    12 Days of Christmas – Christmas of My Childhood

    December 19, 2017 /

    I’ve been wanting to do a post about my childhood Christmases all season but I just wasn’t sure how to do it. However I saw this tag on Kate on Thin Ice and decided to turn it on it’s head by answering about past Christmases rather than how we celebrate now, which is something I have often shared on the blog. So here we have The Christmas Tag, reflecting on Christmases of the past. Just a note. I won’t be tagging anyone as this isn’t the real tag. I have changed it to fit with my post. So I hope you enjoy some photos I’ve dug out from Christmas past!…

    12 Days of Christmas – Christmas Eve Box

    December 18, 2017 /

    As I mentioned in my Christmas Traditions I Love post, one of my favourite traditions is the Christmas Eve box. I started this tradition for Little Miss when she was a baby having seen other parents doing it and it being all over Pinterest. We always had to wear old pjs on Christmas eve then get new ones for Christmas which made no sense. This way LM is all clean and in new pjs for when Santa comes. It’s also a really nice way to kick off Christmas. There are also things in the box that will keep her busy on Christmas eve while mummy cleans (anyone else clean like…

    12 Days of Christmas – Pre-Christmas Pampering*

    December 17, 2017 /

    In the run up to Christmas everyone is so busy. If you have kids you’ll have had a list of activities home come home from school. If you don’t you may have staff parties, nights out with friends, and then you may even just go out to celebrate the holiday season. This is why pre-Christmas pampering is such a thing. I don’t even go out and I still like to pamper myself in the run up to Christmas, which is why today I’m sharing a few ways I do just that; Hair Care I haven’t had my hair dyed since the middle of October. As you may know, I dye…

    12 Days of Christmas – My 5 Favourite Christmas Movies

    December 16, 2017 /

    One of my favourite things to do at Christmas is to watch festive movies. I don’t keep them out all year around so it means LM pretty much binge watches them all between the end of November and the start of January to get her fill before the go up into the loft for the rest of the year. I also try and pick up some new ones every year so I am slowly building up a collection. In the past LM was more into the Christmas specials of Disney Jr shows such as Mickey Mouse Club House, Handy Manny and Sofia, however this year she’s really enjoyed watching some…

    12 Days of Christmas – Surviving the Festive Season with Hello Fresh

    December 15, 2017 /

    Christmas is such a busy time for everyone! Children have so much on at school, parents have all the prep, it’s not surprising that everyone’s healthy eating goes right out the window. Now I’m not talking diets here, I’m talking about actually having a hearty meal as a family and not just ordering take out or eating from the freezer for easiness every night. My mother and I usually meal plan before going grocery shopping, but I have to admit we haven’t since the start of December because we’ve been so busy, so when Hello Fresh sent me a three meal box, it felt like a complete blessing. I cannot…

    Little Miss Cosplays Livvy Lou Who

    December 14, 2017 /

    It’s been a long time since I shared a Little Miss Cosplays post as most of our Disney content is over on Livvy Bird Adventures now, however this past weekend she cosplayed a non-Disney and very Christmassy character that I really wanted to share with you all. This year LM’s favourite Christmas movie has been The Grinch. She watched it for the very first time at my parent’s house around mid November and she quick became obssessed. She must have seen it at least 12 times in the last month, which is a lot considering how much she’s at school and drama. I wasn’t surprised at her attachment to the…
