Reusable Rose Shopping Bags

I won my reusable shopping bag, as part of a competition on Emmys Mummys blog (a brilliant blog by the way, recommend following).  Its from Little Green Footsteps  and if Im honest I wasnt expecting much.

BUT…

Its strong, I have a habit of breaking shopping bags (even reusable ones) as I put too much in one bag etc, and yet this one seems to be able to handle my shop packing style.

The bag can be stored really easily as it goes into a flower shape when stored which has a clip that can be added to handbags, baby changing bags, pram attachments, you name it! Because it looks a flower decoration, Im happy to have it attached to my buggy or changing bag all the time.  Which makes it very handy for those times you havent prepared to go shopping or have simply forgotten your bags.

Even when it is open and in use the bag has a pretty design, which people have commented on, while we are out and about. So much so when home my mini-faithful insists on having it open and walking round with it on her arm.

It comes in a wide variety of colours, I chose the purple one to match my buggy.  But it also comes in yellow, black, red, pink and dark pink.  I have been debating getting some in other colours to match my handbags/outfits as I think they are so fab.

The introductory price is £1.25, which in my opinion makes this a must buy.  Its a great first step to being that little bit greener, while not having to break the bank.

Its also worth having a look at little green footsteps facebook page, and twitter account, as they have some great deals and sales on at the moment.

Hello and Welcome!

Hello.

I have been blogging on a different site for a while now, but I have some friends on this site and the blogs look so much better, so I have decided to make the move!  I mainly write blogs on a few different subjects so thought I would introduce them here.

The thing that got me into blogging in the first place was a way to track, record and generally blog about my weight loss.  I started following Rosemary Conley in May following an epic 10 year battle with my weight.  I had tried various other forms of dieting before, but never really got anywhere, and for some reason in May I decided enough was enough.  First I tried to get some advice and help from my GP, but they were completely useless.  So I came to the conclusion, that I needed to join a slimming class, and Rosemary Conley's classes seemed to fit into my ideas the best (it includes a fitness class as well as a weigh in and chat on dieting).  I started blogging about 1 and a half months in, and its helped me keep on track so much more!  So I tend to blog on how I am doing weight loss wise, I try to include some kind of goal of the week (not weight based but on exercising or challenging my thinking) Then the following week, I report back on how I have done.  I also have a recipe of the week.  These are all low fat meals that are usually under 400 calories.

Another thing I tend to blog about is things related to my daughter, usually craft ideas or ways to entertain toddlers and children whatever the weather.  I have decided to expand this section now Im changing sites.  So Im planning on including a section on family days out (stuff we get up to on days out, where we go for days out and reviewing local attractions in relation to toddlers and young children).  I also plan on including a section on craft activities as my daughter loves craft! (I also plan on linking in with ideas from other bloggers I know or have read)  Another section on this is going to be hand and footprint art, there is so much that you can make with hand and footprints, I wanted to write down all the ones I have come across and made.  This is also a great activity whatever the age or development of the child.  Which comes to my last part of this section, which is finding fun creative activities to do with children with learning disabilities, I havent come across a lot of sites that cater for their needs, as I work with children with learning disabilities I thought I could come up with some ideas of activities which can work well for them, although can still work well with other children.

The third and final section of my blog is dedicated to reviews.  I like to review products related to things that interest me.  This mainly includes things related to children or weight loss, but I have completed and am happy to complete more reviews on other products.  If you are interested in me reviewing a product for you, then just leave your information at the bottom of this entry.
