personalised cupcakes

Whoever dreamed up being able to order cakes to be delivered through the post needs a medal.  I’m a big fan of cake and when Caketoppers got in touch asking us to review a box of their personalised cupcakes – who was I to say no?! The cupcakes can be ordered through the Caketoppers website, and… Read More

A Festive Spa Break at Armathwaite Hall, near Keswick

by mentalparentals, in category Cumbria, Reviews, Travel
Spa Break at Armathwaite Hall

Just before Christmas, hubs and I visited Armathwaite Hall, near Keswick, in the Lake District for a very well-deserved break.  We had never left Q overnight and nine months of broken sleep takes its toll.  Both A and I were very much looking forward to our overnight stay at Armathwaite Hall and the little treats… Read More

Hot Milk Lingerie Nursing Bra – Review

by mentalparentals, in category Clothing and Shoes, Reviews
Hot Milk Lingerie nursing bra

For the last nine and a half months, I’ve been a proud breastfeeding Mama but have struggled to find decent nursing bras on the high street.  I’ve been measured by a store assistant that asked me why I thought I was wearing the wrong size without putting a tape near my body.  I had given… Read More

New Phone Case

Isn’t it nice to treat yourself at Christmas?  We all love a sparkly new phone case and so I’ve collaborated with Caseapp to show you their amazing range of products!  Not so long ago, I reviewed a standard iPhone case and a skin for the iPad mini which were both great. We’ve just upgraded one… Read More

Dinosaur Top Trumps Quiz – Review

by mentalparentals, in category Educational Products, Reviews, Toys and Games
Dinosaur Top Trumps

Recently, we were sent the new Dinosaur Top Trumps Quiz game from the National History Museum shop.  Although it’s designed for children a couple of years older than O, I thought he’d really love it as he’s always loved learning about dinosaurs. This pocket-sized family game is great to play at home or pop in a… Read More

Learning Fun with Education Quizzes

Education Quizzes

As we’re approaching the Christmas holiday, the kids are tired and in need of a break from the routine and pressures at school.  Quality time spent at home with the family, playing games together is my ideal way to spend the Christmas break. After reading through the most popular buzzfeed quizzes, I decided to go ahead and… Read More

Cutting a First Tooth with Matchstick Monkey – Review

by mentalparentals, in category Baby Products
Matchstick Monkey

Most babies start to cut teeth when they’re around 5 or 6 months old… but not Q…  We have experienced a few unsettled nights but nothing really major.  This last couple of weeks, he’s been really in amongst his teeth – he runs his tongue around his gums and is up every couple of hours… Read More

Star Wars Tees with Sgt Smith – Review and Giveaway

Sgt Smith Tees

I have been blessed with two baby boys and a husband to love and care for…  but male fashion doesn’t come easily to me!  None of the boys are particularly interested in shopping and my husband will leave it until the last minute to look for clothes.  When the lovely folks at Sgt Smith recently… Read More

Ergobaby Adapt Carrier – Review

by mentalparentals, in category Baby Products, Reviews
Ergobaby Adapt Carrier

Since having Q, I’ve always been interested in attempting to baby wear but really didn’t know where to start with the huge world of baby carriers and slings.  Living in rural Cumbria, my nearest sling library is almost an hour’s drive away so isn’t really accessible during my day of naps, meals and school runs.… Read More

Splashy the Whale

Since Q was born, we’ve been on the lookout for games to play with O during nap times.  Mainly so that it forces that good quality time for him to play with both of his parents at the weekend.  Popular toy and games manufacturer, John Adams got in touch and suggested that we might like… Read More
