Apikali Modern Cloth Nappies - GIVEAWAY!

As we all know, there's never a shortage of poop talk around here, and this time, it's worth your while.

I'm a bit of a fluffy lover...

[who am I kidding, I freaking adore fluffy!]

And this is for all my fellow fluffy lovers!

[Pictured above is Tennille & her beautiful daughter Abigail, Apikali's namesake.
Abigail was diagnosed with a rare genetic mutation called CDKL5 encephalopathy, in 2009. This condition causes severe disability, chronic illness, and uncontrollable seizures.]



The beautiful Tennille at Apikali Modern Cloth Nappies is a W.A.H.M,
who, despite the curveballs life has thrown her,

has started her own business, to not only provide for her beautiful family of SIX,
but to make life so much easier for Mama's who want to use Cloth, yet don't want to be forking out too much money on something that may not be the right nappy for their babies.

I, Cloth Lover that I am, stumbled across her website, and almost fell into a dead faint when I saw she has Nappy For Hire.
The "Nappy Novice Packs" are perfect for those Mum's who want to try cloth and have no idea where to start.
Haven't we all been there!?
For a ridiculously low price a week, you actually get to hire a wide range of nappies, including everything from terry squares,to all-singing, all-dancing All-In-Twos!
With every hire of The Nappy Novice Pack, you receive 10% off any of her cloth nappy packs.

It's a win-win. You're saving money & making sure what you do spend is just right for you and your special little angel.
It sounds too good to be true...
...But it's really not!

And to top it all off, Tennille has kindly given, not one, BUT TWO lucky people the chance to win a Baby Bare All-in-Two Cloth Nappy in Crimson.

Gorgeous for a little lady, or daring for a rebel boy!

Ladies, please stop squealing in excitement.
No, seriously, please stop!

Tangled DVD Review & Giveaway

My Name is Tara - and I'm a Disney movie-a-holic.

Having kids has been a blessing for me.

Not just because Mummy-hood is so rewarding,

But because I can go see Disney films at the Cinema,

and not seem like a lonely giant creep,

as I have two children in tow.

For Easter, I sent a long letter to the Easter Bunny,

begging for some children's DVDs for my kids,

Because between you me & the rest of the world,

I hate Larry the Lawnmower.

I think Easter Bunny has some excellent contacts,

BECAUSE,

I was sent a copy of Tangled to review.

The moment I received it I was jumping up & down screaming,

"Yes, Yes, Yes!"

in my driveway.

I live on a main road, and it was during school pick up time,

so I did have a few parents giving me sidelong glances,

and I didn't care.

After dinner and bath time,

Master S grabbed our copy of Tangled,

and ran to the DVD player.

He turned off Larry the Lawnmower,

so I was already in love with the film before we watched it.

As we three snuggled up on the couch,

I was not disappointed, and neither were the kidlets.

Tangled is a new & improved version of Rapunzel.

For anyone not familiar with the story,

Rapunzel is a princess trapped in a tower with super long hair,

and in true Disney fashion,

Tangled is cute, witty, and appropriate for all ages.

Master S was glued to the film from start to finish,

and even when I giggled, I was told to "shhhhh" by him.

Despite the film's main characters being Rapunzel [of course],

and Flynn Rider,

it was the characters Pascal the chameleon & Maximus the horse who were our family favourites.

I expect that Tangled will be watched over, and over, and over again in the Happy House.

...I am positive the kids won't mind my obsession.

And thanks to the lovely folk at Porter Novelli,

[this is the super, duper, awesome, fun bit]

I have one copy of Tangled on DVD to giveaway to a lucky Our Whirlwind Adventures reader.

In order to nab yourself a copy,

you simply have to be a follower of Our Whirlwind Adventures &

leave a comment telling me which is your favourite Disney movie, and why!? 

The winner will be chosen using Random.Org at 8pm on May the 10th, 2011.



TRON Legacy DVD Review & Giveaway.

To be perfectly honest, I had no desire to ever see this film.

But, when sent a copy, asked to write a review & the weather was too lousy too lousy to go out anywhere,

I figured why not!?

After trying my hand at bribery, with snack foods to get Master S to let me turn his Larry the Lawnmower DVD off,

I ended up hiding with my laptop watching this movie alone,

while my bossy children inhabited the loungeroom with Mr. M.

And, I must admit, not only was the two hours "break" nice,

but I found I actually, enjoyed the film.

The storyline was easy to follow,

even for someone as technologically challenged as myself.

The graphics were pretty darn cool, too.

Not to mention Garrett Hedlund who plays the lead character Sam was VERY easy on the eye!

As much as I would have loved to watch this movie with my hubby, I must admit the perve was much more comfortable for me without his presence.

And, thanks to Porter Novelli, I have one copy of TRON Legacy to giveaway!

In order to enter, all you have to do is be a follower of Our Whirlwind Adventures, and leave a comment.

The entries close on April 18th, 2011 and the lucky winner will be chosen using Random.Org.
