Christmas 2014 is over. We have had a lovely time. Eaten too much which, for me was hard because of a certain baby taking over valuable stomach room. Boo has received lots of lovely presents which she has really enjoyed playing with. I’ve not managed to tidy up the toys away totally yet. For one…
It’s going to be a busy few days for everyone and I am keen to spend some time with my family. Thank you you so much for all of your support this year. I will be taking a blogging break now for a few days. Hope you all have a fabulous time.
Can you believe we are on week seven of #TinselTuesdays? I obviously started very early. Guess what though, if you hadn’t noticed, we have only two sleeps until the big man arrives. Yipeeeeee. Are your kids excited? Are you excited? I am. I am using the ‘you have to be good or Ill tell Father…
A year has done nothing to slow the Frozen frenzy that has gripped the world. Only this week I read about parents queuing over night to get the latest Frozen toy for their children for Christmas. Boo likes Frozen but it is still me who has Let it Go on repeat so I think we…
What’s the worst bit of Christmas for you? The rubbish TV? The chocolate overload? For me it’s the washing up. We plan and cook all this delicious food but don’t ever think of the washing up at the end of it. Things are much better at the farm. We have a dishwasher. Shock horror, when…
So here we are. The next four-weekly update in the saga pregnancy. After my 28 week scan four weeks ago, I stupidly uttered these famous last words to Hubster: “I’m sure they saw me more often at this point when I was pregnant with Boo”. BIG mistake. The very next day, a midwife rang…
Before you get married, I think it’s really important to discuss whether you want children with your future spouse. For the simple reason that it must be awful if one partner wants kids but the other doesn’t. To be honest, I can’t ever remember ‘the chat’ and, as it was, we had our chief bridesmaid…
You’d think having a child myself would make it easier to choose presents for other people’s children but I am afraid it doesn’t. I feel as if I never get it right. Is it the right thing age-wise, will they play with it, will their parents hate me (think musical instruments, that kind of thing)….
A few weeks ago, Mackays sent me some festive jam and marmalade. I made something with the jam a week or so ago so next up was the marmalade. We had a little Christmas party at my mum’s at weekend so I offered to bake a cake. I decided on a chocolate orange cake as…
There’s something about Christmas and parties that really makes me think of one thing. Trifle. My mum makes the best trifle ever and my nan made great trifle too. A couple of months ago, I bought a pair of boots from Next. They didn’t fit so. In what can only be described as the…
