Baby Name Tag

In the last few months, I have seen a lot of Youtubers dot the baby name tag and it has become one of my favouite videos to watch because I am noisy and like to see what other people think of names. I actually saw my lovely friend Emily do it on her blog so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and do it as well.

1. What is your favourite boy and girl's name from the top UK names list?

For a girls name I think I would have to go with the name Scarlett which I think is just such a pretty and really girly name without sounding too cute and young. I do not actually know anybody called this at the moment but I am sure this will change now I have said it.  For a boy my favourite name is Logan which I think is all to do with Xmen but for me it a really strong and powerful name which is maybe the reason behind why I like it so much.

2. What is your least favourite boy and girl's name from the top UK names list?

For a girl it has to be Jessica, I know the reason why it is my least favourite because this is what so many people ask if Jess is name actually is when you tell them her name. No, it is not I feel like getting her a t-shirt which says Just Jess maybe that could be her blog in the future she was one of only 15 Jess's registered in the UK in 2015.  For a boy it has to be Bobby there are some personal reasons and the fact is that I just don't think the name Bob would suit a child now. Sorry if your kid's names are these.

3. If you had twins, what would you name them? (G/G, B/B, B/G)

Oh, this is a hard one I think girls would be Scarlett & Daisy, boys Jacob & Harry, Boy and girl would be Scarlett & Jacob. For some reason  it is a lot harder for me to think of boy names I like maybe because I seem to know a lot more guys than I do girls and their names remind me of so many people.

4. If you could change your name to anything what would it be?

No, I wouldn't even though my name is super common it has not done anything to annoy me too much and it has lasted me 22 years so why change it now.

5. You have four children, any gender, their first names all have to start with the same letter. What would their names be?

Jess, Jacob, Jordan, Josh I don't think I could have all J names thought it would confuse me way too much and I would be pretty outnumbered.

6. What's your favourite animal inspired name?

Leo which is Latin for Lion I think this is a name which I like and an animal name which people wouldn't think is too out there and different.

7. What's your favourite colour inspired name?

Violet without a doubt it is such amazing name for a little girl and it is not one which you seem to hear too often. 

8. What are your top 3 favourite boy names?

Jacob, Harry & Matt 

9. What are your top 3 favourite girl names?

Scarlett, Daisy & Masie

10. What is your favourite celebrity baby name?

I had to have a google because I can never remember celebrity baby names however, I really like Luna which is John Legend's little girls name I think it is something which is super different and so cute and very pretty without been too unique as well. 

11.What is your ultimate guilty pleasure name?

I guess I don't have one because how can a name be a guilty pleasure I really do not understand this. 

12. What are your most hated baby names?

I don't hate it any baby name as this is very strong word but a name which I am not a huge fan of is the name Bear I don't know why maybe it is just cute while they are young but I do not see a grown man called Bear.

13. A baby name based on a food / drink?

I think I am going to have to say Louie which is a crab I think it is one which you could use and people would not think that it was too unique and I do not think there are many people who I actually know who have this name. 

14. A baby name based on a month?

This for sure is not a name I would use at all because I do not think you could get away with it but September I think it is different but who knows I might start a new trend and this might become a new name. 

15. Choose a baby name from a movie?

Logan, of course,  I think this is a beautiful name and of course, it is from the Xmen which is one of my favourite series of films so it only seems fitting. 

16. Choose a name that is already in your family.

Noah, I think is a really beautiful name, however, I know so many people called this now so I do not think I would be using this in the future should I have any more children.

What do you think of the names I have chosen. If you have not do this tag and would love to please do, leave me your links in the comments because for sure I will check them out.

Little Angels Comfort & Protect Nappies Review

A little while ago I was contacted by the lovely PR team who look after Little Angels to see if I wanted to review some of their new comfort and protect nappies. Of course, I did as you may remember I reviewed some of their nappies way back in December, and Jess has also used them all of her life.

Little Angels Comfort and Protect are amazing nappies which provide up to 12 hours dryness which is something which I justify for because overnight Jess can have them on for around 12 hours and she never seems to leak which is amazing as I have heard other people say other brands leak after around 6 hours.

These nappies feel super soft as well which helps because as you may know if you follow me on Instagram Jess has had the chicken pox recently and they were that soft that they did not seem to irritate the pox which is great as I know the smallest thing can irritate them.

As you might see from the picture above there are elasticated leg cuffs which are meant to help prevent leaks as we have mega absorbent gel beads which apparently can absorb their own weight which is amazing because we do not want them to leak. Leaks can actually cause a lot of clothing changes which is not great. I have found that leaks are not common with these nappies they only occur if you let your child drink a lot of fluids or keep them on for longer than 12 hours.

As you know Jess spends a lot of time on the train and this means it can be hard to change her but we have found using these we only have to change them when she is getting soggy and when she has had a poo.

Little angels also have a unique colour coded waistband which allows us, parents, when to move them up as size. When the tab goes to the white area you need to move them up a size which is amazing because I have found without this I would not know when Jess really needed to move up a size so this does help me.

If you used the Little Angels Comfort Dry and Supreme protection nappies these are the ones which are going to replace them so you will need to purchase these instead.

The new Little Angels Comfort & Protect range is available in sizes 3, 4, 4+, 5, 5+, 6, and 6+ and are priced from £3.50 per pack. I love that Jess who is in size 4/4+ she can purchase packs which are 84 which means that I do not have to purchase packs as often and do not have to take them to nursery as often which is great because I am always forgetting them.

Have you tried the Little Angels Nappies?

What To Do With Old Clothes

 

Hi Guys 

Something which I didn't realise before having Jess is how little babies wear clothes before they actually grow out of them. I have been lucky and she has been in 3/6 months since she has been about 5 months and she has just grown out of it and she is 10 months old. Then you are stuck with the dilemma what do you do with the clothes which are all too small. 

You could save the clothes incase you have another child in the future. This is something which I have not done due to the fact that I only have clothes for a girl and should I have another child in the future I would not find out the gender till they were born. So I could have all this girl clothes and have a boy also the fact that if there is another child I would have moved house because we plan on having a family home. So storing clothes which don't fit wouldn't work for us however I know it really does for some people so this is an option.

Five Under £5 July 2016

 

Hi Guys

Today I am joining in with my first ever link up post which was created by the lovely Julia who blogs at Rainbeaubelle. I have seen the Vicki from Letstalkbeauty do this for a few months and I thought this is something I would be interested in sharing as well. The aim of it is to share 5 items which you have purchased that month which have cost less than £5 items which normally may not have made it into a haul. This month I have decided to pick items which I have purchased for Jess as I haven't really purchased much for me under £5.

Swapping Third Year For A Three Week Old

Hi Guys

Today I am going to share a personal post with you I should be starting my third year exactally at the time this post goes up . This could be a long post so make sure that you are sitting comfortably. Before I start I will say that I have not mentioned this previously because of the fact that I thought that people may judge me and I was scared of the response which I could have received.

Way back in June on my boyfriends 21st birthday I found out that I was 3+ weeks pregnant at the time I though that even though I don't agree with abortions I would have one because of the fact that we live miles apart and I was just about to complete the second year of my degree. However this is where this story gets a bit more complex. I found at I was actually 26 weeks pregnant which that is over the legal abortion limit which meant I would have to continue with the pregnancy.

This is when I started looking into adoption because I wanted to make sure that the buddle of joy which I had created could have the best life the could something which I didn't think I could provide due to my circumstances at the time. I will admit this was one of the scariest times of my life I was still living in my uni city which was 100+ miles away from my family.
