Today I am sharing 20 children’s Christmas crafts that will be great to do with your kids this Christmas. There are so many lovely ideas out there I found it difficult to narrow it down to just 20! First on my list to make are the adorable pom pom pinecone ornaments as I have just bought a little tree for the dining room and they are just going to look perfect on it!

Hi everyone. Anyone else feeling really overwhelmed with everything they need to do before Christmas? Yes? Good to know I’m not alone! I really need to get my Christmas shopping finished. I just don’t know what to buy anyone this year! I know it will all fall into place and if it doesn’t it won’t be the end of the world but I tend to go into panic mode if I’m not organised and I’m really not organised! I’m finishing work for the day now and I’m going to make a big list of everything I need to do to try and make me feel a bit better… I really want to start enjoying the build up to Christmas!

A few weeks ago I was invited to the brand new David Clulow Opticians in Nottingham for an eye test and to choose a pair of glasses. The opportunity could not have come at a more perfect time as I was due for an eye test and my eyes were really feeling ready for a new prescription.

I just love this time of year, there is nothing I love more than getting busy in the kitchen with the kids and making some delicious treats. I do try to keep it nice and simple so that the end result can be enjoyed sooner rather than later as I find the kids will get a bit bored with waiting to sample their goods. I’m really looking forward to getting our Christmas bake on and make some of these yummy treats. Read more
Good morning everyone! Are you all ready for Christmas? I’m not quite there yet but I find by getting my house all pretty and ready for Christmas it gets me more in the mood! Last year I had a big clear out of all our old decorations so all we are left with this year is basically the tree! So I thought I would share some of the gorgeous DIY decorations that I have found and fallen in love with. We are going to have a crafting weekend this weekend and make some of these pretties… Read more
Good morning everyone! How are you all? I had a huge clear out yesterday, the car is full of stuff to donate to charity and we ordered the main presents last night so I am feeling a bit more organised than I was last week. Boo was away on a cross country course this weekend so we had a quiet weekend at home with Bugs just getting stuff done. I did get to go out on Saturday night for a Christmas meal and a few drinks which was fun. I’m now looking forward to the kids breaking up so we can all relax and enjoy Christmas but before that we have three very busy weeks left at school; full of pantomime trips, discos and the usual Christmas activities.

Companies usually give their employees an allowance each year which can be used to take time away from work. This is something which you work towards throughout the year, getting less pay each month, and having it put into a pot to make your holidays possible. Of course, though, when your work is busy, it isn’t always easy to know when you will have to make this time. In a lot of cases, this can limit the chances you have to go on holiday, as you won’t have time to book the packages you want. To help you out with this, this post will be exploring some of the best ways to make it possible to go on holiday on a last minute basis. Read more
