…the snow finally came. I’d been watching the news about the snow fall and feeling left out until last night. About 10pm the snow started falling and barely stopped all day. Fortunately my husband was discharged from hospital today so we decided to take Edward for a walk so he could see his first snow….

Fabric advent calendar
Hooray, finally we can open our Advent Calendars and light our Advent candle. As we’re spending Christmas with my mum she mentioned we should sit down and start planning meals over Christmas! I don’t think we need to do this just yet but my mum is so organised she has already ordered the turkey and…
Cyber Monday
I hate to admit it but being married to a true IT geek means I am currently sitting in the hospital with my MacBook Air and MiFi card. My husband is asleep (and still no news when he will be discharged) so I am taking the opportunity to do a little online shopping. Apparently yesterday…
Oh Christmas tree…
My 6 year old niece has banned us from talking about the C word until the 1st of December (apparently her teacher has enforced this in the classroom). However we can’t help it and we certainly can’t escape it in the shops, on the radio, in the papers. Even the local Council have already put…
Snowflake: Beautiful Christmas songs for you and your family
This year we’re very excited, ok, I’m very excited, as it’s bubba’s first Christmas.

Simplify your Christmas
Having worked for the largest international humanitarian organisation for the last 6 years I know that every little helps. I’ve been able to see exactly how well run campaigns can make a huge difference to those in need, which is why I am happy to support the Oxfam Unwrapped initiative. Since 2004 Oxfam has encouraged…
Christmas Cath Kidston style
I have a small obsession with Cath Kidston and although I try not to go too often on my last visit I spent far too much. I went in for the new London iPhone 4 case which I duly purchased. However her Christmas range is starting to creep into the stores and I couldn’t resist….
What do you buy the boy who has everything?
I’m wondering what do you buy the boy who has everything for his first Christmas? My son has everything he needs and at 7 months he’s too young to hand me a wish list of toys he would like. My husband has been restoring some beautiful vintage wooden toys for him and I’m making him…
