Who Am I??

In the Past few weeks I have seen some very eye opening things about myself, some I like and some… not so much. It has made me realise that I need to change and appreciate more who I have in my life. That I need to realise that everything that I now do affects my children and if I want to be successful (I do, I do) then things need to change. In order to change, I am writing how I would like to be living in 5 year’s time.

In 5 years’ time I would like to be happily living as Mr and Mrs in our own house which we have mortgaged. Decorated to my standard with the Cutest Furniture, A BIG garden for the Boys with a tree house they can play in. I would have an office, which was organised to perfection and colour coordinated to which jobs on which days. A schedule to which I keep to everyday and a cleaner that pops round once a week.

My Business will be successful in a way I will enjoy and I will still have time to do the fun things that mummy’s do like cuddles and hot chocolate with a Film or going and seeing the Stinky animals at the Farm. I find having my boys has made me vulnerable, I miss the old me where I trusted no one unless proven otherwise and wasn’t trampled on like a Door mat. I would like to think my presence will be more of a professional front than the immature and worried nature I am finding I am clinging to, and I will be more certain of who I am. Who am I??

We will have taken our boys to meet Mickey Mouse in the Florida sun, and I could dance with Prince Charming like I did as a child, apart from now I have my own real life Prince charming.*cue sick bucket!

I would like to be in a nice Stable place when I could occasionally go out and treat myself to a sexy pair of designer shoes and every desert had something from Marks and Spencer’s.



I very much think at the moment things can only get better, after all Life is how you make it.

Review of Swiggie the 21st century drinking bottle.

This is the Swiggie from Swiggies uk

As you can see by the Packaging it is a bottle that will go on your wrist, at first I though it was a great concept for kids and runners, but how would a pregnant mummy like me use them too.

 This is the Adult swiggie.. I asked for this colour.. and had a terrible LOL story when I took my son to the shops in it, seen below and one of the workers in the shop I was in thought it was something that my son had on because he was poorly (woops). Once I had explained the product she thought it was fab, but because of this, that is why we then chose to use the smaller yellow ones. 

Here's my wee man walking with the Swiggie on, he absolutely loves them, I have to say I think that this is a Fantastic product for a parent as my son has been to the park, Played in the garden, Took him to town and I know he always has a drink to hand, it is so much easier than carrying a bottle around and having the issue of them then not wanting to give it back lol

Here's my Little man drinking from his Swiggie.

Swiggie for Daddy.

The photos of my partner make me lol he is so cute, he hates having his photo taken hence the look on his face, as you can see while doing the gym he had his swiggie on. 

This one was not meant for review purposes, this one was because he was nosey to what he looked like after doing the weights.. but because as I noticed he had his swiggie on I thought I would include it ;)

Swiggie for Mummy

 And here is how I think Swiggies are great for a mummy, while pushing a pram it is such a pain trying to walk and drink from a can... admit it we have all done it!! So knowing I had a drink to sip while on my journey is a nice feeling especially being pregnant and it being hot weather I feel the heat more.

Swiggie Tests

I put the swiggie into the dishwasher, it passed came out clean but the swiggie logo was washed off.. which is to be expected :)

It also says swiggies can be frozen.. and they can as you can see below I put the swiggie in the freezer all was fine and Daddy happily used the really cold swiggie while doing the gym as not only did it give him a cool drink it kept his wrist cool.

 For a families point of view I think swiggies are great, I would recommend them mostly for children, but here's a list of other uses.

Training, competing and warming up for all types of sports
Fishing
Walking
Cycling
Sailing
Riding
Gardening
Work, school, university, etc.
When in hospital, incapacitated, injured or disabled

I have only one off point about this product which is that my son, the small pain he is lost the lid on his swiggie a few times, I have suggested to Louise maybe an attachment that could be added to stop this problem.
