Picnic week with Primula Cheese

As the weather heats up and summer promptly on its way what better way to enjoy lunch that outside with a Picnic! This week (13th - 21st June) is National picnic week so dust of your picnic blankets, check out the picnic week hub from Primula cheese for some great picnic ideas and head out in to the great outdoors.

As a family we are huge fan of picnic's and we regularly pack up our picnic basket and head outside for lunch sometimes the beach, sometimes the woods and sometimes just our garden.

Primula recently sent us a range of their products to enjoy alongside a picnic and so headed of to the shop to purchase some more picnic food to accompany the delicious primula flavours we had received. We purchased a french stick, crackers, grapes, strawberries, we also cooked up some mini sausage rolls, boiled eggs and quiche at home.
Remember when thinking picnic food think easy to eat and low fuss. Food that can be eaten easily with your hands and create minimum mess especially if there are children enjoying the picnic too! Thats why Primula is perfect for the picnic, it comes in handy tubes with a lid that can be easily transported in a picnic basket with no mess.

Picnics are a great way to get all of the family together and so we invited the children's nanny and grampy (my mum and dad) along to enjoy the picnic with us. Its great how something as simple as a picnic can bring together 3 generations of family! We had a lovely afternoon full of laughter and delicious food all whilst enjoying the sunshine and family time.

Another top tip is that if you have children who are perhaps reluctant to try new foods I have found that brignging them along to a picnic means they are much more inclined to try them! I have no idea why but it has certainly worked for us and both children have tried foods during a picnic they would perhaps have not wanted to try at home. On our picnic both children tried watermelon and loved it! Something they would have been reluctant to try at home.

So this weekend if the sun is shining why not pack up your picnic basket, grab some outdoor games and head off for the afternoon for some family time and a delicious picnic, its free, fun and delicious!

Make sure you check out the Primula picnic hub before you head out too!

What is your favourite picnic food?

SnoozeShade Original **REVIEW**

I am sure all parents at some point have had the dilemma of trying to keep the sun out of a child's face whilst out and about in a car seat, pushchair or pram. Have you tried keeping the sun out of their face by covering the pram with a muslin or blanket or spent your day constantly adjusting a parasol? Then you need to try a SnoozeShade!

We have been testing out the SnoozeShade original for a pram/pushchair and its been fab! 

Evelyn is currently using the pram function on her pushchair and being a summer baby we have tried several things to try and keep the sun off her. I am sure most of you have had the struggle of using the little parasols that clip onto the pushchair, Which are fine until you need to walk, move or the sun changes directions and they then need constant readjustment! 

The SnoozeShade offers an end to all that!

The SnoozeShade protects baby from 99% of UV rays and is approved by the Melanoma international foundation. Making any time sleep time for baby whilst out and about and no more worrying whether baby is covered up or not.

The SnoozeShade original is a universal size and will fit onto all prams, pushchairs, travel systems and 3 wheelers! 

As well as the SnoozeShade for prams and pushchairs SnoozeShade also have a design to fit car seats and travel cots so baby can always be protected. 

The SnoozeShade original is priced at just £19.99 which I think is a fantastic price for something that is easy to use, high quality and protects baby quickly, easily and hassle free.

Here is a short video of just how easy the SnoozeShade is to use on a carrycot (as we used it) along with some fitting tips.

The SnoozeShade came in a handy bag to store it in when not being used and came with some easy to follow instructions (although if you find it easier to follow a video SnoozeShade have lots of "how to fit" videos which can easily be found on Youtube and on their Youtube channel HERE).

We loved the Snoozeshade and will be continuing to use it for the pram and when Evelyn moves up to her pushchair (A great thing about SnoozeShade is you only need to buy one product as it adapts from pram to pushchair!). I loved the little zipper "window" which meant I could unzip it and have a peak inside to check on Evelyn without having to remove the shade all together.

(Peek a boo sleepy baby)

As well as protecting baby from the sun the SnoozeShade can also protect baby from insects, wind, light rain and a chill that you may get whilst out walking. 

I really cannot recommend the SnoozeShade enough!

Have you tried out the SnoozeShade before for either pram, pushchair, car seat or travel cot?
