Dyper Nappy Subscription Review | AD

* Advertisement Feature (but all opinions are my own) I don’t know about you, but lately I have been having a lot of guilt over the fact that I use disposable nappies. I did use reusables with Aria, but I have to admit to finding that washing quite hard to keep up with. I then…

  • AD⁠ Do you feel guilty about using disposable nappies? I really do. So I was really interested to be sent @get.diaper nappies to review. Their nappies are made from responsibly source bamboo and are compostable. Test have shown their nappies are 61% composted by the 75th day. ⁠ ⁠ They are also chemical and ink free so better for babies' bums too. They are available through a subscription, so there is one cost per month and they will send you all the nappies that you need. ⁠ ⁠ Bo and I have been trying them out for the last few weeks and have been suitably impressed. They are as good as any leading brand, but so much softer (I cannot tell you how soft they are!). ⁠ ⁠ You can read all of the full details about them and how we have got on with them on the blog (link in profile). But I really am a convert, as the decision we are making about the future for the environment for our children is so important right now. #bamboobum
  • AD⁠⠀ What are you up to this half term? At the weekend we headed out to @lasiguanasbracknell for a family meal out and it was delicious. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Even better though is this half term @lasiguanas kids eat free! So it makes it so much more affordable to have a meal all together. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ When we were there the restaurant was full of families and was very family friendly, vibrant and colourful. We love Las Iguanas anyway and went there for my birthday last year and I attended the opening @thelexiconbracknell ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So if you are heading out for a family day out this half term, maybe head to Las Iguanas for your meal. We had a great meal and I would definitely recommend the chicken burger with brie (full review up on the blog). ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #bracknell #welovebracknell #thelexiconbracknell #lasiguanas #daysoutwithkids #kidseatfree #halfterm #noordinarykids #documentyourdays #documentyourlife #parentbloggersuk #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #ukparentbloggers #mycandidlife
  • Happy half term! I feel like we have been counting down for it to be half term for a couple of weeks. We just all need a break from all the bugs. I also don’t feel like I can let this status pass without talking about Caroline Flack. I didn’t know her, I’ve never even watched Love Island - not a single episode. But I think we all need to stand up more to online bullying. The media have always been despicable, for years I have refused to buy those ghastly ‘women’s magazines’ they’re marketed for women, but really they just delight in tearing women down. We need to stand together, to build each other, not tear each other down. Don’t buy those ghastly magazines or newspapers. Do something kind the next time you think about leaving an online comment about someone you have never met. Because kindness and compassion makes the world a better place. And finally, how fabulous does Bo look in this tiara? He stole it from Aria and was delighted 😍💕 #bekind #ukparentbloggers #mumlife #thismamaloves #documentyourdays #instamum #toddlerlife #halfterm #feminist #feminism #thisparentlife #lifeupclose #documentyourlife
  • I think it's safe to say I don't look like this today 🙈. This is me ready to go out for my friend's 40th on Saturday. Which unfortunately I had to leave early from (and miss the karaoke ... gutted) as I had an upset stomach. Today the children's stinky cold has caught up with me and I ache all over. It's also triggered my asthma and I actually fell asleep with my inhaler and spacer in my hand in the night last night.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ BUT... two more school days until half term (Friday is an inset day) and I can't wait! AND... after so many dramas the electric bike my husband bought for me for Christmas (which has never worked) it has finally been refunded and hopefully a new one should be arriving this week - yay! Fingers crossed I can get out on it with the children over half term 🚲 😀 ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Also side note totally glad I had my fringe cut back in, I think it was the right hair decision! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #mumlife #thisparentlife #lifeupclose #ukparentbloggers #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #parentsinthepicture #curlyhair #curlygirlmethod #asthma #livingwithasthma #mumswithcameras #documentyourdays #parenting #motherhood #mumsthatslay
  • AD | Gifted coats from @WeLoveFrugi⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What a week. This week I have taken Bo to A&E and felt like the worst mother after shutting his fingers in the door 😔. We've all got colds. Had some terrible nights with Aria, so much so I nearly took her to hospital last night, but we managed to get her settled. But today she was diagnosed with suspected asthma (they don't fully diagnose until 7). Then Bo decided to climb out of his cot and fall this morning - although thankfully he wasn't hurt. Plus my husband is still recovering from his vasectomy operation. Bring on the weekend!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ However, on a positive note we have been trying out this gorgeous coats from Frugi >> Swipe to see Logan and Aria's coats >>. Bo's and Aria's are 100% waterproof and made from recycled bottled (how cool is that). Logan's is really and even better in his opinion has orange sleeves which is his favourite colour. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #welovefrugi #thisparentlife #asthma #takeyourkidsoutside #everydaymoments #documentyourlife #mumlife #wheremywelliestakeme #noordinarykids #motherhood #mycandidlife #parenthood #parenting #ukparentbloggers #littleandbrave
  • AD | GIVEAWAY⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Everyone needs a uincorn to snuggle. I love this unicorn Aria got for Christmas and now she can keep track of it at school with a name label too. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Ever since Logan was in pre-school, nearly 6 years ago now I have been using @mynametags name labels. I love them because I can not sew for toffee and there are so easy and can just be stuck onto items instead. They last ages and survive regular washing and tumble drying too. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I also have one set to giveaway to one lucky winner. To enter all you need to do is the following:⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 1. Follow me @laura_summers and @mynametags⁠⠀ 2. Comment on this post tagging a friend, the more tags, the more entries⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This giveaway is not associated with Instagram⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Ts and cs: Closes 13/2/20. Open to residents in the UK only. One winner will one set of sticker name labels. Winner will be picked at random. No cash alternative. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #giveaway #mynametags #competition #giveawaytime #giveawayalert #giveawaycontest #giveaways #ukparentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #entertowin #winme #instagiveaway #instagramgiveaway #instacontest #winthis #thismamaloves
