015. Growing Up - Isabelle is 21 Months

Is it really only 3 months until my tiny little baby is 2 years old? Has time really gone that fast? It really is true that you blink and miss half of their childhood as it flashes before your eyes.

In the last month Isabelle has really started to amaze me with the things she can do and the things she can say. How much her personality has developed and changed is amazing to watch and everyday she does something new.

Likes 

Animals, Mr Tumble, Playing outside, Books, Dancing, Drawing. 

Dislikes

Bedtime, sitting anywhere for longer then 5 minutes (unless it involves one of the above), being told no, sitting in her pushchair. 

Says

She will repeat almost anything you say to her but her new spontaneous words are Orange, Crossiant, books, garden, shops, dinner, a few of her friends names, horse, sister, baby. 

Can

Count unadded from 1-4, Count with help 1-6, drink confidently from an open top cup, jump, climb down the stairs on 2 feet holding your hand,  settle herself to sleep without her dummy.

012. Website Review - Zulily UK

Website Review - Zulily Uk

Website:  Zulily.co.uk

What They Say: zulily is fabulous! It's a new online store offering daily sales events on top-quality apparel, gear and other goodies for mums, babies and kids. We carry the best brands at the lowest prices. Members enjoy savings of up to 90% off retail prices. zulily loves to find deals on favourite styles, and we love introducing our members to exciting new brands, too.

What I Say: I absolutely love Zulily, they have a huge variety of products they have available and for such great prices. 
They offer a loyalty scheme which means if you recommend their site to another member then they will credit your account with £10 once their first order has been dispatched.  This means if you have a few friends who are interested in using the site you could get a few extra birthday or Christmas presents without spending a penny, or you could treat yourself too. 

They mainly specialise in children's clothes, toys and maternity wear but you will also find great deals on home wares, jewellery and woman's clothing. 

The downsides of Zulily is because it is event based shopping once the items are gone, they are gone. So you need to get in quickly if there is something in particular you are after, but Zulily help to make sure you don't miss out by sending you daily emails about the events and they also have an Iphone app and an Android app which send you push notifications every morning to notify you of the events.

I have had two personal issues with Zulily since becoming a customer of theirs. One being when they had over sold on a product that i had ordered, but they were very apologetic and credited my account with £10 for the trouble and the other time when an item i received was damaged which they again were very apologetic about and refunded me the cost of the item and gave me £10 credit.

I regularly buy from Zulily and have bought a lot of Isabelle's clothes and baby items from them which i has helped me to save money. As any parent knows it is always a bonus when you are able to save a few extra pennies on the necessities so you are able to put them away towards some of the luxuries. 

Would I Buy Again?: Yes, i have and will continue to use Zulily regularly. For the prices you pay and the quality of items you get you would be mad to miss out on some of the great events Zulily have to offer.
