feeding your toddler annabel karmels


I had this book recommend to me for Food ideas for Arrianna, I found it totally invaluable for the whole family there are so many helpful hints and tip as well as easy to do recipes. There are also some fab meal plans inside for various age groups. 

Totally Recommended.  




Pendine Sands & Museum of Speed


What a Totally WONDERFUL evening we spent at Pendine Sands. Firstly we headed to the Museum of Speed. I always remember my Dad taking me to see this when i was little, while Mum stayed on the beach when i was little so it was fab to return and show my own Children Years later. We walked around the Museum Discussing the History of Pendine Sands and the the Story of BABs. Kellyn as ever had lots of Questions and loved every minute of it. 

Next we got the Dogs out of the car and made our way down the beach and into the sea. There was very few people on the beach so we let the dogs off the lead and we all ran wild and free enjoying a beautiful warm evening diving in and out of the sea jumping the waves. There were lots of special things we found on the beach , including sea shells i have never seen before. I then got very told off by Kellyn for not bringing him Shell book so he could research then there and then. We have since sat with his book to name them. 

Reluctantly we then left beach to get a lovely chippy supper. 

Dinosaur World ~ Tenby

Since the start of the Summer Holidays Kellyn has wanted to visit Dino World, so that is what we did. We got there for 10am. The rides did not start till 11am so we took the 1 mile Dinosaur walk, The walk is divided into Various sections of time, and as you walk through you come across various Dinosaurs which lived at that time. Each Dinosaur on display has an information board, Kellyn wanted to read every single one around the walk, Which as you can imagine took some time, Ceienna then told Arrianna her version of what she had heard which was quite comical to the adult around us. After Completing our walk, We headed for the rides. There was lots to choose from however you had to cue up for tokens for the rides and then you had to cue to use them. As Kellyn and i went on one of the water rides i ended up getting soaked, Kellyn and i were laughting so much i headed realised we were being watched by our new friend who were also laughing at us. After lunch we again met up with our new friends and headed into the indoor play area. The Children head off to play while me and the chap from the camp site sat chatting. Our time soon crept away so we said our goodbyes and headed back to the camp-site. 

This for me was not all it was cracked up to be in the info leaflet, However it was easy to get the pushchair around. There was only one lot of toilet on site which is a slight pain if you have a training toddler with you. Also we didn't really find the staff friendly or helpful. 

Mamas and papas Luna



Good Light Weight Pushchair available in a Vary Wide Range of colours and designs. Great Light Weight Easy to use though folding is complicated, Though once down it is small, Though not as compact as the Zia. 

Petite Star Aruba Travel System



This was a Lovely Nice Easy to use pushchair, Easy to Fold Down just by twisting the handle. However it is massive when folded down and it was hard at first to work out how to get the car seat off.
