Mum We Need Some Money

Those were the words I had to utter down the phone last summer when Daddy E, Roo and myself jetted off to the USA to see Mickey and pals and indulge our inner children with a trip to Disney World Florida. For us it was a once in a lifetime holiday, something we had dreamed of doing with Roo for two years and saved hard to afford. We spent ages looking on the internet for the best deal and the most direct flights and knowing how much we love our own space we opted for a family villa with private [...] Read more »

Belvita Breakfast Biscuits

I am terrible at having breakfast in the morning. I either go from one extreme to the other of eating too much too early and then by 11am am ravenous again or forget completely and end up picking and snacking by mid morning. So when I got the opportunity to try out a selection of the Belvita Breakfast biscuits I literally bit the arm of the PR lady as I had seen these in the shops and had been meaning to try them. Generally I put myself in the camp where I am not a breakfast person, I find the idea of [...] Read more »

Win a Yoomi Feeding System

The other day I got contacted by the lovely team at Yoomi about their easi-latch bottle, warmer and pod. Now I know Roo is out of bottles but I was really intrigued to see what the system was about because I remember wanting Yoomi bottles when Roo was born but financially I just couldn’t afford them. So they very kindly sent me one of their new Yoomi feeding system kits to have a lookt at. The Yoomi Feeding system is a premium anti-colic, easi-latch bottle that comes with a travel warmer and bedside warmer in a compact design which is [...] Read more »

Smacking your child

I was doing my usual browse of newspapers and online RSS feeds this morning and stumbled across a discussion on the Daily Mail website. The discussion centred around the question ‘would you intervene if you saw a mother hitting her child.’ I was intrigued as until I was a parent I had a pretty fixed viewpoint on smacking your child. If you read the discussion there is over four pages of comments on this; some taking a really strong stance against mother’s choosing to discipline their child with a smack in public and others firmly believing that just because you [...] Read more »

I’ve got the weekend off so I am scheduling ‘me time’ in the diary!

OK I am just a little bit excited. Why? Because I’ve got the weekend off mummy duties and this means scheduling ‘me time’ into the diary which is most definitely needed. I think like most mum’s I seriously neglect myself and the whole of ‘me time’ realistically went out the window a long time ago. Most weekends prior to Roo being born were spent at the beauty salon having a treatment, and Daddy E and I would take long lunches or dinners out and lazy Sunday’s in our jammies drinking coffee. Now, the closest I get to the beauty salon is Roo’s [...] Read more »
