Win a New Baby Energy Saving Hamper From E.ON Worth £200

Win a New Baby Energy Saving Hamper From E.ON Worth £200

With baby number two due in just five weeks time I am conserving my own energy levels wherever and whenever possible, although this is not always easy to do with a bouncy, bubbly, two year old boy tearing around. I am also aware from previous experience that energy usage around the household can increase enormously with the arrival of a new baby.  Major contributors to this usage tend to be: The washing machine.  In those first few months the laundry basket appears to take on a life of its own and is never, ever, empty!  Muslins, baby-grows, blankets, bibs...they just keep coming. The ...

Prize Draw: Win 12 Bottles of Limited Edition Raspberry and Rhubarb Punch from Shloer

Finally, the summer appears to be making an appearance. This has meant more time in the garden here at Casa B. Whilst Mr B has spent the odd evening sipping away at a nicely chilled glass of Rose wine, I have been super lucky to have been sent some limited edition raspberry and rhubarb punch from Shloer to try. It is a grape based sparkling juice drink, minus any alcohol, and flavoured with raspberry and tangy rhubarb. It is delicious served over lots of ice with a slice of fresh lime, though would also be lovely served with a few fresh raspberries too, and is really refreshing. So, ...

April Prize Draw: Win a Seasonal Care Package from Olbas and Jakemans

We have not been the healthiest bunch here at Casa B of late.  Along with a nasty bout of Norovirus it seems that at any point this year at least one of us has had a cold.  Last month it was me and Mr B is currently suffering from an extremely sore throat. I was, however, lucky enough to be sent a seasonal care package last month from Bray Leino consisting of:  Olbas bubble bath (250ml) - this is perfect for relaxing aching muscles and unblocking stuffy noses with a lovely scent of eucalyptus, juniper and clove. Jakemans mini menthol cough sweets in two flavours, original aniseed ...

Prize Draw: New Tetley Estate Selection Tea

Prize Draw: New Tetley Estate Selection Tea

The lovely folks at Tetley recently sent me a box of their new Estate Selection tea to try. I was delighted. Who doesn't love a good cup of tea? We are already daily Tetley Tea drinkers at Casa B but it is our regular tea. Our first thing in the morning, just got home from work, just fancy a quick sit down regular-tea. When we want something a bit fancier Mr B will whip out the Earl Grey although personally I sometimes find it a little too perfumey. I have found this new Estate Selection Tea to be the perfect compromise. It has just a slightly more floral taste than regular Tetley, ...

Prize Draw: Luxurious Revive Body Butter (RRP £20) from Hotel Chocolat

I was delighted when the lovely folks at Hotel Chocolat sent me this luxurious Cocoa Juvenate Revive Body Butter to review. You just know it is going to be good when even the packaging exudes elegance. I had such a busy day running about with the boy yesterday, we even spent 40 minutes just going up and down the escalators/magic-stairs in House of Fraser while we waited for Daddy to finish work, and by the time we got in I was feeling pretty exhausted. Once he was safely off to sleep I decide to have a bath and then give this product a whirl. I had been looking forward to trying it ...

Win a selection box of delicious Byron Bay Cookies

Seriously, is there anything better than a cup of tea or glass of milk and a cookie when you get home from school/work/shopping/the gym? How about a cup of tea or glass of milk and a MASSIVE cookie, oh yes! I was recently asked to try out a rather scrummy selection of cookies from the Byron Bay Cookie Company and, being pregnant and thankfully therefore not dieting, and craving milk like there is no tomorrow, how could I refuse them? That would just be mean. *Rubs hands with glee*. I nearly snatched the postman's hands off when my selection box arrived, and was delighted to discover ...

Prize Draw: Photo-Canvas, Making the best of your photos

Prize Draw: Photo-Canvas, Making the best of your photos

I was recently asked if I would like to review a photo-canvas from www.photo-canvas.com. Mr B and I had actually been thinking for some time now that we should really do something with some of our honeymoon photos so we were delighted when this opportunity arose. Photo-canvases are becoming an increasingly popular way of displaying digital photos and at www.photo-canvas.com your picture is printed on a woven canvas which is then hand-stretched over a strong, anti-warping frame. It took me a while to decide on which photo to send them but eventually I decided on this one. This shot ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
