When I was asked if I'd like to test and review the Kids quilted mattress protector I jumped at the chance. Ellie has a mattress protector on her bed in case of any accidents. The toilet is after all downstairs! So having a mattress protector on is best to be safe than sorry.  
As it states on the website: 

"The Slumberdown kids waterproof mattress protector offers great protection for beds all night long, helping prolong the mattress life. Extra quilted for comfort the waterproof mattress protector has a polyester filling with a polycotton cover. Machine washable" 

I couldn't wait to put this on Ellie's bed! Off came the old one and on went the new! This mattress protector is very quilted for extra comfort and doesn't make the awful squeaky noise that other mattress protectors make when you move around in bed! It of course makes a little noise but nowhere near as squeaky as the old one! It fits Ellie's single bed perfectly! It's very easy to put on. Unlike her old one, I use to have to stretch it over the corners. No need with this new  mattress protector, it goes on really easy and is a nice snug fit around the mattress! It also doesn't slide off in the night! Her bed is really comfortable and you really can not tell that there is even a mattress protector on (except that her bed is more comfy with this mattress protector on).

It lives up to it's "waterproof" name. While Ellie was watching a movie in bed yesterday afternoon, she was engrossed in the movie that she spilled a little of her drink (from her sports water bottle) on the bed and sure enough it did not go through to the mattress! I am impressed! It's also handy because this mattress protector is machine washable at 40 degrees. 

You can really see how quilted it is! It's very comfy.

Ellie slept soundly all night, with no complaints. No more terribly squeaky mattress protector that slides off half way thru the night! Winning! 

You can buy this kids quilted mattress protector from tesco direct for just £10.50 which is very reasonable considering the good quality! And don't forget, you are also prolonging the life of the mattress too. It's a definite win. So if you're looking for the perfect mattress protector, I highly recommend this mattress protector.

I was sent this products for the purpose of this review. This review is my own, personal, honest opinion! 

 Linked up with Tried & Tested.

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love taking photos. I discovered instagram a few months back and have been an instagram addict ever since. I have way too many photos to print myself, it would take me literally weeks to print of all my photos, not to mention the expense! So you can imagine how delighted I was when Instajunction asked if I would like to review there products! I of course, jumped at the chance. Instajunction is right up my street.

Instajunction is an online store that turns our photos into unique products - such a photo books, magnets, coasters and much, much more. 
The website itself is very easy to use! You just simply click on the product you want to create (I choose the magnets), log into instagram and add your photos that you would like printed onto the product you chose. Easy! 


I chose the magnets as they're unique, different and brighten up my fridge! It didn't take me long to add the photos I wanted turned into magnets. I really enjoyed picking which photos I'd like to see on my fridge, hehe.

The checkout was fast, easy and secure. I immediately received my conformation email telling me my products would be with me shortly. They arrived a couple of days later, which I was very impressed with! Quick service is the best. 

The magnets are 5cm x 5cm and are priced at just £9.99 for 12. I choose 2 lots of 12 magnets. 
All of the products on instajunction are unique, they would make a lovely gift for anyone! So if you're looking for something a little different, why not checkout instajunction. You can also follow them on  twitter and Facebook.

Guy Fawkes night is fast approaching which of course means, Fireworks. We all love a good Fireworks 'do. Especially the kids. But how do we keep the kids safe without them missing out on all the action?

Fireworks are indeed a lot of fun but they are also very dangerous Sadly, they cause more than 1000 injuries each year, around bonfire night, in the U.K Even worse, half of those injuries are aged under the age of 18 years old with the majority of injuries happening at family or private parties.

Children of course want to join in the fun and action. We don't want them to miss out on all the action which is where Wicked Lght-Up Big Bang Rockets come in. It's a very easy, fun and safe solution for kids so that parents can relax a little.


This is how it works:

• Simply load a piece of paper into the Rocket’s tip, launch it into the air and wait for the ultra loud BANG as it plummets back down the ground.
• Perfect on all surfaces, the Wicked Light-Up Big Bang Rocket has multi-coloured flashing lights so it looks even more impressive at night. It’s so easy everyone can have a go!
• Result? Parents everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief.
