Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! As this past weekend I saw my best friend get married I thought I’d say a little bit about what she means to me. I met Eve when we were 14 years old and her family and my Mum and I had all gone on a package holiday to Tunisia for Christmas. Fate that we should all choose the same hotel perhaps or maybe it was meant to be. The friendship Eve and I […]

With Florence looking so beautiful in her bridesmaid attire we simply had to get Jimmy a gorgeous outfit to wear for my friend’s big day! He actually had a day time and an evening outfit and it was his shoes which stole the show! Crave Maternity who were my favourite maternity brand for so many reasons are going to be making beautiful baby booties in sheepskin from the new year and we were lucky enough to have been given a […]

In recent months I have become far more interested in natural products for the skin, especially for my little ones. I think it’s easy to think about the actual products we are using but what about the materials used to apply them? I’m not sure I’ve thought too much about that in the past but since my latest find I can totally see the benefits in using natural products in that area too. I’ve found the perfect sponge for a […]

Florence sometimes needs a bit of incentive and with all the lovely things we are sent to review I often decide to give them to her when she’s been particularly well-behaved. Before my friend’s wedding I showed her the new Baby born Interactive dolly by Zapf which I just know she has been itching to get her paws on for some time now! Basically Florence has been after a dolly which can cry, wee, be fed with a spoon, go […]

So, last week I was invited to the launch of the new electrical styling products by T-H-X (Total Hair Experts) which are exclusively being sold in Tesco! It was SO much fun and I got to catch up with some of my fave bloggers too! Basically we were treated to a bit of a make-over and given a master class on how to do our own hair using the new tools! I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! While we were away on holiday I realised that Jimmy totally needed to have some new and more stimulating toys. While he’s still happy to lie on his play gym and bash the toys above him he very definitely needs something to hold and move around with interesting qualities to engage his new skills, he’s almost on the move you see! He has lots of lovely (and often pink) hand me down toys from […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! Touch wood Florence has been staying most of the night in her own room. I’m sure the fact that it’s very dark outside is a major contributor as she is getting up later and later; when the sun was rising early she was up with the lark! So it helps her stay in bed by being darker outside but at the same time, like lots of children, she doesn’t want it pitch black in […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! Ever since we had our lightly coloured, expensive carpets fitted (I know, what were we thinking with small children?) I have been paranoid that things will be spilt on them. No one is allowed to wear shoes inside and on the odd occasion when this rule has been broken it has always ended badly! Jonny once didn’t take Florence’s shoes off and she’d trodden in you know what… I could have cried but thankfully it all […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! I am a dolly geek! There, I’ve said it! I had hundreds of them when I was a little girl and I never got tired of them either. From the moment my Grandma took me to buy my first Cindy (of the big-headed variety way back when she wasn’t half as pretty she is today) and ended up buying me two because I couldn’t choose between them, I have loved my dolls with a […]
