My Birthday wish list

So my hubby has asked what I would like as a gift for my birthday on the 20th.
Now I would be happy with just the satchel to be honest as it is a bargain at the moment. The iPad mini would be nice too though but I'm not expecting it!

Deborah Lippmann - Don't Tell Mama
Metallic satchel -The Cambridge Satchel Company (£75 reduced from £120)
Bellfield Fair isle Jacket £55 ASOS

Toddler demands

So my oldest boy until recently was a lovely sweet child. He has hit two now and things have changed.
Now I've read all these baby psychology books (mostly written by childless folk) so I know how his little mind has grown and what he's thinking.
He knows that to get things you have to ask. He hasn't quite grasped how the word NO works though.
No stirs up a hidden monster and the aftermath is not pleasant!
When you go out for a nice family meal and your toddler only wants to eat corn you find that kid corn and pile it on his plate. You never know you may even get to finish your food before it gets cold!

Elemis Winter Skincare Secrets Collection

I thought I would tell you my first thoughts on my awaited box from QVC that arrived this morning. 

Firstly I bought this mainly for two products which I have run out of, the Pro-radiance cleanser and the Pro-Collagen marine cream. Both of these are amazing and deserve a review on their own which I will do in due course.

I have started buying a lot of my beauty products from QVC lately. I think I end up watching the show late at night when I'm feeding the bubba and I can't resist a bargain!

This collection cost £49.95 plus postage . I know this sounds pricey but I will list the products and individual prices and you will see why this is a bargain!
You get:


Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser (150ml) £29


Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (30ml) £79 for 50ml. So approx £47
Gentle Rose Exfoliator (50ml) £27
Quiet Mind Bath Elixir (300ml) £21
Skin Nourishing Shower Cream (300ml) £22

Evening Blooms Dry Body Oil (50ml) Not currently for sale separately.

plus a cosmetics bag

So in total £146 and more worth of product for £50!

So I will give all the products a little road test over the next few days and let you know how I get on.  Are you a fan of Elemis?  What is your favourite?

Until tomorrow...

So I have left it to the last minute for todays post.  Today consisted of crappy weather, toddler tantrums and non stop feeding baby. Anyway I promise to do a proper post tomorrow but in the meantime here is a picture of said toddler at the park yesterday..

Hello again.

So I seem to start blogs, get bored and quit.
I like reading blogs, infact more than newspapers and magazines but not quite as much as books.
I am a mummy now though of two boys and that's not something that you can just quit at so I thought I would attempt this again.
If anything at all it will help my maternity leave sanity!
So I will pledge to blog every day in 2013.
Who knows I may even post twice today!
If you are pledging to blog every day in 2013 too let me l know and I'll follow you..
