Did you all have a wonderful Christmas? We had a lovely family time and relished my husband being at home with us. Ava adores it when we are all together, add in her Aunty and her Nanna and she is one happy little girl. I just wanted to share some pictures from our Christmas day and a little video …
Well we did it! We completed Vlogmas! I totally couldn’t have done it without pre-recording some of them in November, but nevertheless it is 24th December and I have had a video go out every day since the 1st, that’s winning in my book! To end this festive run of videos I am sharing a day in our lives, …
Today as part of my Vlogmas videos, I thought I would share a quick and easy Christmas treat idea for teachers. Super easy and really inexpensive too. There is also a fridge cake thrown in there too! [vc_video title=”Christmas Treats for teachers” link=”https://youtu.be/ph3IxhfmeMw “]
I live really close to my good friend Laura. Maybe stupidly, we both agreed to do Vlogmas and so we started to think about a video we could do together. We have already shared our Blogger’s Wish Lists and today we are sharing our Mince Pie Taste Test! No-one like a disappointing mince pie, so we thought we would test …
When I decided I would do take part in #Vlogmas I joined a Facebook group set up by my lovely friend Katy. As part of that group we all put our names down to do The Christmas Tag and each pass the baton to another blogger. So first up here’s my Christmas Tag, I hope you enjoy! [vc_video …
It’s now only a few weeks until Christmas and the festiveness has started creeping into our daily lives. The decorations going up and the shops filling up with presents to tempt us all. The kids have probably long since written their lists to Santa and are working on making sure they end up on the nice list… I have lost …
Ever since I learned of its existence a couple of years ago, I have been yearning to take Ava to Lapland UK. Having seen many pictures from others who have been, it looked like such a wonderful place and a perfect magical Christmas experience. Before our visit, Ava received a gorgeous personalised letter from Father Christmas, complete with posh wax …
I’m not blessed in the crafting department, so I’m always trying to find quick and easy craft ideas for kids that quench Ava’s need to create, without sending me too mad! I thought I would share 6 quick and easy Christmas cards that you can make with or without kids. [vc_video title=”6 Christmas cards that are easy to make …
Chessington Christmas Tail We had our first experience of Chessington when we went to their Halloween Adventure. We loved it so much and were thrilled to be invited back to the Christmas tail. For those of you who haven’t been before Chessington is a wonderful mix of animals, marine life and theme park rides. Our Halloween adventure was such fun …
Do you have a foodie in your life? Need some gift ideas? I’ve been having a look round as Hubby is pretty keen in the kitchen, so anything I can do to encourage him even more and I am on it! We both love getting new bits and bobs for the kitchen. Have a peek at what I’ve selected. Steel Bread …
This Christmas was Baby’s third and it was the first year that she showed a real excitement during the build up; which made it even more exciting for us. When the reindeer food had been scattered on the front garden and the goodies left out for Santa, there was nothing else left to do but hit the hay and try to …
We would just like to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thanks so much for your support during 2015 and let’s hope 2016 is a wonderful year for all of us.
This festive period has been like no other. I adore Christmas, but never before has it been quite so eagerly awaited. This will be Baby’s third Christmas, but it feels like the first that she has really known what is going on. Gone are the days when I could buy her presents when she was with me, she now has …
Homemade gifts are lovely. Receiving a gift that someone took time to create just for you is really special. It’s even better when that gift is something edible! The shops are super busy now too, so making a few of these beauties will save you having to fight through the crowds for those last minute gifts. Here are 15 gorgeous gifts that …

I really believe that small acts of kindness can make the world a better place. No, they won’t stop wars or atrocities, but they might put a smile on the face of someone who is having a bad day, help someone out of a tight spot or just sprinkle a little happiness on someone else’s day; that’s not a bad thing is it? I …
This Christmas is going to be so exciting. As we head towards Baby’s third Christmas, her excitement levels are building too. She is so much more aware of the idea behind Christmas this year, which makes it MUCH more fun. As soon as December arrives I like to have the month of festive activities planned for Baby. As part of this …
I remember the excitement of Christmas as a child, but I also remember how I used to get almost as excited about my stocking than my main presents. I think it was because we were allowed to open our stockings as soon as we woke up and didn’t have to wait for everyone to eat breakfast first. When you are …
Why are men so hard to buy for?! Maybe it is just Mr Hubby, but I struggle every year to get him presents that I think he will love and with his birthday being on Christmas day, it’s double the challenge. I do enjoy a spot of online shopping, so I thought I would check out some ideas for the …
Mr Hubby accepted the Davidstow Ultimate Cheeseboard Challenge, see how he got on! In my opinion, a good strong cheese makes your cheeks tingle and I can tell I’m at my limit when I start to get the attractively named “cheese sweats”. Some people suggest this is a mild allergic reaction, but it’s not unpleasant (just a rosy glow on …
Ooh I do love Christmas! For me, it is definitely my favourite time of year. I remember the full on excitement of being a child at Christmas, and now I get to experience it all again through Baby’s eyes. Especially now she’s a little older and so much more aware of what’s going on. I completely adore trying to find just …
Christmas is now so close that I can almost smell the Turkey. I adore Christmas and I’m so excited to experience it this year with Baby. She is a almost three and is loving the preparations so far; I can only imagine what she will be like on the big day. B&Q kindly offered to collaborate with us to give our …
We are big fans of days out at National Trust properties and one of our favourites is Mottisfont, in Romsey. We were invited last weekend to their exciting Christmas Carol Family Trail. Having experienced the Charlie and Lola trail back in the summer, we were keen to see what they had in store for us. Baby couldn’t wait to get …
When I was a child we had a real tree at Christmas. Then I left home and my mum bought me an artificial tree. That tree is now in our attic; yes, 20 years later it is still going strong, but it isn’t a ‘proper’ tree. I longed for a real tree to make Christmas feel perfect, especially now Baby is …
