Sleep and Bath with Brauer and Baby + GIVEAWAY

By 48 Comments

Up until a couple of months ago I had never heard of Brauer let alone used their products. I discovered the brand when I attended a Bloggers Brunch back in July which turned out to be perfect timing considering I had a 5 week old baby and they were showcasing their baby products. I have been using the Brauer Baby SleepyTime Bath since and absolutely love it. If I’m being honest I have actually used it in my bath also. It smells great, it’s relaxing and because it has no nasty chemicals in it it is very gentle on babies sensitive skin.

It is rich in honey, shea butter and paw paw so you know it will leave your babies skin soft and smelling great – naturally. My bub loves bath time and knowing that this is so safe for her, soap free and contains no petro-chemicals it makes me happy as well. The new Brauer baby range doesn’t stop there though – it has baby bath & body wash, baby shampoo, baby massage oil and of course the baby SleepyTime Bath. You can find the selection of Brauer products in the baby section of your local Woolworths or online at Brauer.

Isn’t she cute? hahaha

The lovely staff at Brauer have kindly given me 3x Sleepy Time Bath with the duck included to giveaway to 3 lucky Mad Mummas readers. (1 per winner)

Relaxing LIFE chair + photo bomber = GIVEAWAY

By 75 Comments

I don’t know about you but the kids in this house seem to take up so much space when they sit their tiny arses on the couch! I end up sitting on the computer chair because Mad Dad has sprawled himself along the other lounge and of course there is no space left for me. I am usually at the computer anyway but that is not the point. Sometimes I like to just chill on the couch with the laptop and relax a bit!

 

Lucky for me the wonderful people at LIFE have kindly provided me with an awesome Coast Bean Bag! Oh and did I mention I have 1 to give away to one of you awesome Mad Mummas Sweet Randoms readers? Well I do! More about that soon – first I want to tell you how awesome this chair is!

^^Meet Kye – AKA photo bomber!^^

 
I remember having bean bags as a kid ~ you know the ugly, cheap thin material kind? Let me put it this way, this bean bag is nothing like that! It made from tough poly fabric in gorgeous colours, it also has an air escape so it is super comfortable and my husbands favourite feature 1 pocket either side for earphones, remotes or in my case the ipad (thanks little man for discovering it fits!)  





 

I cannot say enough about how comfortable, durable and not at all ugly these bean bags are. LIFE has surely thought of everything when designing the range. They have many different styles for adults and kids so no one misses out!

They even provide the paper clip!
 
You can find their website

Make Time to Take Time!

By 9 Comments

Life can get pretty hectic sometimes and we all know that but many of us don’t really acknowledge the fact that sometimes we need to slow down and take a break.

 

 

I recently discovered that after months of solid activity, each and every day my calendar full of ‘must’ do tasks ~ you can’t do it all forever. I don’t mean for this to sound like I am naive to the fact the body needs rest but having the knowledge and using it are completely different. I am sure many men and women (I’m sure it’s mostly women though ;p) have this problem. Most of us have some or all of these ‘must do tasks’ and know that we all have lives being lived, houses to be kept, jobs to work, children to look after, school drop offs/pick ups, groceries to buy, dinner to be cooked, the list goes on and on and on. But when do we take the time or even have the time to sit back and rest?

 

WE DON’T!!

We need to make the time! Clean the house tomorrow – make a cup of coffee and enjoy it sitting in the warm spring sun – take a long hot shower; I’m sure you get the idea. That is what I have learnt over the past week when everything about me seemed to be broken. I decided after admitting to myself I couldn’t keep pushing myself anymore and that the next day I was sleeping in. It was Saturday so I didn’t have to worry about school, the kids would be more than happy to eat breakfast while watching cartoons for a while. They could manage on their own for a couple of hours (thank you TV!)
I was going to take pleasure in the little things.

 

When I got up I felt recharged, refreshed, happy and ready to take on the worldday (in moderation). Now I know you are all thinking this is common sense and stop telling us shit we already know but sometimes I find it nice to be reminded that we aren’t alone and that yes, life does get hectic, life throws us curve balls and yes life can be very unpredictable and so I thought I may not be alone and others may need to be reminded also. It is OK!

Enjoy life, embrace life and make time for you!
It makes all the difference.   
 
 
 
 

 

I love Coffee!

By 3 Comments

This is NOT a sponsored Post!

I’m a lover of coffee! I couldn’t hide that that even if I tried. It kick starts my day and keeps me going through.

I’m also a massive fan of talking. It’s an exercise right?

Well that is what I love so much about this delicious beverage.

Coffee and talking go hand in hand (in my house anyway). I was lucky enough to receive a massive stash of Nescafe Café Menu coffee sticks.

Thanks Soup! You are pretty awesome.

There are 14 varieties but my absolute favourite is the Mocha, it is so easy to drink. My husbands’ favourite is the caramel Latte.

I honestly love these Nescafe Cafe Menu coffees. I have purchased these since they were first released because they are delicious, quick and so easy to drink. I’m pretty stoked to be given this many to enjoy with friends and family.

How do you catch up and reconnect with friends and family?
