This is my second year doing Christmas Eve Boxes (or in our case, bags). I really loved doing it last year and looking forward to it even more this year. Now, with both kids still being young, I've kept in the same as last year, with one slight difference (they're both getting chocolate this year). … Continue reading Christmas Eve Boxes/Bags

Christmas Movies I’m Looking Forward to this Year
Noelle Noelle stars the goddess, that is, Anna Kendrick as Santa's little sister, who has to find her brother after he goes AWOL. It's a classic Christmas feel good comedy, along the lines of Santa Clause and Home Alone, that I can't wait to watch. It's on Disney+ from 27th November Christmas Chronicles 1 & … Continue reading Christmas Movies I’m Looking Forward to this Year
3 Things I’m Thankful for This October
1. Halloween It's my favourite holiday (to the surprise of no one) and while I've not been able to celebrate the way I originally planned too (I was going to take the kids trick or treating) but we've had alot of fun anyways. The kids had a pumpkin hunt and me and Frey did some … Continue reading 3 Things I’m Thankful for This October
5 Ideas for Halloween in Lockdown
1. Halloween Movie Marathon I'll be honest, this would happen even if we weren't dealing with all the restrictions. Right now, the kids aren't really interested on live action movies, so the plan is to watch all our favourite cartoon Halloween films one afternoon, curled up on the sofa with popcorn and a large blanket, … Continue reading 5 Ideas for Halloween in Lockdown

5 Things 5 Years of Marriage Has Taught Me
1. Laughter is Best We've been married 5 years and together 9, and theres very rarely a day when we don't laugh together. My husband is quick witted and a wind up merchant, and I often knowingly take the bait. So we spend a lot of time laughing, and it's one of the things I … Continue reading 5 Things 5 Years of Marriage Has Taught Me
Today is Your Third Birthday
Today you're three, god, where has the time gone. I won't say it's been easy, your speech delay is still bad, couple that with typical toddler temper and tantrums, it's not been a cake walk, but you have been so, so worth it. My beautiful Boy You've become such a inquisitive little boy, fascinated by … Continue reading Today is Your Third Birthday
3 Things I’m Thankful for This August
1. I Went Back to Work Yep, nearly 5 and half months after lockdown started, I finally went back to work earlier this month. And I'm loving every moment of it. It's nice to have time away from the kids, doing something I'm good at, with people I'm enjoy being with. It's just a really … Continue reading 3 Things I’m Thankful for This August
First Family Day Out Since Lockdown.
We went to the Blue Planet Aquarium at Ellesmere Port on Monday. It's the first time we've had a family day out since before lockdown. Now I've mentioned before I've got a fear of deep water and the sea, so this wasn't my first choice, but the kids really enjoyed it and I don't want … Continue reading First Family Day Out Since Lockdown.
