Wednesday’s stuff, but no nonsense
Congrats to fellow Irish blogger, K8 the GR8 and new hubby TAT on their big day - pop over to K8’s blog and have a look at the kids in their wedding outfits. Adorable.
Stuff to see and do:
Check out Disney 7 member Linda’s fabulous new blog, havealovelytime.com All about travelling with kids, there’s hotel reviews and day trips and a certain guest blogger might even have an Irish hotel review on there soon *cough*
The kids’ vitamin company, Haliborange, has launched a great new website. There’s tons of arty and cooking stuff to do over half term (remember, National Family Week is 25-31st May). I loved the video ’cook-along’ with celebrity chef, Lesley Waters. And for your budding High School Musical stars there’s going to be tutorials from performing arts guru, Sylvia Young! Log on to: www.shinyschool.com .
The All Ireland Food & Drinks Skills Conference is on in Cromleach Lodge, Sligo on Wednesday 20th May 2009, organised by Taste4Success – a day long event on facing challenges and opportunities, promoting products and where to cut costs and differentiate in the Food & Drinks business.

Disney stuff:
After your very own pair of Mickey ears? Don’t miss the My Mickey ears auction - celebrity ears up for grabs – organised by Disney and benefiting Great Ormond Street Hospital. Daisy Lowe’s ones are seriously cute.
Disney scoop: TOY STORY 3 is coming!!!! And it’s in 3D!!!

Thanks to Fairy Non Bio Gel for sending me stuff to test (I’ve had their website running in the background and found the sound of bubbles popping strangely addictive). It came top in my smell test, with Bold 2 in 1 Pomegranate and Orange Blossom a passable runner up, although sometimes I find the tablets don’t dissolve. I’m well on the way to using it up and have to stop myself from sniffing my children as they walk past – they smell gooooood. Oh and I’m loving all that squeezing gel into the lid too – muchos fun.
Other stuff I’m loving:
I’m still after a couple of these:
and one of these (thanks to lovely commenter, Hockeysticks, for the reminder. Thanks also to the very patient Diane at Crann Dair Chicken Rescue for her answers to my exhaustive questioning. In the UK, contact the Battery Hen Welfare Trust.
Elave Hand Wash for my seriously dry, itchy and very gnarly old hands (no wonder I suffered from ‘claw hand’ in all the Disney shots.
Benefit’s Hoola: fab bronzer without the ‘I’ve been tangoed’ effect, and their ‘fake’ foundation Some Kinda Gorgeous - a cream-to-powder type thingy. The lady at the airport put it on me with a brush and I’ve never looked so polished (I usually look like Aunt Sally off Worzel Gummidge).
Coming soon:
Step by step vanilla muffins, news of a brand new cookbook, Lego Duplo sets to giveaway and more stuff from our trip to Disney (altogether now… oooooooh!) x
EDIT: Ooh and just had to add: has anyone seen Peaches Geldof modelling the new ‘Miss Ultimo‘ range? I’m loving the underwear, but check out the serious tattoo action on that girl – she has more body art than the clientele of half Britain’s greasy spoon cafés!
(why doesn’t anyone ever send me free stuff?)
I eagerly await the muffin challenge.
Moon: Sadly, they all add to the muffin top I’m currently developing!!
SPD: Welcome! Have you seen how much they are though? The one I want is about 600 quid! Muffin challenge on its way!
You’ve been awarded over at my place http://yummiemammy.blogspot.com/
Baino: Moi? Girly?
Oh yes, I’ve a foolproof step by step on the way – you’ll love it. And I’m desperate for that foundationy stuff – I kept looking at myself in mirrors and thinking ‘wow my skin’s good’ :0)
(I think I know the answer already!)
Kate: Does doesn’t it? And how much fun is squeezing all that gloop into the little cup thing? I possibly need to get out more though!
Paddy: They’re recommendations, not ads. And sweetheart, I recommend you get some Fairy Non Bio. You’re a bit whiffy. Ahaha
