Daisy Roots Shoes

| March 22, 2013

I was contacted a few weeks ago by Daisy Roots and asked if I’d like to review a pair of their beautiful handmade leather shoes. I love supporting British companies so I was very excited when I discovered that Daisy Roots have been making shoes in Northamptonshire since 1995.

After visiting their lovely website my mind was full of delightful little leather shoes and the next step was to make a decision as to which pair I’d like to review. The following morning when Imogen asked for an apple I had my mind made up! I chose a pair of beautifully rich purple leather shoes with green apples and flowers on the front.

Imogen loves her new Daisy Roots leather shoes. They keep her feet cosy and warm on our wooden floors and stop her from slipping when she’s running around and playing. For an active toddler they’re the perfect indoor shoe!

What I love most about Daisy Roots shoes:

  • They have suede anti-slip soles
  • There’s room for growth
  • They’re made from soft, breathable leather
  • They fit perfectly around the ankle and are extremely soft
  • They’re made from eco-friendly leather and are chrome free
  • They’re vegetable dyed so are safe for babies who like to chew everything

They look gorgeous when worn with tights or trousers.

Daisy Roots make leather shoes for babies and toddlers in a variety of sizes from newborn to 4 years old. They’re recommended for indoor and pram use and can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth.

I think they’d make the perfect gift for a baby or child and there’s the option to have your shoes packaged in a gift box. Daisy Roots provide free delivery within the UK.

You can find out more about these beautiful leather shoes for babies and children at Daisy Roots and on Facebook.

My 1st Years Fleece Robe

| December 14, 2012

A few weeks ago we were kindly asked if we’d like to review a personalised Pink Fleece Robe for Imogen from My 1st Years. I jumped at the opportunity having been a fan of My 1st Years since they were founded in 2010.

With colder nights we’d resorted to layering on jumpers after Imogen’s bath much to her dislike! Now we have the pleasure of wrapping up our baby in a beautifully soft, warm and cosy Pink Fleece Robe that she absolutely loves to wear.

The personalised touch with Imogen’s name on the Pink Fleece Robe makes it unique and special.

The hood on the robe is great and keeps Imogen very snug, especially if her hair is still slightly damp from her bath. The hood is well designed with plenty of room for baby’s head and the design is especially cute and attractive to little ones with two little ears on it.

There are two large pockets on the front of the fleece robe, currently used for storing small toys. The fleece robe has a long belt for securing the robe gently in place.

As an added benefit I’ve found the My 1st Years Pink Fleece Robe helpful for Imogen’s evening routine because she associates it with bath time, being cosy and snuggling up to read bedtime stories.

Imogen’s My 1st Years Fleece Robe is just adorable. My 1st Years Fleece Robes are available in pink, blue and red in sizes ranging from newborn to 3 years old.

My 1st Years provide free delivery on UK orders over £15 and every order is delightfully wrapped in a beautiful gift box with a white ribbon.

Baby Sleep Aids

| August 24, 2012

A good night’s sleep is essential for the health of the whole family. You need a restful sleep to regenerate your mind and body. And a peaceful night’s sleep is crucial for the development of your baby.

Thankfully there are some incredible baby sleep aids that really work.

Top 3 Baby Sleep Aids

It has been found that babies will go to sleep more easily to the soothing sounds they heard when in utero. The comforting noises heard daily from their mother’s womb and her heartbeat are reassuring to a newborn.

Ewan the Dream Sheep is one of the most effective baby sleep aids.

Ewan the Dream Sheep replicates the soothing sounds of a pregnant mother’s womb and heartbeat. The sounds have been combined with household, musical and natural sounds at low bass frequencies of 125hz to produce pink noise which is the type of noise babies predominantly hear when in the womb.

Research has shown that babies are comforted by certain aspects of the womb. So a pink ambient glow is the natural choice for Ewan the Dream Sheep’s tummy.
