ALL ABOUT HEIDI

Prize Contains: 1x Heidi Walks seamless shoe – RRP $45.00 (winners choice of colour & size)

These stunning little shoes are crafted from one piece of soft leather. Seamless shoes provide little feet with absolute comfort when they walk. The beautiful baby and toddler shoes from All About Heidi are simply genius as the flower design on the front not only looks delightful but it can also be adjusted by tightening or loosing the knot to suit your little ones foot as they grow. The velcro allows for easy use; when putting on and taking off. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of grip these have as the leather is incredibly soft. I was expecting Poppet to slip over on the tiles with them on however she has not fallen once while wearing them. They provide enough grip that she can run and play in them without hesitation. The hardest thing about these shoes is what colour to purchase as they are available in 10 different colours! These absolutely adorable shoes are available from All About Heidi.

JET EMPIRE

Prize Contains: 1x One Tree Hill bracelet – RRP $45.00 

This is my absolute favourite bracelet at the moment. It is a gorgeous colour, made from beautiful Swarovski pearls and features the “Tree of Life” charm. It sits comfortably on your wrist, is durable and looks divine. This stylish bracelet can be purchased from Jet Empire and is available in 12 different colours so there is something to suit every woman. Absolutely gorgeous piece of jewellery mums,teachers or teens would love!

CHILL FACTOR

Summer is almost here but judging by the heat we have experienced my part of the world recently you would think it has already arrived. The Chill Factor Slushy Maker has been pushed to its limits this past week and has been loved by all. The kids have been adding their favourite drinks and creating a slushy within minutes. It’s fast, efficient and keeps everyone cool. A must have this Christmas!! Not to mention the new colours are amazing. Available for purchase from Big W.

The White Magic Eco Cloth Dish Drying Mat has been a huge hit in my kitchen. I honestly don’t know how I lived without one. Under my dish-drainer is now neat, tidy and water mark free. They are 4x times more absorbent that cotton tea towels and come in a wide range of colours to brighten up your kitchen. I have pink and love it! The White Magic Eco Cloth Coasters are great for cushioning glasses, absorbing heat and protecting furniture from water rings because it is super absorbent.

THE LITTLE BOOK OF HARMONY

Prize includes: 1x The Little Book of Harmony. Written by Kerry Spina – RRP $20.00.

I am very fond of this book. It encourages children to take notice of their choices and the effects it could have on others, both positive and negative. It shares with them in a way that is magical and fun, what truly matters and how they can start their journey to self discovery. I love that The Little Book of Harmony is not just focussing on negative behaviour, it promotes important messages such as forgiveness and gratitude. Kerry is a true genius and I really hope this book flies off the shelves because it is amazing. Encouraging children to love themselves, be creative, how to accept things and so much more by inviting them to think about and discuss their feelings and emotions while reading the book. You can purchase this truly wonderful book from Kids in Harmony.

PIN WORTHY PARTIES

The post Huge Christmas Giveaway – Day 3 appeared first on All Mum Said.

I have often looked at D-Link products while browsing Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi and similar stores however thinking they were above my budget I always kept going without giving them much thought. Well they aren’t above my budget, the D-Link products are surprisingly affordable. I wish I had taken more time to check when I was looking for a baby monitor when Poppet was first born because I could have saved myself hundreds! For the past week I have been reviewing 3 items – 1x SanDisk and 2x D-Link products. The SanDisk Connect Flash Drive, D-Link’s new Wi-Fi Baby Camera Jr and the D-Link Wi-Fi Audio Extender. So what did I think?

D-Link Products

D-Link Wi-Fi Baby Camera Jr (DCS-700L)

This baby monitor is fantastic for the price attached to it. At $125 the Wi-Fi Baby Camera Jr is perfect for parents who cannot always be home with their little ones but still want to be able to check in or watch them sleep (because what parent hasn’t done that at one time or another?!). This D-Link baby monitor has made this possible and made it easy. *Obviously these children have someone looking after them.

Sharing a wide range of features this little portable camera allows parents to connect their devices wirelessly over the internet (Wi-Fi) and monitor their child wherever they are. With both local and remote viewing you can watch/listen to your baby at any time of the day. The two-way audio makes it for parents to respond and settle baby with the comforting sound of their voice. The day/night vision automatically adjusts making monitoring your child a breeze and the 4x digital zoom lets parents have a close up look. The sound and motion detection is great as well because it will send a notification to your device to alert you. Simply download the free app to your tablet or smartphone and watch your little one peacefully sleep. You can also take photos/videos directly to your mobile device so you can always cherish those sleeping moments. The D-Link Wi-Fi Baby Camera Jr. comes with 2x accent rings – 1x blue and 1x pink.

D-Link Wi-Fi Audio Extender (DCH-M225)

With this little beauty you play music wirelessly from your tablet/smartphone direct to any connected speaker within your homes Wi-Fi network..

The little pocket sized storage device SanDisk Connect Flash Drive is a must have for everyone. It is perfect for wirelessly streaming high-def movies, music, documents and photos on your devices (computers, tablets and smartphones). If you are going on a road trip than it will keep the kids amused or if you have to travel for work, it has you covered as well.

The post D-Link products for the whole family appeared first on All Mum Said.

To follow on from our Father’s Day gift guide I am sharing some great products from TEC Accessories, their reviews and a chance to get your hot little hands on them. Not every dad is a socks and jocks type of guy and as much as they may put on the big smile when they are handed the pencil tin covered in paddle pop sticks they would often prefer something a bit more manly and practical. TEC Accessories have you (and your dad) covered.

TEC Accessories

Glow fob

The first draw card to the TEC Accessories Glow Fob is that it glows! Who doesn’t love stuff that glows in the dark? This deep seeded obsession interest began when I was a child. Every time we went to a show, a fair or a rodeo, if they had glow sticks I absolutely had to have one. The simple joy of having a bright coloured light to wave around provided hours of endless entertainment. The TEC-S3 does exactly that (minus me spinning in circles trying to make words with the glow aura). While it is only small; the sleek and stylish Glow Fob is perfect for every dad whether he is the adventure man, camper, office worker, policeman or a plumber, farmer, writer, etc. It glows, it’s fun, it’s unique ~ what else needs to be said? 

Built with exceptional craftsman ship and made from stainless steel it puts out a satisfactory glow that can last for up to 12 hours. For the adventurers out there the glow pellet can be removed via a O ring at the bottom and replaced with a make your own kit if you want to use Tritium. The glow reminds me of a radioactive glow (like in The Simpsons) and it’s almost certain to be zombie proof for the preppers out there. The glow fob can be added to anything that you may need to find in the dark like car keys, torch/flashlight, fishing gear or even putting on kids jackets when camping. As you can see in the picture above the brightness and glow intensity is nothing to be disappointed about.

The only down side is it needs to be charged in light with sun light giving the best results. So if you can store the fob near some form of light during the day there is no down side. There are a few different options available: $18 aluminium, $23 stainless steel and $36 for titanium.

Centipede ruler

The Centipede ruler is Titanium and Titanium is awesome!!! Its 8cm of effortless measuring. I cannot count the amount of times I’ve measured something against my finger and tried to remember roughly the length of what I needed. I thought how often could I possibly use an 8cm ruler and the answer is simply a lot more than I ever would of imagined. Now that I have it hanging with my keys it takes away my more often than not wrong guess work. Did I mention it’s made from Titanium? Measuring in at 87mm long and 4mm wide; there are reference points at every 2mm and each cm making it uncomplicated to use. It has a strong and solid feel and like everything TEC Accessories its top shelf quality. The Centipede ruler is also available in imperial measurements (known as the Inch Worm) if you or more importantly dad like to kick it old school. At a mere $21 you absolutely need one of these cool bits of gear.

P-7 suspension clip        

This is a small clip at only 4cm (yes I measured it with my centipede) and it does exactly what it was intended for. It holds your keys or whatever you decide to hang from it tightly to your pocket allowing them to nicely hang and know they’re not going to stab in to your leg when you sit down. I have also found it exceptionally great to locate my keys from the Pandora’s box my wife calls a hand bag on the occasions I ask her to look after them for me. It’s a great addition to your favourite key ring thanks to it’s minimalist design. The P-7 Suspension clip is made of spring tempered stainless steel so you can trust it will hold its shape and be reliable for years to come. The quality is as usual, excellent. $12 for one or a twin pack for $20.

———————————————————

Python clip

Crafted with polished stainless steel with 3 speed holes gives it a smooth quality look. They are small  and very easy to use clips. Consisting of a strong spring gate that has a good amount of resistance and is wide enough for my fat fingers to simply attach and detach from my key ring. The spring gate sits snugly in a guard making it impossible for anything to unintentionally slide underneath it and be lost. The Python Clip can be used for almost anything that you can think of;  I use these for a small pocket knife which I obviously can’t leave on my keys at all times and on a usb so I don’t have to have my keys hanging from my computer every time I need to use it. They say small things amuse small minds ~ say what you will because I absolutely love them! You can purchase them for $5.25 ea or $5 ea if you buy 3 or more.

———————————————————

Split ring kit

The Split Ring Kit gives you 3 or 4 of the most popular sizes (depending which kit you choose) of split rings for adding accessories to your keyring. With the sizes ranging from small rings to tiny ones, these kits will give you endless combinations to add anything you can think of to your keys whilst keeping a nice proportional tidy look. They are a great quality and thickness for their size and have good metal memory to spring back to their original shape once spread and added to whatever you need. Retailing for only $3 they are an absolute bargain!

———————————————————

Snap ring pliers

Initially I didn’t think I would need these snap ring pliers but once you realise how awesomely small some of the split rings are they are a must have. If you’ve ever tried to put a tiny split ring on anything you will know how frustrating it can be and not to mention the longer and wider you have it spread open the sloppier the end product looks, no one wants a split ring that is bent out of shape hanging from their keys. Realistically at only $3 its money well spent even if you only use it once.

They are well made quality pliers with a simple design. The wedge on one side makes it easy to spread split rings open and grip them enough to start twisting the ring on to anything your heart desires.

TEC Accessories provide great quality, service you can rely on and they ship world wide so everyone can enjoy their products.
