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…]
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…]
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…]

If, like me, you plan to make loads of stuff each year but, come December, you’ve made nothing then this year, why not try and be organised? I am trying my best. I will hopefully be heavily pregnant come December … [Read more…]
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…]
It’s only 15 weeks until Christmas, Sorry to scare you. For most of us, that’s only four, maybe five pay days. How do you fancy winning £750 worth of vouchers for the likes of Boots, Toys R Us, Amazon and Early Learning Centre? Your Christmas shopping would be sorted. Well, thanks to Betta Living, you … [Read more…]
I love baking. I prefer the decorating to the actual baking but it is very hard to get to the decorating stage if you don’t crack the eggs in the bowl if you know what I mean. At the beginning of November I made my Christmas cake. I am not loyal to one recipe. I … [Read more…]
