Another week has passed. Thanks to everyone who linked up to the first week of my Christmas Gift Guide linky. I really enjoyed everybody’s list and even got some inspiration for my own family which is mainly the point of this linky. This is the best way to share everyone’s ideas and get gift suggestions from other blogs. I specifically…
Today I am sharing a gift guide for children aged 3 years and over. I am not going to lie, this was the hardest list to make. Some items on this list I got for Matthew himself but I am still struggling with a main present for him because I think I decided against the balance bike now and just…
I have started the Christmas present shopping about a week ago and I am happy to say that I am nearly finished. The hardest bit really was to make the list and to decide what the kids actually need and is not a waste of money. Chloe’s presents were the easiest things to pick for some reason. I still have…
Today marks a very important day for me. It’s World Pancreatic Cancer Day. November is known as Pancreatic Cancer month. The second World Pancreatic Cancer Day on Friday, Nov. 13, will unite advocates around the globe in their mission to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer. An estimated 926 people globally are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day. And every day, an estimated…
It is tradition now at this stage to have a Christmas Jumper Day in our work place. But you can’t just have one for the sake of having one. There needs to be a reason behind it and what other great cause can it be other than donating for a charity that badly needs it. This year we agreed to…
For the new year I said to myself that I would try and get out more with the kids and the hubby to do more stuff together as a family. Chloe will be one in February so she will be at an age it will be easier to travel. Less bottles, less stops and proper food. Before we had kids,…
I am back with another seasonal linky. If you enjoyed my “Halloween Linky” last month, then why not join in for this month “Christmas Gift Guide Linky” leading up to Christmas. This is a brilliant opportunity to link up your ideas what to get for him, her the kids, friends or family this Christmas and while doing that you can look…
It’s that time of the year again. I am in the middle of making a list for every family member in the house. I swear it’s not easy and especially it is not easy for the kids. You’d think it would be as there are so many things out there you can get these days. The main reason why I…
This year Ella’s Kitchen has teamed up with “Save the Children” and has created something really special for our little ones. It is coming in just in time for this Christmas. The new Christmas Dinner pouch. From the sale of each Ella’s Kitchen jingle belly Christmas Dinner pouch, 30p will be donated to “Save the Children’s award-winning Families and Schools Together…
I have started buying more clothes for Chloe, warmer clothes. I know it is November and all that but it is really warm for November. Either the weather has gone completely mad, or we are getting a very hard and deep winter. Here are a few things I bought for herself recently. You can completely get the idea that I…
For a long time now I have been saying I want to ditch Matthew’s dodie. Back then I said to myself that I would do it once he turns 2. But this was also the time he became more attached to it. It could have been because his last molars at the back were cutting through and he needed something to comfort…
Welcome back to my monthly review for the Parragon Books. I am receiving these as part of the book buddy club. For the month of October we received a board book library about Mickey Mouse. They are the cutest books I ever got and so perfect for Matthew’s age. Sometimes I find it hard to purchase books online that actually…
I have been experiencing some issues with my blog URL the last few days. I wasn’t too sure what it could be, so I started to google a few things and asked a few fellow bloggers to see if they have any idea what it could be. Yesterday then it got to the point of being unresponsive. It was taking minutes…
Halloween was very exciting this year because Matthew was finally at the age where he understood what it means. I still wasn’t quite sure whether he will dress up or go trick or treating but more to that later. It was Chloe’s first Halloween to celebrate at the age of only nearly 9 months. I wanted to have a special…
And it happened again… another month has passed by and we are now into November. Can I just mention, it is only 52 more days until Christmas. Ahhh! Time to get that Christmas Shopping started. Back to the actual news I wanted to tell you about. Chloe has turned 9 months old yesterday. My not so little baby is only…
For the October “Me and Mine” Linky up I couldn’t resist but take a Halloween themed family photo. Hubby must be getting sick of hearing me say “We have to take a family photo for the Me and Mine Linky again”. In the end it is so worth it though when you want to look back on then later in…
We have entered November. Can you actually believe it. This means it is only 55 days until Christmas. I don’t know about you guys, but I feel this year has flown by. As an anticipation to Christmas I always like to do a few things beforehand to get even more excited about the most cosiest family time of the year.…
Recently Mumsnet was looking for bloggers to review the wide eyed book range. I was one of the lucky ones who was able to receive a copy and review it/ read it. To let you know in advance, at the age of 3, Matthew is still a bit young to understand this book but he did enjoy spotting all the…
It is the last week of my Halloween link up. Everybody who linked up over the last 2 weeks I want to shout a big thank you to you all. With Halloween fast approaching and only being 4 days away, this will be my last Halloween linky this week so be sure to link up one more time. Last week I…
A while ago I came up with a great idea for a keepsake for Chloe’s first Halloween. Why not do a photo session but do it your own way? I regret that I have never done this for Matthew’s first Halloween but you always seem to come up with these things when you have your second child. Anyway, I thought…
