Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR Review + Giveaway

Dec 24 2015

Don’t wait for the worst to happen before taking car seat safety seriously. Read this and make the right choice the first time! Car safety is continually improving and car seat manufacturers like Britax are doing a great job of combining new technology with the same great quality you have come to expect. See the latest addition to the Safe-N-Sound range below: Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR Review I have used Britax branded car seats off and on since having my first child and they have done nothing but impress me. From comfort to safety, they know what they are doing. I have been fortunate enough to never have been involved in a car accident but I have trust in the car seats we use that should it occur, they will have the best protection available to them. What I love about it As you know, we welcomed our 4th child…

To keep with tradition, we attended the Hunter Valley Gardens Christmas Lights Spectacular 2015 again this year. For the past three years the rain has also joined us! Christmas Lights Spectacular 2015 Regardless of what is happening in our life or how busy we are, we never miss a year. Each year the lights spectacular gets bigger and better. The kids absolutely love seeing the different displays, including the story book garden, Cinderella, 12 days of Christmas, waterfall and so many other great themes. Unfortunately the Ferris wheel didn’t return this year which was very disappointing to both me and my children. There was a games zone that offered jumping castles and arcade games. This year saw the addition of the fairy garden, the music room and the new and improved candy land. As we walked through the entry gates we were greeted by a gorgeous Christmas caroller in a…

Swaddle UP summer lite | Love to dream | All Mum Said

Dec 20 2015

My daughter is now 6 weeks old and unlike her older brothers and sisters, loves to be swaddled. My other three children couldn’t stand being wrapped up tight or swaddled and would kick the wrap off and cry until they were freed from being swaddled. My new little miss on the other hand, loves being swaddled, just as much as being free to kick around. She likes to move her hands though so traditional swaddling doesn’t work. This is why we adore the Love To Dream Swaddle UP Summer Lite so much. I find that because she can still move her arms, she settles herself by sucking her hands or rubbing her face. The fact her hands are secured in the Swaddle UP also prevents her from scratching her face during the night. The fabric is light which is perfect for summer as the material breathes which keeps her cool. The…
