We’ve just had one of those weekends where nothing has really happened but we’ve spent a lot of money. I had a tooth out, we got an imprint of Little Sis’s hand and foot prints, a lovely lunch out, the weekly food shop, all pretty mundane really. What we should have been doing is getting…
The day I met Paula Radcliffe
Blogging has it’s perks and the best event of the year so far was the invite for me and Little Sis to meet Paula Radcliffe. I have photographic evidence: Yes she is tiny and I am huge but doesn’t Little Sis look pretty?! Moving on…. We were there to celebrate Pampers who have teamed up…
The shelf of many handbags
Now as you may know I’ve been having a good clear out lately, partly due to my excessive hoarding of clothes and because we want to move house this year. Most of my shelves were piled high with maternity and old work clothes so they’ve all been bagged up and donated to charity. Unfortunately it…
Ecoegg giveaway: save the environment and money!
Ever keen to do our bit for the environment, save money and see if I can ease the kids’ eczema, over the last few weeks we’ve been trying out the ecoegg. The ecoegg claims to wash your clothes effectively without using washing powder or liquid. The ecoegg is about three times the size of a…
Our Febreze Mini Fresh Haven
Do you remember last month I told you about the P&G Capital Clean Up? I’m excited to be playing a very small part in making London a fresher, greener place by nurturing and naming a plant which might be added to one of our local Febreze Fresh Havens at Pinemartin Activity Park or the Whittington…
Does my child need vitamin supplements?
I received a press release saying that as of 1st April, Asda Pharmacy (in 218 Asda stores) will be giving out free Vitamin D to children above the age of 3. Apparently recent advice from the Chief Medical Officer has suggested that all high-risk groups (including children under 5) should take the supplement to top…
Mini micro 3in1 scooter
We’ve just come back from a lovely week away visiting family. We’re fortunate that the grandparents live by the sea in Devon and the Isle of Wight so there’s no excuse for not getting plenty of fresh air and exercise when we visit. One of the things we packed this time was Big Brother’s mini…
Competitive mums
Like a scab that can’t be left alone I follow someone on twitter that I shouldn’t. We are complete opposites but we are both mothers. She does nothing but boast about her child. To be fair she works hard to give him the best. He goes to a good nursery, has his name down for…
Win a yoomi self warming bottle
Last year we were sent a yoomi bottle to try with Big Brother. We got on really well and couldn’t wait to use it with Little Sis too. I have to be honest and say I didn’t use it for the first couple of weeks. I was in a total newborn haze and struggling with…
