First Birthday Party with TheBigParty.ie

Hey Guys,so recently my little boy turned the big 1 year old.

Such a milestone needs to be marked with a party. This of course was cancelled and postponed twice and he got the chicken pox the day after his birthday and his sister got them the day of her birthday so we were in quaranteen for over a month!!!!
So we ended up eventually having the party at home on a day thay suited most of family and sonme of the friends (some had communions)

Anyway ,back to the decorations....I had come across an irish online party suppliers that had some fantastic stock. Now for a busy blogging mum of 2 under 3 online shopping is the way to go.

The website is http://www.thebigparty.ie/ and they also have a facebook page TheBigPartyie

They have litterally everything you could ever need or want for a party. No matter if  its a first birthday to a 100 birthday ,to christenings and communions and weddings and everything in between.. They even sell costumes if you are having a costume party. They cater for any type of party theme you can think of.

 These are the high chair decorating kit (so freaking cute ) the party swirls and the  1st birthday decor kit

 Heres the little devil stealing his party plates!! We also got the matching napkins,cups,tablecloth party bags and party favours.

 As it was a little boys party we got the water pistols ,flying airplanes and dinkys..the kids loved them and had great fun playing with them

  Some pics of the decor

 Everyone loved this High chair decorating kit..it even comes with a matching floor mat to catch the enevitable mess!!
Everything looked amazing and the quality was fantastic.
I have more parties this year and I will definatly be ordering from http://www.thebigparty.ie/ again.

Tight ass Tuesday...Porridge for skin issues?!?!

POX...WE HAD THE POX!!!!!
So as some of you know my 2 babies have had the chicken pox for the last month between them. Stressful time in our house as it coincided with both their birthdays. So parties were cancelled..twice..catering was cancelled...twice and my nerves were shattered...more than twice!!!!
First born little girl erupted the day before her birthday with a more than generous covering of the pesky pox. She was itchy and tired and withdrawn but mostly itchy.  Mr man erupted the day after his first birthday with a crazy amount of spots ..his poor little body was covered.
So I hopped in the car and headed to the chemist and supermarket. The chemist for an antihistamine and the supermarket for PORRIDGE OATS and pop socks!!!!
One of the best treatments for chicken pox is actually porridge oats..not ready brek..the actual oats. put them into a pop sock or tight leg and tie around the bath tap so the water flows through as you are filling the bath. Use nothing else!!
When added to bathwater, it creates a milky dispersion  so  when you get into the tub, the water feels silky, as it coats, moisturises, softens, and protects your skin.
Oats also works great to help relieve dry, skin patches , psoriasis, acne, sunburns, and  other itching and scratching rashes.
 Since colloidal oatmeal has an anti-itch property that helps reduce the “need to itch,” soaking in the bath brings soothing comfort to those infected.
When your skin is itchy and irritated, its pH level may be higher. Colloidal Oatmeal helps bring the pH back to normal levels, taming "the need to itch.
You may have the urge to take a hot bath, but this will only irritate the skin and remove moisture from your body, so a warm bath is preferable. Soak in the bath for ten to fifteen minutes.
When drying, don't rub your skin since this. can irritate the sore areas. Instead, pat yourself dry with a clean towel.
Thankfully little miss has made a full recovery and mr man is well on the way,we are way past the contagious stage so its great to get out of the house as cabin fever was setting in big time.
Now to organise parties...again!!!!
