As you know I flew down to London on Wednesday night and after spending an evening catching up with my brother and sister-in-law, on Thursday morning I braved the Central Line at rush hour to head into the city for a very exciting event.

I was absolutely delighted when the lovely people at Lindam Munchkin asked me to be on their blogger panel a month or so ago. And I was even more delighted when I found out that meant I would get to go to London for a launch event to meet the people behind these fabulous brands, and the other bloggers on the panel! I had heard of both Lindam and Munchkin before – they are both leading brands in their areas and I was looking forward to seeing some more of their products in the flesh. I wasn’t disappointed. When we arrived at the venue there were loads of Munchkin’s colourful feeding, teething and bathing products to get our hands on, along with some of the home safety products which Lindam is so well known for.

We were treated to a delicious brunch (which had given rise to the #MunchBrunch hashtag on Twitter!), all served on Munchkin toddler plates and cutlery, while we got to know each other and find out a bit more about what we will be doing as part of this blogger panel. It really was a fantastic morning – as well as seeing all the great products (and getting a fabulous goodie bag to bring home!) it’s always lovely to meet people in person when you have only chatted to them online or read their blog before. (And I did manage a sneaky milkshake from Ed’s Easy Diner with Donna from Redhead Babyled after the event!)

You’ll be hearing plenty more from me about Munchkin and Lindam in the future, and we’ll be bringing you reviews of some of their innovative products. But in the meantime, here’s a picture of Toby enjoying his new teething toy for you all.
