Fisher Price Charisma 3-in-1 Trike Review

AD

Recently my one year old was lucky to be sent a Fisher Price Charisma 3-in-1 trike to review. When the box arrived it was fairly small and lightweight (perfect for wrapping up for Christmas). It was super quick and simple to build with easy to follow instructions.

The quality of the Fisher Price trike is fantastic with a lightweight metal frame, secure plastic seat unit, rubber wheels and lots of fantastic storage space. This trike has lots of little extra features too such as padded harness straps and seat covers (which are washable), footrests for younger children who can not reach the peddles yet and soft easy grip handlebars and adjustable canopy. As well as a reclining seat, built in suspension and the option to easily swap from parent steering to child steering. 

Lunch At Blackfriars Newcastle

It was my birthday a few weeks ago and to celebrate the other half treated me to lunch out. We decided to visit Blackfriars in Newcastle city centre for lunch. Tucked away between the gate complex and China town sits Blackfriars, an award-winning restaurant located in the 13th century former medieval friary that now serves lots of local produce. 

The restaurant is decorated in keeping with the medieval background with bare stone walls, wooden carved chairs and lots of candles dotted around the room. You could tell that lots of attention to detail has gone into the feel of the place with unique carved stone salt and pepper pots on the tables and placemats showing where the local food they serve is produced.

The Pampers Baby Dry Challenge

AD

Regular readers will probably already know that I am a  Pampers fan, I have used Pampers nappies on all three of my children. I have tried other brands now and then but I always come back to Pampers, as I personally find them the best around. 

Pampers recently launched some Baby Dry pants which are a pull-up pant style nappy that offer up to 12 hours of dryness and are designed to make nappy changing easier for mobile babies who are still too young for potty training. I always thought that pull up pants were for potty training but these ones are just as absorbent as a regular nappy but they are designed to be like pants. They are easier to put onto a wriggling baby and you can just pull the sides to remove them, genius! 

Newcastle's Hidden Gems

AD 

I have lived on the outskirts of Newcastle my whole life and I have been visiting the city centre most weeks since I was a child. 

I like to think that I know my way around Newcastle as I have visited that often, but I think when you live somewhere you take the city you live in for granted and stick to places you know and don't appreciate all the wonderful things around you. 

So when Travelodge got in touch to ask about hidden gems in Newcastle I was unsure of what to say. Newcastle has a bit of a reputation as a party city full of hen and stag parties and the cast of Geordie shore getting mortal, along with football fans in black and white strips. Yes, Newcastle is like that it has an amazing nightlife with so many bars and clubs and a very loyal football following. 

The city is more than that though.
