Hair - Story


She was born with lovely dark hair

P1000482

From birth i knew i would let it grow long and lovely . Of course i did not count on someone shaving a patch of her hair to put in an IV (IN HER HEAD )

As she grew so did her hair

(Although i struggle to find pictures that show how much she really had , it seemed short from the front but was long at the back) .

Now she is 5 and i still love her hair

It is long and shiny , i love just sitting brushing it. Her hair is still baby fine and it makes it difficult to style and it looks messy two minutes after you brush it.

I am still attached to it though , we have discovered her hair now touches her bum and it makes us all giggle :)

My Blogging Rules

I admit it - i am hanging up my "wanna be a top blogger hat" . I was determined , i was going to build this blog up and up and make it into something. Then i was hit with the realisation - I DON'T WANT TO. I enjoy blogging , it is fun but that is it . If now and then i get a free product or a little extra cash yah but otherwise i don't want this is be my "job" . I don't like writing , i don't like having to compete or come up with something interesting . I just want to be me .

I have drawn up a set of blogging rules for myself which include

1 - Blog when i want , if that means once a day or once a month it does not matter. Don't feel the need to post everyday.
2 - Take part in anything i want even if it means my blog is only made up of that content (which means project 365 - the gallery - Silent Sunday etc.)
3 - Don't check stats (deleted accounts from google analytics already)
4 - Have fun , don't stress , enjoy

That is it :)

I already feel i have my life full and while stopping blogging was not an option , stopping trying to hard was . My kids are growing up , i am attempting to build a career (outside of blogging) , i have a husband and a house and want to read every spare second . These things are me and i love them .

I will still be around but i am no longer caring if i am part of the in crowd or not and this makes me feel happier than getting thousands of hits ever could.

Education


I was worried when my eldest started school . Her speech is behind and she is selectively mute . She is not a perfect student and never has been , it is not so much that she struggles with learning but she struggles with patience . She has never done anything when she was "suppose" to , she does stuff on her own schedule and you will normally find she does it well .

None of this phases her , she is happy and while she may not be top of the class she enjoys it . She loves to learn and thinks homework is amazing .

Her latest love is adding - this is her favourite thing ever if you ask her . She loves to be asked addition questions and loves for us to ask them back .

I am so proud of how far she has came this first year in school.

Wemmi Wipes

"From babies to bike riding, cooking to camping and from triathlons to travelling, Wemmi’s are the ultimate handy expandy wipe."

Product – Wemmi Wipes - "Handy expandy wipe"

Product Description – "Wemmi Wipes™ are:

* Environmentally friendly
* 100% natural
* Chemical-free
* Disposable
* Re-usable
* Conveniently packaged to suit all situations
* Brand new!

In fact, Wemmi Wipes are really rather good!

Each Wemmi Wipe™ is a small, dry tablet. The Wemmi expands when you follow the Wemmi Way.....WET ME.....GROW ME.....USE ME.

Wemmi Wipes are available in three different packaging options, depending on your intended use.

My thoughts –It took me a minute to work out what they were , there are so small and compact and at first i was thinking they were some sort of sweets . Once placed in water they expand and open out quickly and do a great job of cleaning (be it kids , adults or objects) . I love how they are small enough to keep a few in my purse or pocket .You need to have some sort of water source to wet them which could be a problem , once i used a little water from a drinking bottle which opened it right up and meant i could clean my kiddies dirty faces. As they are chemical free and just contain water they are perfect for sensitive skin .

Kids Thoughts -The kids think they are magic , they don't care about the wipes of course but find it "amazing" the way they expand when placed under water. I have lost about half the ones i was sent to review with them playing with them. I admit the giggling is almost worth it.

Would i buy it myself ? -Yes , at the moment i normally have baby wipes with me as my youngest is still in nappies but i always seem to miss them when out when my older ones. These wipes are a perfect replacement and something i would definetly purchase myself.
