COOL BUBBAS I Pampers Fresh Clean Baby Wipes

NEW: Pampers Fresh Clean Baby Wipes The claim is “Bath like clean for a fresh feeling” Fresh...Fresh...Exciting, it’s so inviting to me...(ok, I'll stop singing now). Could these NEW wipes really allow us to skip the morning bath (post play-dough porridge) for a quick and easy exit out of the house? Baby Led Weaning (BLW) - the practice where your little lovely feeds...

SAVVY MUMMAS | Grab some deals at the Tesco baby event

For those mums who didn't know, there's a Tesco baby event on until 5 August. If, like me, you're a fan of the Tesco Loves Baby nappies and wipes, it's a great time to stock up (although I got my daughter to do her first potty poo today so maybe I won't need them for much longer!) There's also Aptimil for age 1-2...

HOT MUMMAS | Avoiding that hot weather stink with some cheap smells

It's hot. And with the best of intentions even those of us with high standards of hygiene can get sweaty and, yes, even a bit stinky at times. (Though not as stinky as some people on the tube .. you know who you are!) I suppose I should just be topping up on deodorant, but have you seen the price of it these...

SAVVY MUMMAS I ASDA NAPPIES

Thirty nappies for £3.00 you say? Oh yes please. Hello Asda's little angels range. Let's be honest, it ain't no designer nappy show when your salary's gone from Woo! to Whoah! I've often searched about for bargains (like recently) when I did my Ocado shop. They had a three for two offer, and I managed to get something like 90 nappies for £12...

HOT MUMMAS I Kiehls Over

My skin is seriously fed up with baby wipes now, and perhaps forking out more than £1 on primark 2-4-1 drying face wipes, or borrowing the little 'uns bum wipes has to stop. Now, this particular item has been around for 'ears, and I'm embarrassed to say that I've never tried it (having been in the beauty industry for 7!) it's called: Kiehls...

COOL MUMMAS I WOODEN FLOOR PROBLEMS

Apologies for the short hiatus, we've got a crawler on our hands! And as you well know, it's all over now. Having a house full of wooden floors, sore knees and bruises-a-plenty are standard, but a little shop on Amazon put paid to that. I popped a pic of my purchase on Instagram - and roused a little interest in my colourful little...

COOL BUBBAS I No more lost baby socks with Sock ons

If you haven't heard of Sock ons, they are an essential must-have item for any new Mum's shopping list. Babies just can't keep their little socks on with all the constant wriggling about, and Sock ons are the perfect solution. Just bung them over the top of any sock and they won't budge a millimetre! Amaze! They come in tons of lovely colours...

GLUM MUMS I Motherhood. Exhaustion and comfort eating- the vicious cycle

As Mum to a demanding toddler and a hungry breastfed 6 month old (who wakes several times a night to feed), my exhaustion has reached new levels the last few weeks. My breastfeeding hormones are also making me feel like I have constant morning sickness. I have unfortunately sought solace in comfort foods which is obviously not helping in the vicious cycle of...

HOT MUMMAS | The eyes have it

Writing this blog means I have to try and stay current by reading all kinds of nonsense on the internet, which includes the Daily Mail among other rags. Today I happened across this old article in the DM about what first attracts a man to a woman. Apparently, according to unspecified research, it's our eyes. You can read the article here. Now, I...

COOL MUMMAS I Galt Toys Farm Playnest

There gets a point in baby's life, when nothing entertains him for long. It's a case of musical chairs, moving him from the high-chair to the Jumparoo, to the mat - it's relentless. Not in every babies case, but certainly my one who is 7-months. So when I stumbled across the Galt Play Ring, at would you believe it, a church fete. I...

COOL MUMMAS I HAUCK DREAM & PLAY TRAVEL COT

Just recently I started letting the little man stay with both nannies. Now 7 months, I finally felt brave enough to hand him over. But having got him into some kind of sleep routine in his big boys cot, I was petrified to break this. After all, a well rested baby is a happy baby, right? I'd recently been made aware of a fab...
