A party with a theme seems a lot more personal than one without doesn’t it?  In the past H has enjoyed birthdays themed around Pokemon (last year) or Octanauts (when he was 4 I think).  Those years he was particularly into those with Pokemon Go being the big hit in 2016 and 2017.  Octonauts was very popular for several years and to be honest he’d happily watch an episode even now at 11 years of age. He’s always appreciated me making that extra effort, but as a busy mum it’s always helpful I’ve found, to have somewhere that you can source the things you need, all the better if you can it in one place or just buy a pack that includes everything you need.  Party bags in particular can be time-consuming if you have to source the individual contents as well as the bag itself and it’s much nicer if the bag has a theme running through it too.

I’ve teamed up with Party Bags and Supplies for a new competition for my readers.  They sell a wide range of party packs with all kinds of different themes from specific films like Frozen, or TV programmes like In The Night Garden, or animal focused like Dino Blast.  There is something there to please just about everybody.  If you’d like to win an item from this page on the Party Bags and Supplies site, enter via the Gleam widget below.

There seems to be another dose of colds doing the rounds at the moment.  H is full of cold and so were the friends he saw yesterday.  Breathing, especially at night, can be difficult so what better way to soothe and comfort little ones’ breathing than with the aromas of natural pine, thymol and menthol? I’ve teamed up with Klear-vol who have a solution to this difficult problem helping families get good night’s rest during the cold season with their range of soothing inhalation vapour capsules for children.

Suitable for both day and night time use, and from age 3 months upwards, Klear-vol combines a complimentary blend of beneficial aromatic extracts including natural pine, thymol and menthol oils all encapsulated in soft gelatin capsules.

When released these vapours provide long-lasting comfort over several hours, so parents can worry less and everyone can get a better night’s rest.
