Once upon a time, mummy and Boo got the train to Liverpool to visit Santa’s Magical Grotto at St George’s Hall. They don’t travel very much on trains so the journey there was very exciting despite the pouring rain and there was a lot of “choo-choo-ing” on the way. Neither of them had been … [Read more…]
So being seven months pregnant, excitement is few and far between at the moment. There is one Christmassy thing I have been looking forward to and that is making my way through the Costa Coffee Christmas menu-decaf of course. My first one had to be special so I waited to visit my favourite branch in … [Read more…]
Welcome to the new #TinselTuesdays linki here, at Farmer’s Wife and Mummy. We love Christmas here on the farm and I really want to hear about all the festive activities you have been getting up to. It may only be November 11th but the shopping and anticipation is in full swing. So much so that … [Read more…]
Bents is a garden centre about three miles up the road from the farm and seriously, it is one of my favourite places. I have been dying to go and see this year’s Christmas displays since they opened a couple of weeks ago but, knowing my birthday was coming up, I waited so it would … [Read more…]
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…]

We’ve loved Fairy Doors at the farm since we got here. It was too dark to take a photo when I got in from work last night but we have one on the big tree near the house. There is also one to go with the woodland theme in Boo’s bedroom. So when I heard … [Read more…]
So tonight I attended a Mothercare expectant parent evening. I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t know anything like this even existed when I was pregnant with Boo. It promised: car safety and car seat fitting advice nursery furniture, cot mattresses and the latest sleep safety advice pushchair and pram choices breast pumps … [Read more…]
I love Boo having a traditional name. The only down side is, many of the personalised things available in shops don’t have her name on them. So when I see a pencil or a Christmas tree bauble with her name on, I usually snap it up. When I heard about Pop Goes Your Name CDs … [Read more…]
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…]
