Home Improvements: A Luxury Bathroom

home improvements bathroom titleAnother home improvements post from me today. Because it’s Monday, it’s raining, so I’m dreaming of luxury!

We had our bathroom refitted a couple of years ago and we absolutely love it. But there’s always new products on the market, new trends, colour schemes, new crazes. So it’s only natural to think about how you might change things if you were to do it again.

There were a couple of things we wanted in our new bathroom that we didn’t get. Mainly because of price. I would still love them if we could do it all over again.

Home Improvements – Thinking About My Dream Bedroom

home improvements dream bedroom titleWe’ve lived in our house for almost 6 years now, and it’s going to be our home for a while longer. We’d love to move, but after both of us being made redundant we can’t afford to upsize.

I’m a little obsessed with scouring Rightmove for dream homes. I’m torturing myself really, but I still find myself looking at houses for sale in our area and dreaming about our forever home.

Vileda Windomatic Vac Review #UnexpectedResults

vileda-windomatic-review-titleOk, I’ll put my hands up, I don’t wash my windows. My mum will cringe at me admitting that! I really don’t have time to wash windows. I barely have time to wash myself, let alone go out side with a bucket and sponge and start scrubbing. So when Vileda got in touch about reviewing their Windomatic Vac, I was intregued to see if it’s the sort of product that’s ideal for busy families.

A-Z Blogger Challenge – N is for Netflix

Netflix has been a family friend for a while now. I would say Netflix is watched at some point in our house almost every day, whether that’s on the TV, iPad or iPhone.

As life is about to get a bit hectic with the arrival of baby number 2 approaching, I think Netflix is going to become a family member rather than just a family friend!

I won’t have time to keep Lamb occupied when I’m feeding/changing/cuddling baby boy, so if he’s after a bit of down time then he will be picking something from the Kids section on Netflix for when we are at home and a bit stuck for something to do.

Night feeds will mean mummy has lots of time to watch things, and this is what I’ll do to keep my eyes open! I’m sure Daddy will end up with a playlist too for those nights when Im in bed when the baby is.

Here’s what’s on our playlists.

Mummy’s Playlist

  1. Once Upon a Time – I’ve already watched most of this, but I don’t think I will be finished before baby arrives so this is first on my list to watch during night feeds.
  2. Absolutely Fabulous –  this is one of my favourite shows ever and I’m so excited it’s now available on Netflix!
  3. Pretty Little Liars – I’ve heard this is amazing so it’s on my list for things to watch during those pesky night feeds.
  4. Mr Selfridge – I never got round to watching this when it was on TV, to be honest we are too busy watching Netflix so always miss good TV shows.
  5. Dexter – I watched this ages ago and got to season 6 (I think!) so I want to catch up as there are now 8 seasons to watch on Netflix. This might have to be a nursery day watch so I don’t get too scared at night!

Lambs Playlist

  1. Kong: King of the Apes – Lamb has just started watching this and is really enjoying it, so I’m sure he will be watching it on our sofa snuggle days.
  2. Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles – Lambs new obsession!
  3. Peppa Pig – I don’t know why but Lamb is loving Peppa Pig at the moment. I’m sure he will be watching this over and over during TV time.
  4. Avengers Assemble – I can’t tell you how many times we have watched this movie! My little Avengers loving 3 year old would watch it every day if I let him!
  5. Frozen – He loved this movie when he was younger, but has recently started watching it again, and as I like it too I’m happy for him to watch it during our days at home together.

So that’s what we will be watching in the near future. Do you have any recommendations for myself or Lamb?

Work From Home Mum – HP Instant Ink

instant ink pinI was recently introduced to a new service from HP – the Instant Ink replacement service. As a work from home mum this service is invaluable to me and certainly something I’ll be looking at setting up in the near future.

The service is really straightforward. You basically buy yourself an eligible HP printer, then set up a monthly plan based on how many sheets of paper you print a month. The printer then automatically orders the ink you need before you run out so you are never short of ink.

As I run my children’s clothing brand from home, I need to print fairly often – invoices and shipping forms etc. I also have a 3 year old that is obsessed with me printing Avengers colouring pages for him to paint, so I can often get caught out with low ink and none in the house to replace. It’s not always easy to get to a shop that sells ink, especially as I’m 37 weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old to drag along! It’s going to be even more difficult once baby number 2 arrives. I know I can buy online, but I’m so forgetful, there has been a few times where I’ve been without ink and had to wait for it to be delivered.

This is definitely a service that would be really helpful to a work at home mum like me, and what’s even better is you can save up to 70% on your ink by using this service!

Take a look at the video below for more information on the HP Instant Ink Replacement Service.
