5 Ways to Get Your Home to Feel Warm This Christmas*
The last few weeks have been so cold, so cold to the point that even with the heating on in the house I still need a blanket while sat on the sofa. I’m mid terrace so it shouldn’t be that cold, but with the weather dipping below the zero point, we all know winter is well and truly here. Aside form whacking the heating up to full, there are a few other things to do that will help you feel warmer at home this Winter. I popped out to B&M (as I’m now and ambassador, how exciting) and picked up a few Christmassy bits that will help create a warm…

Why I Start Christmas Shopping in July*
Yes, you read that right. I start Christmas shopping in July. Well they don’t have a whole “Christmas in July” thing for nothing! Jokes aside, yes weeks ago I started Christmas shopping. I received an Amazon voucher and aside from my sister’s belated birthday present I used it to buy things to put away for LM’s Christmas and I have absolutely no regrets. Christmas is expensive! And this year in November I want to book our flights to Florida and make a Christmas trip out to Disneyland Paris as a last hara with our Annual Passes before they expire. I used to start in September but these days with being…

Christmas Day 2016
Even though it’s been over 2 weeks since the big day, I still feel like I should put together a post about our Christmas Day. Of course the Christmas season was completely different to the one I’d imagined earlier on in the year and sadly now it’ll forever live in shadow of a break up. But we did the best we could with what we had and I know by putting on a brave face Little Miss had a wonderful day. She was completely spoilt as usual but she was very grateful and even announced “My mummy is very kind” to my sister and nephew. I possibly shed a tear…

Christmas Eve 2016
A couple of days ago I blogged about what we got up to during the Christmas season as we did a lot in the run up to the big day. I also have two more posts to write on the matter as I love to keep a log to look back on. I have a post to write about what we did on Christmas Day, and then today’s post which is all about our Christmas eve. Before starting I loved that I was able search for the post about Christmas Eve 2015 and I had a little bit of a giggle to see that Christmas Eve 2016 followed a very…

What We Did for Christmas 2016
I really enjoyed doing my What We Did for Halloween 2016 that I decided to do one as a round up of all the Christmassy things we’ve been up to this December. Sometimes I don’t take enough photos or have enough to say about a specific thing that happened so by doing this round up post I can still make a record of how to celebrated Christmas in 2016. Of course I’ll no doubt still do a post all about Little Miss’ Christmas eve and then one about Christmas day itself but we have had a busy December so it seems a shame not to share all the little things…

A #GiftToFamily
2016, well it’s been a funny old year hasn’t it? For me it’s been both amazing and tiring. I’ve had a lot of family hardships mainly around my sister and her mental health. This is my little sister with her little boy. She’s two years, 4 months and 1 day younger than me. Growing up we did not get on, mainly because she was the baby and my mum made a lot of excuses for her. I hated being the eldest. Things changed when we hit our teenage years, she became gorgeous and I was a bit jealous and i’m fairly sure she resented me because I was the eldest.…
