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 […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! Florence hasn’t been particularly interested in playing board games before now but very recently has shown a big interest in us all playing something together which is lovely and a board game is just the ticket. Playing board games is something I love doing, it’s traditional and friendly, involves no technology and it reminds me of my own child hood. In fact it reminds me of my adult hood too! Call me a geek […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! Now we’re home from holiday and back into our usual routine I’m very much in the holiday blues mode! It doesn’t help that the weather has turned autumnal bordering wintry and London looks grayer and duller than it has in months… But hey, at least we’ve had a holiday and been lucky enough to have enjoyed it very much! And a girl can dream of one day having enough money to just go off […]
