Kid Cam

Child and baby camera monitoring system with 2 wireless cameras and a 4.3” (11cm) companion screen (split screen display). Allows mums and dads to see and hear their children from any room across the home or garden, giving them constant reassurance that the little ones are safe and well.

Price: £159.99

Available from: Storage Options

Initial Reaction: I love the idea of this a monitoring system you can use from birth until the much older. Great for keeping an eye on them in the garden or when they start to play in their bedroom by themselves

Pros:

Really easy to set up
Two camera’s
Duel screen
Night vision
Sound and vision
Can be mounted
Wireless cameras
Car adaptor kit can be purchased so you can keep an eye on them in the car
Rechargeable battery

Cons:

Not the most amazing picture

Value for money? Yes for a digital monitor with two cameras and a dual screen. You would use thise for many years.

Overall Reaction: Great product, really easy to use. Our daughter is 3 and I will be using this in the Summer when she is in the garden and when she starts to want to play in her room by herself.

Great if you have two children that require a monitor and they are in separate rooms.

Be Prepared Before Baby Arrives

2012-02-23T14:08:00.003Z

One thing you are never quite prepared for when becoming a parent is the sudden arrival of so much baby stuff in your life. Your lovely little bundle of joy brings with them an awful lot of extra baggage, and you will wonder where on earth you are going to put it all.

If you are organised, you will have the baby nursery and all the necessary, must-have items lined up well in advance of the due date. However, if you are disorganised like me, it may take time to assemble all the things you need. If it is your first baby, you are totally entitled to feel utterly clueless and at a loss as to the ideal set of accoutrements and accessories a new baby requires.

This is where retailers such as Vertbaudet come in very handy. Known chiefly as suppliers of quality clothing for babies, children and expectant mothers, Vertbaudet also stock an impressive range of baby nursery items. A visit to Vertbaudet should be high on the list of those expectant mothers who have that nagging feeling they may have overlooked something important.

Don't worry. If you have forgotten a baby nursery item, chances are you'll find it at Vertbaudet.

One of the first things you notice about new babies is how hungry they get. They constantly demand food, at home, on the move, or wherever you are. Plan for their dietary requirements or expect trouble. Vertbaudet can help out in this area as they sell a vast array of baby feeding accessories. From bright and colourful plates and spoons to bottles, bibs, sterilisers and high chairs, you will find everything you need related to feeding the little darling, at home and on the move.

And when the little one is ready for a nap, have you remembered all you need for the baby nursery to ensure a good night's sleep? Is singing a lullaby really enough to send your little one into a deep slumber? To help create a tranquil and comfortable environment there are really pretty cot bumpers, sleep bags, mobiles, nightlights, dummies and pacifiers available online or can be ordered via the Vertbaudet catalogue.

After a restorative sleep, baby will be wide awake and ready for action. Activity mats offering a variety of stimulating tasks and diversions are a useful way of entertaining your baby. Small babies will sit happily for ages in a bouncy chair or watching an intriguing mobile move in the air. Vertbaudet has a range of interesting activity toys for curious babies.

Finally, after all that hard work playing, baby is ready for a splash in the bath. Fun bath toys and accessories make bath time a really memorable highlight of the day for both parent and child. Other Vertbaudet products such as jolly towel sets, changing mats, potties and baby grooming kits all help contribute to a smooth-running and trouble-free changing and bath time.

So take my advice, get prepared before your baby arrives. Make lists of what you need to get and work your way through it slowly and methodically. Because I can guarantee you one thing, shopping is a whole lot easier before baby arrives.

When I was younger my Dad took me and my sister to a Disney on Ice Show. It was Beauty and the Beast and I remember being totally enthralled by it and can’t wait for BG to experience a show.

The latest Disney on Ice is all about the Princesses and Heroes of the Disney films. They are recreating those special moments that we all love and remember.

The first show is 7^th March at Wembley Arena, the show stays there until the 11^th March and then will tour to Birmingham, Liverpool and Sheffield.

We are going to see it in Birmingham and can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Fire Safety with Children

2012-02-19T19:30:00.000Z

I love a home with a real fire whether it has gas fires or electric fires I think it’s make it cosier.

However with a fire comes great responsibility, according to Directgov Fire is one of the most common causes of accidental death or injury. Of course with a gas fire you must also be careful about carbon monoxide poisoning.

Here are some things to bear in mind when it comes to fires and children

Make sure it is fitted correctly but someone who is qualified. Direct Fires only used full trained installers
Keep the room well ventilated and have a carbon monoxide detector
Never leave a young child in a room with a fire on their own
Use a fire guard where possible
Talk to young children about fire safety
Teach children fire instructions including what to do if they find a fire, how to call 999 and teach them their address
Install a smoke alarm
Make sure matches and lighters are out of children’s reach
Cover empty plug sockets

Fire safety is a serious subject and should be priority in any home.

How have you taught your child about fire safety?
