Review: Cool and Original - Training Pants
We have been trialling these training pants from Cheeks and Cherries. They cost £19 for two and are available in cool fit or cosy fit. Fizz was sent both sets in her size and I have to say they do come up quite small and I think this is to avoid leaks. She was keen to put them on and loved the independence of putting them on herself. For us though we are attempting her [...]

Review: The Force is Strong
Guest reviewer Kate reviews Fabric Flowers Darth Vader TShirt ready to celebrate the blu ray release. I love funky clothes, I especially love funky clothes that stand out from the crowd and aren’t overly “baby-ish” So when I was sent this Fabric Flavours Star Wars T-Shirt I was a happy lady.

Review: Baba + Boo romping around
After the success of Baba + Boo nappies in our house we decide to try some rompers from their range. These rompers are a bargain at £8.95 and £5.95. We have found them great for summer nighttime as Fizz still wants a blanket but it’s still far to warm for her to wear pajamas. I think they would make a gorgeous present as not too expensive but they look and feel fantastic. I also think [...]

Review: Minene 4 in 1 changing bag
First comes baby, then comes the changing bag. During those first months with your newborn it will feel like you have two little companions everywhere you go because you’re never far away from either. Choosing a changing bag is important. You may like to think you can tick it off your list pretty quick before baby comes but you may find after a few weeks of life with baby, you’re out shopping for something that [...]

Review: Bambino Mio swimsuit
This swimsuit was sent to us by Bambino Mio after struggling with still wanting to use real nappies when swimming. The costume was really lovely and Fizz loved the bright colour that matched her hair. The swimsuit sizes fit well according to weight and has since washed really well. I do think though that this could have done with extra fabric where the nappy part of the swimsuit was. The nappy area was more in [...]

Great iPad Apps for Toddlers
Does your toddler love your iPad as much as you do? Liz’s daughter Eva certainly does! Here she shares some of her favourite toddler friendly apps… Having first played on a friend’s iPad in May 2010 I decided I had to have one! I saved up for a year and bought my own in July 2011. I was excited about the possibilities of entertaining my 20 month old daughter, Eva, on journeys and in waiting [...]

Film Review: Quadrophenia
Brighton Mums were given a chance to review films for a year on Picture Box and with all of us loving film we will be bringing you a film review each month from Picture Box. This month Gav reviews Quadrophenia (Cert 18). “Oh yeah – what IS normal then?” Few films can genuinely lay claim to not only being one of THE classic ‘cult’ films, but also on having an actual impact on the lives [...]

The Mods are in town!
August Bank Holiday weekend in Brighton… Every year I forget about the Mods hitting town but inevitably end up at the seafront that day as a complete coincidence. This year was just the same and we found the Volks and Madiera Drive full of Mods. Stylish women dressed in simple designs, very cool looking dudes and the most amazing scooters you’ll see. The Volks pounds out a fantastic soundtrack while you can grab fish and [...]

Review: Bobux i-walk rosewood Jessica boots
“Gorgeous and hard wearing” Read more of Ellie’s review of her daughter Kayla’s new Bobux Boots! I was really excited when the postman delivered my daughter Kayla’s new boots. The parcel was even wrapped in a pink wrapper. Kayla and I eagerly opened the box to a pair of beautiful pair of little boots. They were gorgeous! A subtle red colour that would match all Kayla’s winter wardrobe, leather that you could tell was hard [...]
