit. Bea has been given a suit from Koo-di and when the winter comes I will definitely be buying one of these blankets for Bea. They make great pram blankets or receiving blankets, super soft playmat to protect baby from a chilly or dirty floor and they also look great in photo shoots!
Baby
Cosatto Giggle Oaker
I shout loud and proud about my love for Cosatto and especially our beautiful Ooba Kimono. However, if I were to have a pram for all seasons then this would be my autumn choice. The Cosatto Giggle in Oaker. I love the pattern and the colours and the practicality of the Giggle. A great travel system, looks beautiful and is easy to use. Another great product from Cosatto. Check out their fun car seats at Beebies too!
Fisher Price Tree Party Bouncer
I love this bouncer from Fisher Price. It is pretty in pink and perfect for Baby Bea. We have had Fisher Price bouncers before and they have been well used and loved. Bouncy chairs are great for babies to sit in and watch the world go by. David and I have spent many a dinner time with one foot bouncing a baby in a bouncy chair. Babies can also be bounced to sleep when not enjoying the toys provided with this seat that is perfect for rest and for play.
Dot and Co Raspberry Reversible Trousers
I love these Dot and Co trousers. Esther and William each had a pair when they were crawling and once the knees were a little dirty or they spilled some yoghurt it was so quick and simple to make a change. In raspberry and navy these trousers are perfect for busy babies on the move.
Toddler
Plush Wheely Bug HedgeHog
I don’t quite know what it is about this ride on but I love it! The Wheely Bug Plush has been shortlisted for this year’s Slow Toy Awards and we have been testing it out. It is a quality ride on, great for physical play for young toddlers but with the addition of a plush character cover the Wheely Bug also becomes a companion, a friend. This would be a great gift for a first birthday or Christmas, a toy providing physical and imaginative play. The panda cover is lovely but there is something special about the Hedgehog especially with autumn coming.
Happy Hopperz
Happy Hoppers are made for children but I am certain secretly meant for all the family. Esther and William love their Hopperz but the grown ups have just as much fun on them. These are great for riding on, bouncing on, indoors and out. They are perfect for developing physical strength and balance and gross motor skills. The characters are fun and colourful meaning that they are soon considered pets or friends. Great for imaginative play.
CuddleDry Snuggle Monkey
Esther and William have worked through the stages of CuddleDry towels and one of the advantages of being very small for their age means that they can still wrap up warm after their bath in a super soft CuddleDry character towel. We love these cheeky monkeys and there are some fabulous reindeer for Christmas too!
Pre School
Kid Craft City Explorers Train Set and Table
I am trying to find a way to make this fit into our playroom which already looks like a Kidcraft / Beebies showroom. We really do not need any more train track, engines or accessories but this is quite fabulous. An interesting track, great for storytelling, lots of potential for extended rail play. William would LOVE it!
3D Feel and Find
This sensory activity can be used in so many ways. It is great for learning about size, shape and colour. Can be used as an independent activity or can be used to create treasure hunts and games. Feel and Find is a great resource for developing speaking and listening skills.
Personalised Super Hero Costume
Esther and William were each given one of these beautiful personalised costumes by Beebies Baby Store one year ago. They are now in our dressing up box and come out often for imaginative play. Every child likes to feel special and these costumes do just that, make a child feel special by turning them into a superhero.
Beebies Baby Store really does have something for everyone
