Car Trips and Home Dance Parties with Niah & ABC For Kids

Being a Mum means things change drastically in your life.
One thing that changes as they get older is they start to control the car music. You'll be cautious of what stations you will tune into because of their chat discussions and language or your little one will find a favorite TV show that brings out a soundtrack or musical sing-a-long CD in which our case the favorite is The Wiggles.

Everyday for about the last year we have been listening to The Wiggles and sometimes even Mummy me will forget there is no Niah in the car and have it playing autonomously and then realize I know all the words and being having a little sing-a-long karaoke session on my own in the car.

We were sent 4 selected titles to be able to finally change over current CD of The Wiggles which has been on repeat for too long to even count.

Another CD that has all the old favorites that kids enjoy listening too. A sing-a-long boogie CD that has titles like I'm a Believer, Zip A Dee Doo Dah, Come On Get Happy and more.

Back to Work with Jeanswest [Fashion Post]

As you might have read recently on my blog this Mumma has returned to work and it was time to get decked out in new threads for work. All the things I used to wear to work prior to having Niah didn't fit me anymore and were undated pieces of clothing that weren't for this seasons weather.

I went into Jeanswest a few weeks ago to get some jeans and was actually really surprised at the clothing range other than jeans that were in store. There was pieces that I thought yeah, I would wear that to work and this is how it become so I teamed up with Jeanswest to shot some of there clothing in a back to work post.




Courtney Sleveless Fur Gilet - Available in sizes XXS to XL in colors black marle and biscuit marle (as pictured). A blend of 85% Arcylic, 15% Wool making up for a warm and soft vest. Added length to the back keeping that bottom warm. Single clip button near the waist area. Perfect for over the top of shirts on mid warm days. Very light to wear and snugly warm.

Flavia Mixed Fabric Shirt - Available in sizes 6 to 16 in colors coconut (white) and night blue.
A very delicate soft shirt made from 100% viscose. Two (2) sorts of paneling on this shirt with on the shoulders having a more clear see through area. Button up collarless shirt with adjustable clip together sleeves to make your shirt into a 3/4 style.

Winter Warmers with Emerson clothing [Fashion Post]

The colder weather is approaching well should I say has arrived early for us in Melbourne. We have been experiencing the bone shattering Antarctic like weather since early May in my opinion.

Emerson are a clothing line which you have come across before but if you haven't then you will find them in Big W stores. Emerson runs through all genders and ages for clothing. Affordable and stylish.
I don't own very many pieces of clothing that have been brought from boutique like specialty stores because I find that I can get what I'm looking for from stores like Big W that are at a more affordable price range and keep the extra dollars I save on their clothing to purchase several more pieces of clothing.





Emerson Pointelle Pullover - I wasn't 100% sure on getting this piece as I'm not really a big color person when it comes to clothes as I'm used to hiding away in my dark colors but I really loved this color when I saw this pullover and thought let's go try it on and see how it looks on me, I was surprised when I tried it on and that I could actually wear something like this and feel comfortable.
A loose knit material that is light - best put over the top of a singlet as it does go see through, through the knit.

Emerson Long Leggings - As above - one of my favorite wardrobe must have items!

Emerson Ankle Boots - These really got me shocked with a $9 price tag. Hello bargain!! Super comfortable and cute on the feet. The back of them has a low cut which goes down to the top of the ankle and allows for all size ankles to fit in nicely. Available in a royal blue, black and beige (as pictured) color. 

Le Uaina Beach Resort, Samoa

On our second trip to Samoa for this year we wanted to try up some other hotels and we only learnt of how close Le Uaina Beach Resort was to our family village when we visited earlier in the year.

Le Uaina Beach Resort is located in Faleapuna, Samoa. 35 mins from the airport and just in the next village from my families hometown, Lufilufi.
With three different rooms to choose from - Beach front view, Ocean front view or Garden view.
A restaurant and pool on site. With the local 'milkbar' shop just opposite the resort.

On our first two nights stay we stayed in the beach front room which is a little villa on it's own located only a few metres to the open ocean. In the beach front room you are presented with a double bed and a single bed with your own ensuite. The shower was the best thing ever - it was massive and really was a 'family sized' shower. You could shower all the kids at once and yourself after coming from the beach or pools which were only a few short steps away.

When we returned back to the hotel (we were staying between different hotels and families houses depending upon what we were doing on our day to day basis) we stayed at the Garden view not by choose but because they had a little muck up on the bookings and overbooked unfortunately so we couldn't go straight into the Ocean front room.

The garden view room presented you with a double bed that was not the comfortable of beds at all and I honestly wouldn't recommend staying in the garden view rooms unless you are on a budget and only in there for one night. The garden view does also feature an ensuite as well.

The next night we moved into the Ocean front room which was simply a more stunning and secluded little hut to be in. It had that real calming feeling towards it allowing you to really relax and take in the beautiful sights of the Samoa ocean front.
The Ocean front room was pretty much the same as a Beach front room but you are just in a even closer location to the ocean and are in a more private area.

Each room offers air conditioning as well as a fan for extra comfort from the hot and humid Samoan weather and an LCD TV in each room.


Le Uaina's onsite restaurant allows you to dine in front of the water, catching the cool breeze come night time under a beautiful big talie tree in the middle of the deck, keep cool indoors with there indoor dining or order room service and eat from your rooms.


A selection of meals are available which high recommendations from us being the Pizza and Spaghetti Marinara washed down with Samoa's own beer - Vailima.


A buffet breakfast is included in your room price which you can stop into the restaurant to eat or ask for it to be delivered to your room. A selection of fresh juices, fruits, cereals and toasts are for your choosing.
Le Uaina don't just stop there, they offer you all the attractions tour guidance that you need with taking you to all those must see spots or activities to do.

Le Uaina are definitely a resort that's affordable, comfortable and offer fabulous customer service. When we asked, we received and they were more then willing to be at your service.

Le Uaina - we will be back. We highly recommend considering a spot to Le Uaina should you ever visit Samoa.

Baby Bumkins Baby Wipes [REVIEW]

All us Mummies know how critical baby wipes are in our lives when children are blessed into our lives. They become that essential that you freak out if you leave them behind and are completely lost without them.
