Entertaining Baby Fisher Price Rainforest Mobile £54,99 As my baby is currently five months old and he is my second I thought I would share with the you the items that I most use. These are items that he uses the most and that can entertain him as sometimes I also have to share my time with my three year old. All these items are Fisher Price the Rainforest collection except for the Chad Valley plainest ring. I have found the rainforest collection to be brilliant. I used the mobile for me eldest son and he sleeps through the night. I am sure this has something to do with the noise that the mobile makes. Its soothing rainforest sounds, it also has lights as he got older he would press the light when he woke up. And the movement of the hanging animals helped to send him off to sleep. I nursed both my sons so it helped me to teach them to fall asleep on their own rather than on me. As he is five months old and I am just starting to put him down at similar times of each day. I feed him...

Birthday Ideas For Toddlers Now that my son is three I thought it would be helpful to other parents to see what is a good idea to get for each birthday or stage of development. Some things you buy are a waste of time and I found for my son that the ball pit was something we never really go much use out of. The toys I am showing we still use now three years later! 1st Birthday Present Ideas Ride On Toy For my sons first birthday we decided to get him a ride on toy and it was the best toy we could of got for him. He is now three and still plays on it as does his friends when they come. I would never have thought we would have got three years out of it! And it was not a very pricey toy. There are some ride on cars that are slightly smaller which is better for a one year old. We got this thomas one from argos and it encourages them to use there hands and feet. Honestly a great first birthday gift! My son also has an obsession with henry the hoover! So we recently got him the ...

We have just finished doing our family bathroom which I will be showing soon. I wanted to share these great buys from B and M they are both for my bathroom. The sign was only £1,99 and I love it! The candle holder fits a tea light and looks so glitzy in the bathroom. This was only around £3! Sometimes the final touches make a real difference! The lavender pot was also from the store and cost £3,99 I purchased this dresser from gumtree, which here in England is a second hand website. I was just browsing when I saw this and thought it would be perfect in our kitchen once we have finished all the work on it. Its painted in Annie Sloan paint and has new handles. I am really happy with it!

Before I share a blog post on my bathroom I thought I would share a post on my current product nightime routine. In the morning I do not have as much time so at night is when I like to properly care for my skin which is a dry skin type. The condition is sensitive this happened after having my two sons, my whole skincare range had to change after pregnancy. I like to use a cream cleanser that is very light in texture as if the cleanser is too thick in texture I do not feel clean. The foaming cleansers are good for the morning but I am a dry skin type so I don't really get on with these.  Next I use a toner and you should not use a toner which contains alcohol as this is very ageing for the skin. So due to all this I am loving the Clarins cleanser and toner, the toner is Cammomile and very gentle toner even for very sensitive skin. The cleansing milk is light in texture and great for a dry and sensitive skin. It feels very soothing on the skin. I apply these with cotton wool, ...

By painting  some items in the home you can really transform the way that they look and bring an old pice of furniture a new life! Above I have used Crown Antique Cream to change and transform this dresser. I first started painting my garden furniture as I wanted to brighten up the garden and the table and chairs were looking quite tired. We do not get much sun here in England so its nice to add some extra colour with this paint. I did two coats of this colour by Cuprinol in Coastal Mist. Im so happy with the colour it feels very beauty and has really made the furniture look more polished. You may need to sand the wood first I did not have too. Then I wanted to paint the metal chairs and table in the garden as they were green but I wanted them to go back to white. This involved lots of sanding down then two coats of this paint below by Hammerite which I find is the best for metal. A few weeks ago I was looking for a shoe cupboard to make are ...
