Penny pinching!

September 22, 2009 By: Liz McNamara Category: Money

Had my first e-mail today from a friend asking if I wouldn’t mind not doing the kids pressie thing this year for Christmas,  I must admit I was quite relieved she took the initiative and my list is now reduced just a little.

I’m sure I’m like many of us,  always looking for ways to save money and skim a little off the top - without having to res-use tea bags and become a recluse. So of late I have a become a bit obsessed with voucher websites and money saving tips websites and I’m sure I’m not the only one. A couple of friends and I get a selection of newsletters from these sites and share the best deals - thus cutting down all the reading!

Menswear Winter Warmers!

September 11, 2009 By: Louise Kilburn Category: Fashion, Shopping

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!

Winter Warmers

September 03, 2009 By: Louise Kilburn Category: Fashion

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…)

Hectic Mum’s You Tube faves!

August 28, 2009 By: Liz McNamara Category: Fashion, Fun, Shopping

Bit of a hectic week this week for me, we’re doing the x-mas shoot for getthelabel.com, x-mas I know!

So I thought I’d give writing a rest and just post a few of my favourite You Tube vids to hopefully give you a giggle. Feel free to send me a link to yours :)

Charlie bit my finger - an golden oldey but this still makes me laugh.

Best baby laugh!

Give me a lollypop! This video is from Mugglesam and it’s a great channel, so many cute videos.

Not kid related but I just had to put in on here…singer Katy Perry + cake = disaster!

Also to put a smile on your face - we’ve got some great new clothes and shoes on Get The Label at the moment for mums, dads and kids, from £6.99.
