So, it’s a new start and 2018 promises to be a good one if I am willing to work for it. I’ve already spoken about my 2018 blogging goals, but the truth is that blogging is only part of what I do. I am also a freelance writer and freelance photographer. This means that I copywrite content for companies and brands as well as ghost write on their blogs whilst also providing photography services.
One thing I’ve never had for that part of my business is a brand. I have the tippytupps name and my own name, but no logo as the “mummy – wife – wannabe runner” thing isn’t quite what I’m looking for when I want to promote my freelance career. So, when the team from Logojoy got in contact to try out their logo creation service, I was eager to give it a go.
Can you see what I did there? *see’s tumbleweed and moves on*
In all seriousness though, if you follow the blog then you will know that I have a pair of toddlers that are very fussy eaters. This unfortunately extends to drinks, and the Bear in particular is very fussy over what she will drink and what she deems as ‘yucky’. So when the team from the Appy Kids Co got in contact and asked us to try their products I was keen to give it a go as I’m always looking for good ‘on the go’ options.
For this weeks Tried & Tested Tuesday we’re going all audio with a little bit of sound tech. More specifically the SoundPEATS Q16 Truely Wireless Stereo Bluetooth 4.2 Headphones with Mic and Sports Earbuds….phew! Let’s just call them the Q16 headphones for short!
If anyone has a toddler like me then I assume that their sweet tooth has arrived. We did everything by the book – in fact the first time she tasted artificial sugar was a tiny piece of cake on her first birthday – however it didn’t make a blind bit of difference. She is now a complete sugar monster who has a tendancy to demand chips, crisps, ice cream and lollypops in equal measure. Therefore one thing I do stress about is making sure she has a balanced diet.
Some days she does amazing – weetabix, yogurts, spaghetti bolognaise, grapes, chilli. Other days less so – buttery toast, chips, heinz pasta, crisps, chocolate. When they’re just shy of 3 though, you pick your battles. It’s on days like these though that I worry that nutritionally she isn’t getting what she needs. We used to use liquid vitamins in her bedtime milk but those days are long gone now and in all honestly it tastes like crap so she just won’t drink anything I put it in.
