Universal Pram Organiser Review + GIVEAWAY

By 35 Comments

We have recently upgraded our pram/stroller and the only negative about it is; it doesn’t have a drink holder, somewhere to put your keys or phone, etc. I love Poppets’ new wheels but a pram organiser is a must have for me. About 2 days after receiving the pram I received an email asking if I would like to do a universal pram organiser review and giveaway. It was like it was meant to be! Of course I said yes.

The thermo insulated pram organiser is available in 2 sizes – regular (35-45cm span) and large (40-50cm span). I received the large one because it was the perfect size for my pram/stroller. I can fit my wallet, keys, phone and drink or baby bottle/sippy cup in it with ease.

This universal pram organiser has so many wonderful features to offer.

Starting from when you first attach it; simply thread the velcro around the pram handle, through the loop and seal. It is now ready to use.

Easy to store your belongings with top loading. If you require a little more safety for you valuables, simply use the zip compartment.

It is made of Neoprene which not only maintains drink temperatures but is also very easy to clean. Just chuck it in the washing machine.

There is no need to remove it when not being used as it doesn’t stick out and take up room.

It is available in 3 colours – Aqua chevron, Black, Grey chevron.

I personally find this pram organiser to sit well on my pram and as I choose black to match the pram it blends in and looks like it is meant to be there. Very impressed and would highly recommend.

DreamBaby Bed Rail Review + Giveaway

By 38 Comments

There comes a point when every toddler transitions from a cot to a big bed and most parents biggest concern is that their child will fall out. Well that and will they actually stay in bed. Poppet has made this transition and thankfully she loves her new ‘big girl’ bed. We did however need to get a safety rail as the bed isn’t exactly low and should she have fallen out, it would have hurt. Dreambaby heard that Poppet was going from the cot to a bed and kindly offered me one of theirs. Below you can read the Dreambaby Bed Rail review and of course because Dreambaby are so generous they have offered another one for a giveaway!

DreamBaby Bed Rail Review

As I would expect from Dreambaby, the quality is second to none. This particular bed rail is an impressive 109 cm wide and 45.5 cm high. The odds of your little one falling out with this rail are pretty slim. As you can see in the picture of Poppets’ bed, there isn’t much of the bed left to fall from.

This is extremely easy to install and as it is already assembled in the box all you have to do is put it in the required spot and the safety anchors hold it in place. Requiring no tools to fit it means it is easily portable. One of my favourite features is the breathable mesh. My daughter moves around a lot when she sleeps and her face often pushes against the rail but thanks to the breathable mesh she can still breathe and I don’t fear her suffocating.

The  Dreambaby bed rail actually folds down as well which makes for easy bed making however this doesn’t suit all beds. The bed Poppet has isn’t quite high enough that it can be left down when she is not sleeping but it isn’t far off. Again, makes for easy bed making though.

For more information on the Dreambaby bed rail including stockists check out the Dreambaby website.

Prize Includes: 1x Dreambaby Harrogate Bed Rail. RRP $49.95.

Enjoy your Summer with Mozzi Gear + GIVEAWAY

By 97 Comments

Australian Summers are full of sun, barbecues and the great outdoors. Unfortunately mosquitoes also like to join the festivities and many of us (including me) are magnets for them. If there is one buzzing around it is more often than not having itself a delicious feast on my legs. Mozzi Gear have made our afternoon outdoor activities much more enjoyable.

We took a stash of Mozzi Gear products away camping with us to put to the test. The last time we went we forgot the aeroguard which ultiately led to me writing the Essential Camping Checklist so no one is ever left unprepared, including us.  This time around, we each wore a Mosquito Band. What is a mosquito band? It is one of the most popular Mozzi Gear products. It is a non-toxic silicone band that is a slow-release insect repellent containing citronella oil. I love this option of mozzie deterrent because it is so easy to use, simply pop it onto your wrist and your ready to go. It’s perfect for camping, fishing, bush walking and any other outdoor activities mosquito repellent may be necessary. You can wear it swimming because it is waterproof, effective for up to 48 hours and comes in 2 sizes – adults and kids. Each box contains 2 bands and comes in a range of 4 colours.

We also hung a Mozzi Gear Portable Ultrasonic Mosquito Repeller from our tent awning for extra protection. Claiming to offer up to a 3m coverage we thought we could give it a go and whether it was the ultrasonic repeller, the mosquito bands or a mix of both; we were not bitten once! The Ultrasonic Repeller is very simple to use, it’s compact and portable. It is non-toxic which is very important especially when children are around and has 3 time settings so you can set it to turn off after 4 hours, 6 hours or 12 hours. While we chose to hang it from the tent awning you can clip it onto clothing or anywhere you want as it, as it has a clip on the back for convenience.

We have also been introduced to Mosquito Click by Mozzi Gear. It is intriguing because it works on piezoelectricity  which means it doesn’t require batteries to work. This is not only for mosquito bites as it also works on ant bites, sand-flies, midges and even minor jelly fish stings. With 5 to 10 clicks to treat itching and 10 to 15 clicks to prevent swelling this handy sized clicker is great to keep on hand. Initially it shocks you as it sends a small electric shock however it is the sound of the click that makes you jump and not the current itself. It is safe to use on children over 6 months old and is chemical free. From just one of these clickers you will get approximately 5000 bite treatments.

You can find further information and Mozzi Gear stockists here.

Parenting with heart and soul

2x WINNERS!!

Each Prize Contains: 1x Parenting with Heart & Soul by Kelly Burch (Book). RRP $17.00. (Total prize pool: $34.00)

I’ll be the first to say I am not a mum who reads parenting books or even know what EFT is. However, Parenting with Heart & Soul is so much more than that. FIY: EFT means Emotional Freedom Technique. While it is predominantly a ‘parenting’ book, a lot of the ideas it shares work on everyone. As I turned the pages of this parent’s guide to emotional freedom with EFT I realised that many of the concerns and issues we have for our boys (ages 7 & 5) were included, confirming a lot of what I already suspected. Kelly Burch has written in a way that explains the thinking and reactions of children and us parents in a way that everyone can relate to, along with possible reasons they may be acting/behaving in such a way. She talks about fears, being present, anxieties, eating, stress and much more. A very interesting read that is well worth its RRP $17.00.

**As the winners are chosen based on skill and not chance; you will be sharing for 0 extra entries however I’d love you to share the giveaway with friends and family. Sharing is caring and karma loves kind people. **

GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED!! Winners have been announced on the winners page.
