Guest Post: Laser Eye Surgery What to Consider

I’ve luckily got good eyes but my brother a few years back was considering laser eye surgery to correct his vision. In the end he opted against it as it was fairly new on the market then and we couldn’t find a lot of information about pros, cons and things to be aware of. Nowadays there is a whole encyclopaedia on the different types of treatment available and how laser eye surgery can help. I was approached to run this guest post and hope that anyone considering laser eye surgery finds it a useful starting point. For me personally the [...] Read more »

Sebamed Baby Products Review

I’ve been pretty lucky with Roo in that she has rarely had skin problems or suffered with sensitive skin, but that doesn’t mean I am not careful about what I put in her bath every night and the shampoo I use on her hair. I’ve always looked for products that are kind to skin and as close to the natural PH of her skin as possible so as to avoid drying out. So when I was asked to try the range of Sebamed baby products which have a natural PH of 5.5 I wanted to see how they stacked up [...] Read more »

Fun Gifts for Christmas

We have a thing in my family where we buy a quirky useful gift every year for each of us; last year my mum bought me a spaghetti measurer, incredibly random but equally useful in a strange way.

The Presents for Men is full of well erm, presents for men from gadgets to kitsch gifts if it can be made to make [...] Read more »

Top 25 European Mommy Bloggers Award with Circle of Moms

There’s been a fair bit in the blogging community in the last week about awards, stats and being recognised for what you do. Some people agree with it and love the whole award thing and others seem to be of the opinion that it’s a way for the elitist bloggers to be singled out and rewarded and others forgotten. I am not particularly in either category, I don’t mind awards I just don’t have the time to fill out endless entry forms and am actually not very good at blowing my own trumpet. So when I received an email informing [...] Read more »

Sainsbury’s Halloween Costume Review

It’s funny but I’ve never been a massive fan of Halloween. I got spooked as a kid, can’t watch scary movies and find the whole idea of dressing up and knocking on doors for sweets a bit of a contradiction in terms to everything we tell our kids not to do. However, when you become a parent you kind of have to put your own insecurities aside and enter into the spirit of these commercial holidays for the sake of your kids. This is the first year that Roo has shown an interest in Halloween and so when we were [...] Read more »

Fabulous Craft Boxes for Kids from The Busy Box

There appears to be craft fever going on in our house at the moment, it may be the dismal weather and the fact we’re spending more time indoors and I have three hours every morning to fill but Roo and I have definitely embarked on a new love affair with craft boxes of late and recently we were sent a Halloween craft box from The Busy Box company to try out and flex our craft skills with. The Busy Box provides craft boxes for kids covering a range of theme. Katy who runs The Busy Box ensures that each of [...] Read more »
