This love of Disney is already being passed on to Alby.He has to listen to our sing along to Disney songs most days in the car. To keep this love of Disney going in our .Alby has been treated recently by the lovely people over at Rainbow designs to a baby Mickey mouse activity toy.

Gummee Glove teething mitten: review
Alby has starting teething !! he is only 12 weeks old but already I can tell his going to suffer with his teeth. Now Ava was fine with teething to be honest half the time I didn’t know she was teething. Her first tooth came though and i didn’t even realise until I was changing her nappy and was able to see into her mouth. This I know wont be the case with Alby, he has become very clingy at the moment . He is dribbling ;

How I reduced food waste in our house #tastewithoutwaste
This is a collaborative post I have recently been looking at how much how much food we waste in our house. We never really used to have a plan for what we were cooking for the month. We would just buy things and hope for the best this resulted in a lot of things going in the bin. Mainly because we didn’t eat them before the dates were up. So not only were we wasting a lot of food it resulted in us wasting a lot of money. We have recently teamed up with the #tastewithoutwaste campaign, to share ways that we started to reduce the amount of food waste…

Blog birthday: 2 years on what have I learned and what have I achieved
Wow well I wasn’t sure this day was going to come if I’m honest. I started my blog as many of you may know when I was on maternity leave with Ava.She was only a few weeks old and already I was staring to feel lonely and if I’m honest bored of being at home on my own. It wasn’t till I met up with Faye from Glossytots that I first learnt what a blog was really. So I owe it all to Faye really the reason to why this blog actually started. She whatsapped me step by step instructions of how to set up a blog on Blogger. What…

3 easy craft peacock designs to do with children of all ages
As you probably have noticed by now I’m a Bostik blogger thanks to Tots 100. Last month we did some Easter creations . This months theme is flight be it birds or planes. Well Ava has become very interested in animals trying to copying all the different animal sounds. So I thought that birds would be the way to go.

So using this new-found interest in animals and the fascination for peacocks .I thought it would be fun to create some peacocks. They are really easy to do and can be done…

Guardianfix 3 from Kiddy : review
For the past few weeks now we have been trying out the Guardianfix 3 from Kiddy . This is like no car seat we have ever used before as it has a safety shield and not a harness. so it has taken Ava some time to get used to it. Safety features Now when I first saw these car seats I was intrigued by the safety shield aspect. I had a look into how safe this car seat was. As you can never be too careful when it comes to the safety of your child. The Guardianfix 3 complies with all the latest safety standards for infant and children’s car…

Baby bottles now there are loads of different ones on the market these days. Which one do you go for it can be so confusing and all you want to do is do right by your little one. Well the last couple of weeks we have been trying out the Twistshake anti colic bottle. We haven’t used this bottle with Alby before . So i was a little concerned he wouldn’t take to it as its a little different to his normal bottle. But we had no problems at all Alby drank from his Twistshake bottle like he would his normal bottle. In fact we have been finding with his…

Now I very rarely buy myself new clothes. Some of my clothes I have had in my wardrobe for years. Now I have had Alby and I’m getting to the weight I’m happy with . I am ditching the old tried clothes and giving my wardrobe a make over. I need practical clothes for everyday that aren’t boring and mummy something that looks nice and I feel nice wearing.

Treat yourself and your skin to Templespa
Now I’m rubbish at looking after my skin. I throw on some makeup in the morning and then wash what ever is left off with a baby wipe before I go to bed. For as long as I can remember I have felt self-conscious about my skin. At times i can have bad break outs and most of the time I have black heads . That’s not to mention the massive black bags I have under my eyes. This isn’t all because of children I have had these dark circles for as long as I can remember. Recently I have been feeling a little down about my skin . Thankfully…

The reason i have upped the amount of arts and crafts we do
This is a collaborative post with Lions Home. You may have seen recently I have upped my game with doing arts and crafts. This is mainly because of mom gilt I’m not going to lie. I do love doing crafts with Ava but I have mainly started to do more so she feels like she still has time with me. As with Alby coming along she has had to learn quickly that she has to share us. Also she has had to learn that I cannot do things as soon as she has asked. This is one of the biggest thing for her to adapt to. Before Alby she would…

What to pack in your hospital bag if you have a caesarean
Now with both Ava and Alby I didn’t know I was going to have a caesarean so I didn’t really pack all the things I needed. When you are having a Caesarean the things you need afterwards maybe a little different. So if I was to do it all again I would make sure I packed my bag just in case I ended up having a C section. ( By the way no more babies are in the future two is more than enough for me!). It doesn’t have to be a bag you take with you right away but a bag that your other half can pick up when…

Valentines gift guide
Now me and Jordan don’t really do Valentines day, were not ones to buy a cute teddy with our faces on. That’s just not us and it never has been. The more and more I talk to people about Valentines day the more I realise people do actually celebrate it. Which if I’m honest really surprised me. The thing I did notice when talking to people was that they weren’t really buying the cute gifts that we may associate with Valentines day. It more things like a nice bubble bath to have a kid free bath. Or treats to eat that the kids are not allowed to know exists otherwise…
