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

They are available from Argos from £4.99. You can help bring the virtual Club Penguin to life with a range of cuddly Penguin and Puffle plush, perfect for recreating icy adventures at home and for a special gift, each comes…

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

My community midwife had mentioned that North Middlesex University Hospital were keen to discharge patients the day after the section if they and their baby were fine. She warned me that this could cause problems and not to leave if I wasn’t ready so I went into hospital with an open mind. I was surprised when my midwife suggested it to me but I felt fine, was on top of the pain and really wanted to be at home with Edward. We were back at home 32 hours after we walked into the Labour ward. Our first night at home…

So on Monday the day finally came when we would get to meet our new baby. We dropped Edward off with a friend and drove to the hospital. On arrival we found out that we were the third section booked that morning and there was the possibility of a couple of emergency sections too. We were taken to a large double room with en-suite bathroom and settled down for a long wait. The Anaesthetist came for a chat about pain relief and when she had gone we took some photographs of ourselves and the lovely babygro we had made the…

I’m a big fan of Dorset Cereals products and was really excited when I heard they were launching a seasonal porridge. It’s only available in Waitrose (or online) so it took a while to get my hands on some but it was worth the wait! Made with barley flakes as well as the usual jumbo oats, it also contains crumbled pieces of real gingerbread and tiny pieces of date. Each box contains 10 x 42g sachets which can be cooked on the hob or in the microwave. I love porridge for breakfast and have been enjoying the gingerbread porridge. The…
