Spoiling Your Pet At Christmas*
Whenever anyone asks I always say I have a family of three, myself, Little Miss and my furbaby Elsa. Elsa is as much part of my family as anyone and since having a cat I don’t know how long I survived without her. Because of this she gets throughly spoilt at Christmas. Why shouldn’t my baby be surrounded by gifts on the big day? Unlike with Little Miss who is able to pick what she’d like Santa, I try to buy Elsa more pratical gifts and of course treats that are going to last us over the next few months. Of course it’s so easy to completely spoil your pet…

Disney Parks Essentials – Our Favourite Small Shops*
Getting ready for any Disney holiday is stressful, be you visiting for a couple of days or a couple of weeks. It’s not cheap and you want to have the most magical time possible and part of that magic is in the preperation. As a parent, for me the prep is in the outfit planning and the little things that will really make Little Miss feel like she’s in the Disney bubble and I’ve found if you shop small rather than shopping while at a Disney Parks it doesn’t need to cost the earth. Over the last two years I’ve come across so many different shops through places like Etsy,…

Tips for Getting That Perfect Instagram Picture This Christmas*
Whenever I’m asked what my favourite app is my answer is ALWAYS Instagram. I’ve been on Instagram since I got my very first iPhone back in 2010. In the beginning Instagram just worked as social media to share photos, being a very visual person I love snapping, adding filters and posting mundane moments of my life. I was also going through my “self confidence” phase so I loved a selfie. It wasn’t important to take your photos from amazing angles and since everyone love the filters (and back then there was no other way to edit your photos) it wasn’t important to have amazing photography skills. After 3 years I…

The Side Affects of Parenting*
Today the school holidays started, hooray! Nineteen days of full time parenting my four year old including Christmas, which should also be known as “national hyperactive child day“. In fact the whole week leading up to the big day is just crazy, I remember my mum actually losing her voice during Christmas when I was a kid due to constantly shouting at my sister and I! Yes being a parent is wonderful and rewarding, I feel blessed every single day, but there is no denying that it’s hard work! Especially at this time of year. Next month Little Miss turns 5. It feels so much bigger than 4. I have…

Christmas Ideas with Snapfish
I know a lot of people become interesting in photography when they become parents but for me, it’s always been a huge interest. When I was at uni I was always the one with the camera snapping memories for people who wouldn’t remember the night (often me). I always had a camera for every holiday, and not just my phone, a proper camera. A couple of years ago I invested in an SLR shortly before my first trip to Florida and it was the best thing I’ve ever got. I’m hoping to treat myself to my 3rd lens in the new year. Because I take a lot of photos, it’s…
