So, what have you got planned for your kids this half term? The weather isn’t too bad oop North at the moment so I’m taking full advantage of that for my plan - to embrace the great outdoors! It can’t do me any harm and Kian loves being out in the sun - I just hope the weather holds out!
Autumn half term
So, as I said last time, I spoiled myself with pieces from the new Get The Label catalogue when it landed on our doormat. A week or so later I’ve been thinking that it’s only fair to see if there is anything I fancy for Mr Hectic Mum to Be. I’m spoilt for choice, however below is my much edited version of what I might be adding to his wardrobe - if he’s a good boy of course…oh, and if he lets me use his card!
Well it looks like summer is over before it’s begun folks! I can’t believe it’s September already - where has the year gone?! And we never had the long hot summer we were promised either!!! What happened to the weather?! But, am I depressed and discouraged? No? Why not? Because the shops are filling up with all the fantastic autumn/winter fashions - and its my favourite time of year!! I’m a real cold weather girl! Don’t get me wrong - I love the sunshine as much as the next person but when it comes to fashion my heart belongs to jumpers, scarves, coats and boots! I love to wrap up warm and get cosy!! (more…)
So the big news in the Kilburn household and the Hectic Mum office this week is the news that I am now a Hectic Mum To Be!!! Having felt very tired for the last few months (my mum thought I was anaemic) and also putting weight on, I failed to realise exactly what was going on until the 16th person asked me if I was pregnant!! Right, I thought, I’ll take a test just to prove them wrong!!  But, I ended up proving myself wrong. Having broken the shocking but happy news to my husband I booked an appointment at the Dr’s for a second opinion! She confirmed I was pregnant and estimated I was about 16 weeks!!! (more…)
It’s that time of year again – yes sale season is here at Get The Label!! And we at Hectic Mum love this time of year - we can fill our wardrobes – and those of our loved ones – for half the price. And when you’ve got kids it’s all about budgeting wisely as we all know well!!
So, what is the sensible way to shop the sales to ensure that you don’t end up wasting money on stuff you won’t wear and you only bought because it was cheap? My three sale rules are keep it simple, go for the basics and try everything on!!! If it doesn’t fit you now it probably never will – so take a deep breath and if it doesn’t do up – walk away!!
I’ve had a look on the Get The Label site and found a few perfect pieces for you to snap up…
