Seeing as Christmas is two weeks away I thought today would be a good day to answer a few Christmas questions! Polly from Our Seaside Baby tagged me to answer the questions below… What’s your favourite Christmas Movie? It’s got to be Home Alone, but I do also have a soft spot for Love Actually! Where do you usually spend your holiday? At home, as normally Sam has worked a Christmas day shift but this…
There is no time quite like Christmas. Almost everywhere you go, you are surrounded by reminders that “‘tis the season”. And yet, with such busy lives and normal to-do lists, it is all too easy to get swept away and distracted by daily life that you could miss out on getting into the festive spirit. So once it hits December (yes I wait until December, we only just put up our tree!) it’s time to immerse…
A few days ago we got right into the festive spirit with a trip to Marwell Zoo for their Christmas Experience. It didn’t disappoint and was the perfect way to kick start the Christmas season, though I definitely will not be putting up our decorations until December don’t you worry! Both Athena’s school and Arlo’s preschool have started the countdown to Christmas by starting to talk about Christmas discos, plays and making Christmas cards and…
I love giving personalised calendars as gifts because it’s something that will be used daily, and is a lovely way to remind the recipient of what you all look like if you don’t see them often! We send them to grand parents, aunts and uncles and sometimes god parents too. For the first time I’ve made a personalised calendar with Funky Pigeon this year, who currently have a half price offer on all calendars, meaning…
Merry Christmas! I hope you all had a wonderful day, and continue to have a lovely Christmas break, if you’re fortunate enough to have one! We’ve had a lovely quiet day, mostly because Athena is pretty under the weather (you can tell she wasn’t really feeling a family photo on Christmas eve and just wanted to get to bed!) But we had a bloody awesome Christmas dinner before Sam headed off to work, glittery beard…
There are two types of people in the world; those that bestow gifts which look like they’ve fallen straight out of a magazine, and the rest of the population that are still struggling with sticky tape and string (that’s me normally!) It’s not hard to see that a beautifully wrapped present is a gift in itself, especially during the festive season when a present will be displayed under a tree for a week or so before…
I love choosing presents for people, I’m sure I don’t get it right all the time but I do try and put some thought into the gifts I give. It does make it easier now that I am older as I have less adults to buy presents for and more kids, who are infinitely easier to buy for. This is because they’ll see something on an advert or in a shop and tell you that…
So now I’ve finished work for Christmas (I worked Saturday) I can relax and feel a bit more festive (although I am the manager ‘on call’ for my hotel and 5 others so fingers crossed for me that I don’t get a call, or worse have to go and help someone out with something drastic!) and my mum arrives for a few days tomorrow night (which can be stressful) but we are heading to my…
