The Christmas Boutique, an online festive paradise

October 28, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 8 Comments

  Did I ever mention how much we love Christmas? When I say we, I mean me but I think Boo might be learning my Christmassy ways. I’d say it starts early October, my festive fervour and lasts until I cave in and put the decorations up. Recently, the Christmas Boutique asked bloggers if they … [Read more…]

Pumpkin picking bonanza

October 27, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 6 Comments

I am still uneasy with Halloween. My post last year about not being comfortable about the begging aspect of trick or treat explains why but there are activities out there that don’t involve any trick or treating and we took part in one this weekend. I wrote in the summer about or local pick-your-own farm, Kenyon … [Read more…]

October 22, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 4 Comments

Christmas. The season on good will to all men and deception of your husband. Oh yes. I am already trying to get away with buying (more) Christmas tat. Without wanting to bore you to tears, I to a discount warehouse near where we live for things like toilet roll and kitchen roll. It is really … [Read more…]

When conker picking fails

October 4, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

We have some beautiful old trees at the farm. So when Hubster told us there were some oak and horse chestnut trees in one of the back fields, we decided to go and investigate. It has been an unseasonably dry September so we trotted off in regular shoes rather than wellies and took Rosie the … [Read more…]

October 3, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 7 Comments

Every year, many of us plan to start saving for Christmas in January yet come the end of the month when the last payday seems like an age ago, the thought goes out of the window. Come this time of year, we all wish we’d kept the saving regime up. Now you can sit back … [Read more…]

My pregnancy stalker

October 2, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

Now, you don’t have to tell me that dogs are clever creatures. I am a great advocate for the intelligence of the canine species. However, since I have been pregnant, I have had a shadow with me. Everywhere. Rosie. She was like this when I was pregnant with Boo. When I felt ill in the … [Read more…]

Flashes of outdoor fun at Three Sisters

September 26, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 7 Comments

You wouldn’t think former mining sites would offer much in the way of beauty would you? Well, where I grew up in Ashton-in-Makerfield, near Wigan, there is a place called Three Sisters which is one of eight ‘flashes’ in the Wigan borough. The Wigan flashes were formed after the coal was extracted and it let … [Read more…]

My Letter from Santa Claus

September 18, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

It may only be mid-September but mark my words, Christmas is coming. There are so many magical things around for children and, as Boo will be nearly four, I am hoping this year, my own little Christmas elf will understand a bit more. So recently we tried out a letter from Father Christmas from My Letter from Santa Claus. … [Read more…]
