 Here Comes The Sun ☼
Hip-hip hooray… that big ball of fire in the sky is the saviour of many of our mood swings - as there’s bound to be an influx of smiling faces now that the sun has come out to play.
And speaking of play, who doesn’t love camping out? You’re never too old to set up camp in the garden (or in the lounge if you don’t fancy sleeping with the creepy crawlies!). We’ve been on the hunt for the gear to turn your little ones into the happiest campers of all.
Once you’ve had enough of exploring your own turf, escape to an event with the little ones – there’s plenty happening in Surrey this month.
And do you know what the best day is this month? It's Wednesday 15 May... when our Summer issue goes on-sale. Click here to become a subscriber.
Are you on Facebook - why not keep in the loop with our Baby Surrey page?
Until next month,

 Have a Perfect Picnic
Now that the weather has decided to play a kinder hand, it's the ideal time to enjoy a family picnic. We love Nature's Finest fruit pots as they're the ideal solution for a snack-on-the-go. They pick and pack their fruit just at the right time to lock in all of its goodness. Perfectly ripe, and naturally sweet Nature’s Finest fruit in pots are great for a summer picnic or lunchbox. Packed only in juice with four great varieties the only decision you’ll need to make is which one to eat first!

 Stay Safe at the Beach
As many of us plan to make use of the sunshine by enjoying a day at the beach, it’s imperative to remember the dangers of these beautiful open spaces. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take longer than the blink of an eye for them to wander off. We highly recommend the AbsoluteID Wrist ID, a colourful silicone band that is personalised with emergency contact and medical details ensuring our little explorers always have their vital information close to hand.
