Dry like me potty training pads






I saw these on offer in asda so grabbed them to give them a go now that Daisie is preferring to wear pants/pull ups instead of nappies now, She's still terrified of the potty and toilet but seems to be okay on the one we have in our living room, she'll sit and do all the noises but so far no actual toilets on it. These cost around £2.5O I think it was, I'm yet to give them a try but I think Daisie will like the fact she will have big girls knickers on just like her sister :)


Each pack is unisex and contains 18 pads and a FREE pad pouch for changes while you are out. 
I think it's a great idea that you can turn all pants into training pants just like the box says.
I will do another post on how we get on with them soon

Peppa pig - Multivitamins




I spotted these in asda for £1.5O and they seemed perfect for getting some vitamins into Daisie with her being a peppa pig fanatic and them looking just like packets of sweets.
Each box contains 7 sachets and each sachet has 3 peppa pig heads in and have come in a variety of flavours Apple,Blackcurrant,Orange & Strawberry
each sachet has VITAMINS A,B,C,D & E


You can also get Multivitamins Gummy George pigs, Vitamin C gummy peppa pigs & Calcium + Vitamin D gummy peppa pigs.


So far so good Daisie thinks they are sweets and always asks for another pack, Issy how ever heard they were vitamins had a pack and wasn't keen so I'll be seeing what else I can get for her and will be keeping the vitamin part secret, I'll definitely be stocking up one these on my next food shop

Fun christmas ideas



Something great to do with your kids or grand kids for Christmas season. Buy 25 books, wrap them and place them near the tree with a fluffy blanket and stuffed toy to cuddle with. Every evening they get to take one of the books and open them and you spend some time reading to them and cuddling.


I can't wait to give each of these a go :) 

DISCLAIMER: I take no credit for these ideas, each I came across on facebook through friends sharing them. 
 

The pre christmas clear out

Let the fun begin....
Even tho I've been clearing out all through the year the whole house still seems ridiculously cluttered :( I throw black sacks out/send them to charity every other week and it just doesn't seem to make a difference. I've given so much away I'm now giving eBay a go so I can at least get a few ££'s to put towards the Christmas shopping as it really isn't that far away, Half of the girls stuff isn't worn/used so it's worth a shot.

The girls room still looks like it's been turned upside down I still need to grab them a wardrobe/s and a bookcase as well as some new beds each  but with Christmas round the corner they will have to wait for a bit.

We've had the tooth fairy visit



Issy lost her first tooth on the 28th October and her second wobbly tooth has finally made it's exit :) her new teeth have already come through behind the wobbly ones slightly. She got £1 for her first tooth even tho she forgot to put it under her pillow before she went to bed, She also had £1 from the day before as a treat when she realised she had £2 once she had put both of them together she gave one to her little sister so they both had £1 to spend at the shops :')

Do you have any tooth fairy traditions?
 I'd love to have a little tradition for the girls as they grow up but I'm totally clueless on what atm

Little artist







My girls just love adding their own little touch to things, Not so much Issy anymore but if there's a pen/pencil or crayon to hand Daisie will have a little doodle, As cute as it is that shes getting all arty I'd much rather it was on some paper and not her bedroom walls, my new tv cabinet or my freshly painted living room walls :(
So a fresh lick of paint in the girls room is on the cards and I have to tackle getting the drawings off the wallpaper and find something to cover the bit Daisie ripped off. I have plans to wallpaper another wall but while she's at this little artist stage I'm wondering if it's even worth bothering with for now.
I also have plans of spraying/painting a part of their wall with blackboard paint Andy will be giving it a wooden boarder but I'm still torn will they stick to that part or will they think it's okay to draw on the other walls too because they are on that one? I just don't know but I'm hoping the fact it has a wooden boarder it will look like I've stuck an isle to the wall :) Time shall tell

Goodbye, October






Goodbye, October.
Bring on the firework displays, cosey nights in and let the Christmas madness begin.
The girls had their Halloween party last night,  Now that's over and done with I can start flapping about over Christmas and Issy's birthday in January.
I've got quite a collection of presents for the girls building up but no matter how big the pile 
I'll always flap about and think it's not enough, every year I say I'll be cutting down.
