Angelcare Soft Touch Bath Seat | Review

Since my son turned 5 months old, he has hated lying down in the bath, the struggle of holding a wriggling baby who is refusing to lie down is a challenge. This is why I decided to start my search for a bath seat. I looked at tons of seats, however only one really took my fancy!

I wanted a bath seat which was going to be comfy and that would support my son well so he's not slipping around. One night I was on Amazon when I discovered the Angelcare Soft Touch Bath Seat, I'd heard of this brand before, but never seen this product. After reading lots of positive reviews this product instantly caught my attention, however, I am an extreme cheapskate and the price did put me off a little, £25 this bath seat cost, which I though was a bit of a rip of for what it was. After umming and arhhhing I decided to go with this seat, after all I'd rather of spent a bit more than what my budget was if I was going to have a happy, comfy baby during bath times.

The bath seat took two days to arrive and was packaged well. When unboxing, I had a very strong feeling I was going to love this product, and sure enough I was correct.

I've been using this bath seat for over two months now and I absolutely love it! I would recommend it to any parent, and can confidently say this is the best baby product I've spent money on. It definitely paid off to spend that extra money as the quality of this seat is fantastic! My son adores bath time now, I bath him daily as I know that he enjoys his 20 minutes of relaxing in the bubbles and playing with his toys, or should I say, eating his toys!

One great feature is that the legs of the seat have suction pads on that stick to the bottom of your bath, this makes the seat stay put so there's no need for worrying about it sliding about. The part of the seat which baby's bum sits on has little holes in, this keeps the water around the baby instead of blocking it off so your baby is getting cleaned whilst having fun playing - Its a win, win!

This seat is labelled for babies 6 months+, my son was 5 months when we first tried this seat out, he fit perfectly as he is pretty much the same size as a 6 month old. Noah doesn't slip about inside the seat, the rubber type material makes sure his cute little booty is gripped nice and snug.

As you can see from the photo, Noah is so relaxed, he loves the fact he can sit up, look at all the bubbles and be able to grab his bath toys that float around him. Bath times are a breeze now!

I couldn't rave about this product enough, I will be keeping up to date with this brand and seeing what other awesome products they have to offer.

Dyefor | Phone Case | Review

Dyefor is a British company who create high quality phone cases, accessories, clothing and many more.

Dyefor offer personalised products, such as phone cases & homeware etc..

I'd heard of this company for a while, however only just decided to try my luck with them this year, I was not let down!

I didn't realise until doing my research on this brand and what they have to offer, how inexpensive their products are, I bought two personalised phone cases, both were only £9.00 each; and if that wasn't good enough for you, they also do free shipping!

Free shipping is such a bonus for me!

Last month I decided to buy my sister a new iPhone 6s for her 16th birthday, I always like to have a phone case on my phone as I'm a bugger for dropping mine, which was the main reason I wanted to get my sister a case.

I came across Dyefor after searching Google for 'Personalised iPhone Case' and straight away knew I was going to love this brand!

I spent a good half hour searching through the wide variety of choices I had, it was tough choosing which design I was going to stick with, there where many I was fond of.

I was extremely pleased with the phone case when it arrived, delivery was super fast and it only took 2 days which for free delivery is fantastic!

I was very jealous of my sisters new phone case, that I had to get one myself, there cheap enough so why not!?

I am obsessed with mine, I've had so many compliments as well as people asking me where I found it. My case adds a girly touch to my silver, bland iPhone 6 Plus.

The plastic that these cases are made from are great quality, the cases don't bend or snap easily and the plastic is thick enough to protect the back of the phone from scratches. 

This brand get a well deserved 5* review from me!

Dyefor don't just do cases for iPhone's, they also provide cases for: Samsung, Google & Sony mobiles, so your sure to find one to suit your phone!

If you like the look of these cases, why not treat yourself to one, click here to be taken to their website.

My Pregnancy Story

On Saturday 8th June 2017 at 10:14am, my whole world changed.

Noah James Bracey arrived safely into the world and made me a mummy.

My pregnancy was a total and utter shock, after being on the contraceptive pill for three years and not falling pregnant, it all changed and along came my son, the happiest day of my life!

At 21 years of age, I had my life planned out, a house, good job and then a baby. Things didn't quite go to plan when I took a pregnancy test one morning, thinking nothing of it, and right there in my face was a BIG FAT POSITIVE!

After the family discovered the news everyone was thrilled to pieces for me and my partner, which may I just mention we were only officially a couple for two months before we discovered the news!

I was so excited to go through the journey of pregnancy, a week or so later I fell extremely ill with morning sickness, and I mean, it was the worst I've felt in my whole life.

I struggled with having morning sickness everyday for a good few months, almost close to giving up (yep, you know what that means) I pushed through the first trimester and my god, am I glad I didnt quit, as I now couldn't ever imagine life without Noah, he is the missing piece to my puzzle.

The second trimester was somewhat easier, the daily urge to throw up wasn't as regular, although I hated leaving my house, the cold weather made me feel worse!

It was in my second trimester that I found out we were expecting a boy!!!

I cried happy tears and instantly my thought to give up vanished, I then fell head over heals in love with the little human I was growing.

Of course from then on mine and my partners new favourite hobby was shopping for clothes for our soon to be son.

After what felt like an eternity I finally reached the third trimester, morning sickness was a thing of the past, on the other hand it was replaced with many sleepless nights and heartburn. 

At this point I thought my pregnancy, besides the morning sickness, had ran pretty smoothly; only to discover at 28 weeks that I had developed undiagnosed Gestational Diabetes. From then on I was having to test my blood sugars daily before and after every meal, I became use to doing it after a few days, besides, I would have done anything to make sure my precious baby was going to be safe.

37 weeks came around and I had noticed reduced movement from Noah, I later had an appointment from a routine check up at the hospital where I there told the midwife of my situation. Immediately it was decided that I would be induced the week later, little did I know that my son didn't want to wait around any longer, the day after I booked my induction, my son arrived!

At 2am I was disturbed from my sleep from what felt like my waters breaking, I ran to the bathroom in darkness and as soon as I turned the light on all I saw was a trail of blood on the floor, as well as all down my legs.

I was terrified, my first thought was, THERES SOMETHING WRONG!

When I got to the hospital the midwives could not find an answer for where the blood had come from, therefore they had to break my waters ASAP!

I was examined at 6am to find out I was only 2cm dilated, then after hours of horrendous contractions and 3 shots of epidural fluid, I was finally examined again, only to discover that I was fully dilated!

I pushed for around 40 minutes and at 10:14am, Noah James Bracey arrived into the world, weighing a healthy 7lb 1.

That was the day my world was complete, I have never been more happier than I am today, and its all thanks to my wonderful son.

My partner Dan was incredible, he stood by my side the whole time, I grew a lot of respect for him that day, as a man, having to watch your other half be in so much pain for a long period of time must be so frustrating and emotionally draining, I thank him for giving me our son and being the best dad I could possibly wish for.
