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 […]
Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN! BEN AND HOLLY LIVE TICKETS UP FOR GRABS! The weather has turned, Autumn is here and the nights are drawing in… I don’t know about you but Florence, Jimmy and I need something to look forward to and that something couldn’t come in any better form than the live show of Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom! For the first time ever our favourite fairy and elf will be leaving […]
Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! The Bundle Bean (£29.99) is essentially a square of double sided material, fleece one side and waterproof material with a pocket the other. However, this one square of material turns into quite a few handy little gadgets indeed! It’s a footmuff for the buggy, car seat, bike seat or even front style sling and on top of that can be used as a play mat, blanket or a changing mat! Now, holidaying in September on the […]
Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! We used the Zoggs Miss Zoggy Bobin from Mothercare (£27.99 – available with suitability for ages 2 – 3 or 4 – 5) before we holidayed just a couple of times so that we could see if we needed it or not as it’s quite bulky with all the floats. It has 4 floats each side and as the child gets more confident you remove them symmetrically. I decided that you can never be too safe and […]
When Florence was 6 months old we went on holiday for the first time with a little one and I took the Mothercare Baby Swim Seat (£15) with me. She absolutely loved the freedom of being able to move round the pool on her own while I supervised and I knew that I would use it again for Jimmy too! We took it with us to Portugal this time and he, just like his big sister before him, relished being […]
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 […]
