Currently a Stay at Home Mum residing in our nation’s capital (that’s the ACT in Australia for all you international folk), I try to balance mothering, uni study, cooking, twittering & blogging. I am married to a wonderful man of Italian descent, I have two boisterious but lovely children and dog that we believe has no brain.

Hi!
I have been reading your blog for a little while now, and love seeing Dante and Claudia grow.
Anyways, I saw you today in the Canberra Centre and so wanted to say hi- but got a massive attack of shyness and didn’t want you to think I was a stalker!
Your children are beautiful- its great to see another blogging Canberra Mummy!

Good to see you back, blogging again. Keep at it, Ally!…….
Hi Ally,
Please let me e-troduce myself, my name is Vanessa and I work for a PR company called Momentum.
We’ve been reading your Acting Like a Mama and know that you have two little ones Dante and Claudia. We thought our latest program may be of interest to you.
We’re currently working on behalf of Dettol to launch their new product, the Dettol No-Touch Hand Wash System, an automatic soap dispenser for home use – the first of its kind available in mainstream grocery in Australia. Not only does the Dettol No-Touch Hand Wash help stop the spread of germs by eliminating the need to touch a germy soap pump, but it has also been found to encourage hand washing amongst children. Even some kids who always made washing up at dinner times a real challenge for their parents now love washing their hands with the ‘magical’ liquid soap dispenser.
Given you have two little ones yourself, we wanted to give you the opportunity to try out the Dettol No-Touch Hand Wash System and see if it helps encourage good hand hygiene in your home. And just to be sure that it is really getting put to the test, we wanted to send you a finger painting kit for your kids so they can get creative and get their mitts good and messy first. Hopefully, with the ‘magic hand wash’, Dante and Claudia will have as much fun getting clean as they did getting dirty.
If a spot of finger painting and fun hand washing with your kids sounds good to you, please let us know your postage details and we will send you out a kit. Please know that receiving this product and painting kit by no means requires you to write anything about the new hand wash system. If you do, however, have a great experience and are motivated to write something to share with your readers please reference that you did receive the Dettol No-Touch Hand Wash System as a gift from Dettol to ensure we are being as transparent as possible. We would also love to offer you the opportunity to hold a product giveaway with your readers if this interests you.
If you would like any other info or have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me on 02 8333 0008
Cheers,
Vanessa
Hi Ally,
