Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! We are massive Trunki fans in this house and always take ours with us when we travel. I love the fact that they are ride on toys as well as super practical and they look really cute too! My daughter is Florence Mary Lady bird so we got her the Harley Ladybird one and when I gave birth to my son Jimmy Buster Bumblebee he simply had to have Bernard Bee! (I just hope if I […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! Now, originally I was going to review the Snoozeshade Original  (£19.99) as it was the only ‘Snooze’ buggy product we hadn’t used yet but silly old me forgot to flipping pack it! I don’t know how, it was on my list but somehow the organisational skills I was trying very hard to apply were somehow failed and I made a boo boo. I will in that case review the original sometime soon on another post […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! Not being a worrier about exposing my boobs while breast feeding I don’t use a nursing cover at home but felt when abroad it might be appropriate to show a little modesty. I decided to take with me the Bebe Au Lait nursing cover (£27.99) and I’m surprised at how handy I found it but for different reasons than I initially thought I would! Now, first let me tell you about the cover. It’s light and […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! I express milk every day but going on holiday I needed a pump which was small, easy to clean and most importantly quick at expressing. I chose this one for holidaying because of the small size mainly but when I tried it out just before going, it was the short time it took me to pump a bottle which made up my mind. It is also compatible with all regular sized bottles so I […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! I knew it would be as easy to sterilise Jimmy’s dummies whilst in our villa as it is at home but I really thought I needed to have something to take out with me to the beach etc. The Milton Mini Portable Soother Steriliser seemed like the perfect answer, unfortunately it wasn’t really all that! First of all I have to say it’s a nice little idea and it does do the job whilst being easy to […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! My Mum and Jonny thought I was mad taking a travel cot with me as the villa we stayed at provided a cot. There was absolutely no way though that I was going to be swayed on the matter as I would be terribly frightened putting Jimmy on a mattress that has been used by the world and his wife! I know it might have been perfectly ok but I think you can never […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! You might think taking a buggy on holiday is nothing to think about, that you could choose any old thing and it’d do. You might even think that taking your regular big buggy is a good idea but unless your regular buggy is an umbrella fold (which of course it could be – especially if it is the one I’m about to talk about) then I would say that’s not the best idea; baggage handlers […]

I know I’m on holiday but I couldn’t let today pass without a tiny post about something very important! Today, September 6th 2012, is the first ever ‘National Safety Day’ launched by Lindam, the UK’s number one safety brand! It’s about the difference a minute can make and what we can do to prevent accidents happening in the home. There are so many hazards in the home for tiny tots to encounter from disinfectants and bleaches in cupboards to corners […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting!) This week we took a trip to see Dora the Explorer Live and had a most wonderful time! We’d seen Dora on stage at the Lollibop Festival a couple of weeks ago when she was doing some cookery demonstrations and dancing on the main stage and we knew from just those little glimpses that she would be wonderful in her very own show and we weren’t wrong! It doesn’t matter how many times we […]
