As people across the country search for some early summer sun, they pack their suit cases and jet off across the globe for a holiday to beat the blues. But, with an empty house also comes the huge risk of burglaries. Criminals seize the opportunity to let themselves into your home to steal your valuables. …
Sometimes all our kids want is a nice chill out session with the TV. With 3 girls in the house (ages 2, 4 and 5), we are no strangers to Disney. We have a Netflix subscription which is great, but it does lack Disney classics. Luckily Disney now have their own fantastic subscription streaming service; …
We love reviewing pushchairs, and with another baby on the way (due September!) my mind has been wandering to which pushchair we would like for this new baby. A few years ago I was lucky enough to work with a popular parenting magazine reviewing pushchairs, but it occurred to me that despite running the review …
At the end of last year you may have read my thoughts on our new Smart Advance double mattress from Vegas Mattresses. We were very impressed and our quality of sleep has greatly improved since making the switch. Our 4 year old was then given the same treatment with her Bounce mattress, also by Vegas. …
Bit of a different post from me today. I never write about clothing or fashion. Since originally writing this post, I have only been wearing nasty leggings because we are painting the house, and ripping up flooring. Only ‘eugh’ clothes allowed for jobs like that! Now I am ready to publish this post, It’s reminded …
First of all, sorry for the delay in getting this post out there, even though I promised all of you that you would see it last week. My health hasn’t been great, hence why it’s all been quiet here at TheNewhouseFamily HQ. Hospitals suck. But I’m feeling better and in the mood to PARTY, even if …
As soon as October 1st arrived the kids were super excited about Halloween. They wanted to drag out the storage box of plastic spiders and cobwebs, which we keep ready for each year. I may have also accidently mentioned a Halloween party, which they instantly thought would be happening right there and then. So… On …
We all love Poundland. There’s bargains galore, all year round. Easter, Halloween and Christmas are all given a special shelf in store each year. This Christmas (is it that time already?) Poundland have some new awesome stock. Star Wars baubles. Star Wars stockings. Star Wars Hats… My husband is one very happy man. TheNewhouseFamily take …
Starting up the car just to pop to the shops, the pub or even for the school run not only burns a hole in your wallet every time the key is turned, but it’s also no fun at all. Driving from A-B is boring. You’re also damaging the environment. Oh, and if you’re planning on driving …
Today, a new breed of pushchair arrives. And it’s rather special…. I’ve had my fair of strollers over the last few years since having my 3 daughters. Some were amazing, and some were a bit of a let down. I’ve never owned a car, so needing a durable pushchair for long walks across town was …
We had the luxury of testing the new KAZAM Tornado 348 – previously the worlds thinnest smart phone. Who are Kazam? Kazam formed in 2013, with a view to challenge the status quo of the “European mobile industry”. My knowledge of the European mobile phone industry isn’t great, but if Binatone, Alcatel and Telefunken are anything to go by, then …
You may have read on my blog that we popped along to The Baby Show at London’s Excel a few weekends ago. A lot has changed since then, we have had a baby! And with a new baby comes new wheels. We have spent the last week with our toddler in the test seat, prepping …
My skin is aging and there is no denying it. I have 2 small babies and another on the way in a matter of days… 22 days to be precise, until my due date. Kids, home-life and general wear and tear of life may not have been as kind to my skin as I hoped …
I’m quite lucky in that I have a pretty nifty smart phone. I’m also quite lucky in that I have two very curious, often very sticky children, who help themselves to it whenever they catch sight of them. They also enjoy talking to Nanny on the phone in the evenings, usually just after dinner, so congealed …
