A few weeks ago, Husband called me into the office to show me something on his computer, and I walked in to see a load of our photos playing as though they were in their very own art gallery. I must confess, I did get a lump in my throat as it went through our wedding photos, Sausage’s baby photos and a load of others which meant a lot to us.

What I was looking at was the Intel Museum of Me, a visual archive of Husbands social life, where a simple click of a button arranges your photos, friends and updates and turns them into a kind of ‘This is Your Life’ through social media. It’s three minutes of sentimentality, and that’s got me written all over it! To get your own Museum of me, just go to the Intel site and connect with your Facebook page. Give it a go, it’s well worth it.

I’ve mentioned before on my blog about how Husband often surprises me with flowers, and that sometimes there’s nothing nicer than opening the door to a stranger with a bouquet, knowing that Husband has been thinking about me and secretly planning something so lovely, just to make me smile. Most women hate it when their Husbands sneak around. I love it when mine does!

Since becoming a Mum, I can honestly say that every year, without fail, I forget that I’ll be getting something on Mothers’ Day. I know, it sounds weird, I am a mother, but I suppose I’ve spend so many more years being the daughter than being the mother and old habits are hard to break. So when I do get something from Sausage, it’s always a lovely surprise as I’m never expecting it.

This year, Flowers Direct have a stunning range of Mothers’ Day bouquets, including ‘Celebrate Mum’ (From £29.99), which is full of pink Chrysanthemums, Carnations, Germini, Oriental Lilies and Alstomeria, and comes with a free box of chocolates. I don’t know many Mums who wouldn’t love one of these!

For those of you with a slightly smaller budget, there’s the pretty ‘Azalea Basket’ (From £12.74), a beautiful plant in soft pinks, just perfect for showing your Mum that you think she’s the best.

If you really want to push the boat out, there’s the gorgeous ‘Rose and Lily Bouquet’ (From £34.99) which contains ‘A beautifully abundant selection of traditional pink Roses and Lilies complemented by delicate foliage’. This bunch of beauties would be enough to make any Mum feel like a queen.

All of these bouquets, along with many others, are still available for delivery in time for Mothers’ Day, for just £5.99 delivery, which is cheaper than Interflora! If you want to make your Mum’s day, you know what to do.

When I was pregnant, I was all too aware of the things that could go wrong, and obsessed over every minute detail, avoiding caffeine, pâté, sushi etc. I even heard that potatoes that had gone green could contribute to spina bifida, and seeing as how we already had that in our family, I inspected every spud before I ate it too. One particular concern for me is that I have a couple of conditions, asthma and a latex allergy, which we were told could contribute to Sausage also developing eczema and allergies, the most concerning of which was a peanut allergy.

As I’m sure most of you will have gathered by now, Husband and I are particularly paranoid parents, which means that we tend to be over-cautious about almost everything. When it came to testing Sausage out on peanut butter, we took a particularly scientific approach to it, rubbing a little on her skin and leaving it for 24 hours to see if there was any redness, then we rubbed a little on the inside of her lip to see if any swelling occurred. Only when we were satisfied that there was no reaction did we let her try to actually eat the peanut butter (only for her to declare she didn’t like it….!).

All I know is, being a parent is scary enough, but having a child with an allergy must be absolutely nerve-wracking. Having to think about everything that touches their lips, in terms of nutrition, boggles my tiny mind…I can’t even fathom how hard it must be when a mouthful of a particular food or drink could be fatal. That’s why, when the good folk at Easy2Name asked me to talk about one of their products, i didn’t hesitate.

Their Allergy Labels are perfect if you have a nursery or school age child, as it means that you can label every drinks cup, lunch box or milk bottle with a personalised sticker, alerting their carer as to what they need to avoid. The stickers come in a range of styles, including ‘No Dairy’, ‘No Nuts’ and ‘No Gluten’, and also allow for two lines of text, for personalization, or custom messages. I know that most nurseries, schools and childminders are great with this kind of thing, and will always have a medical history for each child, but a little extra reminder may be the difference between a stressed out parent and a bit of peace of mind. Heck, it might be the difference between a well child, and a very poorly kid indeed.

At £17.95 for 40 custom labels, which are dishwasher, microwave and steriliser proof, these handy little labels seem like a really cheap, really effective solution to something that could otherwise be a really big problem. And for a short time, if you type in FACEBOOK10 at the checkout, you’ll receive a 10% discount.
