It’s a Girl!

Author Nicki CawoodPosted on

Nooooo – I am not pregnant! My fabulous sister and brother in law have however just had a beautiful baby girl. I can’t post pics or details as it isn’t my news but needless to say.. she is perfect! (Beautiful enough to make me a little broody but don’t worry, a few cuddles from my new niece will satisfy me).

What this means of course is that I can enjoy baby shopping once more! Christmas is coming up and of course it is my prerogative as an Aunt to enjoy both practical and fanciful shopping fun. Baby Lurve has been brought to my attention and is another site which I love to browse as it offers everything from practical items such as everything you need for bathing and travelling, lovely gifts, toys and gifts for Mum.

The gifts for Mum stuff I really do like. I remember when I’d had Kieran him being gifted with a great pile of fabulous gifts. I was really surprised to receive a “new Mum” gift or two for me and the  same and again when Taylor was born. After feeling grotty towards the end of both pregnancies (and wanting someone to “sew me up so I don’t have to do that again” after Kieran) these little treats were just lovely. Now I make sure that when someone close to us has a baby that I don’t forget something for the new Mum, even if it just some flowers or something calming for the bath.

One of my favourite ranges on the site however is the Skip Hop range. These I have had experience of myself and my two love them. This monkey lunch bag went down a treat with Kieran for pre-school and was pinched by Taylor when old enough too.

For bright and innovative design Skip Hop is right up there. Their owl design is one of my favourites and I’m very tempted to buy something for myself as sadly my too prefer more zoo-like animals than owls. If you are looking for gifts, treats and more practical items do have a look, you may well be surprised by how reasonable they are price-wise!

My question for you today is: What was the one gift you received, either for yourselves as new parents or for your little one which you remember the most? I was given the Hungry Caterpillar book as a gift for my eldest when he born and it is a household favourite still.

Finding a genuine psychic

Author Nicki CawoodPosted on 1 Comment

Some time ago I wrote a post about looking for an alternative to the movie and pizza girl’s night in and how having a psychic medium visit and do a reading could be a bit of a giggle yet also very interesting.

I’m still not 100% sure what I believe in terms of what trained and gifted psychics can achieve however I pride myself on an open mind. My one concern about doing something like this was finding a genuine psychic and not someone who perhaps would take advantage of my interest who was not as up front and honest as I’d like them to be, especially as they would be invited into my home.

I was sent some information on finding a genuine psychic which I found quite interesting:

There are plenty of reasons why you might be interested in having a psychic reading done, from seeking advice on a new relationship to finding out how to become happier and more fulfilled, getting in contact with a loved one who has passed away or simply just having a fleeting interest in what you might find out about yourself.

Whatever your reasons for looking into psychic readings, one thing that everyone is looking for is a reading from a genuine, trusted and professional psychic who won’t take your money and rip you off, or spin you a load of old nonsense. The last thing you want is to be paying money into an anonymous website only to find the entire set-up is a fraud. And of course, you want the advice to come from a genuine source, rather than someone who is no more psychic than the man on the street.

It can be hard to detect the reputable professionals from the chancers and fraudsters when it comes to psychics however, particularly online where there is a wealth of psychic sites to choose from and thousands of people offering their spiritual services. With so much choice, it can be nigh on impossible knowing where to start.

That’s why the best way to ensure that you get a good service is to take personal recommendations for genuine psychic readings. If you have a friend or a family member who has used a psychic before and has had a good experience, you know you can trust the psychic with your card details. Talk to your friends and family to see if they can recommend anyone to you.

Failing this, using a reputable website such as psychicliving.co.uk is a good idea, as it has a bank of professional physics for you to choose from, all offering genuine advice and guidance on a range of topics.

Will I have a psychic night in? I probably will at some point and when I do I will let you know how I get on!
