4 Reasons Why The Johnson's Baby Care Collection is Perfect

Image
After a lot of thought and using several 'well known' products,I settled for the Johnson’s range because most of the products do not have an overbearing or strong smell and they suited my baby's skin and hair just fine. The Johnson’s Baby Care Collection is a very economical pack, certain to benefit a new mother. It's an all-in-one pack that contains the most required baby bath and body items. What's even better is that is comes with an Organic Cotton Baby Romper and a cute Baby Milestone Book. Apart from being a handy and perfect gift, a new mom using this pack will find that it: 1. Reduces the hassle of buying items separately and is therefore more economical. 2. Contains all the essential items, from a romper to a comb (and even baby wipes!) so no last minute worries but an assurance that you have everything you need. 3. Allows you to record precious memories and moments of your child in the  Baby Milestone Book. 4. Can be used to sample all...

April Features ! An Update of the TOP(ics) Featured on The Blogger Mommie

Image
Before I begin, I'd like to say "Thank You!" for the many likes, shares and comments in the past month. April was indeed the most productive month of the year for me, The Blogger Mommie and apart from the regular blogs, I have also began to create my own quotes and participate in specific and 'loved' product reviews. I hope you have found this information useful and in case there's a specific product you'd like me to review, we can certainly discuss it and set out some guidelines. Here's a quote that garnered the most likes on my page in the past month. Blogging about my everyday experiences still remains my all time favorite and one of the most important things I wrote about was learning to put my phone away in my child's presence. It has by far been a tough experience but I am determined to set the right behaviour rather than wait until it's too late. In a few years time, I don't want to be sitting at home or in a restaurant ta...

The Blogger Mommie is Proud to Feature: Sasha Peterson

My next (and final) featured MoM is more than a friend. Sasha, Sash and I have know each other since we were kids and we also have common cousins but as a Mother, she is certainly a role-model and embodies the modern, calm, cool, adventurous, balanced and very chic Mom. At a kids event, you're likely to see her with her son on her shoulders (something I wish to master someday), at holidays and even otherwise she's there spending every minute with her precious son and with the brightest smile. Read Sash's take on Motherhood. My favorite part is where she talks about equipping herself with patience and strategy because your child is always watching you.. . so, so important when raising kids today. Her message to Mom's is enduring and will certainly leave you with so much thought.... trust the decisions you make for your child! I guarantee, you'll enjoy reading her take on Motherhood. IN HER WORDS..... Motherhood! The best role I have played till date. I've ...

Toddler Activity Zone - Magnet Activity

Image
I am always trying to encourage busy, alone time for my toddler but his attention span is so short and limited. 10 minutes at most! Here's another idea I stumbled on while trying to get my son to be occupied in the car. This Magnet Activity is a great idea when you're traveling by car or at home when trying to teach 'quiet time' or encourage a toddler to play alone. You will need a biscuit tin cover (danish cookies anyone?😊) and a couple of magnets. I found the Melissa and Doug Magnets to be very colorful and economical (available choices include farm animals, dinosaurs, cars, alphabets).  If you do want to purchase them you can use any magnets that might be colorful but remember they should be FLAT magnets (nothing to be swallowed). The Biscuit tin cover can be used to arrange and  rearrange the magnets, or just about anything! While on a car trip, you can call out the name of the animal, dinosaur etc. so the child stays engaged. Watch this space f...

Learning to Put My Phone Away When I'm With My Child

Image
"Mamma, close. Close the phone."  says my son  "and keep it under pillow." All of two years and my son knows exactly when I'm not giving him my 100 percent. Just five years ago, my phone was nothing but a means to communicate with my husband and friends. In a short span of time, its use has tripled to become a very important part of my world. As a writer, I constantly feel the need to work on something, send an email, write a blog article, message a friend. I'm sure you get my drift.  Every morning when I wake up, I automatically reach for my phone and sometimes, I'm busy checking social media several times a day. A simple incident a couple months back made me rethink this routine and realise why exactly I need to put my phone away when I'm with my child. I was chatting with my husband one evening, telling him about a contest I had participated in. I was very animatedly describing what I was doing to win while my husband was busy scrolling t...
