review this + giveaway : stuck on you drink bottle


in my few years of parenting i have been through a ridiculous amount of sippy cups and drink bottles. recently i have test driven the stuck on you drink bottle with my 4yo daughter, and to be really honest, my 18mo daughter too!

i need my children's drink bottles to fit a bit of a criteria. might sound silly, might sound a bit o.t.t., and well that's just part of my makeup! the low down on this drink bottle... it fits in the drink holder on miss 4's carseat. check. and in the front of the car too. check. i've had a couple that have been too big around the base to fit in snuggly, so i love this point. second win is that i have ditched the nappy bag and am now on handbag status again. this drink bottle is a 500ml capacity, so it fits standing up in my handbag, so is easy to keep organised and can be grabbed straight out with no fumbling around. love that. the pop cap is still quite firm for miss 4 to open and close herself, which i like because it means i know that a certain 1yo can't sneak it away and tip water all over, well, everything! the designs are so pretty, love it personalised with a name, means it's easily recognisable at daycare, or anywhere we go that involves other drink bottles. it's stainless steel and bpa free. check, check and check.
 
miss 18-months-going-on-4-years {sheesh}, has proven her ability to drink from this drink bottle also. which is great. big girl status! so a frankie design will be hiding under our christmas tree for her this year.
 
i've teamed up with stuck on you and we are going to give away one personalised drink bottle, valued at $24.95 and posted free to you. wanna know how you can go in the draw to win one? firstly, go visit the stuck on you website :: www.stuckonyou.com.au :: find the drink bottles and choose your favourite. come back here to this blog post and leave a comment below {if you are leaving a comment as anonymous, please leave me an email address, or even email it to me, so that if you win i can contact you} with what design you will choose if you win one. pretty easy, and well worth the effort if you do win!
 
i will randomly draw out a winner on monday morning {december 10}.
 
good luck!

review this : weil baby training cup

sitting in my review box has been the weil baby drinking cup. at the time, neither of my mini me's were at the right age to complete the review, so this time the review was done by tiny tester lulu. lulu's mum is wrapped with the weil baby cup, and 5 months on, the cup is still in mint condition with no leakages and the teat still in perfect shape. here is what trina shared with us :

“Having 2 little girls, I have tried so many sippy cups etc in the past, but the weil cup by far has been the best! I love the little handles on the side for an easy grip, and also how it doesn’t leak when thrown on the floor etc, like most of them do. I would certainly recommend it, definitely no complaints here!”

unfortunately production has now stopped for this range, but you can still find the odd cup or bottle around on a few websites at discounted prices. we found a few pieces at avidiva and gifts 4 kids, starting around the $10 mark. big thanks to trina and lulu for testing out this product!

wearing : the belted scarf

have you tried belting your scarf? it's such an easy and effective fashion trend that can just pop that every day outfit and give it a bit of jous. there are endless options on how to belt a scarf, from silky leight weight scarves in the summer, to thick lucious woolen ones in winter. you can wear it basic and long like i have here, you can loop it once or twice around the neck to bring the height up and give you more neck coverage, skinny belts, thick belts, you get the drift!

i particulary find this look useful while i'm a breast feeding mumma. here i wear the lilly b nursing tank in white, so i have instant access to my feeding aparatus. i actually unclip my belt and my scarf is wide enough to cover my baby and discreetly feed her. i drape my scarf around my neck for this reason, and also because this gives me an elongated look {aka - makes me look taller when really i'm not}.

it still looks great from the back, the belt doesn't look too out of place. i'm digging this look. do you wear it? will you try it this year? i wear :

scarf : one red hen
belt : op shop
jeans : country road

review this : myrtle & tuppence night night sleep tight + crusty coconut

do you have a couple of items for your baby that you couldn't imagine living without? the ones that you suggest to other mum's when talking about your babies? well get ready to add 2 more awesome products to that list! if you haven't already discovered myrtle & tuppence, do read on...

i'll start first with the night night sleep tight lotion. i'm a firm believer in a night time routine. i used a night time oil on my first baby and she was always an excellent sleeper, sure she woke up during the night for breast feeds, but was always happy to go straight back down in the cot and settled herself well. i believe the oil i was using back then played a vital role in her sleep. the first couple of months with my second baby were quite full on, with lots of wind issues and what i thought was going to be a cat napper. 6 weeks in and still trying to find our new family groove, which now included a toddler, i realised i wasn't following a night time routine. i'll tell you right now, i was finding it hard to find the time to cook dinner let alone have that beautiful spare hour of bath and massage time for the baby like i did with my first {poor second child right?!}. once i realised i wasn't doing the same things that seemed to worked for my first {night time cream and music playing sweetly as she lay down to rest}, i was straight onto the internet to see what new products were about. and that's where i found the myrtle & tuppence website.

the night night sleep tight is as it suggests, a lotion for restless babies. ingredients are chamomile, mandarin and lavender essential oils in a plant derived base lotion, citricidal. i definately smell the lavender scent firstly, and then the mandarin and chamomile hit your nose and give the lotion a slightly fresh scent. it's really quite nice. you don't need a lot of cream, which means the bottle will last a while, i pump out 3 squirts {as below}, rub together on both hands and use one hand to massage onto the chest and the other hand for the back. the cream, along with a couple of other practices put into place {that music cd i was talking about and the love to swaddle up wrap}, have made our bedtime routine for frankie hassle free and pleasant. coincidence or not, the first time i used the cream i got a 7 hour sleep from frankie. that might not sound much to some, but for us, it was heaven. i've also been known to pin my toddler down and smother her in the cream aswell! worked a treat the first couple of times i caught her, but she's onto me now and runs away when she see's me rubbing frankie with it!

now the other product is the crusty coconut. this oil is fantastic and if your child has cradle cap that you are trying to get rid of, seriously grab yourself a bottle of this magic lotion. both of my kids have had cradle cap, frankie much worse than summer's. the baby oil wasn't seeming to work too well on frankie's, i felt it was drying her head out too much. so i saw this on the myrtle & tuppence site and didn't even hesitate to grab a bottle to try. glad i did, it has worked a treat! i tried to take some before and after shots but they didn't turn out too clearly, so you'll just have to take my word for this one! ingredients are coconut oil and rosewood essential oil, citricidal. the rosewood is quite a strong pleasant smell and that's what i smell straight up with this. you rub the lotion onto baby's head and leave it for half an hour and then wash off as normal. i done this every second night, for 5 sessions and the cradle cap was mostly gone. she just has one small section of cradle cap left on her soft spot, which obviously i am very gentle around, but i don't participate it being there after the next couple of doses. fantastic product, i'm extremely happy with the results we got for frankie and definately recommend it to my mum friends!

i think the main thing with baby products is to not be skeptical and give a product a go. it may just change your routine around for the better! the night night sleep tight cream is $9.50 for 100ml and the crusty coconut {clean my coconut} is $9.00 for 100ml. postage is $5 and to order you enter your details through their website and the girls will call or email you to arrange payment.

review this + {giveaway} : marquise fundies


fun•dies {pl.n. informal.} a new, fun and super comfy pair of underwear, made especially for boys or girls, by aussie children’s fashion brand marquise.

we've teamed up with the wonderful girls over at marquise and together we would love to hand out some of their brand new range of fundies! so if you have kids who are wearing undies, on their bums or on their heads, then please read on...


the lowdown : made from 100% natural cotton with bright colours and playful patterns, the marquise fundies have a fantastic fit and greater cover for comfort and warmth. they are breathable and help remove moisture away from the skin, keeping your little person feeling comfortable. the quality waistband is softer on the skin, the label has been sewn down for maximum comfort and there are no annoying over-locking seams. for the boys, marquise undies feature a double front for greater comfort while the girl’s knickers provide a double gusset for utmost comfort. available for both boys and girls in sizes 2-3yrs, 3-4yrs, 4-6yrs and 6-8yrs.

my take on the fundies : if you're a long time follower of this blog, you may remember i reviewed the first range of fundies quite some time ago. at the time my daughter was toilet training and not only i, but she was clearly impressed with this range as she always asked for her 'yellow' undies. i am again impressed with the new range, the designs for starters are on trend and cute and the quality in these fundies speak for themselves. i love that tag is sewn down, please tell me my daughter isn't the only one who carries on something shocking if heaven forbid there is a tag annoying her on her undies, or her t-shirt, or anything really! i've found the marquise fundies stand the time and wash after wash after wash, they still look and feel like they are brand new! if you are yet to try this range, then please jot your name down. bet you'll love them as much as i do!

what you win and how : a 3 pack of fundies. you get to choose the gender and the size. the first 10 people to leave me a comment under this post gets a 3 pack each. you don't have to jump through hoops, or even be a follower of our blog. but if you are on facebook, why not check out marquise's page {http://www.facebook.com/pages/marquise/109109505797041}. please leave your email address below, if you feel comfortable with that, or email it to me, so if you are one of the first 10 i can contact you to get your postal details. the girls at marquise will be posting your goodies directly out to you. and you cannot enter by email, it must be a comment.

all make sense? sounds easy? good luck!

review this : eco child natursutten natural pacifier

when i was pregnant last summer, i noticed these natursutten dummies from eco child in the shop 4 kids eco news. shop 4 kids labelled the dummy as being a huge hit with mum's in europe and that they are growing a cult following in australia. and i can see why.

i think you're either a dummy mum or you're not. i am. i wasn't at first, with my first, but my mother threw a dummy in my daughter's mouth at about 3 weeks old to help settle her down one day, and well, i went with it and haven't looked back. so when my second baby arrived, i was a lot more relaxed and knew that more than likely i would have a dummy for her.

we all worry about what's going into our baby's mouth, some things can't be helped, but a dummy can be. the natursutten soothers are made from all natural pure rubber. they are non-toxic, bpa free, phthalate free, have no allergy causing substances, no artificial colours, aswell as also being completely biodegradable and non harmful to the environment. they have no cracks, crevices or joints where bacteria can hide, so they are very hygienic. they definately tick all the right boxes.

pictured above is the orthodontic in size small {0-6 months}. it also comes in sizes medium {6-12 months} and large {12+ months}. the round pictured is in size medium {6-12 months}, it's also available in sizes small and large. what's the difference between the two and which one is right for you?

orthodontic : is better for their teeth - providing it is placed in the right position. if they are placed in your baby's mouth upside down, they can actually do more harm than good.

round : cannot be placed in wrong and are a popular choice recommended by midwives and clinic nurses, especially before baby has teeth. this shape also tends to work better for breast fed babies as their tongue is positioned under the teat as it is during breast feeding and this helps prevent nipple confusion.

the dummy will gradually change to a darker colour during use. this is normal and is your signal that it needs to be replaced. you should generally replace your child's dummy between 6-8 weeks of use.

i've had frankie on the natursutten dummy for two weeks now and i highly recommend them. if your baby has a dummy and it's time to replace it, don't head to big w, jump online and give these ones a try. you can purchase them from eco child {http://www.ecochild.com.au} for $9.96 each.

hot spot : little kickers gold coast

i like to take summer to the occassional activity lesson. i don't like to fill her week with activities, there's plenty of time for a social life once she gets a tad older, i'm sure! she currently goes to swimming lessons, and more recently she has joined little kickers.

what's little kickers? play not push - a fun and imaginative introduction to soccer for children aged 2 years to 5 years. devised in the uk in 2002, little kickers has arrived down under to benefit our little aussies.

it's so much more than kicking around a ball. the idea is to use soccer as a fun medium to help the kids learn social skills like listening, sharing, taking turns and teamwork; practice learning skills like colours and numbers; and fine-tuning their basic balance, agility and co-ordination skills.

it's heaps of fun, and although it's not just all about kicking soccer balls and scoring goals, this does happen and let me tell you, there are some champion goal scorers in our group! i have to tell you about one of the little kickers... in one of our first sessions, he was scoring goals and then doing the whole lift his shirt over his head and running off with his arms in the air thing. seeing a 2 year old do this had me in stitches, what a legend!

we sit in circles at the beginning and end of the lessons and say hello and goodbye to each and every player. we pass the ball around the circle, putting all of those above mentioned social skills into play yet again.

and... they even get stickers and stamps to go home with! can't get much better than that!

the coaches are awesome. our coaches at southport are coach amanda and coach dane. coach abbey {in the middle with summer} and hubby coach brad are the ones who have brought little kickers to the gold coast.

sound cool? sound like something you'd like to take your mini me along to and check out? well your first session is a free trial session, so why not! for us gold coasters, there are currently sessions on saturday mornings in southport and pac pines. classes are at 8am, 9am, 10am and 11am in both locations. you will need to contact abbey on 07 5574 9027, 0457 602 219 or goldcoast@littlekickers.com.au to reserve your free trial spot and to find out more information. little kickers gold coast have also recently started up a facebook page, so if you're on facebook pop over and like their page to keep in the loop and up to date with classes and little kickers goss.

check the little kickers website for other locations accross the nations. i noticed there are loads of nsw locations to choose from.

review this + giveaway : marquise fundies

toilet training started in our house a few weeks ago. it was unexpected and unplanned, and as many a mum tells me, it will happen when it happens. there is not a truer sentence said in the world of parenting. is anyone else toilet training their mini me's?

we're quite big on nappy off time here. from my own personal experience, i find it's a fast way to help clear up nappy rash. so when miss 2's back teeth were giving her grief and her nappy rash started, it was off with the nappy for a couple of solid days at home. we got one of those toilet training step ladders, with the mini toilet seat attached to it, a while ago from toys 'r' us and have been suggesting to summer that she could go to the big toilet on her special seat whenever she would like to. and whilst she was having nappy off time from her rash, what'd'ya know, she wanted to hop up on her seat and do wee's in the toilet. i couldn't believe it. seems she was paying real attention to all that suggesting, and right there and then, it was obviously time to take it forward and start this toilet training bizo!

it's was all very very cute, and we were all of a sudden in the market for tiny teeny little undies. no sooner later, we got a gorgeous announcement on our emails that marquise has a brand new line of undies called fundies. so i got some in for summer, and let me tell you, they're are the cutest little things ever! they are avialable in a 2 pack for $12.95 and come in sizes 2-3, 3-4, 4-6 and 6-8. i particulary like that the label has been sewn down in these undies so it doesn't annoy the kids while they're wearing them. we did duck off to big w and picked up a pack to get us started, but they have a big tag at the back {which i thought was actually ridiculously too big in general, let alone for kids undies} and summer keeps putting her hand around, grabbing it, saying "what's that mummy, what's that". so i am loving the flat labels on the marquise fundies.

they're made from 100% combed cotton and they are fantastic quality with a great firm stretch, they're definately undies that are going to last the wash after wash they get. they're also breathable and help remove moisture away from the skin, keeping them comfy and happy to have them on. there are quite a few different designs and you can pick some up from myers or dj's.

marquise have sent me an extra 2 x 2 packs of their new fundies to giveaway to 2 of you lovely readers. i have a girls 2 pack and a boys 2 pack, and both are sizes 3-4. the girls pack are the pink and white butterfly fundies, and the boys pack are the robot and striped fundies. the robot is very cool, i like this design! if you would like to go in the draw to win a pack, you just need to leave a comment here with your name and your email address {so i can contact you if you're a winner} and state if you'd like the girls or the boys pack. good luck! i'll draw a winner out next thursday.

and please, if you have a toilet training story you'd like to share, please feel free to do so. i love hearing other mum's advice. i found that we got off to an excellent start with it all, and after a week or 2 of home training, i ventured out into leaving the house with undies on summer instead of a nappy. i think it's more scary for me than it is her! it's a long, full on process and we've taken a couple of steps backwards, but it's all perseverance, i'm sure! xx

review this : stuck on you lunchbox & name labels

do your children have any of the stuck on you products? summer has quite a few things from the stuck on you range that she has acquired over her gorgeous little lifespan. and it's hard to say we have a favourite, because we literally use everything she has in our every day travels, but recently the latest trends lunchbox has been coming everywhere with us!

it comes to swimming lessons with all of our yummy treats and water packed inside it. it comes along with us to do the groceries, filled with all of those very important 2 year old necessities, like a squishy caterpillar toy she won at timezone and her purple beaded necklace! and just on the weekend it came along with us to afternoon tea in the yard with our narna and biccies and cups and saucers for our tea.

i'm really not sure how we survived without this handy sized lunchbox before now! i highly recommend it to you. the size is perfect, it's 23 x 20 cm, so it's not too small, it fits in a drink bottle gorgeously, and it's not too big to cart around either. it has a handy carry handle at the top, summer carries it herself, an easy to open zip around the edge, a mesh compartment on the top inside lid and it's all easy to wipe clean. you can choose a sweet design to have on the front with your childs name printed on the design, we of course chose the owl design {totally loving owls}. and... the price is only $29.95. love that.

the other little goody we got were the latest trends name labels. we got these ones in the caterpillar design, because i can't have absolutely everything in owls now can i! you get 50 stickers for $29.95. if you've never used the stuck on you stickers, then you are in for a treat. just like their slogan says, labels that stay stuck, and that they do! name labels are always handy to have in the drawer, i love them and i stick them everywhere. i think it's just a really cute touch to put a little name label on a lunch bag. i really want to buy some in my partner's name and pack him off to work with name labels all over his lunch. hehe!

there is an art to pouring the perfect cup of tea. and i think my daughter just about has it down pat at the age of 2; tongue and little finger all in correct positions!

review this + giveaway :: chooks in stilettos

with a title like chooks in stilettos, i knew this book was going to have a few chuckles in it! carolyn donovan (aussie model, mother and observer of everyday life) has written a book that gives an honest look at the glamorous side of life. this is one funny read and not only did carolyn send myself a copy of her book, but she popped in an extra one too, so i'm giving the extra one away to one of you!

the book is a crack up, there were multiple paragraphs that made me giggle, like this one ::

"my mummy uses those to bath us with," my pre-schooler daughter announced to the man brandishing a pair of barbecue tongs in each hand as he turned sausages at the school fete's burger grill stand. a quick glance either side of me reveals that i am the only adult she could possibly be referring to. my mouth opens and closes a few times. a long pause hangs heavily in the air. "once!" i stammer in defence. "... and only because i was covered in fake tan!"

it's a funny take on the life dealings of carolyn's modelling career, family life and everything else in between. carolyn not only entertains us with the words of an industry insider, and shares with us some clever tips, but links us together with the many-sided scenarios of being women! she writes amazingly well and any woman will enjoy reading her book, i know i did.

if you would like to win a copy, just leave a comment below and your email address (if you prefer to not leave your email address public, just send it to me in an email info@yummymummies.com.au, just so if you win it i can contact you). i'll draw someone out from a hat this friday. if you don't want to bother about trying to win one, you can pop over to carolyn's website and grab yourself a copy.

review this + giveaway :: bugalug

i love it when i open up my mailbox and get greeted with divine products, products like these gorgeous hair accessories from a canadian company called bugalug. as you can see in the above photo, my mini me doesn't have a whole lotta hair happenin just yet, so i was delighted to find that the gorgeous bugalug clips don't slide off her fine hair. and because they don't slide off, means that miss mini me doesn't realise they're in her hair and alas stay in for most of the day! that's one point for mummy with that sneaky trick!

i'm also a bit of a headband lover. i find it so easy to just chuck on a headband of any sort to take a bad hair day into a not so bad hair day. have a look at the cute bugalug headbands, i love them, they are fully adjustable with a clear plastic lock at the back of it and they fit any head, from infant to adult. i think that's another point for mummies!

i have teamed up with the lovely erica from bugalug and together we'd like to give away a little pack consisting of a headband and pony loop, as pictured above. if you would like to score this little pack, you just need to become a fan, or a liker, or whatever we're called these days, of the bugalug facebook page and leave your email address here on the blog, below in a comment. pretty easy stuff for a pretty neat prize! i will have my little apprentice draw a lucky winner out on friday. good luck xx

review this + giveaway :: invite with style

i had the absolute pleasure over the weekend to review some gorgeous invites made by a gorgeous brisbane mum named anna. anna is the owner of invite with style and she has designed the cutest range of invites ever. anna and i have joined forces and we'll be giving three lovely readers a pack of invites each, so you can see for yourself how beautifully made these invites really are. and of course, use them for your upcoming event!

i think these two boy and girl birthday cards are pretty cool. love the rocket theme and love how the girls invite is bright and colourful. below is a quick snapshot of more of anna's designs. baby shower, baby boy, baby girl, christening, birthdays, you name it, anna will make it! for those of us who aren't clever enough to whip up some invitations ourselves, it really can't get much easier than having your own personal graphic designer making your cards for you!

review this :: penny scallan children wellies

i love receiving beautiful packages in the mail. when summer's penny scallan gumboots (wellies, gumboots, whatever you call them) arrived last week i instantly fell in love. i think they are so cute and fun, i love the bright happy colours of this apple design pair. summer is loving them too, and i'm thinking they will be worn a lot this winter teamed up with her many pairs of huggalugs she has in her drawer - beach, mud, puddles or even to do the groceries. and they will also make for great photo's too!

the wellies are cotton lined with a rubber outer, so they are nice and comfy for the littlies feet. they also come in three other designs: simply daisy, navy star and skull. they're $29.95 and available in sizes 6-12. you can check them all out here.

i could hardly get summer to stand still for me while i was taking these photo's, up and down the sand hills, walking through the rocks, she was smitten with her new fun shoes, she kept looking down at them while she walking around. our beach was pretty yukky yesterday and it was so windy. not sure if it's from the tsunami warning? maybe. i did end up getting one quick photo of her standing still...

review this :: back to school with stuck on you

i am a bit of an organised person and i just love stationery. so you can imagine i was thrilled to bits when stuck on you asked me to review their back to school products. i used to love january's when i was a kid. not only did i get to celebrate my birthday before going back to school, but i also got to pick out all of my books and folders and pencils and sharpeners. it was always my favourite month of the year, i loved it! i used to write my name on a skinny bit of paper, sometimes colour over it with a highlighter, put sticky tape on the top of it, and i would wind it around my pens and pencils. and that was how i labelled my things! yes, times have certainly changed!

not everyone is like me however, and i'm sure when you're a parent of one or more kids that are going to school, buying for back to school probably isn't on the top of your favourite things to do list! thank heavens for stuck on you! i am super impressed with their stylish tools 4 school pack, it's quality, designer and has everything you need. the whole pack is personalised with your name and you get a pencil case filled with a ruler, scissors, 2 hb pencils, eraser, sharpener, a set of 10 coloured markers and a set of 12 coloured pencils. this pack is $34.95. back to school goodies really doesn't stop there though, so do yourself a favour and click on over to their website. there's backpacks, lunch boxes, library bags, notepads, budding artist packs, name labels, clothing labels, shoe dots... i really can go on and on, but i'll leave the rest for you to discover!

review this :: mums card

what a fantastic idea a mums card is! mums are some of the busiest people there is, so why shouldn't we have our own "business card". i recently received my own cards from the lovely tanya at mums card and i am just so happy with them. the cards come packaged in a funky silver tin which is nice and skinny, so finding a spot for it in the handbag was no drama's at all. i chose single sided elephant cards with the white background, i just love these elephants to bits! i love all of the designs actually, none of them are daggy or over the top, they are nice, simple, stylish and colourful. and so damn handy!

i think these would make a wonderful baby gift, i would have loved to receive them anyway. they are an awesome way to give out your phone number at any kind of mother's meeting groups or events. a great way to keep in contact with new mum friends! also great to leave with the babysitter or nanny, i even popped the dad's contact number on our cards, for just incase i'm out of reach. there are loads of ways to use mum cards, and not necessarily just for the mums either. pop on over to the website and see some of the idea's for yourself. you'll be glad you clicked!

i am also hooked on the gift tags. a birthday card is always lovely, but seriously, we mostly just throw them into the recycling bin a week later, don't we? with the fun designs you have to choose from, you'll be hooked too. very 2010.

review this :: designer collection by stuck on you

i received a super lovely package from stuck on you that consisted of a couple of items from their designer collection. i have to say, i absolutely loved what i got! already famous for their name labels, stuck on you have now introduced a gorgeous collection that features canvases, height charts, labels and t-shirts like the one summer is wearing. these t-shirts are fantastic, they're made from quality fabric that i know is going to last my toddler through her adventures!

even through her so called funny new tricks! i love these pair of birdies on the t-shirt, so whimsical and so cute, with gorgeous modern colours. we also got some groovy vinyl labels which we labelled onto summer's lunch box. she thought it was very cool and thought we should label everything that is in the tupperware cupboard, not just her lunch box! the vinyl labels are made to stay stuck, even through the dishwasher and in the microwave. so no more half peeled off labels!

i am really impressed with not only the quality of the products from stuck on you, but also the modern designs and the whole fun factor of it all. you should definately pop on over to their website and check out all the other groovy stuff they have. you won't be disappointed!
