A Greek Sunday Lunch

August 18, 2013

Review of Kelo-Cote Silicon Gel for my C-Section Scar

August 15, 2013
When I was approached three months ago to review Kelo-cote® gel on my C-section scar, six months post op, I was hesitant. A fear of the unknown and having never applied cream to my original, first C-section scar, I was unsure it was for me. However after researching the gel, I was impressed with the evidence*: it is clinically proven to smooth, soften and flatten scars, reduce redness and discolouration and relieve pain and itching. With a red, raised and angry scar after my second C-section, I decided to try out the gel.

My Boys

A Magical Weekend in London

Blogging is not just my (4th) love and job, but it's also a great way to experience events, products and experiences I can share with my family.

Win my Beautiful Bouquet of Roses & Lilies from Serenata Flowers worth £54.99

August 9, 2013
So when Serenata Flowers asked if they could send me a bouquet from their online collection to review and host a competition, I typed 'yes' and 'thank you' as quickly as my fingers could, before telling my husband he'd been let off the hook from flower buying duties for the next moth at least...Aren't they pretty too!

Christmas in July

July 29, 2013
I was recently invited to attend the Christmas in July exhibition where I would see all the latest products available for kids and adults out for Christmas, but with my childcare (the folks) on a three week vacation, I sadly couldn't make it. It did get me thinking about Christmas though and despite the summer heatwave, before you know it, it will be here, a mere five months away!

So at 10 months old in the UK, your baby gets reviewed by a health visitor and today was Alexander's turn to 'perform', be weighed in those funny sink shaped scales every baby hates and measured as flat as a wriggling baby could be!

Your reminder that children tend to release their Your reminder that children tend to release their most intense emotions with their mothers because their nervous system literally responds to her presence. Brain scans reveal that stress circuits deactivate up to five times faster when a child is reunited with their mother.

As stress drops, pent up emotions naturally spill out, allowing children to process and express feelings safely. This physiological response supports emotional regulation, attachment, and the development of trust between mother and child. #research #stats #viral #motherhood #DidYouKnow statistics brain scans researchers emotions children behaviour
