    Bah-Humbug to Elf On The Shelf Gifts & Christmas Eve Box

    November 27, 2019 /

    Elf On The Shelf – I am no Scrooge, I absolutely LOVE Christmas anyone who knows me knows I am Mrs Christmas. However, this Christmas is going to be a little different to Christmases past. We only started the Elf on The Shelf tradition a few years ago, up until then the children hadn’t even heard of the said imp. But, as with all these trends we got sucked in by peer pressure – mainly social media and the kiddies at school. It’s fine though I actually really love the idea of the cheeky elf hiding and playing tricks on the children and of course they are obsessed. For the…

    I can hear the faint jingling of festive cheer and Christmas sparkle. Time to start thinking about gifts for loved ones and all that Christmas food – yum yum!

    What I Ate Today – Coeliac Gluten Free

    November 22, 2019 /

    What I Ate Today BREAKFAST No matter how hard I try I cannot steer myself away from a good hearty bowl of porridge. I love Asda Free From Porridge Oats (40g) in a bowl with a dark chocolate Biomel and a dollop of peanut butter. This genuinely fills me up for a good 4 hours. MID MORNING SNACK Another favourite as you will know, a salted caramel Nakd Bar. Absolutely delicious and a perfect snack to keep me going. LUNCH Two things I can no longer stomach at the moment but on this particular day I made eggs, turkey bacon, cheese and cherry tomatoes. Eggs really upset my tummy if…

    Little Brian Paint Sticks 2-in-1 Art Station

    November 20, 2019 /

    If your children are anything like mine, they love nothing more than pulling all the arts, crafts and paints out of the cupboard to create a masterpiece. Over the years we have acquired quite a selection of crafting materials from pavement chalks to googly eyes and lots of glitter glue (eeek!), you name it I’ve bought it. LITTLE BRIAN ART STATION With thoughts of Christmas on the horizon I’m sure you are all getting organised and searching for ideas for pressies. This is certainly one for the top of the Christmas list and I guarantee your children will absolutely love getting creative with the Little Brian Paint Sticks 2-in-1 Art…

    Christmas Days Out In Devon & Somerset

    November 18, 2019 /

    Last year was all about our move to Somerset, it had over-taken everything. When we moved in September Christmas plans were the last thing on our mind, we were in a new area making our usual festivities unfamiliar. We had a wonderful time though getting settled into our new home and Christmas was still full of magic. Fast forward 12 months, we are well established in our area and as luck would have it we have some lovely festive treats all booked in. I thought I would share a few of the days out/activities we have planned just in case any of them appeal to you – it isn’t too…

    Sail With Santa, Stuartline Cruises Exmouth

    November 14, 2019 /

    A couple of years ago we were wondering how to celebrate the festive season with the children. We usually pop to Otter Nurseries as it is such good magical fun, but we decided to give Sail With Santa a go. Sail With Santa is located down on the beautiful Marina in Exmouth, hosted by the ever popular Stuartline Cruises. We were met at the dock and given our special tickets to board the boat, all dressed up in our best Christmas attire we hopped aboard a lovely warm festive boat and set sail. The boat is obviously all kitted out with Christmas decs, snacks, drinks and Christmas tunes playing to…

    Seasonal Affective Disorder or Autumn Blues?

    November 11, 2019 /

    Seasonal Affective Disorder? The weekend has been and gone, the rain has returned and it is freezing. I usually love days like these but I’m not feeling very Autumnal today in fact, I think I have the Autumn Blues (if that’s a thing, if not, it is now!). To be fair it seems like we skipped the stunning orange hues of October, the crunchy leaves were a soggy mushy mess, we experienced enough rain to last a lifetime and it just did not feel like Autumn – more like January/February time. I feel I was robbed of my October and the lovely warm cosy glow I get inside when Autumn…

    Believe it or not I’ve never been to the theatre. It has been on my bucket list for a while now and I am so excited to finally be able to go and see a show. I have been very kindly invited to watch the heart warming musical adaptation of The Railway Children which is this year’s Christmas production from the outstanding Taunton’s Brewhouse Theatre. The Brewhouse is renowned for its legendary Christmas productions and really sets you up with festive spirit and cheer.
