A Secure Future with TAL

30/04/2013 By All Mum Said Leave a Comment

Death is something no one likes to talk about. The thought of missing out on seeing loved ones grow up because they are no longer here with us or even worse loved ones having to say good bye to us is not only scary but it is also very daunting.

Did you know that when the unfortunate circumstance strikes and we lose a loved one many of us are not prepared. Mentally or physically. Over 95% of us do not have adequate life insurance cover, leaving behind not only grieving families but also loan debt, funeral expenses and more. Money is the last thing anyone should have to think about after suffering a loss and yet so many still don’t take measures to ensure their family can continue living and take the time they need to grieve.


I have become more aware of many things that I was blissfully naïve to prior to today; these involve the realities of illness, disability and death. It is a lot more common than I ever would have imagined. I can thank TAL Insurance for enlightening me to how I should be more prepared. You can learn more here from TAL Facts of Life.

Have you got life insurance?

Hot & Cold Muesli + Giveaway!

24/04/2013 By All Mum Said 28 Comments

When you think of Muesli what comes to mind? For me it is cereal or adding it to yoghurt. My thinking has now been changed. Table of Plenty has developed an innovative 2-in-1 Hot or Cold Muesli that doesn’t compromise on flavour. We seem to be having some confusion in weather here in the Hunter Valley, one day it is freezing and the next it’s like summer again. So the timing couldn’t have been more perfect to try both styles of this muesli.

My eldest son is a huge fan but my youngest and I would prefer it to not have sultanas in it. Besides that though it is quick and convenient and tastes pretty damn good! I love that you can have delicious porridge cooked in the microwave in the matter of minutes or enjoy crunchy muesli with milk and it is the exact same product. There are 8 sachets per box and with a RRP $5.99 it isn’t too badly priced for a healthy breakfast.

As mentioned in the title there is a giveaway so you can try it for yourself!!

There will be 3 lucky winners who will each receive 2x boxes of Table of Plenty 2-in-1 Hot or Cold Muesli.  

Entry is easy – just follow the easy instructions on the rafflecopter.
This is a game of skill and chance plays no part!

GOOD LUCK!

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

Winners are ~ Stacey S, Tanya B, Rachel T

Tommee Tippee Toddler Feeding

24/04/2013 By All Mum Said 1 Comment

I don’t know about anyone else but when my boys were babies they were eating solids (well puree) by about 4 months. They were very hungry babies and enjoyed trying many different flavours.

I don’t know if baby #3 is going to be same but whether she starts eating early or the average age I will be prepared with the Tommee Tippee feeding range. Their innovation has no limits and is shown in the following products.

First Solids Bowl – This bowl is the perfect size for your little ones first feeding requirements. It has an easy grip handle for parents (left and right handed), it has an anti-spill lid that is great for storage and travelling. It has also got 2 separate compartments so you can store different foods at the same time or have variety while feeding. BPA free!
RRP: $11.95

Stickee Bowl – This is great for when they show an interest in feeding themselves or you just want that extra security in knowing they won’t spill the food everywhere. It also comes with a looped spoon for ease of use when they feed themselves. When my boys were little we tried suction bowls with no luck however this design is taking things to a whole new level, the bowl clicks into the base so it won’t move when your bub holds the side of the bowl and the best bit is they are very easy to clean. It has an anti-spill lid for travel and storage.  BPA free!
RRP: $13.95

Heat Sensor Spoons – These spoons are great for new parents who are unsure how hot/cold to have babies meals. The tip will turn white to indicate when food is too hot! The tip of the spoon is flexible and soft to be gentle on sensitive gums and the handle is long enough that you can easily reach the corners of jars. BPA free. 4x spoons per pack.
RRP: $9.95

Comfy Grip Fork and Spoon – Designed for when your little one is interested in feeding themselves, the wide scoop tips make it easy for bub to bring them to their mouths. The curved and cushioned handles are designed for little hands in mind. BPA free.
RRP: $7.95

Discovera Trainer Cup: This 260ml non-spill and shake proof cup is designed for 6 months+. It has a soft spout for easy drinking while remaining versatile, the spout top fits all Miomee bottles. BPA free!
RRP: $12.95

What feeding item is your must have for bubs?

Why Walk When You Can Roll?

23/04/2013 By All Mum Said Leave a Comment

Do you have a teenager or man child in your home that would love to have a scooter like the kids’? Maybe you love getting out there with the kids but haven’t found a scooter of quality or one that is large enough. Well I have got the solution for you!

 Thanks to Crisp and their new Big Wheel Scooter you can now ride with the kids. What child wouldn’t want Mum or Dad to take them for scooter ride? My boys are obsessed with their bikes and scooters and now I can finally scoot next to them instead of trailing behind constantly telling them to slow them. Well I will until the baby is born anyway and then my husband will have to take over being the awesome and fun one.

I love that this scooter is Australian designed and so much thought has gone into the style and practicality of it. It has an alloy deck that is set low and wide making it easier for adults to use. Just like the kids scooters it has a height adjustable handlebar which is great when Dad and Mum take turns going for a ride with the kids! I am quite a bit shorter than my husband and this comes in handy.

The wheels are 200mm cast PU which basically means they are big enough that you can smoothly ride over bumps. There is a drink bottle holder on the front as well so when the kids get thirsty (like mine do every few minutes) you have water on hand. This scooter can be folded to easily fit into the car for those fun adventures that require a little bit of travel.

You can find the Crisp Big Wheel Scooter stocked in various bike and skate stores for $220. Find more information at www.activeoutthere.com.au

Journie – The Perfect Accessory + GIVEAWAY

19/04/2013 By All Mum Said 67 Comments

It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that I am a HUGE handbag and shoe lover! I love them, they are my feel good purchases. I have recently discovered a new website (new to me, not the web) and I am going to be honest I spent a good hour going through their bags, satchels, clutches and wallets! So many gorgeous options and there is definitely something for everyone. Pop over and check out journie.com.au  you won’t be disappointed and with Mother’s Day coming up you can leave your hints laying around.

The designer of these gorgeous bags has put a lot of thought into the size, shapes, appearance and fabrics giving them all their own individual appeal. Each handbag appears to have its own story to tell when you look at them, they are unique and distinct without being over the top or weird. The current range/collections have their own style that suits both day and night and are perfect for the upcoming cooler months with natural and earthy tones.

I have had my Miami Chic Hobo bag for a week now and have more complements about it than I can count on both hands. The colours of this bag are natural, refreshing and yet funky and fun. What I love about this bag is the thickness of the fabric, the storage space and pockets. There is more than enough room to fit all my useless and never used crap essential items with plenty of room to spare and individual pockets for easy finding of the items you actually use. Journie does not comprise on quality and that is a hard thing to find these days.

For your chance to win your very own Miami Chic Hobo just follow the easy instructions on the rafflecopter.
This is a game of skill and chance plays no part!
