    Week 39/40 Pregnancy Update: OMG, I'm Having a Baby!

    Being pregnant with your first baby is a totally different thing to when you are pregnant with your second, third, forth baby. Your first baby is about finding out all these things about pregnancy, learning as you go, admiring every second and dreaming about that little person that you get when it’s all over.  When you already have children, it is totally different. You have done it all before so in a way, you are just working through the motions. The sickness, 12 week scan, feeling baby move for the first time, 20 week scan and finding out the gender, kicks getting harder, heartburn and then labour.  I’ve followed this…

    Baby and Toddler Event at Asda

    It’s come to that time again wher Asda have their Baby and Toddler Event. The event that any parent looks out for and that mums to be can stock pile everything ready for their babies arrival.  I love these events as it means that I can get some great deals on things that I was already going to buy. That’s why I always wait for these events to come up before I start to collect things. Namely, baby bottles because, as always, the fab Tommee Tippee bottles are in the event for only £9.81 for a pack of 6. What’s more, this includes the coloured ones too which are just…

    Aldi Baby & Toddler Range

    I’m sure you all know by now, that I am due my baby this week, on Friday in fact, so when I see that a supermarket is having a baby & toddler event, I make it my mission to pop in and see what deals they have on offer for me to stock up on.  This week is the turn of Aldi, whose Baby & Toddler range goes on sale on the 29th January and we have been lucky enough to be sent out some of the range to try out before the range goes live, and I can tell you now, they have some fab items coming up, perfect for…

    Cosatto Ooba Duck Egg Travel System – Initial Thoughts

    A few weeks back I was privileged to be invited to the Cosatto SS15 Press Event at their HQ in Bolton (you can tea about my day here). Being a mummy to be, I was excited to have a sneak peek at their new designs as ranges and it was great to test out and have a go at the pushchairs before I decided on which one I wanted for bump. After much thought, and loads of deliberation, I just had to go for the Cosatto Ooba in Duck Egg. I mean, it just oozes style and prettiness, whilst being sturdy and so practical. The Cosatto Ooba is the cream…

    Baby Wear from House of Fraser

    I’m sure everyone has heard of House of Fraser, the department store that is probably the most sought after place to go when you are wanting to buy designer brands and splash the cash. Not only do they offer gorgeous fashion for men and women, but they do fabulous children’s ranges too.  When I was offered to try and find a baby outfit for £30, I assumed that this would be a challenge. I mean, even children’s brands can be expensive sometimes, so I wasn’t expecting much to be honest. But I was wrong and managed to do quite well within the budget since they have some great kids and baby…

    Week 37 Pregnancy Update

    I know, I know, I forgot to update you all with how my scan went last week. (You can read about why I was having a scan here) but I have just been mega busy this week with Thomas going back to school, Charlie starting nursery and sorting everything out in the babies room, ready for him.  Anyway, last Friday I went into hospital for a further growth scan. I was exactly 36 weeks then and bubs was estimated at weighing around 6lb 1oz, not a bad size really. But since my growth charts are based on the fact that both, Thomas and Charlie, were big babies, he is measuring…

    Chuggington Brewster’s Big Build Adventure Set

    Being an Official Tomy Blogger, I am lucky enough to receive some of their brand new toys to review and trial. Not only is this a privilege to do, but the boys love it too, obviously, as it means that they are gifted toys from their favourites ranges, and this time, that is Chuggington.  The Chuggington Stack Track range is huge. A plethora of tracks that can all be built separately to create their own little set, or can be built together to create new tracks, vast tracks that can be built outwards or upwards for extra speedy fun.  We have been lucky to receive the Brewster’s Big Build Adventure…

    36 Week Pregnancy Update

    So, today I hit the 36 week mark. Only 4 weeks left till my due date and soon, bump should arrive to meet us all and have cuddles.  This week has been great Christmas-wise and spending time with the family, but bad in the pregnancy stakes as my midwife appointment, again threw up some problems which needed checking out.  First of all, even though I had a growth scan 2 weeks ago, my bump is measuring smaller than it should be and is now crossing over a percentile line and I need to go for a scan again to check that he is growing okay. My scan is this afternoon…

    Christmas Time Means Family Time

    Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I love every aspect of it. Collecting presents through the year, wrapping, bowing, decorating, glitter, Christmas crafts, opening presents, oh and of course the food.  After all the present and decorating, Christmas finally begins for us on Christmas Eve. The boys get a cute parcel of treats (all Christmas based) with treats and craft items, a letter from Santa confirming that they’re on the Nice List and a magic key which gets placed on our tree so that Santa can enter our house, we don’t have a chimney you see. Reindeer food is sprinkled in our garden, all the way up the…
