Childhood Toys My Daughter Still Plays With*
In my ways I’m so thankful my parents are hoarders, my dad more than my mum and this 100% applies to stuff that belonged to my sister and I. The attic at their house is like a museum of childhood and every time my dad is on holiday he insists he’s going to sort it out. I know somewhere there is a huge box of all my classic novels like Little Women, Alice in Wonderland, The Wind in the Willows that I collected as a child. There’s also so many plush toys from the Disney Store i’m sure I could make a fortune on eBay. Somewhere there is replica Cinderella…

Valentines Day Gifts with Debenhams
SOME LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE As I mentioned in my post on Thursday, I’m single again but that probably won’t stop me celebrating Valentines Day in my own way and Debenhams were kind enough to send me an amazing hamper filled with my favourite Valentines gift picks to share with you all, just in case your other half is lacking in inspiration on what you buy for the big day. Of course Valentines Day isn’t just about the gifts. It’s about showing your loved one, be that a significant other, a child, or even a friend just how you feel about them. Technically, you…

Getting an Annual Pass at Disneyland Paris
On our trip to Disneyland Paris last month I finally did something that’s been on my bucket list for a while, we became Annual Pass Holders! I have considered it for Walt Disney World for the last two years but as they regularly have black out days I would have had to get the top tier one making it well over $1000 for Little Miss and I where as I could buy a 21 day one for our trip in March and a 14 day one for our trip in October for both of us and it still cost less. Plus by getting the 14 day pass in October it…

Goals for 2017 – Learn to Use My Camera*
At the start of the year I wasn’t in the best head space to be making new years resolutions, not that I make any real ones anyway, I just usually set myself some goals to help improve my life. Now a month in I feel like I’m in a better place to real look at what I want to achieve in 2017. I strongly dislike January, and after my break up at the end of December I found it harder than ever but I survived, I made some good memories and I’m ready to move on. Now at the start of February it’s time to real dig my heals in,…

Looking Back on January 2017
Towards the end of last year I got lax on my “Looking Back On…”, which sucked because I really enjoyed doing them and it was a nice way to reflect on my best of blog, keeping all my favourite posts from the month together along with a summary of what we got up to. So for 2017 I’m going to do my best to resurrect them. January has, as ever, been a truly long and gruelling month. Anxiety has been high, self esteem has been low and the weather has been pretty rubbish. This January was particularly bad as I was (still am) nursing a truly broken heart and it’s…

Hello Five!
On Saturday Little Miss turned five! I’m not sure why but five seems a lot older than four! Maybe it’s because she’s at school now, or has almost lost her third tooth, or just the fact she really is no longer a baby. She is starting to read and write and is completely independent as far as dressing and undressing herself, brushing her hair, teeth and feeding herself. She really is a big girl now. Unlike last year I didn’t find done to do a pre-birthday photo shoot and put together a post because she was at school and then in the evening I had a cake and balloon disaster…
