    Scooting Around

    It’s horrible being on a tight budget. It means we can’t afford to take our boys out places that often. Thomas doesn’t mind though, as long as he has his scooter and the weathers ok he’s fine. We spend a lot of time outside scooting around, even in this cold weather, just wrap up warm and we’re ready to go. Going all over for some fresh air, on hills I pull him with his Scoot’n’Pull and everywhere else he does it himself. I think Thomas likes the independence of being able to choose where we go and enjoys telling me, ‘left mum’ ‘right mum’ After his ride on his scooter…

    Jewelfone Passion

    I’m always listening to music on my phone but hate the ugly generic earphones you get with the phone. The plain style, no imagination at all. That’s where Jewelfone come in. Jewelfones are earphones with imagination, with sparkle, with style. The earphones for style-concious girls. They are made from high quality earphone that can also be converted to a necklace giving you all the flexibility you need whilst on the go.  I was lucky to be given a chance to review a pair of Jewelfones. I received the Passion style. Passion Jewelfones have small pink and silver pearls covering the wire with a gem encrusted heart shaped ear piece making it great for…

    SKEANIE Shoes

    Finding shoes for young children can be a challenge. We all want smart shoes that are comfortable but most brands seem to be either one or the other. SKEANIE shoes are the brain child of Natasha Barber, and Australian mum of 2. She wanted to create a soft soled shoe made from high quality leather that not only are stylish but are also eco-friendly as they are made from offcuts of leather. Since SKEANIE launched not have they been highly rated by mums but by podiatrists and paediatricians too. SKEANIE shoes have been designed to protect and nurture little feet and all products are Fair Trade. I first became aware of SKEANIE shoes from…

    I’m forever washing clothes. With having 2 young boys, the loading and unloading of the washing machine seems never ending. There’s always something covered in jam, mud, or body fluids, eurgh!

    Aldi Children’s Baking Set

    Thomas loves baking so when Aldi asked if we wanted to review a baking set over the holidays we agreed. The set includes everything needed all in smaller sizes, perfect for children’s small hands. Including, bowl, spoon, whisk, jug, sieve and much more, everything you’ll need for making buns, cakes or biscuits. We’ve tried making a few different things, buns, muffins and even cookies. We are trying to find a ginger biscuit recipe at the moment which is proving difficult. One that is child friendly and easy to do so that we can use the shape cutters. I’m sure we will use them in due course though. The measuring spoons may be…

    Visionary Soap Company

    I like to buy Fairtrade products and Visionary Soap was one of the first companies to launch fairtrade beauty products supporting their producers and suppliers. All their products have been certified with international fairtrade standards.  Their products don’t contain synthetic dye or fragrances, alcohol or animal products, they are quite simply made from butters, vegetable oils, essential oils and botanicals.  Visionary Soap kindly sent us a few of their products to try out and give our opinions on. We received: Lemongrass bath melt Using this in the bath was so relaxing. They seemed to ooze moisture into the bath and made my skin feel so soft. Each bath melt can be used twice and are extremely moisturising.  The…

    Macadamia Natural Oil

    Everyone knows that nuts are good for you but did you know that they are good for your hair too? The natural ingredients in macadamia nut oil and argan seed oil helps the hair heal whilst also nourishing it and revitalising even the most driest hair. I have been in desperate need of some hair treatment. For years I have dyed my hair, making it dry and very brittle. I only ever coloured my hair for self-confidence. Having a dull blonde colour means that in summer the sun would lighten my hair to a grey colour which I hated. At about 15 years old I started colouring my hair lighter to give me a…
