Have I mentioned how ridiculously excited I am about Christmas this year? A small child's excitement is infectious and I'm falling for the magic and wonder of Christmas all over again.There are so many things that we're able to do with Jenson during the build up that he hasn't been interested in before. Now he… Continue reading Making Christmas magical with Lapland Letters
Wow, this Christmas is so different to last year already. For a start, Jenson can tell us what he'd like for Christmas. Secondly, he knows who Father Christmas is - and he's been 'calling' him since the start of October telling him what's on his list. From the start it's been a Paw Patrol Lookout… Continue reading Jenson’s Christmas list
I love my Dingbats* bullet journal. I've tried ten different dot grid notebooks and this one always comes out on top (check out all of my reviews and ratings here). I've previously blogged about how I use it to track my reading and now I want to share how I'm using it to plan for… Continue reading Using my bullet journal to plan for Christmas
One of my biggest achievements when it comes to raising Jenson is his love of books. He always chooses a bedtime story (usually the same one on repeat for a few weeks) and at the end he immediately says "read it again!". He's deep in a Paw Patrol obsession at the moment, so we always… Continue reading What Jenson has been reading lately #4
I think this past month may have been my favourite so far in my life as "Jenson's Mummy". He's getting on so well at nursery, he really enjoyed this Christmas, his relationship with his older cousin is growing and he's learning so much. We had a mini review from nursery and I was so freaking… Continue reading Jenson: 31 months old
And, just like that, Christmas is over for another year. Well, I'm still celebrating for another week and a half as I don't go back to work until the eighth but, as far as Jenson is concerned, Christmas is over as he's opened all of his presents! During the festive period we've decorated trees, met… Continue reading Christmas 2017 in photos
I'm guilty of posting a highlights reel a lot of the time when it comes to life with Jenson. Although I've discussed the reality of miscarriage, life with a newborn, colic and c-section recovery, most of the photos you see focus on the good times rather than the tantrums that occur seconds before or after… Continue reading The Magic of Christmas
Ermagerd, it's only three more sleeps til Christmas! Are you ready? I'm nearly there - just two more stocking fillers to pick up today, plus a dessert to take to Mum's for dinner and that's it. Here's a look at what I've been loving this week. Read: Ready Player One. This was on my wish… Continue reading Ready Player One, A Christmas Prince and even more Christmas crafts #LittleLoves
Self-care can be hard during the festive period. You're so bogged down with trying to finish work before the office closes for the holidays and ensuring that everyone else has a good time that it can be easy to forget to look after yourself. Plus, with the added pressure of gift giving and feeling the… Continue reading Self-Care Sunday #37
Tis the season to be jolly, so let's enjoy the snow, have a crack at some Christmas DIYs and set some goals for the new year. Here's a rundown of the blog posts I've loved this week. I'm so jealous of everyone who had proper snow this week but have loved looking at your photo… Continue reading Saturday Share #124
