Review: Summer Infant Sit 'N Style Booster Seat

Dinner time has never been easy in our house. We have a highchair but its far too big for my tiny front room. A family member bought us the Summer Infant Sit 'N Style Booster Seat. It looked to me as though it was more for travelling and being out and about, but I thought I'd try it at home. Wow. Dinner times, well, any meal time is now so easy and E isn't right in the way of everything!! As you can see from the picture below, E is so happy when she's using the booster!

The Sit 'N Style is so handy because it folds away quite flat, so is easy to store, it has a tray, which you don't even have to use if you just need a seat for baby. There is storage space inside the underneath of the seat when the tray is down, which is handy for wipes, spoons, even a pouch of food! It has lap straps for if you have an escape artist! The whole thing is plastic so is very very easy to wipe clean! And one of my favourite things is the fact that you can strap the booster to almost any chair so baby can always eat at the table with you!!

This booster is available from many places, at a price of around £20. It can be used from around 6 months (when baby is sitting unaided) right up to when they are a toddler! E is currently 1 year old and still fits in it comfortably. Now she is getting around a little more I am looking at getting the Pop 'N Sit booster so she can use it as a reading chair and things as well!

A few of the places you can purchase  it from are:

1. https://www.dunelm.com

2. https://www.argos.co.uk

3. https://www.amazon.co.uk

I'm Not Ok... But I Think That's Ok...

Do you ever just feel not ok?

Like, every little thing in your day winds you up, or upsets you or makes you angry?

Today is one of those days for me...... I woke up this morning and I just knew... I knew today was going to be one of my 'bad days'

Nothing went wrong as such, E just kept screaming and crying, whinging constantly, she followed me everywhere, tried climbing on me every time I sat down. Eventually it got to lunch time. Cheese toasties... While I made these E got her fingers trapped in a cupboard door. Let the screaming commence. Thankfully she was ok, may just be a little bruising... But I got mad at her, she couldn't help it, she was in pain and wanted comforting... But it made me angry and I shouted at her, after all, if she'd listened to me and stay out of the kitchen she wouldn't have gotten hurt in the first place...

She's finally gone down for a nap, and I am sat here, with the front door locked, not looking at my phone, catching up on the soaps, writing this blog, with tears in my eyes. Angry at myself for getting mad at E, wondering why the hell I am feeling like this, and trying to figure out what has triggered this 'bad day'

I think we sometimes we just have days that aren't ok, the less than perfect days are the ones I hate the most, the less than perfect days are the days that get me down, but most importantly, the less than perfect days are the ones we learn from...

We learn where we could have done something slightly different, or changed the way we handled something... They're so hard to deal with and to cope with, but we need the less than perfect days, we need them just as much as the good days.

I suffer with Postnatal Depression, and although some may not see it, every day is a struggle, you may look completely happy on the outside, but the emotions you are feeling and the thoughts that are constantly running through your head are hard to deal with. You'll put on a brave face and then break down when you're alone, with no one to ask questions...

If you feel like you or someone you know may have PND or any other form of depression and anxiety, please get help, or talk to someone about it. I never wanted to admit that I needed help, but when I finally did, I was grateful for all of the professional support I received...

It's Ok
 Not To Be Ok...
Love KšŸ’–
