Dribble Bubbs Cute Practical Baby Wear

We were lucky enough to be chosen as a brand ambassador for Dribble Bubbs, first let me tell you a bit about the brand Dribble Bubbs it is a family run and owned business that was established in 2005, so has been around for over 10 years now the brand and clothing have won multiple awards for its clothing and are currently the only brand still on the market to feature our triple layer protection built into their clothing & accessories.

The first thing I'm going to show you from there collection is the cosy grow and there snuggle suit,

The cosy gro is aimed at the younger babies so they come in 0-3 and 3-6 months with built-in in scratch mittens then the bigger suits that do up to 12 months have the grippy feet the bay grows are all 100% cotton they all have nickel free poppers they all have cow print knee patches and botty pads apart from the fact that this is where baby grows all ways get a lot of wear and tear the botty patch is also absorbent and waterproof to help in case they have the nappy leaks. The cosy grow comes in three bright vibrant colours and the sizing is quite generous. The girls have worn this multiple times now and I have washed and tumbled dried them both they don't seem to have shrunk at all which is usually a problem with basic baby grows and they have not lost their colour or faded I love them they are comfortable and very practical not to mention that they look great on!

The Snuggle suit is made for toddlers these have all the same sort of features as the cosy grow except the knee pads have a double layer the feet have non slip grippy feet which their toes can either be left out or they can be folded over to keep their feet warm. the snuggle suit has an easy glide zip so your child should be able to pull it up themselves, The botty patch is absorbent and waterproof to aid potty training. Again the snuggle suit comes in three vibrant colours the snuggle suit is really well made and is quite thick in the material so will keep your little one warm, this suit also hasn't gone dull or shrunk in the wash and tumble dryer my two-year-old is really big for his age and quite chunky but this suit fit him really well again the size is really generous Jack absolutely loved the cow print on it as well and proceeded to pretend to be a cow once he had it on which was really cute!

The Snuggle suit is priced at £15.00 and the cosy grow is priced at £11.00 which I think is an amazing price considering how much use that you will get out of them not only that but they are really great quality clothing both items get a big thumbs up from myself Jack and the twins we have some more reviews coming including some of the other items from Dribble Bubbs so keep your eye out for them if you would like to have a look at their shop you can do this here

Last week I told you all about us becoming bloggers for Ben and holly's Little kingdom, This week we have tried out some of the recipe's from Nanny Plums magical cookbook and also added some extras of our own to have our very own magical elf and fairy party.





We made the magic fairy cakes and turned them into mushrooms -

• 100g soft butter 
• 100g self raising flour 
• tsp vanilla extract 
• 2 eggs, beaten

• jam and 12 cake cases

Method;

1. Preheat the oven to 180oC or gas mark 4. 
2. Mix the butter and sugar together until soft and fluffy. Now stir in the eggs a little at a time.
3. Sift the flour, then slowly stir it into the mixture. When it has all been added, divide the mixture between the cake cases.
4. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the cakes are golden and firm. Allow them to cool.
5. cut a small hole in the top of your cakes and fill the space with your favourite jam.
6. Then cover it up with a piece of cake.
7. Now decorate your cakes however you like, we decided to turn ours into mushrooms and also made some butterfly cakes with some butter icing as well as some hidden jam.

We also made some Gaston the ladybird biscuits, we made our own very simple sweeter version but on the website there is an idea for a savoury ladybird snacks.

Ingredients; 

• Chocolate Digestive biscuits
• Butter cream 
• strawberries 
• white icing 
• dark icing pen

Method;

1. Spread the butter icing on to the biscuit.
2. Halve and quarter the strawberries and place the quarters onto the biscuit so it looks like the ladybird wings are open.
3. use a round cutter to make a round piece for the ladybirds head if you don't have a cutter simply just use a knife.
4. Using the white icing make two round circles on its head for the eyes.
5. Then using the dark icing pen make the dots for the ladybirds spots and give the eyes two dots in the middle of the white icing to complete Gaston! 
6. keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

  We also made some magical fairy wands and some heart shaped biscuits

 Ingredients; 

• 100g butter.
• 60g golden caster sugar.
• 100g plain flour.
• 60g fine semolina.
• sugar to sprinkle.

Method;

1. Pre-heat the oven 150C/300F/gas mark 2.
2. Put the butter and sugar into a bowl, mix them together until they make a smooth paste.
3. Sift the flour into the bowl.
4. Add the semolina then stir the mixture well
5. When the mixture wont stir anymore use your hands and knead it, the dough will be ready when there are no bits left on the side of the bowl.
6. Sprinkle the top with flour so the dough don't stick to the side then roll it out with the rolling pin.
7. Use you biscuit cutter to cut the dough in to shapes.
8. Lay shapes onto a baking tray lined with grease proof paper.
9. Bake the biscuits for 18-20 minutes.
10. Then remove from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool.
11. now is the fun part decorate them anyway you would like you can be as creative as possible the children will love it.
12. To get the sticks inside the biscuits use a sharp skewer or cocktail stick to make the hole.
