Challenge Number Two: #VanishGoldForWhites

April 10, 2015 By jbmumofone 16 Comments

Challenge Number Two: #VanishGoldForWhites

In the second #VanishGoldForWhites challenge I decided to test it's stain removing properties when faced with the multiple types of dirt my kids regularly come home covered in. First I took one of Little Miss' clean white baby grows... Then I... 1. Rubbed it on the wet grass 2. Rubbed it on the flower bed 3. Smeared in some ketchup 4. And some marmite 5. And then added red wine for good measure.   (Ok so the kids aren't likely to come home with this one but I wanted to see how it would fare.) It was actually kinda fun.   Next, I followed the instructions on the box ...

Preparing Your Child For Their First Sleepover

Preparing Your Child For Their First Sleepover

The boy is now at the age that we are beginning to consider sleep-overs with friends.  I must confess that I am a little bit nervous about it, more so than him. He has only ever stayed with his grandparents without us previously, which are totally familiar surroundings.  I worry that he will wake in the night and not know where he is,  I dread the thought of him wanting me, or Daddy, and not being able to find us.  Oh why do they have to grow up? I have decided that before we embark on his first proper night away from us to let him get a little familiar with his ...

Review: Extend Dishrack from Joseph Joseph

Review: Extend Dishrack from Joseph Joseph

I confess that am a huge fan of Joseph Joseph products.  Their utensils and tableware have a certain unique style and I love their trademark bold lime-green colour.  When I was asked if I would like to review the new Extend dish rack for them I jumped at the chance.  Not just because I love their products, but also because our drainage board tends to look like this most of the time... We don't currently have a dishwasher and there is simply never enough space in one rack to let everything drain so we have resorted to adding an absorbable mat alongside, and I worry this is ...

Because You Can’t Toddler-Proof Everything…

Because You Can’t Toddler-Proof Everything…

I am currently sat at my dining room table, watching the most amazing video, taken by the awesome PinkOddy, of this years danceathon on a cracked i-phone screen. Completely cracked screen, top to bottom. This crack was a result of me dropping said phone, as it was ringing, trying to answer it, whilst holding Little Miss wrestler-style under one arm, and simultaneously trying to prevent The Boy with the other arm from stepping in front of an oncoming cyclist. BOOM. Cracked screen. As a parent I am sure I am not alone in this. I have heard frequent tales of toddlers just “giving ...

Travelling in Style: The Cosatto Hipstar Hug

Travelling in Style: The Cosatto Hipstar Hug

As a Cosatto brand buddy we were lucky enough to be given a choice of car seat from Cosatto's new SS15 collection.  Their motto of 'baby stuff with personality' is absolutely bang on for this collection.  It is bright, cheerful, colourful and can't fail to make you smile. The Boy was beginning to get too tall for his old seat so we took a look at the Group 1-2-3 seats and decided on the Cosatto Hug.  This is a  high-back booster seat which is suitable for children weighing 9kg right through to 36kg, so approximately 9 months of age until they are eleven or twelve. ...

Review: A Super Scamp Suit From Muddy Puddles

Review: A Super Scamp Suit From Muddy Puddles

It is a somewhat hectic time at Casa B right now.  We are hoping to move house at the end of next week and shortly after will be heading over to visit my sister and her family in Canada.  Whilst all being very exciting I have not had a huge amount of time to prepare and the kids need kitting out in preparation for the cold weather we are likely to encounter. When Muddy Puddles offered to send Little Miss a scamp suit to try I could not have been more delighted.  It is EXACTLY what she needs for this trip, and this winter in general.     The Scamp Suit is fully ...

Battling The Bogies With Snufflebabe and Dentinox

Battling The Bogies With Snufflebabe and Dentinox

It is that time of year again.  Strictly has started, yay, we are beginning to think about Christmas, yay yay yay....(Find out how to order an extra special Christmas treat for your children here.)...and we are once again battling the bogies at Casa B. If you are in any way squeamish about nasal expulsions you may want to stop reading at this point.  Then again, if you are looking for a simple solution read on! The Boy, thankfully, seems to now be beyond the seemingly constant streaming nose that starts in October and ends around April if we are lucky.  Not so with Little Miss.  It has ...

Back to School With a Little Help from Stuck On You

Back to School With a Little Help from Stuck On You

With many parents facing the prospect of a new school term there can be a million and one jobs to tick off.  I know one of my own parent's least favourite of which was the dreaded sewing on of name tags to that year's uniform. Thankfully, this no longer needs to be the odious task it once was and we have been delighted to review a school starter label pack from Stuck on You.  The pack contains 54 iron on clothing labels (6 large - 60x12mm, 15 small - 48x10mm, 21 mini - 46x6mm, 12 dots - 24mm), 52 name labels (30 small – 48x10mm, 22 mini – 46x6mm), 8 shoe dots (24mm diameter) and 1 Cool Kids ...

An Italian Adventure With The Cosatto Supa Pushchair

An Italian Adventure With The Cosatto Supa Pushchair

We were lucky enough this month to have a short break in Tuscany visiting Mr B's brother, Uncle Ben.  On his last trip to the UK we made the discovery that our existing pram was unfortunately too big for the boot of his Fiesta.  He had very kindly offered to pick us up from Pisa airport which had left us with a bit of a dilemma.  Leave the pram behind and carry Little Miss everywhere, my arms ached just at the thought,  or pay for a larger hire car. Luckily, in the nick of time, we were chosen to be a Cosatto Brand Buddy, yay, and were sent the Cosatto Supa pushchair to review.  Being a ...

First Birthdays with Fisher Price (Review)

Your child's first birthday is a huge milestone for any parent and can be quite an emotional time.  The lovely folks at Fisher Price helped us to celebrate this with Little Miss this month by sending us some products from their new 1st birthday range.   Within the Fisher Price website they have created a 1st Birthday microsite where you can find everything you need to plan the perfect first birthday including a checklist, handy hints and tips, 1st Birthday gift recommendations along with free downloadable party planning essentials such as invitations, gift tags, banners,  and thank ...

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?
