One of my friends let me know about these when Miss NHM was only a few months old.
They are made from 99.9% purified water and are, apparently, the only wipes suitable for newborn babies. (You’ve gotta love marketing!)
You can buy them from Amazon, Boots, Superdrug, the NCT Shop, Ocado and a couple of other places.
They are quite expensive but I felt that they were worth while for the first 9 months of Miss NHM’s life. We couldn’t afford them after that! :-D.
Apologies to the vegetarians who read NHM (Sorry Su!!! :-D) but this is a great tip for the meat eaters in your life.
I’ve raved many times about how slow cookers are fantastic and help me to feed my family healthily.
I can’t even remember where I found out about this, but it’s so easy and makes such a delicious meal.
Buy a chicken, stick a lemon inside it and put the chicken in a slow cooker that’s large enough.
You can also put in an onion that’s been chopped into quarters and some peeled garlic cloves.
Put your slow cooker on for 7 to 8 hours.
That’s it.
This will be the most moist chicken you will ever eat and you can make it last for several leftover meals afterwards as the meat just falls off the bone.
I do this on Sunday’s as it means we can go out for the day, I don’t have to worry about dinner for the evening and we can still have a roast dinner or chicken salad.
I found out about Baker Ross years ago but I had completely forgotten about them until recently.
They say: “Art and craft supplies to keep the kids busy, including craft essentials, themed crafts, seasonal craft ideas and much more.”
If you are looking for very reasonably priced crafting materials and projects, check out Baker Ross.
If you sign up to their newsletter email you also get extra discounts.
This is a bit of an unusual “top tip”, but the whole ethos of NHM is to “share” so I’m sharing this with you as it might help someone else! ; -)
If you are a larger busted lady and you haven’t discovered Bravissimo yet, you are in for a treat.
Bravissimo provides underwear for the bigger bust. I ONLY buy my bra’s from Bravissimo (sorry for the TMI! :-D) because they are always great fitting and they hold their shape longer after washing compared with other bra’s I’ve bought from elsewhere.
I also found that Bravissimo was the only place that did maternity bra’s and nursing bra’s that fitted me. (Again, sorry for the TMI!)
Our local Bravissimo is in Reading, down a side street that is next to John Lewis.
Bravissimo also now have a new brand called Pepperbury which is for clothing for the larger busted lady and are worth checking out if you need some smart clothing.
Is your little one getting bored of eating the same breakfast every day?
Do you need to entertain in a hurry?
Are you looking for a little indulgence? (sounds like a proper sales pitch! lol)
I discovered these awesome mini frozen croissants and mini pan au chocolates about a year ago but a lovely NHM Reader also mentioned them on the Food posts I did in April last year.
I buy them when they are on special offer, either 25% off or buy one get one free. I then just keep them in the freezer until I need them.
They are great for brunch with friends, which we do a lot of these days as it’s easier with small children and you still have the rest of the day to do other things or fit in naps.
They have saved my butt on a few entertaining occasions too!
I delegate the “baking” of these to Mr NHM and he has got them off to a “T” now! ????
You can buy the selection pack or individual packs from Waitrose:
12 Bake From Freezer Mini Butter Croissants Frozen Waitrose 300g
12 Mini French Butter Pastries Frozen Waitrose 340g
8 Frozen Pains Au Chocolat Waitrose 480g
6 Charentes Butter Pains aux Raisins Frozen Waitrose 6 per pack
Don’t eat them all at once though, as they aren’t that healthy!
