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.

A Better Man By Leah McLaren Book Review

AD

Since becoming a mam I rarely have the time to read, so when I recently heard about the Britmums book club I swiftly joined up in the hope of discovering some new books and reigniting my passion for reading. 

I was sent a book called 'A Better Man' by Leah McLaren, an author and book I had not heard of before. However the blurb on the back of the book seemed intriguing, it read

" Maya wants Nick to be less of a workaholic, to come home earlier, to spend some time with his children." 

" Nick wants a divorce."

Disney On Ice

AD

Yesterday we were lucky enough to watch Disney on Ice at Newcastle's Metro radio arena. I love Disney on Ice, I use to take my eldest every year until a few years ago when she lost interest in princesses. However now my toddler Sophia is two she has taken an interest in Disney and adores the movies and characters, Minnie Mouse and Toy Story are firm favourites. 

So when we were given the chance to go and see the show I knew my toddler and three year old niece would love it. 

My First Thomas & Friends Rail Rollers Spiral Station - Review

AD

We were recently sent a My First Thomas & Friends Rail Rollers Spiral Station toy for my one year old son to review. I just knew that both my children would love this toy as they both like Thomas and this toy was unlike anything that they already have. 

 There was no screws, batteries or anything to build as the whole toy just clips together easily with super simple diagram instructions included. It only took me around five minutes to build the toy. 

The Marriott Hotel Gateshead Metrocentre : Review

AD 

* The Marriott hotel Gateshead is now a Delta hotel * 

Last week we stayed at the Marriott hotel Newcastle, Gateshead Metrocentre as part of the Beamish Package that they offer. I wrote about the package as a whole earlier in the week but thought that I would do a proper review of the hotel. The hotel is located near the A1 right opposite Europe's largest leisure and shopping complex the Metrocentre and just a short ten-minute journey away from Newcastle city centre. The hotel is rated 4 star and is perfect for both business and leisure purposes.
