Last year I was in awe at the effort that went into many people’s Elf on the Shelf. So this year, I got us one. Well actually, in true Emma style, I got two a ‘real’ elf off eBay and another one from Sainsburys. For the last month I have been trying to come up…
I recently saw a delicious looking soup in a sandwich shop. Christmas soup. I was really excited about it but imagined it would have turkey in it. It didn’t, it had ham so I still couldn’t have it (remember the vegetarian farmer’s wife). So I decided I wasn’t about to miss out and made it…
I am very excited today to be hosting the Britmums Blog Carnival. It is really a virtual party to celebrate the wonderful world of blogging in general and parent bloggers in particular. We’ve all got something in common in this (sometimes) rough road of parenting and so I feel a great affinity to some of the…
#Tinsel Tuesdays is back for week two. We had some great entries this week including a delicious looking festive marmalade cake from Time to be an Adult and homemade, mince meat from Mama Frog. Non-edible offerings came from Mummy M’s Memories who was lucky enough to go and see the new Nativity 3 movie…

My first one had to be special so I waited to visit my favourite branch in…
If you follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, last week you will not have missed that my beloved dog, Rosie got spayed. She is seven and had a litter of puppies when she was two. We never planned to let her have more as she is too precious to me-what if something went wrong?…

When I had Boo, a changing bag was just an after thought. Something you needed when you were out and about and I wanted it to match the pram. This is the only pic I could find of it-just to the right of the photo That is all I required. I am hoping hindsight…
I’ve never hidden the fact that I love, love, love Christmas so, I have decided I want to get involved with everyone else’s Christmas festivities too. Tinsel Tuesdays will run every Tuesday starting this week-November 11th and will run every week until January 6th-the official date the decorations have to come down. So get your…
