Toddler Time at Picturehouse Cinema

| October 21, 2013

This week Imogen and I went to our local Picturehouse Cinema for Imogen’s first ever cinema experience (aside from the Big Scream which she went to twice with me when she was under the age of one). We went to see Rastamouse which was playing at Toddler Time. It’s a 30 minute session for toddlers and their parents or carers. I think it’s a lovely way to introduce toddlers to the big screen.

Charley, Peter and Kitty were chosen by Imogen to come to the cinema with us as she thought they’d like Rastamouse (perhaps Kitty more than the others).

There’s plenty of music, dance and singing in Rastamouse which immediately meant Imogen was a huge fan. She didn’t sit down once, choosing to stand and then dance whenever the music played.

Linking up with the lovely bloggers at What’s the Story? and Magic Moments.

I made my quick and healthy Simple Fish Pie last night and it was devoured in no time!

A delicious and hearty meal for toddlers, children and the whole family.

My Shopping Experience at Zalando.co.uk

| October 8, 2013

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Zalando and kindly asked if I would like to experience shopping at Zalando.co.uk. To be perfectly honest, I hadn’t heard of Zalando before and I quickly jumped online to have a look. The first thing that stood out to me was the incredible range of products available for the whole family. Everything from shoes to children’s clothing to women’s fashion to men’s sportswear and homeware.

It was a pleasure to browse the vast selection of Fashion and Accessories from brands around the world, with some amazing designers from Europe.

In the Children’s Wear section I discovered a beautiful linen dress from the Danish clothing brand Noa Noa that I chose for Imogen. It is slightly too large for her to wear now but it will fit perfectly next summer. I can just imagine this pretty dress being worn on a summer’s day or for a special occasion.

I love this colourful and fun hat rack by Present Time in Homeware. It is designed in Holland and would look great in a nursery or child’s bedroom. The brightly coloured balls are the perfect size for hanging children’s coats, hats and items of clothing on.

We placed it on Imogen’s bedroom wall and find it is wonderful for holding her coats, hats, scarves, bags and blankets. It conveniently keeps Imogen’s outdoor accessories handy and organised for when we’re rushing out of the door to get to the park!

Having previously bought items of clothing for Imogen from the Danish brand, Name It, I decided to select a couple of long sleeved tops and leggings from Zalando. These are comfortable for everyday play and wash really well.

From Zalando Home I selected a set of beautiful hand blown glass hurricane lamps from Germany. Both purple, one is almost transparent and the other is a darker shade. They look stunning when the sun shines through and with a lit candle they provide a glow of ambient light.

My shopping experience at Zalando.co.uk was fun, easy and it opened my eyes to an online store that conveniently sells everything you need for both your family and your home. I’ve bookmarked Zalando and will be shopping online again very soon.

Disclosure: Zalando offered me a voucher that I used to buy these items in exchange for this sponsored post. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
