CURLY AND CANDID

Today with the Royal Wedding there will be much pomp and celebration. Lot’s of detail, fuss and rushing about.

Today’s guestpost from Ipshita Chatterjee of Minor Edition is in start contrast to this, being beautiful in it’s simplicity. A poem for her daughter.

To my daughter Mini Edition

My darling gorgeous Mini,

What do I write about you?

That

You are my sunshine on a freezing day

You de-stress me with your endless giggle

You are the strength that makes my tiny home a castle

Your energy fills the house with happiness

You have been my

Inspiration that helped me start my business

Last week you surprised me

When I asked you

If you could give away some of your toys for the charity shop

You picked up some of your favourite teddies and said

You will give them away

We did indeed pack away a lot of toys and donated them later

And your face was lit with joy

I didn’t expect that!

I am proud of you

When you were seriously ill during Christmas,

I realised that nothing else is more important than

You

No amount of money or fame will make me happier than

Being with you

I may be

Tired sometimes and get angry at times

Sad (sometimes) that I have given up a few things I used to do before you were born

But

Please know

I love you and will always have the time and patience for you

Lovely! Thank you for sharing this Ipshita. Ipshita also blogs over at LilacTreeCreations so make sure you pop over and have a look!

When you have a little one, your first concern obviously is keeping them safe,well, healthy & happy. One thing I don’t take chances with is cleanliness, particularly Taylor’s bottles etc. I had never had a microwave steriliser before, always favouring the larger electrical ones, but when my electrical unit went to the big scrapheap in the sky I jumped at the chance to test one out!

I’ve not been disappointed!

This steriliser holds four bottles and all accessories, is easy to load, use and store. Simply wash your bottles as you usually would, pour 200ml of tap water into the bottom of the steriliser (use a bottle to measure), load up and in 4-8 minutes, depending on the wattage of the microwave, you are done! According to instructions the bottles stay sterile for 24 hours if the lid in unopened, and you should leave the steriliser for *three minutes to cool before opening to avoid steam scalds.

The big advantage this product has for me is the ease of storage. Compact & lightweight, it needn’t take up any room on your kitchen worktop. I store mine in the microwave, or on top when it is in use. Additional benefits include being easy to clean, no electric cables etc so you can quite literally pop it into the sink, and no need to descale, ever! Being smaller, it is perfect to take for trips away.

The steriliser came with a **small Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottle, a soother and tongs for easy removal of teats, and everything is BPA free.

I am perfectly happy with this steriliser, it is the best and certainly the most easy to use and clean that I have ever had and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

You can purchase the steriliser from retailers such as Tescos, Boots, Mothercare (etc) and direct from the Tommee Tippee website (where at the time of posting it is on offer for just £12!)

*I leave mine for 5 mins as I find it still quite hot to handle after 3mins

**This is perfect for cool water drinks when your baby takes more at each feed than these 5oz bottles hold.

Tommee Tippee were kind enough to send me a microwave steriliser to test and review. This is where their input ended. The review findings are my own and in no way influenced by TT.
