Mummy saving expert: apps special

I have previously talked about how to mummy on a budget  and since then I have found more ways to save and even bag yourself a freebie. All you need to do is download a few apps, sign up to emails and then you’re sorted. I have listed my favorites below.

Terrible two's blues

The dreaded terrible twos has begun for my youngest Xander.. We now have daily tantrums, throwing things, screaming, and he knows when he is doing something he shouldn't, he'll do a cheeky little smile and do it anyway. He still manages to fit in loads of cuddles, kisses (even though he rubs them off), and the cutest dances in between, so, I guess that balances it out. Everyday is full of a roller-coaster of emotions but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Mummy on a budget

Anyone who knows me knows that I am very cautious with what I buy. I love a bargain and seem to manage my money pretty well. I’ve listed a few pointers on how I save money but making sure the kids have smiles on their faces!

Review: Bella Italia, Uxbridge

Source As a family we eat out a lot, although every week we say we’re not going to, we always end up going somewhere to eat. Mainly due to our lack of cooking skills. We have recently been using sites like Groupon and Wowcher to find cheap deals. We found one for Bella Italia on Groupon which cost £21 for 2 three course meals. Pretty cheap huh? Neither of us have been to Bella Italia before, here’s how we got on.

Review: Aldi Lacura vs TRESemme

I've been using TRESemme for a while now and although it is better than my original shampoo I was using (I normally just grab whatevers selling for £1 for dry damaged hair). I wasn't too sure if it's worth the money, my hair is in pretty bad condition and although its softer with TRESemme it's still in pretty bad condition. I've been trying out a few Aldi products as previously mentioned I LOVE their nappies, you can check that post here. So why not try their shampoo?

Teething troubles

Source My little one is teething pretty bad right now. He has four teeth and no sign of any more coming through apart from the crying, and not sleeping. He also has been shaking his head a lot, he done this before his last tooth came through. I'm hoping all this trouble these teeth are causing him means maybe a few are coming through at once.

Top 10 Garden toys

My little one and my nephew love to play in the garden and it has been perfect garden weather recently! I've been looking on Amazon for garden toy ideas and have listed my top 10. We already have a giant connect 4 which Ryker loves and we have a skittles set (paw patrol obviously). All images are linked to Amazon if you want to buy any of the toys. I've recently applied to join Amazon affiliate so if you are interested in any of the toys it would be amazing if you can use one of my links to buy them. Thanks and enjoy.
