I can’t resist looking round the food section at Ikea as I’m a fan of Swedish food. On our last visit I spotted they were selling Pepparkaka which I just had to try for myself. Each packet contains 8 pepparkaka or gingerbread biscuits, 4 x hearts and 4 x stars, for a very reasonable 90p. Each biscuit has a hole which can be threaded with ribbon and hung around the house or on the Christmas tree. We really enjoyed these biscuits. They smelt delicious, had just the right amount of spices (ingredients include ginger, clove and cinnamon). They are also…

Difficult to believe Little Sis is one week old today. Edward is a completely lovable handful, constantly wanting to hold his sister, rock her in her chair, put dirty nappies in the nappy bin as well as being his typical toddler self. Poor Little Sister is just fitting in and going with the flow. She can often be found snoozing in her Stokke newborn chair whilst madness goes on around her. She can sleep through Edward’s noises but is wide awake in the peacefulness of the small hours! It took us a couple of days to decide on her name…

On the third day of Christmas my mummy bought for me – Club Penguin gifts (fun festive crafts and a hamster dressed like royalty!).

I can’t help but pop into a Hotel Chocolat whenever I walk past one. On my last visit I snapped up some of their gingerbread truffles, all in the name of research for this blog you understand. The pack contained six truffles, a super soft milk chocolate truffle with yummy gingerbread flavours of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. To be honest I’m not a huge fan of truffles so these haven’t been my favourite seasonal gingerbread product this year. The gingerbread flavour is lovely though and my husband was happy to polish off the remaining truffles! £3.50 for 6 truffles
