Joining the superheroes squad with Hallmark itty bittys - #StrongerTogether

The boys are both mad about superheroes. Their bedroom is adorned with superhero artwork and accessories, superheroes is a strong theme that runs through a lot of the toys they play with and they have a wardrobe full of superhero costumes.

Superheroes are such a predominant theme in our household that they became part of our pregnancy announcement when I was pregnant with Jelly Bean.

Birthday gift ideas for my birthday boy

It’s that time of year again. As we welcome Spring and enjoy the beauty and life that it brings with it along with upcoming Easter, my first born's birthday is fast approaching.

My beautiful boy who I remember as a little newborn as if it was yesterday, is going to be yet another year older!

He is growing up as a fun, caring, clever boy that the whole family loves and adores.

As his big birthday is imminent my thoughts of the past few weeks have been on what to get him for his birthday along with where to go for a special birthday day out. Now that he is that much older he has strong views on what he likes and wants, and has helped me out with a list of gift ideas with plenty of options so that he gets a surprise of what we get him from the list.

Stickertastic decorating – Ten Stickers.

I’ve written before about how we are slowly decorating Bug’s bedroom and making it into a cool bedroom decorated in a style inspired by the things he loves such as superheroes, cars, Minecraft, lego and animals.

Unfortunately though as we rent we are limited with how we can decorate. To add some colour and character to his walls to go along with the colourful accessories we have for the room such as themed bedding, eye-catching ornaments and vibrant storage, we have been looking at the cool stickers on Ten Stickers.

As Ten Stickers have a vast range of sticker designs and their stickers are created using the latest technology for cutting and printing on high quality vinyl material we have been looking at what awesome stickers we can get to liven up Bug’s bedroom walls.

With a HUGE love of superheroes these superhero themed wall stickers would be a huge hit with Bug who would love to have his favourite heroes watch over and protect him and his room.

A new bedroom for a new big brother.

Whilst Bug is not moving rooms since we moved to this house we have not done much to his bedroom, partly due to being restricted decorating wise as we rent as well as not needing to buy new furniture and bedroom accessories as he was happy with what he already had.

But with the impending arrival of Jelly Bean and the fact that Bug is growing up so fast, being unwavering with his tastes and likes we have decided to revive his bedroom and make it into a new bedroom perfect for a new big brother.

It may not be a 60-minute makeover, instead being a slow burner of a makeover thanks to the hecticness of family and getting ready for Jelly Bean’s arrival but below is my wishlist of furniture and bedroom accessories that I would love to get to transform Bug’s bedroom into the big boy bedroom he deserves.

Bed

As Bug is going through yet another growth spurt and is a tall boy the time has come for him to move from his cot bed to a big boy bed.

Top of our bed wishlist for Bug is the Malibu Cabin Bed Frame in Pine available from Homebase or Argos. With a plush and comfortable mattress I am sure this bed would help give Bug a peaceful night’s sleep. Plus a big bonus of the bed is the storage space underneath.

Bookworm reading corner

As Bug is a little bookworm I would love to have a lovely bookcase in his bedroom so his extensive book collection could be showcased. I would love to create a bookworm reading corner with a gorgeous Tidy Book bookcase.

I would also love an uber comfy chair from Worlds Apart such as the Ultimate Spider-Man Flocked Chair (perfect for superhero mad Bug) or a Ninja Turtles Flip Out Sofa to be in his bookworm reading corner.

Lighting

Whilst we are restricted on changing the ceiling lights I would love to add some fun and funky lighting to Bug’s new bedroom. Satisfying Bug’s admiration of Superheroes I would love to get a few Superhero themed night lights from The Glow Company such as their amazing 3D FX Marvel Lights.

Bedding

As we are restricted on decorating as well as adding colour and character to the room with furniture, lighting and posters/wall stickers I want to add a splash of colour to the room with some Superhero themed bedding. I hope to get a couple of different Superhero bedding sets to bring Bug’s new big boy bed to life, with this marvellous Marvel Avengers Duvet Cover Bedding Set with 3D Glasses from Universal Textiles.

Now all I need is some superhero powers to transform Bug’s bedroom to a superhero themed big boy bedroom perfect for the new big brother he will soon be.

Father's Day 2015 - crafting and gifting.

Having grown up without a dad I’ve never had a reason to celebrate or take note of Father’s Day. That all changed when I met Lee and we started our family. Whilst we do not go all out on Father’s Day with extravagant gifts, I’ve always helped Bug give his daddy a token of his love with a small gift.

As Bug is getting older he learning about the importance of gift giving, learning that it is kind and lovely to give gifts as well as receive them. Learning about giving gifts has meant that no day of celebration can go by without Bug wanting to give a little gift. This Father’s Day was no different he wanted to give his daddy a present.

Daddy was gifted a gorgeous handmade card from Bug. A colourful fish card made at school with a heartfelt message inside written by Bug himself.

Superhero School Uniform - #DebsDreamUniform

I’ve mentioned before when Bug made his Superfruit how much he loves superheroes. He is superhero mad. A day does not go by without me hearing the name ‘Batman’, ‘Spiderman’ or ‘Superman’ uttered by Bug and he often declares he is a superhero; being either his own unique superhero or one of his favourite superheroes or a mixture of all them rolled into one – Super-Bat-Bat (Superman and Batman), Captain-Iron-America-man (Ironman and Captain America) or another imaginative mixture of Superheroes.

He loves wearing clothes emblazoned with his favourite superheroes.

SuperFruit!! - Mighty Moments challenge Plum Baby/Tots100.

Bug is a huge fan of Superheroes.  He loves Spiderman, Batman and Superman in particular and loves nothing more than wearing a piece of clothing (or a whole outfit) with one or more Superhero emblazoned on it.  Being a fan of Superheroes he also loves to imagine that he is a Superhero…..flying along to save everyone with his cape flapping in the wind.

As Bug loves Superheroes when I heard about the Plum Baby Mighty Moments competition with Tots100 where little ones are challenged to make a healthy superhero with healthy powers, I knew he would love to get involved and be creative to make his own healthy Superhero.
