Monkey Wellbeing

No comments

As most of you know little J spends most of his time in and out of hospitals and he has done since he was born. Whether its attending appointments or visiting specialists, it sometimes feels like a second home. He has already had one 'failed' operation to try and correct his toe and will be due another in the next few months. I am hoping by the time he is older all these appointments will have stopped and he wont be able to remember just how much time he spent see doctors and nurses. The one thing that does upset me is just how many children you see around the hospital. Some just with cuts and bruises but others who look really sick and look like they have been in there for a while. Its so sad and it must be very scary for a child to be in hospital, especially if its their first time. Lots of machines, gadgets and bleeping noises. I recently came across Monkey Wellbeing and I just fell in love with the idea and asked Helen if she would write a post for me, explaining all about Monkey Wellbeing so that I could share it with my readers.

Skip Hop Zoo Travel Blanket

No comments

On our recent trip we did do lots of driving across the country and at times it did get quite chilly. We had packed our Skip Hop Zoo Travel Blanket with us and it was perfect to keep little J warm.  

Firstly the monkey design is so cute and perfect for my little monkey, it super soft and very cosy.
The monkey face  acts as a cushion as well as the pouch. Little J likes to lie on the cushion, its really soft. He actually lay on it before I had managed to take the packaging off.  

When you open it up, it unfolds into a huge blanket.  

It is perfect for the car but also at home, when you are snuggling on the couch or just want to cuddle up.   So when you have finished with the blanket you just need to fold it back away into the pouch and then you can carry it with you using the handle.   The blanket comes in 3 designs, Owl, Ladybug or Monkey. Current RRP is £23   I recently went to Hamleys and saw more of the Skip Hop Travel Range so I am looking forward to adding some more of the range to our collection.  

The Skip Hop Zoo Neckrest is perfect for little ones aged between 2 to 4. They will make journeys more comfortable by giving support to the neck. Ideal for cars, planes and trains as they are very easy to carry and will make journeys more fun.   The neckrest comes in 4 designs, Owl, Ladybug, Bee and Monkey. Current RRP is £15  

Lastly I spotted the gorgeous Skip Hop Zoo Luggage perfect to make you collection complete.   The Skip Hop luggage is a pull along trolley style suitcase. It has a sturdy handle and the design of the case means if little ones get tired of pulling it along, the shoulder strap can be removed and this will allow the parents to carry it as a bag.   Lots of space inside to pack toys, books or teddies and has a wipe clean lining.   The luggage comes in designs all with their own themed zip toggle. Owl, Ladybug, Bee and Monkey. Current RRP is £39   For more information you can visit Maguari     *we were provided with a Skip Hop Travel Blanket. The thoughts above are our own*

Little J Is Making Music

No comments

Little J loves making noises with his toys whether it's banging two blocks together or hitting a plastic box like a drum, he is always trying to make new sounds. A few weeks ago he was at play group and was playing with a xylophone and even though it was such a simple toy he loved it. He sat playing with it longer than any other toy there and seemed to really enjoy himself.   When we were given the chance to review a toy from What2Buy4Kids I had a look on the website to see if there were any xylophones and there were.  We chose the Lion Xylophone by Orange Tree Toys.
