Competition: Win £40 worth of skincare products from Yes To

The days are getting shorter and with autumn and winter knocking on the door, it's only a matter of time until you snuggle up in wooly jumpers and roast in front of the radiator. But did you know that it's the change from cold air outside and warm air inside that makes your skin dry and sensitive?

To help you through the winter months and make sure that your skin stays glowing and nourished, Mummy Alarm has teamed up with Yes To to offer you the chance to win a Yes To skincare package worth over £40.

Yes To's deliciously nourishing formulas combine high quality organic fruits and vegetables with the power of 26 minerals and trace elements and leave your skin feeling great with an unmistakable healthy glow.

Begin the day by using Lycopene-enriched Yes To Tomatoes Terrific Totally Tranquil Facial Hydrating Lotion (50ml, RRP £12.35) rich in tomatoes, an essential source of Vitamin A and C that also encourages a fresh shine-free complexion, and Rosemary, a natural antioxidant.

Give the skin a serious moisture boost, with Yes To Carrots Night Moisturising Cream (50ml, RRP £12.35), which contains a host of antioxidants such as Beta Carotene, Vitamin E and Green Tea, with purifying dead sea minerals to help replenish and refresh during the night. Waking up never looked so good!

After a chilly Autumn day, Yes To Cucumbers Calming Facial Mask (48g, RRP £11.99) gives tired skin a gentle boost of nourishment and helps reduce puffiness, whilst the Yes To Cucumbers Facial Towelettes (30, RRP £4.99) contain cooling Cucumbers, Aloe Vera and Green Tea to detoxify and rejuvenate all in one swift swipe!

Competition: Win one of three pairs of Bobux

From birth to three, little feet undergo an enormous amount of change. Whether crawling, toddling or walking, a child’s footwear needs to support healthy, natural development.

Bobux, a leading New Zealand innovator in children’s footwear, draws on both science and working with globally renowned specialists and natural health researchers to create eco-friendly footwear that allows unrestricted development as babies and toddlers grow. Bobux offer three ranges of footwear based around the philosophy that children do better when they’re comfortable, happy and free to develop as nature intended. Each shoe is designed to support key stages of a child’s development from crawling to walking.

Soft Sole (indoor wear) 

The first ever soft-soled elasticated leather baby shoe was created in 1991 by Bobux founder Chris Bennett. These are soft, breathable and flexible shoes for babies of 0 to 27 months. Made with eco-leather and non-toxic stitching and dyes. With a unique elastic ankle support, these Bobux originals works with little feet as they grip the floor, flex muscles and spread toes, assisting in crawling and making those first steps as easy as possible. The fun, colourful soft sole designs also work to stimulate little minds just as they’re starting to take in visual information. It’s like having a mobile on the end of their legs!

Pre-walk (outdoor wear)

They feature a revolutionary duo-flex sole (leather round the edges and rubber underneath) to support but not restrict natural movement during those first few steps. The pre-walk range consists of sandals, ballet shoes and sport shoes.

i-walk (outdoor wear)

A soft, flexible rubber-sole shoe with extra grip that conforms to the natural walking motion of little feet allowing them to grow and explore without restriction, avoiding malformation and spinal issues later in life. The i-walk range consists of sneakers, loafers, casual shoes and sandals.

Please, use separate comments for each entry. Failure to do so will result in only one entry per person. 

How to enter:

1. If you want to win a pair of your choice, fill in your details in this competition form, pop over to Bobux's website and leave me a comment telling me which pair you would like to win and why.

Mummy Alarm Competition: Win 2 copies of 'Shoot the Baby"

Shoot the Baby is a beautifully presented book offering advice on how to take great photos of babies and toddlers – and we have two copies to give away. Ideal for the amateur photographer, it is packed with tips, advice and composition ideas, presented in a light-hearted style to help parents to capture the best of those precious first years. Shoot the Baby bridges the gap between novice photographer and keen hobbyist - a market which hasn't been addressed by photography books to date. The advice and ideas in the book work with a full range of cameras from mobile phone to digital SLR. No additional expensive equipment is required to take advantage of the tips to create stunning baby photos.

The book is split into two key sections: top tips and composition ideas – with beautiful images used throughout. The tips are written succinctly in list format and cover a range of topics such as planning, lighting, props and how to encourage a winning smile.
The second half of the book - ‘The Subject Matters’ - gives fully illustrated ideas for suggested shots and key milestones to capture such as the first haircut, tooth, birthday, Christmas – and shoes.
Shoot the Baby’s humorous style and winning images mean it can be enjoyed by anyone who loves children; photographers and non-photographers alike. Published by Vero Press, Shoot the Baby is available on www.amazon.co.uk and www.shootthebaby.co.uk at a cost of £12.99.

How to enter the competition:

1. If you were a paparazzi, which celebrity would you like to take a picture of and why?

Competition: Win 2 FlexiBaths and co-ordinating bath toys

Three years, two Danish engineers and one million pounds transformed a frustrating problem for all parents into the award-winning FlexiBath. The FlexiBath is the first ever foldable baby bath tub, it resolves storage concerns by folding flat and can fit just about anywhere; against the wall, in a cabinet, under the bed. The FlexiBath is made of hard plastic with soft folding lines made of rubber, which makes it both stable and flexible, for additional safety and comfort, the bottom of the bath has a non-slip surface. 

Although at first sight the bath looks smaller than traditional baby baths, this is an optical illusion, once filled with water it expands easily accommodating two babies aged 0-4 years. New parents appreciate its easy storage, safety features and environmentally-sensitive design.
FlexiBath have not only introduced the new purple colour this year but they have also just launched a fabulous range of co-ordinating bath toys. The bath toys include an ingenious small table, which can be attached to all bathtubs, the table offers an additional space to play with their favourite toys while enjoying a bath.

Win a Family Day Out at The Enchanted House in London

When families plan a day out there is always one problem: you have to compromise. Usually, what is best for you as parents is boring for your children and what is best for your children isn't that much fun for you. Take that fabulous spa or that delicious cream tea in the lovely hotel down the road: You just start enjoying yourself when your children get restless start tearing the place apart. If you go to a soft play area, it's your children who have a great time while you sit around sipping nasty coffe out of plastic cups waiting for the time to pass.

The London Art House has come up with the perfect solution for families that want to delight and pamper parents and children at the same time in the same setting, so that everyone goes home feeling that they've had a wonderful time: The Enchanted Sunday.

Whilst parents lounge around on sofas in beautiful rooms, reading magazines and newspapers, eating their most sumptuous breakfast or afternoon tea, children can enjoy exciting play areas right there in the centre of the tea rooms! Activities include cupcake decorating, puppet making, balloon modelling, lego and construction, clay, and really unusual arts and crafts. There is even a special activity area for babies making sure that your very little ones are entertained, too. If you haved enjoyed a massge or a manicure (additional but very reasonable costs apply) in the childfree chill-out zone, why not let your little ones run wild in the Enchanted Kingdom? The Enchanted Kingdom is a place full of lights and sounds, all manner of amazing things for parents and children to do together. Children can run around to their hearts content, do African drumming, perform puppet plays, enjoy sand and water play and join interactive games with professional play leaders/actors. And there’s face painting and dressing up of course!

 

For available dates, bookings and more information visit Enchanted House online. There are also Easter Specials available that still can be booked.

ido-personalise baby photo competition & giveaway

Flashback Friday is running in its forth week now and I am already absolutely hooked to it. I just love the fact that so many bloggers open their photo albums to share their memories with each other. Looking at old photographs instantly makes me walk down memory lane - even when I am looking at someone else's pictures I start comparing them with own memories. Have I ever been in a similar place? Who was I with? What did we do and what did I feel? It's amazing how many emotions can come up when I am looking at a simple piece of paper or (in this more and more modern world) at a digitalised copy of a photograph.

The most adorable pictures for me are baby pictures and you can be sure, that once our little girl is born, there'll be plenty of them. Back when I was a baby the most common thing to do was sticking your photos into a photo album or a picture frame. Today there are so many other great ways of creating memories that last. You can print canvases, mugs or you can even create calendars. Calendars make great gifts - I know for sure that my nan would be seriously disappointed if she didn't get a calendar with photos of her first great grandchild - and they allow you to share your memories with your near and dear ones.

ido-personalise is a company that offers a modern range of invitations, baby announcements and christening cards plus a lovely range of personalised gifts. To celebrate the launch of their new website ido-personalise are inviting new mums like you to join their baby competition. Simply click on their website for more information and then send in your photos to Facebook. Each month the baby with the most 'likes' will become ido-personalise's baby of the month. What's in it for you? Each winner receives a personalised spiral bound desk calendar featuring 12 different photos of their baby.

But it doesn't end here, if you leave me a comment telling me what your favourite baby photo looks like, you can also win a silver plated 1st curl trinket box that comes beautifully presented in a soft pouch and gift box, engraved with your child's name and date.
