A necklace that your baby can safely chew. Just Genius!
If I had known about this fantastic product 6 months ago, I would have gotten one in every colour. They also do matching Bangles! Unfortunately, I only just discovered this teething bling, and my baby has gone past the chewing everything in sight phase.
This will definitely be a gift to the next girlfriend of mine who has a baby. Especially love the Jade, Turquoise, Pink Cupcake and Cotton.
Travelling mums hear this - I have found the ultimate in travel shoes!
I was surfing the net for Christmas presents (and best travel items) when I came across Tieks. They are quite literally, the best discovery I have made in a while.
Tieks are basically foldable ballet flats that come in their own little bag, and can fit into your purse. Plus, they come in lots of nice colours, so despite them being abit pricey, I ordered a pair in Metallic Pewter (the other colours I wanted were all sold out!).
Your Tieks are delivered to you in the prettiest blue box with a flower on top - which is supposed to match the colour of shoes you ordered, but mine were silver so. Pink ? Anyway, it's not some cheapo fake flower either. The stigma/stamen (?! my science is rusty) bit is actually jewelled, and the elastic band attached to the flower makes it re-useable as a hair tie!
These show my Tieks folded up next to my iPhone. You can see that it will fit into most people's handbags quite easily.
Finally, when I tried them on and walked around, I could not believe how shoes that can be folded in half could be so comfortable!! Although they are compact, they are not flimsy either. The leather is of a good quality, the soles are non slip, and the heel doesn't dig in at all.
My only slight complaint is that the leather looks a little 'wrinkly' when you put the shoes on. I know this is because they are soft and foldable, thus they take the shape of your foot. But that isn't going to deter me from ordering another pair! Obsidian Black? Mustard Yellow? Wild Copper? I'm on the waitlist...
Just tried these yummy crisps that I bought from Swiss Butchery. Ketchup flavour did sound abit dubious, but they actually taste quite subtle! Not at all the strong, tangy taste I was expecting - like you get with tomato Twisties. Good for kids. Well, they're not good for children, but you know what I mean. They are bland enough to be palatable to kids! Not to be confused with the UK version of Monster Munch (which is alot cuter but probably alot more unhealthy).
I'm going on a family holiday to the US in December and over the last few months, I've been slowly accumulating all manner of 'useful' stuff for traveling with two babies. One of the things on my wishlist was a double stroller.
At first we thought we would make do with our current Aprica stroller and we bought a Gelite Backpack/Stroller for our 1 year old. But then after testing it out at home, the backpack stroller was just too heavy for my husband. My son weighs 10kg, so the Gelite stroller... is now kind of obsolete. Anyone want to buy a brand new, never been used Gelite stroller? Lol!
Anyway, I had seen the Phil & Teds strollers around town and I thought it looked like quite an efficient stroller, so I started reading reviews etc. Then finally, I looked around and found a great second hand one in really good condition! Only 8 months old and hardly used. (Pic below demonstrates how my 3 and 1 year olds fit in the pram - but pic not of my children!)
So far we've taken it on a couple of test runs around the malls and here's my analysis:
1. I really like the slimline double stroller. Good when both kids want to nap.
2. Almost impossible to get up the escalators with this pram. I know it's not really allowed but I never have trouble with my Aprica. This pram is long and heavy, so it's hard to balance on the escalator.
3. Nowhere to hang my diaper bag without hitting my kids head. So I had to buy the Phil & Teds 'Saddle Bags' which attach to the sides for storing stuff - the bags themselves have no compartments within, so have had to use ziplocks to separate clothes, bottles etc.
4. Folding and storing is a hassle as you have to disconnect the doubles attachment and reattach to the front of the pram. This stroller is definitely not for quick in/out of the mall type trips.
Welcome to Try It Mummy!I'm a stay at home mum with two little ones. As you know, children are expensive things. To clothe, equip and educate them costs a bomb!I spend lots of time surfing the net for reviews of stuff for my kids, so I thought, why not share all my research with all the mummies out there! We all want the best for our kids, so I hope I will help by reviewing when I try stuff out :)Let the trying begin!
