Christmas Jumpers from IWOOT | Review | Plus discount code.

We all know how much I love a Christmas Jumper.... don't we? Year after year I would usually find the best Christmas Jumpers to talk about. Since having Nelly (She's 3 years old now?!?) I found myself not having the time to sit and work.

When 'IWOOT' - contacted me asking if i'd like to review some of course I jumped at the chance.
Perfect timing to jump back into it. They have over 1000 Christmas Jumpers. It took me ages to pick just three. I loved so many.

Can you tell a love dogs?

 I ordered them all in a M size 10-12, I'm 5ft3 and love a cosy bigger jumper. These are perfect for me.
I have a 30% OFF Code: XMASREBE

Jolly and Festive ;)

 

Oh look another dog jumper... ;)

They are fantastic jumpers to dress up or dress down. I can't wait for December to start wearing them more. They have kids ones too...  starting from just £19.99. Cheaper if you use my 30% off discount code.

*Disclaimer - I was sent these for the purpose of the review, however all thoughts & opinions are my own.

In general, the Venus palette series has been wildly popular and captured the hearts of every fan around. You have a wide range of unexpected colors. For example, the gigantic Venus XL costs $56, and it has especially become a treat with the 18 pans. That's unusually welcome compared to normally getting just eight.

Mysterious Packaging 

Originally, the brand teased a mysterious plastic packaging, which is something new that they said would be coming April 24th. It's what the brand wrote on their Instagram account.

You have a full stream of some of the most anticipated eyeshadows which will all make their debut with the Venus 3. For example, pink lovers will find this as the product for them because the company has made good on their promises to keep away from the one-note neutrals. This spring will deliver some astounding color. 

The shades you will see include: 

* Dreamy 

* Beam 

* Heavenly 

* Rapture 

* Bliss 

* Paradise 

* Ecstacy 

* Beloved 

The palette pricing has had no official word, but rumor has it the price will be the same as the Venus 1 and the Venus 2 palettes, which was $38. For anyone looking to throw a pink party, it doesn't get much better than the products from this company. Whether you're going for the nu-grunge look or you want a soft and painterly finish, you can do it with this company. There's nothing quite like the fun of trying to guess when it might release. 

A Previous Legend 

This company was previously a legend with its eyeshadow palettes. Everything has been a hit, and it remains both a versatile and a vibrant formula that looks super silky. The company continues to spoil its fans with awesome new releases this year that have seen a wild approval. 

Lime Crime has always remained ahead of the makeup trends, and their selection remains some of the most unique and colorfully diverse on the market today. The pink colors look great in performance.

Top 5 ways to organize your kids room

How can you help your kid have more organised and tidy room? We are here to walk you through a couple of tips and strategies to get rid of clutter and bring sparkle to your kids’ rooms. Easy and efficiently.

Have you ever thought that kids look at things a little bit differently than us, the adults? Try to look at their room from their point of view. Focus on belongings, furniture, free and occupied space. Surprising, right? At young age they haven’t developed their maintenance skills and are not able to distinguish tidy from messy. You can change that.

The organising system which the adults use is not compatible with the one we can use in a kid’s room. There are many examples which can prove it- starting with the ordinary hangers which cannot fit small sizes of clothes moving on the closet door which can pinch your kid’s little fingers. So when we organise our child’s room, we should do it in a way which will go perfectly on our child.

First things first. Are you the only one who does the domestic chores? Who has to run the household alone? There is no more need to be like this. Why do not you involve your kids into the cleaning process? Do not get into the mess and clutter on your own. You will find it very beneficial your kids to improve their organisation skills and to help you with future maintenance as well, not only with cleaning their own room but with the whole property as well. You can prepare a task list with cleaning duties which they will follow. You can encourage them in the end with a treat or permission to stay up till later. You know that kids love it!

A kids’ room is usually not too big so it will not take you that much time to deep clean better and organise it. There are few simple solutions you can benefit from to keep everything under control. Start with emptying all wardrobes, drawers and closet. When you remove everything, clean the spaces. Then it is time to take care of the clothes- sort them accordingly. For example, put all the clothes, which are out of season or just do not fit the kid any more, in a box or a bag and store it under the bed or in the closet. Remove all the clothes which your kid does not wear any more so the wardrobe will be better organised and tidy.

It is impossible to imagine a floor in a kid’s room without all the piled up toys. In case you are wondering what to do to bring some order, provide yourself with a storage container or just a plastic bag where you will put all the over-abundant toys. You can even use shoe boxes or just an ordinary cardboard box where to put smaller items like cars, tiny dolls and their clothes, etc. 

However, no matter how often you clean and organise your child’s room, after a single play and immediately the room will be back to its messy and cluttered condition. You can help children take better care of their rooms by simply introducing them to a new system. 

Try to make them straighten the comforter, make beds and get clothing directly to the laundry basket. All these duties can be performed in the mornings. Do not worry, there will be some duties for the evening sessions as well- put away all toys back to their place (the already mentioned storage containers) and put dirty dishes and glasses into the dishwasher. 

Try these simple tricks can make your life easier!

Baby Box University announces its partnership with Highways England

 

Baby Box University announces its partnership with Highways England  

 

 

Baby Box University is proud to announce its partnership with Highways England, through embedding a video on the importance of car safety within all of the Baby Box University NHS syllabi in the UK.

Highways England is the government company charged with operating, maintaining and improving England’s 4300 miles of motorways and major A roads. Their ambition is to ensure our major roads are more dependable, durable and most importantly – safe.

Highways England has produced a specific instructional film to inform expectant parents of what vehicle checks they should undertake before they use it to transport their family. This film has now been included within the comprehensive maternal and childcare education platform www.babyboxuniversity.com which, working with the NHS across England, encourages expectant parents early engagement with maternity services.

Upon completion of their local education syllabus parents receive a certificate that can be redeemed for their free Baby Box.

Louisa Phillips of Highways England said, “We are proud to be working in partnership with Baby Box Co to raise awareness of the importance of checking your vehicle before you travel. This partnership provides an excellent opportunity to provide key road safety messages to an audience who are highly receptive to information on how to keep their family safe. It is essential that the vehicle/s that both parents and newborns are travelling in are properly maintained, road worthy and safe at such an important time in their lives. Safety is our highest priority. Highways England is determined to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on motorways and major A roads and this initiative is a reminder we all have a role to play in travelling safely – including the parents of babies.”


Jennifer Clary, CEO of The Baby Box Co., said, “We are delighted to announce the partnership with Highways England. Our Baby Box outreach is not simply about offering every baby a safe place to sleep. Baby Box University is an all-encompassing programme that offers parental engagement, education and aims to unite the whole community to offer every child a safe and supported start in life. We look forward to working with Highways England to influence parents to be safe whilst driving on the road.”

Christmas in the sunshine – We booked the WRONG hotel!

Only we would go away for Christmas with majority of our family and end up arriving in the completely wrong hotel the other side of the island…. 

It sounds like something out of Home Alone. We couldn’t make it all up, even if we tried.

We luckily had a pretty uneventful plane journey, the smalls behaved well apart from H repeatedly asking his Daddy “if the plane was going to crash and would we die?” Shhh H ssshhhhhhhh H! 

Oh and Mr. H apparently lost us all for half an hour at Gatwick airport… he didn’t of course, he decided to buy Baileys but needed my phone with our boarding cards on, can we just discuss why we need to show boarding cards at the airport to buy things? We’ve all got through security ?!?! Any who the smalls were literally running rings around me so I decided to pop my head and body into Cath Kidston ( Favourite shop! ) however I left the older two smalls and our buggy and bags outside the shop so Mr.H could see where we were. He didn’t. He thought we had done a runner *As I would with three small toads in toe. He almost contacted security…. ALMOST. I’m pretty sure we were missing for less than 10 mins MAX!

Once we had landed on the beautiful island of Tenerife, the smalls were pretty over excited and it was getting late (for them and me!) we had ages to wait for our baggage and buggy, the next step was getting our hire car. Something we do a lot, most of our holidays abroad we hire a car to give us that extra bit of freedom, to explore the country. I mean we love a beach day and lazing around the pool… but on a serious note with three smalls us adults don’t get much relaxing, do we? It’s so easy to get in the car and explore. 

We started queing at the kiosk. Two couples in front of us. I thought easy this wont take long. WRONG! About 15 minutes or so into standing around the lady told us we had to go around to the other side, as this kiosk was shutting. With three or four families behind us, we had no hope getting our car anytime soon. In fact it took about 2 infuriating hours to finally get our keys. Meanwhile the smalls had been dancing, playing cars, doing racing between us and a Christmas tree the other end of the airport…. I was ready to lose my mind. 

Keys handed to us, time to find the car. Felt like another two hours later and car found.

The car was in awful bodywork condition. We couldn’t believe it. The bonnet was so damaged the open bonnet sign was on. Mr.H ran back to the Hire car kiosk to make sure they are aware of the damage, she assured us we were in fact covered for any damage and the car is safe to drive…. Blah blah blah.

Smalls in the car we had an hour and a half to drive to the hotel. Cheeky stop off at Mc Donalds as we all were starting to get Hangry!

Arrived at the Hotel we thought everyone else was staying at, It was 10:30pm, traveling all day we were totally ready for bed.

Phoned Sister inlaw and told her to knock at room 303, couple of minutes later door knocks, oh

must be sister inlaw…. Nope it was the lovely receptionist with our hair dryer and remote (€20 for the privilege  of using the TV & drying my hair) 

I left the door a jar for my sister inlaw, she couldn’t be far away…. How big is this hotel?

She rang back telling me that she was knocking on the door!. Oh god. Is there other buildings? Mr.H asked her to go to Reception and stand by the Christmas tree. Yep she was, but so was Mr.H! He asked the lovely Receptionist if there was any other buildings or another reception? Nope. Was the response. Oh my god! Where are we?

They put find my iphone app on. Sister inlaw OH MY GOD You're over an HOUR and a half away! WHAT!?

We had booked the Hotel on the north side of the island. EVERYBODY else had booked the same hotel chain but on the correct south side of the island. 

We all love a Flamingo!

I honestly felt like we had been in some kind of sick prank! What were the chances? It’s absolutely ridiculous. This was meant to be a relatively stress free Christmas away. Spending quality time with the family without a huge commute. However we are a positive family. We will make this work. The following day we set off in the car… through the scariest mountains, remember we were also in a car that felt like it may fall apart at any moment. The journey was like a rally track with no road crash panels and steep drops with tarmac falling away from the road, smalls in the back singing to ‘cause baby you're a FIREWORK!’ whilst Mr.H is concentrating trying to stay on the road. It took over an hour and a half. I clung on to the door handles with my life. Sounds crazy dramatic now but at the time I was in a blur of stress, sleep deprivation and worry. 

Christmas Eve

We spent the morning at beach and met up with everyone at their hotel afterwards. 

 We managed to get a lovely apartment from bookings.com next to everyone's hotel, It was so nice to go out for a meal with everbody and not have to drive the 2 hours back to our original hotel. 

Christmas day was fantastic and the children behaved beautifully. 

21st century dad.

 

I would definitely spend Christmas away again. The children had a few presents but the main thing that excited them was spending time with family, isn't that what Christmas is all about? 

Merry Christmas

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year
