Life's all about the little things…
This year my main Christmas present to Miya was the gift of afternoon Tea! I paid for her to come with me, Mum and Granny on the Christmas B Bakery Bus Tour... I was so excited to tell her but the child inside of me was worried that just giving her a voucher on Christmas [...]
After a busy week, the baby being born, my Christmas work do, a 30th birthday party AND a day in London...a lazy day was well and truly on the cards! I had a sleepover at Mums so me and Miya woke up had breakfast and did just that! We started with a classic... Home Alone [...]
This years annual trip Trafalgar Square for the Christmas carols was kicked up a notch! We started the day with Christmas lunch at Forty Dean Street and it was lovely! We ate off the Christmas Menu which was £35 each for a glass of prosecco and three courses. I had... Cranberry and pistachio goats cheese [...]
For our Christmas work do this year we went to the lovely Pircio, a Turkish/Italian restaurant in Bishops Stortford. The food's yummy (as are the porn star martinis), the atmosphere's great and I love that they made the effort to put out Christmas crackers etc to help and "festive up" the feel of the place. [...]
On Tuesday 10th December 11:21pm my delicious neice joined us all on planet earth, weighing in at a whopping 8lb 7oz and making me an Auntie TIMES TWO. Completely different to her petite and baldy older sister Trinity, she's covered in rolls and has a head full of fluffy dark hair. Unlike her sister, who was [...]
A good old movie night can fit any occasion but at Christmas time they just seem to fit extra perfectly! Lazy winter afternoons, cold cosy night in, hot chocolate, a take away or just you a blanket and your slipper socks (and if you're like me, all the fairy lights on) Choosing the perfect film [...]
Since practicing the art of self-care and gratitude my outlook on life has transformed dramatically... And although I still very much have my bad days, my new found "attitude of gratitude" and awareness allow me to better recognize when my bad days are creeping up and understand why. Learning ways in which to help "care" [...]
It's quiet strange really how some of us only associate certain food with Christmas- but never the less...we do! I found myself walking past my faves in the supermarket and telling myself "wait until Christmas" but then it dawned on me...we're not hosting Christmas so what am I waiting for? We don't want to hold [...]
So basically, Me and Alex got home from South Africa on December 2nd and headed straight out for a Christmas tree. We went in a bit blind and very last minute but actually it couldn't have gone better and we're IN LOVE with our b-e-a-utiful little tree and I want to dedicate a post to [...]
If you're a regular around here you'll already how long the Kew Winter Trail has been on my FESTIVE BUCKET LIST and finally...here it is! The Kew Winter Trail in pictures! We followed the trail stopping at the mini fair ground and Christmas market for a grilled cheese, brownie and to toast marshmallows. It simply [...]
