Woolworths Select Contour Fit Nappies

by on February 3rd, 2010

Now, we all know that using cloth nappies is the most affordable, but I prefer disposable, It’s more convienient and one less thing I have to worry about.

A few months ago I ran out of nappies, and came across the Woolworths Select Contour Fit Nappies in my Woolies petrol station.

I only expected to use them for a day or two until I went to the shops to buy Huggies, but i was so impressed by the quality that I never went back!

Pros: Unlike the Huggies brand, the Woolworths Select Contour Fit Nappies have a strong tab, and don’t tear off when I pull them, they fit around her entire bottom and don’t dig into her legs like other brands.

Cons: If baby is wearing them for too long they may leak through layers, but this is only if you don’t change a wet nappy after a few hours, as many forgetful mums and dads have learnt. You may want to consider using another brand overnight.

Cost: The average price for a jumbo box of Toddler 72’s is around $32, but you can buy three packs of 24’s them on special at the moment for $7.99 each. That’s 30 cents a nappy!

Verdict: After 3 months and only 2 leaks, these nappies are definitely the best in regards to value and are just as good if not better than many leading brands.

Found any baby bargains lately?

" Jump, Just do it!"

" Jump, Just do it!" - my sister and I in Noosa

I have been away from the keyboard over the last month.  I have been so busy and failed to write my blog.

I deserve a big smack!

Ok, so I haven’t been completely honest. I went into depression again, which equals creative block and no blog.

But, I am feeling better now, and glad to be back.

Happy New Year - From my family to yours! x

Happy New Year - From my family to yours! x

Happy New Year! I hope that 2010 brings you much love  and warm moments.

Over the past couple of days I have been thinking about what 2010 will bring to me? The problem is, I have it all wrong.

I should be thinking what I can bring to 2010! ? I have concluded, if I give more to the world; I will feel better about myself and eventually good things will come my way!

  • I am going to reinvent  Eve Pretty, and focus on something I am good at, enjoy and will help others. I am going to write more about living a frugal lifestyle by incorporating tricks and tips on thrifting, DIY, Ebay, cheap eats and cutting costs on household living. So watch this space!
  • I am going to take up scrap booking, at the request of my seven year old. This way we can spend time together and work towards creating something special.
  • I am going to experiment more with food! That way I can cook yummy meals for my husband and kids without dining out and spending a fortune!
  • I am going to send my grandmother postcards and letters every now and then. Such a simple gesture would mean so much to her and keep my handwriting skills up.

These are a few things I would like to do, and hope to achieve this year.

What do you think you can bring to 2010?

Five things that inspire me

by on December 31st, 2009

Hear mum roar is  running a fun meme each week.

This weeks topic is, Five things that inspire me

1.  Beautiful houses: Whenever I am a passenger in a car i find myself mesmerized by all the beautiful houses I see. They really motivate me, and inspire me to improve my life so one day i will be in the financial position to have one of my own.

2.  Street Art : Street art inspires me to be more creative, to look a little bit harder at the world around us and slow down a bit to notice the small things they normally go unnoticed.

3. Nurses, Youth Workers, Teachers and Mothers : All of these people hold a special place in my heart. I have so much respect for these professions and their selflessness. It is a shame how undervalued they are.

4. Random acts of kindness between strangers : I love hearing a good news story about how someone has been helped by a stranger, like the time a man helped us by delivering a sack trolley to our home when we couldn’t fit it in our boot.

5. Colour: I love colour. Red flowers against a blue wall,  a colourful salad,  bright pink hair and orange butterflies. They all make me smile.

Now I would like to know, what inspires you?
