I want to wish all Mummy Bloggers and my readers a wonderful Christmas. I hope Santa was good to your little ones. Matthew definitely enjoys all his new toys. This means a clear out of his old toys is in order in the next coming days. Take Care Janine, Hubby, Matthew & Bump xx
Today is the final and last day of the Blogging Christmas Challenge! It flew so fast, I can’t believe it actually. On this last day it’s about “Holiday Entertainment”. When you hear about that the first thing that will come to your mind is probably Christmas movies. Right now I am sitting on the couch watching “Percy Jackson and the…
I can’t believe we are nearly at the end of the Blogging Christmas challenge. Which means Christmas is nearly here. (For me a day earlier, as we do both traditions) On Day 11 of the challenge it is all about “Holiday Decorations”. I kinda shared these with you a few blog post before already but I have added some…
I have been missing a few days of the Blogging Challenge due to getting organised for the Christmas holidays. Today is my first day off (Woohoo). I won’t back into work until December 30th which is nice. Today it’s all about “Surivival Tips” on the Blogging Challenge. For some it means “how do I survive Christmas?”, for others it…
Talking about fashion in my previous post I am also not a big beauty freak. Of course I will need my little bits and pieces everyday and morning but I am not going totally mad on the make-up for example. At the moment the 2 things I am using every morning is the Maybelline New York Dream Satin Liquid foundation.…
I’m a bit behind lately with the Blogging challenge because of tiredness during pregnancy I never have the energy to post something proper. But here’s yesterday’s post. It’s all about favourite outfits. Right now, all I am wearing is leggings, leggings, leggings. Everyday. Comfiest thing ever invented especially for pregnant ladies. I never really wear any maternity clothes. I think…
Any kind of holiday season is great to do crafts with the kids. Working full-time unfortunately I never got the time to do crafts with my boy but over the Christmas period we might invest in some time as he loves doing it in creche. I am a big fan of Pinterest. There’s so many nice things you can find.…
What a busy weekend it has been. You might remember a few months back I told you all about the Santa train. If you missed it, don’t worry you can read it here again. Well we’ve been. I cannot recommend enough. Matthew is only 2 so doesn’t fully understand the whole fuss about Christmas but the Santa Experience we went…
Apologies to all my bloggers. I had to skip yesterdays challenge because we’ve been traveling the whole day to see Santa this morning. Anyway, today is “Christmas memories“. I would like to start off with my own Christmas memories as a child. Christmas in Germany was always very special. My mum and my grandparents gathered together downstairs for tea and…
Day 1 of the “12 days of Christmas” blogging challenge has come along. I am so excited to be able to take part in this. The recipe I am sharing with you I haven’t tried out myself this Christmas but it is my favourite one during this season. Its German and very popular to be eaten at Christmas markets. …
By browsing my daily mummy blogs today I stumbled across Dolly Dowsie’s post. The host of The Kiss Of Joy has created this lovely blogging challenge for everyone out there who loves Christmas. This gets you that bit more extra excited. There’s also a Facebook group you can link up to: 12 days of Christmas Group Here it goes, this…
The weather is so bad lately that Matthew watches a bit more TV than usual. Generally I just let him watch 1 hour a day. I don’t believe watching TV is bad for kids though. These days there are so many educational programmes. Anyway, I had an idea of creating a list of cartoons Matthew loves to watch. 1. Curious…
At the weekend hubby and I spent the time getting the decorations ready for Christmas. I like to have it done early so you have it longer to look at. I am sure some of you can’t agree more with me on that. Especially when it is a hassle every year to get the decorations down from the attic. This…
On Friday hubby’s sister and I went to a charity concert in Sligo. It was all for a good cause for the Donal Parson Trust. The act performing was Shane Filan. Now if some of you don’t know who this is, he used to be a member of the boyband called Westlife. (Which I used to be a big fan…
Last week the lovely people at Polagram gave me the opportunity to try out their service. What is Polagram? In a nutshell it is an app that can be downloaded for free from the Android Store or Apple Store. You can then choose any photo on your phone to be printed in any format you like. I have chosen the polaroid…
By browsing one of my mummy blogging clubs on Facebook I stumbled across a post from a mum about #Christmas Tag. Basically it is a set of 10 questions how you celebrate Christmas. I thought this is is a brilliant idea and I wanted to take part in it too. The 2 blogs I seen this on are “Entertaining Elliot”…
This evening I have finally put our advent plate together. You might remember a few posts back on my blog I told you about the German Christmas tradition. If you haven’t, don’t worry, you can read about it here again. This is the end product anyway. I am very happy with it I have to say. So tomorrow we can…
We are all in the Christmas spirit these days. That gave me an idea to share my Top 10 Christmas Movies with you. Being the 1st advent this Sunday there’s a lot of Christmas Movies on TV. I can’t wait to start watching them with my little boy. 1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Hubby and me watching this every Christmas.…
It’s November 26th late in the evening, 2 degrees outside. How can that seriously not make you feel christmassy? This evening I have started getting things ready for December/Christmas time. Check out my advent calendar I purchased from zulily a few weeks back. I wanted something different this year and I think it hit the spot. Filled with delicious chocolates…
How’s everyone’s Christmas shopping going so far? Have you started yet or are you still struggling and thinking “what do I get my little ones for Xmas this year”? I have started the shopping 2 or 3 weeks ago now at this stage because December is so fast approaching that it becomes quite hectic. The other thing to it is…
