Why I don’t Babble Back | Mum Life

10/07/2019

Countless mum’s babble away to they baby when they first start making noises. It’s only natural. Then the babbling really kicks off and there is no way in hell’s chance you know what they’re saying but you make the noise back anyway and before you know it you’re engaged in a incoherent conversation with a one year old. But that’s not me. Slightly unorthodox maybe and baffling to some, but this is us. We decide very early on with Evelyn that we ...

As you all I know I love a Limited Edition Box and Glossybox’s just wow me every time. The last Limited Edition box we saw was an egg! It was quite amazing to be honest. The June GLOSSYBOX x Living Proof Limited Edition box is here and it is packed with 5 hair products that restore, nourish and revive damaged hair. The perfect Hair-mergency kit worth over £75.

Holding Up The Universe by Jennifer Niven Book Review

03/06/2019

Yeh, we went on honeymoon. There was lots of lazing by the pool and lots of reading was done. So here is a review of Holding Up the Universe By Jennifer Niven. The book is about a girl who was once dubbed ‘America’s Fattest Teen’. Since her mum’s death she’s been picking up the pieces and eating herself until oblivion. Until a few years ago, and she had to be cut out of her house. Since then she has lost a hell of a lot of weight and is now back at school. Jack ...

Benefits of Bedtime Stories

30/05/2019

The benefits of reading your baby a child a story or book have been investigated heavily. It is found that a lot of brain rewiring can happen after 8 weeks of reading a child a book before bed every night. It helps incredibly with speech development and the understanding of certain words that can often sound similar such as fall and doll apparently. Also, as children get older it helps to teach them to pronounce properly and in turn spell. Recently we have been doing Thomas’ weekly ...

Why I am so over this ‘Influencer’ Malarkey | Chat

23/05/2019

It wasn’t until recently that I realised exactly what direction I wanted my social media to go in and then I saw a very short 30s-1m video on facebook and hit me square in the face…. hard. Everyone seems to want to become an ‘Influencer’ of some sort these days. But with Influencing… comes responsibility. Now the video I watched highlighted that when someone get’s done for drink driving (for example) they are classed as ‘under the influence’. ...

Lie With Me by Sabine Durrant Book Review

06/05/2019

Lie with Me is about Paul. Paul is a bit of a womaniser and, in my opinion, a women’s worst nightmare. Really he only cares about one thing… sex. He clearly has a flavour for the younger woman, however, although this is brought up throughout the book it is not what the book is about. Paul meets an old friend and in turn starts dating one of the friends family members. He is invited on their family holiday and he makes a few white lies to ‘fit in’. However, these ...
