How cute does Little E look in this dress!
 |
| Little E in her Next Outfit |
A couple of weeks ago I was hunting around for a dress for Little E to wear to her Grandpa's 60th birthday party. There were lots of dresses out there but non that really caught my eye. Eventually I stopped by the Next website where I found this little beauty - the Pink Party Dress. Isn't it just adorable! Perfect for Christmas too and at only £22 for the shrug and the dress it's a complete bargain. They even have little pram shoes to match.

Winter Coats for the Whole Family
Winter Coats for all the family!!
(see how I made it fit in with the song - clever eh?!)
So the snow has hit again and as usual I'm unprepared. Winter comes at the same time each year but for some reason it always takes me my surprise! I'm desperate for a new coat but I'm spoiled for choice at Next. There's some great pieces to be had for all the family. And don't worry if your tall or petite - Next has got it covered. Take a look, see for yourself...
For Mummy...
This Grey Piped Military Coat is stunning and right on trend for the season. It'll look great with jeans but it's smart enough to wear throughout the party season too...

Voting Competitions - Love Them or Loathe Them?
As you may know I am currently trying to get people to 'like' my Hotmail Time Saving Invention in a bid to get my Zippy Baby Snowsuit made in to a real life product (and win £2,000 if I get the most likes). I'm not holding out much hope - I only have 28 likes! lol I have to admit though, I do feel like I'm being a bit of a hypocrite by asking you all to 'like' because I HATE voting competitions.
The way I see it, all 'liking' competitions end up being a popularity contest and usually result in the person with the most friends winning rather than the best entry and as you can see I don't have many friends!
As we all know the Next Baby Competition is a voting competition and amongst other reasons this has caused quite a backlash. People with a high number of votes are reported to have received hate mail! Extreme comping!
I've also noticed another competition on the Tesco Diets Facebook page is also causing quite a stir - as the recipe with the most votes is actually a high calorie dessert!
An increasing number of competitions now involve getting your friends to 'like' your entry but in turn this means that they have to 'like' the brands Facebook page too. So is this a fair way to judge a competition entry or are brands and businesses just getting lazy and greedy for fans?
What do you think?
PS Vote for me! lol

The Next Baby Boutique Model Competition 2010
Have you entered your little one in the Next Baby Boutique Modelling Competition yet?
I've noticed a few friends popping up on Facebook with links to their gorgeous babas. Unfortunately Mister A is to old to enter this one (the age range is 0 - 36 months) but Little E is the perfect age.
Last week at the Baby Show we entered Little E in the 'Face of the Baby Show 2011' competition - we got to keep the pic - so why not! Little E was all smiles as soon as the camera was on her. There were so many beautiful shots that we even had trouble deciding which one to use for her entry.
This competition is different though because it's a 'most votes' competition. In my eyes this kind of competition isn't about the child or how gorgeous they are it's about how popular the parents are. I personally hate 'most votes' comps purely because I don't have enough friends to ever fend off the competition!
I know that this years model comp has sparked a lot of debate about child modelling and the ethics of it all but clearly Next are inundated with entries as they seem to have a backlog of entries on a daily basis!
I think due to time constraints I'll count Little E out of this one but I would love for either of my children to win something like this and if they made a little nest egg for themselves at the same time then why not? As long as they are having fun I would be completely happy for them to do a bit of modelling now and again.
Do you agree though? What are your thoughts on this 'hot topic'?
You can enter your child in the Next Baby Boutique Model Competition on Facebook until 12 noon on 16th December. Terms & Conditions apply.
