#ChristmasJumperDay 2015
In the UK today it’s #ChristmasJumperDay an annual tradition where you don your Christmas jumper (the uglier the better) and donate to charity. Not just any charity, but Save the Children. Every year since LM was a baby we’ve taken part but it’s only the last two years we’ve had these adorkable matching sweaters from Asda. When we purchased them a percentage of the sales went straight to Save the Children. They’re actually for men and LM’s is for a boy, but we don’t care! Today I matched ours with tartan. Mine, a tartan dress I bought years ago from ASOS and LM’s a pair of leggings from Cutie Pie…

LM’s Fav Christmas Books
In our house we don’t have Christmas books & DVDs available all year around, they get packed away with the Christmas tree meaning that when I put the tree up LM is able to get them out. This stops me getting too annoyed when I have to read or watch them over and over again during the Christmas period. Every year I add a few more of each to our collection. Ever since our tree went up I’ve been reading one book/story (as some of our books have multiple stories in) a night to LM at bedtime so last night I asked her to pick her favourites and give me…

Our Local Christmas Market
Today was the day of our local Christmas Market. I always try to support it but it really is nothing compared to the ones in the cities (which I really miss visiting). However after the family drama yesterday it was so nice for LM and I to get some time ourselves with my parents and LM truly enjoyed the attention from Nanny and Grandad. We were all wrapped up due to it being so cold but we spent a couple of hours enjoying the stalls and LM met Santa Claus again. I took my camera in hopes of getting some good photos but my fingers were numb after 10 minutes!…

A Christmas Night in with Primula
I know Christmas is supposed to be the season for the whole “Party Up” kinda thing (if you’ve ever been to Magic Kingdom and watched Move It Shake It you’ll have just got that reference and I hope you smiled). But as a single mother with no friends in my home town, it means I actually do no partying at all. In fact, I don’t remember the last time I had a night on the town.. how sad? But just because I’m stuck in doesn’t mean I can’t kick back, relax and feel the Christmas vibes. In fact, now that Little Miss is a little person rather than a baby,…

Our Christmas Home
For Blogmas Day 10, I just wanted to share an image heavy post featuring some photos of how our home looks during the Christmas period. This year I put our tree up on the 27th November and all the rest of the rest of the decorations up the day after. I put the lights and the tinsel on the tree then LM helped me put the ornaments on it. Our decorations are very Disney weighted, even our tinsel has Mickey heads on it. If every aspect of our life is Disney, why not Christmas too? I’m going to do a pots dedicated to my favourite tree ornaments later on during…

What Little Miss Wore to her Christmas Party
Today was Little Miss’ Christmas party at pre-school! She’s been so excited about it the last few days especially how they’ve been practising games and singing Christmas songs. As I mentioned in Blogmas Day 5, she’s really into Christmas this year. Yesterday she came home from pre-school with a folder with her handmade Christmas card in, a calendar, a tree decoration and a present from Santa Claus which was sweet. Then today of course she had her party which meant being there nearly the whole day as she attends a morning session and the party was held in the afternoon! She seems to have enjoyed herself and I just want…
