Bump and Me plus Three

Hi sorry I've not been around much, I have been so busy being a mum I haven't had much time for anything else this year.  Bump is 13 months old now, the time has flown by, he's walking and a right little handful always getting up to mischief. I have also been working on a new blog, you can check it out here  www.moneysavingminx.blogspot.com  there's lots of offers and discount codes on there plus a competiton to win an Amazon voucher. Would be great if you stopped by and said hello.

Yes I know its already the 10 January, hasn't it gone quick.  I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year.  Its been one thing after another here with everyone having some sort of illness since before Christmas, roll on springtime. If any of you are trying to give up smoking for your resolution then be sure to check out my review of The Aspire Premium E cig. I will be back soon with more news and reviews plus hopefully some new giveaways.

New year means New Years resolutions with one of the most common being giving up smoking.  Any one who has tried knows how hard it can be, I myself have given up several times and have lasted up to two years smoke free but always end up going back. More and more people are using E cigarettes now, I have been wanting to try one for a while now and was sent the Aspire Premium kit just before Christmas to try out and review. I was sent the kit containing everything you need to get started plus a bottle of e-liquid. The model I received is the CF VV+ high end vaping power system. Features include stainless steel end points, metal button, carbon fibre coated tube and voltage change. The manual was easy to read with clear instructions on how to put it together and use. I really like the quality and  sleek design of it you can tell it has been well made and designed, I love the feature of being able to change the voltage (3.3, 3.8, 4.3, 4.8) and is changed by just twisting the bo...

A couple of weeks ago I was kindly sent a copy of The First Hippo On The Moon by David Williams. Me and my children had yet to read any of his books so we were really looking forward to receiving it. It is a lovely story about you guessed it two hippos and their quest to get to the moon. I dont want to ruin it by telling you the story as what would be the fun in that. The book itself comes in a hard cover which I love for childrens books it makes them easier to hold and read together. It is a great big book size too. The illustrations by Tony Ross are amazing so bright and colourful with easy to read stand out writing. My two middle daughters who are 4 and 5 have been really enjoying reading this with me.  They love the fact its a new and creative story something they have never read before. I am definately going to be looking at the rest of David Walliams books for children. This book is available to buy from amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0007494009?ta...

 Halloween is gone, bonfire night is over and now it's all about the run up to Christmas. If your looking for some new decorations then head on over to the Christmas Boutique where they have everything you will need to make your house sparkle this Christmas. I was recently sent a box of goodies to review from The Christmas Boutique I have to be honest I haven't bought any new decorations for years however I knew I would have to this year as we somehow lost all our decorations and tree when we moved.  So I was really pleased to have been giving the opportunity to review for them. So inside my box I had A huge Santa sack, no Christmas is complete without one of these right? It's lovely and very well made. Next from my box was Mr & Mrs holiday Frog bauble tree decorations. These are so adorable and unusual I've never seen anything like these before but I love them and so do the kids. Next out was These hanging glass pine cones, very shi...

I recently received a copy of Easy Indian SuperMeals by Zainab Jagot Ahmed. I was really looking forward to receiving this as I am currently weaning bump and wanted new ideas.  As I mentioned in my weaning post I've stuck to the convenience  of jars of baby food and rusks to wean the girls, I really wanted to try different stuff with bump, and I did buy a blender which I have hardly used except for a few puréed veg. I was pleasantly surprised when the book arrived as I hadn't been expecting much just a book of purée recipes but it is so much more than that.    The book is for stage 2 weaning (7 months plus)  threw to 5+. There is lots of detail about super foods and super spices plus a handy table of super spices which are suitable for babies. It Also contains  lots of information on fruit and vegetable super foods. A getting starting guide is included as well as a list of foods to avoid. The recipes are separated into differen...
