4 Weeks Of Learning And New Experiences

  1. Maxwell has made the transition from cot to bed
  2. Maxwell has started to try and dress him self
  3. Maxwell has had a lovely summer
  4. Maxwell is looking forward to going back to preschool
  5. Maxwell adores dancing
What a busy 4 weeks we have had! You may have not seen but me and Maxwell have been up to all sorts of activities. We made the most of the 4 weeks and we managed to do so many activities together which was lovely. I have not updated my readers on how Maxwell has been getting on so I thought it was about time I did a large update.

A few months ago Ben and I decided to buy Max a cot bed, we had it delivered to Ben's Nan's house and we forgot that it was there for many months. Me and Ben discussed Maxwell's transition to cot and bed and we were a little worried, however we need not be. Maxwell has adapted to his new bed very well and since Maxwell has made the transition to his big boys bed we have only had one night where Maxwell refused to go to bed and played up for 2 hours. Throughout those 2 hours I took Maxwell back to his bed each time and showed him no attention. He soon go the message that he was not going to win the fight and ever since Maxwell has stayed in his bed. Maxwell goes to bed at 7am at night and sleeps all the way through to around 6am in the morning which is brilliant. We are both extremely proud at how well Maxwell has settled into being in a big boys bed and he has been rewarded with Peppa Pig magazines.

Recently Maxwell has started to want to be come very independent and he is now at the stage where he tries to dress himself as well as put his own shoes on. Maxwell is able to put his own shorts on, his own wellies and will attempt to put any shoes on that have Velcro on, he also takes his own socks off and tries to help get his t-shirt on and off. It will not be long before Maxwell is picking his own outfits out in the morning and getting dressed himself.

If I am honest I was dreading summer a little. I didn't want to have a boring summer with Maxwell and I wanted to make it as fun as possible for him.  In the end me and  Maxwell got up to lots of activities, all which were a lot of fun. I have found new activities to do with Maxwell which I now will keep doing with him and I am looking forward to next years summer holidays so we can make more amazing memory's!

Maxwell returns to preschool tomorrow and I think he has missed going a little. It took a while for Maxwell to adjust to not going so he will be surprised that he will be returning. On his return Maxwell will be going for 2 mornings a week instead of the one and in the last few weeks we have found that we are able to rent our house for another year meaning Maxwell will not have to move preschool's which is fantastic news as I like to keep him as settled as much as possible.

Maxwell has started to really take a interest in music and he now loves to dance, slide and jump around the room when music comes on. The video below shows how mad about music he is.

Silentnight Superspring 10.5 Tog Duvet Review

Recently The Bedding Company sent me a brand new double duvet for me to settle into our new home with. It was the perfect little present to send us as we had already bought brand new covers, so it was nice to have a new duvet to go in our new home.

The Bedding Company sent me a Silentnight Superspring 10.5 tog duvet. When it arrived I was happy with what I found. With winter fast approaching I was hoping the duvet would be nice and thick to keep me warm in the cold winter nights and Silentnight came up trumps for me again!


Our first night in our new home was a lovely experience. I was kept warm with the new duvet and it made me feel snug and comfy. The duvet is not partially heavy which is great as sometimes this causes me to overheat. In the morning I found that the duvet bounced straight back into its flat shape even though I had it rolled around me all night.

One of the great qualities about this duvet is that is machine washable. This is perfect for us as sometimes we manage to spill things over the covers such as drinks so it is great to know that I can chuck it in the washing machine and get it clean again or even just freshen it up with a quick wash.


So far I have been really impressed with our new duvet. I look forward to going to bed every night as it is my place of rest and Silentnight have ticked all the boxes when it comes to making people relaxed, comfy and warm this winter with this fantastic duvet which has contributed to me sleeping well.

The duvet is priced at just £21.99 which I think is a good price for such a good quality item. I am now looking into buying some new Silentnight Pillows.

I did not receive any financial reward for writing this review.
However we did receive the product for review purposes. Everything written in this post is my own, honest opinion.

Pabobo Savanna Lumilove Lion Review


It was the night before Halloween and the house seemed cold and spooky. There was a thud and a thump and the lights flickered and went out, Maxwell screamed from under the covers. Was there a monster under the bed or was it the friendly ghost in the attic? Maxwell sat up sharply and took his new friend out from the pillow. His friend glowed with joy as he helped Maxwell identify the noise. Maxwell found a small box had fallen from his wardrobe and his box of plastic spiders had escaped! Pabobo Savanna had once again saved the day and made Maxwell feel safe.


With its moveable legs and arms, Lumilove lion will become your little one’s best friend and he will always be up for an adventure. If its day or night the Lumilove lion will be there for your little one. With 4 different designs there is something to suit everyone's taste.

The Lumilove lion lights up for up to 8 hours and changes through a variety of LED colours which make up  the colours of the rainbow. The Lumilove is fully rechargeable and comes with a separate charger which simply plugs into the bottom of the light. This is a great feature as it means I do not have to constantly visit the shops to get new batteries and I can simply charge the light from home which saves me not only money but time.


Children are able to use the Lumilove lion with ease as it come with a ‘tap on/tap off’ mode. This enables your child to choose their favourite colour by lightly tapping the lion. This feature could also help children later on in life to learn colours. This light could double up as a learning toy.

Overall Maxwell has made a great friend out of the Lumilove and we have enjoyed using it. We found the product to be 100% safe as it never got to hot when in use and it is built to last. It is a great product which has been designed to help children get a better nights sleep and even help them not be scared of the dark however I also think that it could help children with their development, especially when it comes to learning colours.

Silentnight Sleep Clinic

Sleepless nights costing UK economy more than £600 million 
- Birmingham is the capital of sleep-related absence

Sleep-deprived workers take six million sick days a year with the cost to the UK economy
£611 million, a new study has revealed.
One in five (19%) admitted they had taken a sickie because of a bad night's sleep,
according to the survey of 2,044 people by Silentnight.

Only 13% said they slept peacefully while those kept awake blamed the thought of having
to get up early the next day (32%), money worries (26%) and a stressful day at work
(26%).

Almost a fifth (19%) said that arguing with a loved one regularly affected their bed time.

More women (20%) than men (16%) miss work due to sleepless nights with Birmingham
the worst place in the UK for sleep-related absences, followed by Glasgow and Liverpool.

Unsurprisingly, one-sixth of workers choose to catch up on sleep while travelling on public
transport but 7% admitted to falling asleep while at their desk and 4% during a meeting.

The study also revealed how almost half of people (44%) never enjoy a lie-in - even at
weekends - with most lie-ins lasting less than 30 minutes.

Over three quarters (79%) of those surveyed admitted to experiencing personal sleep
issues, with the most common problems being snoring (51%), excessive sweating (41%)
and sleep talking (30%).

Problems caused by a lack of sleep included decreased concentration levels (31%), bad
health (28%), grumpiness towards partners (21%) and arguments at home (11%).

Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, Silentnight’s sleep expert and a sleep therapist at Capio Nightingale
Hospital, said: “Sleep is crucial to our health and well-being and it is clear from the
findings that lack of quality sleep is making a real impact on people’s lives - from absence
from work, decreased concentration levels and arguments in the home.

“A few simple steps can make a huge difference to getting a good night’s sleep.
Switching off from work and social media channels an hour before bed, taking the time to
unwind, eating a balanced diet and making sure that our sleep environment is as tranquil
as possible are all positive steps in the right direction.

“This is why I have joined forces with Silentnight to launch its first online Sleep Clinic. I will
be providing personalised sleep plans for ten recruits suffering from everyday sleep
issues. The Sleep Clinic is aimed at educating people across the UK that a few simple
techniques can help the nation get a great night’s sleep every night.”

Working with resident sleep expert, Dr Nerina, Silentnight is searching for ten people with
everyday sleep issues to take part in a four week Sleep Clinic.

Each participant will receive a personalised sleep plan from Dr Nerina, a Silentnight bed,
tailored to their specific sleep issue, and asked to provide feedback about their
experiences via weekly video diaries hosted on the Silentnight website. All of the
information and sleep plans will also be available for people to follow along at home.

Nick Booth, Marketing Director at Silentnight, said: “From our partnership with Dr Nerina,
to the research and development that we invest into our product range, at Silentnight we
are dedicated to helping the nation get a great night’s sleep.”

A Week Of Learning And New Experiences

  1. Maxwell has learnt to blow kisses
  2. Maxwell enjoys looking at picture books before bed
  3. Maxwell only has his dummy at night time/nap time
  4. Maxwell has a new bath friend
  5. Maxwell's speech is coming on leaps and bounds
This week Maxwell has learnt to blow kisses. At bedtime he gets into bed, waves good night and then blows me kisses. It is so incredibly cute. Once in bed Maxwell likes to read a special teddy bear book.  Its called Opposite Teddy Bear and has some lovely pictures of bears as well as bold words! The book shows the teddy bear going on a journey and doing opposite things.  Maxwell enjoys flicking through it.

As some of our readers may know, Maxwell has a dummy. Over the past few weeks, I have not been letting him have it in the day.  He is coming up to two years old and as I was worried it was preventing him learning to speak. This week Maxwell has not had his dummy at all in the day time and only has been having it at nap time and bedtime. Soon I hope he realises he doesn't need it at all.

Last week I decided Maxwell needed something to put all his bath toys in. I managed to find him a big duck that clips on the side of the bath and if you open its beak you can drop the bath toys in and they fall in the net. Maxwell loves it! He often goes to visit it throughout the day and loves opening and closing the ducks beak.

Maxwell's speech has really improved. He seems to learn new sounds, and tries to pronounce words each day. It amazes me at how well he has been getting on. He tries to say the word ball, car, bye and hi and he also likes to say "OH". I am sure he will get there soon.
