Peppa Pig toys always resemble the TV show as you may have seen with the Peppa Pig Classic Toys Range, the Peppa Pig Holiday Collection and Princess Peppa’s Enchanting Tower. This Peppa Pig Campervan Playset is no different and POD is delighted with it especially as she’s a little adventurer herself.
I’ve loved photography ever since I can remember. While those pre-digital days waiting for negatives to be developed didn’t always produce the desired result, the best of the bunch were lovingly stuck into albums. Labelled of course with where I was and the date so I could look back on them years later. Much has changed since although my passion for photography has remained strong. I relish capturing our family adventures which feature in blog posts, are framed on a wall or displayed in photobooks.
My go to camera is an SLR and it’s with me much of the time. I find the quality of the images from my smartphone fairly poor so it’s certainly not something I can rely on. It’s not an ideal scenario lugging an SLR around but I’m hopeful the Fujifilm X-A3 mirrorless compact digital camera could be that missing link. Created for budding photographers looking to take their photographic skills to the next level I couldn’t wait to give it a try.
We recently escaped to Center Parcs for a weekend at Longleat with friends. As if being in the forest wasn’t exciting enough, six year old POD was thrilled to have one of her chums and his brother to play with too. Her new Berghaus jacket arrived from Blacks just before the trip which was great timing given she’s outgrown her waterproofs. What a great location for its first outing – not that we aren’t spoilt for choice in Surrey of course!
With the German engineering it’s synonymous for, you can expect unparalleled styling from head to toe with Braun. There are a series of six new products in the beard, hair and body styling range, all boasting world class design and in-depth grooming expertise.
When POD was younger she wore wear trousers a fair bit. Don’t get me wrong they were always cute but necessary what with her desire to climb everything in sight! These days she’s very much a girly girl and looking back, probably has been since the age of three. She adores graceful dresses and would wear one every day given half a chance I’m sure. She continues to enjoy climbing, trees especially but equally relishes in all things pretty.
The Doves have loved being a part of the #TeamSoft vs #TeamTickly campaign for Braun. As well as shooting a video and appearing in the mash-up, the POD Father has pulled together the ultimate list of Father’s Day gifts he’d love to receive on 19th June.
Last month we wrote about the POD Father being an early adopter of the beard. It was a permanent fixture in his travelling days and today it’s regularly trimmed to perfection – often to match a specific occasion. Granted we’ve had a few facial hair disasters along the way but we’re definitely on #TeamTickly – even POD loves her Daddy’s tickly kisses! But what team are you on – #TeamTickly like us or are you a #TeamSoft all about the smooth kind of family?
#AD brought to you by Braun. Who can remember Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and The Sixth Sense? In the music charts at the time was Livin’ La Vida Loca, Baby One More Time and Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of…). Prince previously released a song about 1999, this being the year I met a bearded chap at work who five years later became my husband.
I distinctly remember wandering round JoJo Maman Bebe while I was pregnant. It was refreshing to find a shop that offered a choice of beautifully tailored designs rather than a plethora of pale pink and glitter. We purchased a sleepsuit that day and some other bits as we didn’t know whether POD would be a boy or a girl at that stage. A few weeks after her Christmas Day arrival in 2010, we were back at JoJo Maman Bebe and we’ve shopped there regularly ever since.
Having started nursery when she was a year old, by three POD was pretty much deciding what she wanted to wear. Granted she didn’t always get her way but she’d certainly developed her own sense of style way before she started school. These days her clothes tend to fall into two categories – beautiful dresses and cool casuals. Saltrock certainly falls into the latter with POD insisting on wearing their clothes regardless of whether she’s at the beach or in the forest.
