An Explanation and a Giveaway!

I haven't posted anything on here for a while. The main reason for this being that my mum is here visiting again so we are spending some quality time with her and making sure she has a good visit! 

The second reason being that we have just started potty training and it is going rather well. It took us a while to get Calleigh to  be okay around the  potty, for some reason she developed a little fear of it and would scream and cry at the very mention of the word. In just a few short days she has gone from that to actually sitting and staying on the potty until she ha done her business. She now tells me when she needs to go and we have had some really great progress! Of course it hasn't been without it's accidents, which is why I have been concentrating my attention on her and her new mission, if you will. I find that if we are not giving her attention she doesn't think to tell us before she needs to go but rather afterwards.

I will post more on our potty training progress at later time but for now would just like to say how much we are enjoying having my mum here with us again!
I really love having her here and Calleigh is loving it too!

We have also been away this weekend to Branson and had a great time and have also planned another weekend trip to go to the Lake of the Ozarks so I will be sure to post about them very soon! I have a lot of catching up to do!

Until then I have put together a little giveaway to keep you going until I can get more posts up. I thought it would be a nice way to make up for the lack of posts and give you the chance to win some goodies!

The winner will receive:

• 1 Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Limited Edition "Our Little Prince" Gift Set which includes 2 x 90floz/260ml Bottles and 2 x Pacifiers 0-3 months.
• 1 Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Limited Edition "Our Little Prince" Feeding Bottle (90floz/260ml)
• 1 Huggies Clutch and Clean Refillable Wipes Holder (32 wipes included)

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Open to US Residents only. Giveaway will run for 1 week from 05/20-05/27. All Entries are optional, the more you do the more chance you have of winning. All entries will be verified!

Cut it Out Wall Stickers Review and Giveaway

At the moment we are in the process of giving Calleigh's room a little update. She is no longer a baby any more and I think the time has come to give her her own little space. Obviously as we are renting at the moment we have had to look a little outside the box when it comes to decorating the room to make it "hers". 

So when I was contacted by Cut it Out Wall Stickers and asked if I would like to review one of their lovely wall stickers I jumped at the chance. Cut it Out Wall stickers create beautiful and personalised Wall Stickers that can add that special touch to a room. 

They have a lovely and extensive range from stickers for a girl or boys room to stickers to spice up your kitchen and living spaces, all at very reasonable prices. My personal favourites are the inspirational quote stickers. 

The sticker I chose for Calleigh's room was the Personalised Once Upon A Time sticker.

I was so happy when the sticker arrived and couldn't wait to get it on the wall. I went straight to their website and their How To Guide so I knew exactly how to put it up. I must admit it wasn't as easy as the video made out, in fact it actually took a really long time and it was quite fiddly, you can see in the picture below where I struggled and screwed the "e" up. Luckily, It's not too noticeable.
So one thing I would say when you go to apply your wall sticker, make sure you have more than one person!

The end result though was completely worth it. I love the wall sticker, it really adds a personal touch to Calleigh's room! I am really looking forward to buying all her new furniture and seeing her room transform.

And now you can win your choice of wall sticker from Cut It Out Wall Stickers. Just enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter form below.
